Cole's Redemption (Alpha Pack #5)(28)

Glancing at her, he nodded and graced her with a big smile. “I can. I wasn’t going to say anything yet because I was afraid it might not be permanent, but if you noticed, maybe it’s real. I was thinking it might have something to do with you being a born shifter. I think the bond had a good physical effect on me.”

“I hope so. I’d like nothing better than if our bond healed you.”

“You mean that.” It wasn’t a question.

“I do.”

He drove until they came to a side road leading into the forest, a county road not well traveled from the looks of it. The truck bumped along for a few minutes, and he finally turned off onto a narrow lane that was little more than a dirt path. At the end, the lane became a pretty meadow with a terrific view of the snow-capped peaks of the Rockies and the Shoshone below.

“Gorgeous,” she breathed.

“There are lots of parking spots around—not that I’ve brought women to them often. I mean rarely ever.” His cheeks colored.

“Maybe you’d better stop that line of bull while you’re ahead. The part about there not being many, that is.”

“There haven’t!”

“If you say so.”

“Have you ever been parking?” he countered.

“I plead the Fifth.”

“Sure you do. Thought so.”

This time, she silenced him by initiating the kiss. His mouth was glorious, just firm enough, made for kissing. He devoured her mouth, slipping his tongue inside, stroking everywhere. Driving her crazy. She could imagine how good that would feel laving her elsewhere.

“Even last night seems like it’s been too long,” she murmured. “I need.”

“For me too. Let me taste you?”

“Please.”

Lifting her shirt, he reached for the front clasp of her bra. Flicked it open and let her br**sts spill free. From that alone, her sex was throbbing. Born shifters were highly sexual creatures, and she was glad Zan was, too. They weren’t shy about their bodies, especially not once they found their mates.

They might not know each other well—but that wouldn’t stop them from burning up the sheets.

Bending, he took a nipple in his mouth and sucked it to a tight point. Little shocks went through her as he repeated the attention on the other nipple. Then switched again. Just when she thought she’d go mad from want, he turned his focus to getting her jeans unzipped and pulled to her hips. Slipping a hand in front, he palmed the pale, silky curls.

“Mmm. I couldn’t tell what you were like here, last night, in your half form. Just the way I like it—a trimmed triangle but bare where it counts.”

She loved the way a bare sex heightened pleasure and was glad he found this pleasing. Her legs spread for him, and he delved between them, stroking her clit and diving one finger into her channel.

“So good.”

“Let’s get these off, baby. I want you to ride me.”

Getting off her jeans inside a truck wasn’t easy, but at least it was a big cab. In short order, she was naked from the waist down, and he was the same. She stared at his lean, powerful thighs. And the trimmed bush with the c**k jutting proudly from the curls like an exclamation point. It was at least eight inches, flushed red and purple, and gorgeous. Heavy balls were nestled underneath, resting on the leather seats.

Reclining his driver’s seat, he gestured to his lap. “Climb aboard, sweetheart. Take me for a ride.”

“Gladly.”

Moving over, she straddled him. Positioned the head of his c**k at the entrance between her folds. Gradually, she sank down, adjusting every couple of inches for his width. She’d never felt so stretched, so full. Moments later, he was buried deep inside her, to the hilt. There had never been anything as good as this connection. The thread of their bond glowed, almost in approval.

“Fuck me, baby,” he begged hoarsely.

She began to pump on his length. Up and down, spreading her cream on his cock. Loving his moans and her own as she added her sounds of pleasure to his. All too soon, a familiar quickening began in her sex. The throbbing heat became too much, and she shouted her climax, channel spasming around his length.

This triggered his release, and he joined her, his big hands spanned around her waist, helping her ride him, slamming her onto his cock. When he was spent, he kissed her lips and held her on him for a long moment.

He groaned. “I suppose we should get back to reality.”

“Why?”

“Good point. But I’m afraid people would miss us, and they’d find us stuck together, expired from multiple orgasms.”

Laughing, she climbed from his lap. She was messy and yanked on her clothing quickly to avoid screwing up his nice seats. He did the same, then kissed her once more for good measure.

Selene found herself wishing they could just drive away. Leave her father and the Alpha Pack behind and forget about all of it. But she’d promised to try to give this a chance, and she would.

As she’d said, she was a wolf of her word. And there were worse fates than spending times like this with Zander Cole.

Now the test would begin.

Zan drove them back to the compound, knowing life around there was truly about to change. For himself, at least. He knew the others were going to be wary of his mate at first. Some, like Ryon and Aric, might even be a bit hostile.
