Alpha Wolf_A Paranormal Shifter Romance Page 10

  Then they heard a snarl off in the distance and Olivia’s warning call.

  Kai howled and took off towards the sound. He was ready to end this and keep his territory, his pack, and his mate safe.

  Because Amelia deserved to be safe, and he would do everything in his power to make sure no danger ever came close to her.

  Chapter Eighteen

  Amelia

  The first day at Kai’s cabin had been perfect. She’d woken up when he came back from outside, completely naked. It was strange and Amelia had no idea what he could possibly be doing outside in the freezing cold night, naked.

  She didn’t bother asking him about it. Something told her whatever secret he was going to tell her that night would explain everything. Amelia was a little anxious, but seriously, how bad could it be?

  The barbecue made her more nervous. No one had arrived yet and Bonnie was only a few hours out.

  When she’d woken up in the boathouse that morning Kai had been sweet and attentive. He made coffee and a small breakfast, and then they were on the ATV again. An entire herd of elk had ambled by and Kai explained there were a lot of them on the property. It was hard to believe he owned an entire forest with wild animals on it.

  After they got back to his main cabin Amelia felt shy. “I need to shower,” she told him.

  Kai’s dark brown eyes ate her alive. “Would you like company?”

  She nodded. God, yes she wanted his company.

  The grin on his face was enough to set her blood on fire. Amelia followed him back into the main house. He kept the doors unlocked, which was absolutely nuts to her. Then Kai chased her up the stairs and into the master bedroom. Amelia was breathless and laughing when she jumped on the bed.

  He pounced and yanked her sweaters off. Then Kai held her face like she was made of glass. Each sweet, soft kiss made her melt into him. Amelia couldn’t get his clothes off fast enough. Never had she wanted someone so much and it didn’t seem to matter how often they had sex. They’d gone three rounds the day before. She just couldn’t get enough of him.

  Amelia thought she’d get over it at some point, but Kai was like an actual drug. The more she had him, the more she wanted him.

  A small bite on his pec and she slid off the bed. Amelia wiggled out of her pants and padded to the bathroom. The tub looked wonderful, but she really needed to get clean. Amelia turned the shower on and steam filled the bathroom.

  Kai came up behind her, deliciously naked. He ran his hands all over her, grabbing her ass and kissing her neck. Amelia leaned back into him and his hand reached around to touch her exactly where she needed. He was so good with his hands and his tongue. Kai was God’s gift to women.

  Amelia wrapped an arm around his neck and parted her thighs to give him better access. He made her feel sexy, and the way he worshipped her body…she felt like a goddess. Kai stepped forward and got them both into the shower. The hot spray felt delicious against her skin.

  His entire bathroom was set up like a spa, so the shower was spacious and the showerhead large enough to cover the both of them. It took nothing at all for him to turn her around and pick her up. Amelia wrapped her legs around his waist and gasped when his huge cock slid inside her so easily, filling her and stretching her. Kai watched her reaction and it felt intimate and sexy all at the same time.

  “You like to watch me,” Amelia stated, riding him slowly while he held up all her weight with just his arms. He was so fucking strong and gorgeous.

  “I do,” he said, kissing her lips in time with each stroke. The way he stretched her, she was going to lose her mind. “I love seeing how I make you feel and the way you open up to me. I can’t get enough of you, Amelia.”

  Kai yanked her against him hard and she couldn’t help the gasp at the sudden sensation. He took control and pounded into her, hitting her clit at the same time and Amelia could barely do more than hold on. God, she loved him and the way he held her when they had sex.

  “Kai,” she gasped, feeling the pleasure peak when he was full hilt once more. The spark when he bottomed out set her on fire and she screamed as the orgasm rocked through her.

  “Yes, baby, I want it all.” Kai kissed her throat and her neck until she was putty in his arms.

  Without his ridiculous strength she would have slid to the floor. One more stroke and his thighs shuddered and he groaned as he climaxed. It made her orgasm last forever to feel him pulse inside her.

