“You’ll see.” I wasn’t about to give up my hand just yet. Instead, I kept tracing my fingertips over his skin, tracing each line of muscle as if I could memorize the entire map of him. I didn’t want to stop, even when he started squirming impatiently underneath me. I could feel his desire, the firm outline of his cock as he rolled his hips up against mine. To feel sowantedmade me smile as I kissed him, a new idea popping into my head.
I slid down the length of his body, ignoring his soft whine of protest. “Where are you going?” he asked, extending a hand towards me.
“You’ll see,” I replied, unable to bite my smile down.
It had been a while since I’d done this — it wasn’t something I usually enjoyed — but Iwantedto make Eli feel good. I wanted to make him feel like he made me feel. If I could reach even a fraction of that sensation, I’d be doing very well.
Tucking my fingers into his hemline, I started sliding his pants and boxers down, abandoning them once I’d gotten halfway down his thighs. We were still outside, after all, though Eli didn’t seem to mind — or even notice. He was watching me intensely now, his blue eyes fixed on me. A moment of insecurity flashed through me as I wrapped my slender fingers around his cock, feeling the curve of it in my hand, enjoying the weight. I didn’t get to handle him much last time, but just as I’d explored every inch of his torso earlier, I wanted to know every inch of his handsome dick.
And it was handsome. Maybe that was a wolf thing — I really had no idea what I’d been missing out on. Not only was it the biggest dick I’d ever handled, but it was elegantly curved, the dusky skin at the base smooth. He even smelled good, his musky scent of birch even stronger this close up.
Curious, I leaned forward, swiping my tongue over the head of his cock. Eli shivered minutely under my touch and I grinned, encouraged by the reaction. I dropped a gentle kiss against the sensitive skin, wrapping my fingers more securely around the base before I took him into my mouth, feeling the weight against my tongue. I hummed once and Eli groaned, dropping his head back against the grassy blanket spread beneath us.
It was magical.
I pressed my other hand against his hip, careful to breathe through my nose before I began to work my jaw, sliding up and down the length of his dick as he shuddered and squirmed. I pressed my nails into the skin of his hip, trying to prompt him to stay still — instead, he shuddered harder, awarding me with an open-mouthed groan.
I groaned in response, my wolf pressing against me frantically. She wanted to get even closer, and I didn’t blame her. The arousal in my gut had become a raging inferno, and I was sure my panties were soaked through at this point. Every time he squirmed, I did, too — but I could get mine soon. I was going to make him come. I wanted him to feel like the only other person on earth.
“Iris,” he huffed breathlessly. He reached one hand down and wrapped his fingers into my dark hair, tugging at me. Guiding me.
My heart jumped. My pussy throbbed. I knew he was close. Hell, I was close, and no one had touched me. I just had to — I just had to—
“Eli…”
He tugged on my hair again and I gasped, my head jerking upwards at the sharp prickle in my scalp. “Good girl,” he panted, just as breathless. “So fucking good for me.”
I didn’t need anyone’s approval, but his words still made my heart flip over in my chest. I didn’t think it was possible for me to get any wetter, and yet…
I couldn’t take it anymore. I was trying to tease him, but I was teasing myself just as much. I pulled away with a wet pop, giving him a squeeze before finally undressing myself as quickly as possible. This hadn’t been my original plan, but I didn’t care anymore. I could still get Eli off — I was just going to get myself off at the same time.
I pressed my fingers to his chest, pushing him back down as I straddled his hips. Eli gave me a questioning look and I winked, only taking a moment to steady myself before wrapping my fingers around his cock and sinking down with one fluid motion.
Eli groaned, bucking his hips. The sound made me moan and my pussy clench around his cock. Even Eli wasn’t immune, giving a little shiver before he dipped his head down, running his tongue up the length of my throat. It was such a simple touch, but it sent fireworks exploding across my vision. I didn’t even realize a noise had escaped my lips until I heard Eli rumbling back, shifting his head just enough to nuzzle at my cheek. I could feel the first hints of stubble on his chin scrape against my skin, and I shivered.
My wolf did, too. She always appreciated Eli’s attention, but her whining had grown in intensity. Her claws were practically kneading the ground, and she clearly wantedsomething,but I was so focused on Eli, I couldn’t consider what it was she was trying to get me to do.
It turned out she had the same idea as the alpha crowding against me. He nudged my jaw with his nose and I instinctively lifted my chin up. He ran his tongue along my windpipe again before he began to lay kisses across the tender skin there, pausing when he reached the junction of shoulder and neck. Eli ran his teeth over the flesh there, pausing for a moment to pull back. I couldn’t help but whimper at the loss of contact.
“Can I?” he murmured gently, his eyes searching my face.
I blinked, trying to claw back some semblance of sense. It took me a moment to realize he was asking for my permission, much less what he was asking permissionfor.
“Oh,” I gasped, my eyes widening as reality sunk in. He wanted to bite me. He wanted to mark me…no, he wanted toclaimme. My entire body shook and my wolf whined more insistently, practically dancing with delight.Thatwas exactly what she’d wanted.
Eli laughed gently, nuzzling my cheek again. He gave me another nipping kiss, but nothing more. “That wasn’t an answer,” he prompted softly, running his teeth over my earlobe. “I won’t if you don’t—”
“No!” I said, tipping my head to meet his lips. I reached up suddenly, digging my fingers into his scalp and dragging him into a fierce kiss. “Don’t even say that,” I growled, clenching down on him just to make my point. Eli moaned and squirmed above me. “Do it. I want you to do it.”
Eli was grinning as he finally broke the kiss, his chest rising and falling a little more rapidly. “Dowhat, Iris?” he asked, eyes sparkling with mischief.
I growled, jerking my chin back up to reveal my neck again. “I want you to bite me. I want you to mark me, alpha.”
His eyes flashed, and that familiar shade of red began to bleed into the blue as he leaned in, tongue running over his teeth before he—
I suckedin a sharp breath as my eyes snapped open. I wasn’t lying on a bed of grass; I was lying on a tattered blanket, the only thing between me and the tile floor.
I could barely remember returning to my cell…but I was definitely in a cell, and not in the Texas wilderness. I was alone. Eli was nowhere to be seen. When I reached up to touch my neck, the onlywoundthere was the one the silver collar was searing into my skin.
