Stunner (Alexa O'Brien, Huntress 0.75)(2)

Raoul nuzzled me, rubbing his furry face along mine. I leaned into his touch, seeking comfort in it. He shifted to human form fast and knelt before me. I followed his lead so that we both sat in the grass facing one another.

I wasn’t prepared for how fast he grabbed me, pulling me close and crushing his lips to mine. The scent of him overwhelmed me, wrapping me in his musky, masculine aroma.

My mighty Alpha wolf. Oh, how I wanted him. I threw my arms around his neck, burying my hands in his long silky locks. He forced his tongue into my mouth with an aggression that shocked me with delight. When Raoul wanted something, he didn’t ask. He took it. And I was more than willing to let him.

“You can’t hide from me, Alexa.” His whispered words were a growl in my ear. “If you think avoiding a pack run is going to do anything but provoke me, you’re dead wrong.”

“I didn’t … I mean, I wasn’t trying to avoid you. I just wanted to run alone.” I gasped when he bit at my neck with fangs bared. The pain sent a jolt of pleasure throughout my entire body. Raoul forced me back so that I lay beneath him on the ground. Random bits of twig and pine needles dug into my back but I barely noticed when he bit harder.

Sliding a hand down my body, he stroked between my legs ever so gently. He bent to capture one of my ni**les in his mouth. The hot, wet sensation of his mouth and tongue coaxed a moan from me.

“You want me. I know you do. Tell me how bad you want me.” Raoul’s demand was as dominant as his touch. His husky voice and the words he spoke had my whole body thrumming with desire.

His hair was soft and silky against my bare skin. I reached to run my hands down his firmly muscled back. “I do want you, Raoul. I need to feel you inside me.”

He chuckled, a sound that stirred the embers of the growing fire inside me. “Tell me what I want to hear. Tell me that you’re mine.”

I writhed beneath him and he stilled me by repositioning his weight atop me. “I’m yours,” I gasped, straining against him. “You know I am.”

I reached down between us, wanting to touch him. He moved so that I couldn’t. It wasn’t part of his game this time. Raoul was lost in his domination of me. He was the Alpha male and I was his submissive female.

He hungered for control, rarely giving it up. The wolf was wild within him, seeking only to take me and make me his. Like I had so many times before, I gave myself to him completely. Was it foolish? Perhaps. But it felt so right.

I growled with impatience. I was ready for him at the slightest touch. His teasing tongue traced a wet line down my stomach. My fingers tightened in his hair but he didn’t seem to mind.

“Please,” I heard myself beg. “Now. I need you now.”

Raoul ignored my pleas. Instead of responding to my request, he forced my legs open wide and wasted no time in burying his face between them with raw animal aggression. The instant sensations swarmed my brain, growing quickly agonizing in the most beautiful way. It was too much yet it also wasn’t enough. I wanted him inside me.

The moist touch of his tongue was mind shattering. I cried out when his hands slid beneath me, lifting my hips to give him better access. The sounds and smells of the night heightened my pleasure.

I didn’t give any thought to such things like the fact that the others could come racing back at any time. All I cared about was that he claimed me the way I desperately needed him to.

A howl broke from me when the onslaught of sensation became too much. Climax crashed over me with a heady rush. My breath came in pants and I opened my mouth to beg him again to take me but he was already moving to do so.

Raoul knelt between my legs, thrusting hard and fast. Having him fill me was what I’d been aching for. My heart raced and I threw my head back, looking up at the stars far overhead.

Surreal. That was the only word that could accurately describe what it felt like to have Raoul buried within me as we moved together beneath the expanse of the night sky. His thrusts were rough, his body demanding of mine. I wanted to answer the call of his wolf, to be all that he wanted.

“Look at me,” he growled, drawing my focus to him. His eyes were all wolf, frightening with their predatory glow. I knew mine looked the same.

With a smooth maneuver, Raoul flipped us over so that I sat atop him instead. Our rhythm momentarily faltered but he gripped my hips with both hands and pulled me down at the same moment that he thrust up. It was pure ecstasy.

A snarl erupted from between my lips and I flashed fangs at him. He smirked, completely self satisfied. The masculine yet wolfy scent of him filled my nostrils. I breathed it in deep, wishing to savor it forever. Raoul’s smell was intoxicating. That alone could bring me to my knees with desire for him. I would have closed my eyes and let that scent wash over me but he insisted that I meet his heavy gaze.

I couldn’t have denied him if I wanted to. I adored this man. He was everything to me.

Our bodies moved as one, united by our common bond as wolves and two passionate living beings. Many things united Raoul and I but love wasn’t one of them. Not anymore. Clearly, there was a certain affection we shared for one another. I may have called it love during times such as these. It wasn’t though. Whatever it was, it was powerful and I was certain, everlasting.

Raoul moaned, pulling me down so that my br**sts were pressed to his chest. He bit at my lower lip and I trembled in his arms.

It was as I spiraled headlong into that moment of overwhelming sensation that I felt it. Though I couldn’t detect the scent of anyone around, I could feel his energy. Another wolf had come upon us.