  “Kai…” Amelia wanted to tell him how she felt, but it still felt crazy. “I think I’m falling for you,” she whispered.

  He set her down, arms around her waist while her legs were still unsteady. Kai kissed her hard and long. His tongue was in her mouth and it played with hers. The taste of him was spice and winter. Amelia wrapped her hands in his hair and kissed him back, hard. She nipped and then licked his bottom lip.

  He was possessive and demanding. Amelia felt ready to go all over again. Kai was already hard again, she could feel him against her stomach and she wanted it bad. She turned around and placed her hands on the tile wall.

  “Take me,” she demanded.

  The molten silver of his eyes told her everything she could possibly want to know. Kai was hers.

  He murmured sweet words and then placed his cock to her pussy, kneading her ass when he pushed inside her. Amelia threw her head back and groaned. God, he was so big. At first he was slow, but she pushed back into him, demanding more.

  “Harder,” she told him.

  Kai thrust into her and reached around, swirling his fingers around her clit and Amelia clenched around him. The pleasure built hard and fast, still so sensitive from the previous orgasm. Right as she was about to peak she looked back and held his gaze. “Come for me,” she demanded.

  Whether it was the way she took control or he was really that skilled, Kai roared her name as he thrust into her hard one last time and she exploded around him. His fingers, the look of his raw power as he came…Amelia went weak in his hands and the orgasm made her vision go black for a moment.

  “I’m falling for you too,” he whispered once the shaking and pulsing eased.

  When she’d regained some of her senses, Kai was rubbing her back and she thought she’d imagined his words. Then he slipped out of her and without a word he poured some soap on a loofah and started washing her skin.

  “I’ve never met anyone like you,” Kai said with a rueful smile. “You’re much more dominant than you let on.”

  Amelia smiled and took the loofah from him. She knelt down and started from the tips of his toes. It gave her the opportunity to adore each and every muscle of his, the very same ones that held and supported her with such loving compassion. When she got to his cock she gave it a little lick and he shuddered at her touch.

  “I just know what I like,” she admitted with a shrug. It was easy when Kai did everything right. Normally sex had awkward moments. There were times when the other party had no clue what they were doing.

  But Kai knew exactly what to do and how to give her the most pleasure she’d ever received in her life.

  Amelia paid careful attention to each of his scars and when she got to his shoulders his eyes were back to his normal dark brown. She went up on tiptoe and kissed his nose.

  Kai grinned and wrapped his arms around her. “You’re really something special, Amelia. Don’t ever forget that.”

  It was strange to hear someone call her special. But he made it seem normal, as though compliments should be free and without requiring criticism to be paired with it. Her parents had never trusted her, had always treated her like some wild thing that needed to be constantly controlled – sure she’d end up a druggie or knocked up at sixteen. A family wasn’t supposed to be that way.

  She hadn’t even met Kai’s adopted family yet, but the way he talked about them and that he took care of them, giving them space on his property…family was supposed to take care of each other – like Bonnie did. Not shrug and tell her she was on her own because she’d made a mistake so she should suffer for it.

  Kai was slowly opening her eyes to the truth, showing her with actions not just words. She’d never seen a functional, healthy family before.

  Amelia pulled back and looked into his eyes. Kai was more than just some guy she was dating, but it was difficult to explain their progression after only a week. They went from a one-night stand to head over heels. Well…at least she was.

  “You scare me,” she finally admitted, bending down to grab the shampoo. Amelia scrubbed her hair, avoiding his gaze. It was difficult not to meet his eyes though. Kai practically took up the entire shower with his massive shoulders and eight-pack.

  She licked her lips nervously when he didn’t say anything. Instead she felt his hands in her hair and she let him take over. Amelia hadn’t wanted to tell him she was afraid, but this was going too fast not to be honest and upfront. Yes, she had feelings but she wasn’t sure if she could trust them.

  “Why do I scare you?” Kai asked, rinsing her hair with a professional touch.

  Amelia shrugged. It was difficult for her to say in so many words without telling him everything. “This is just…more intense than I anticipated. But I’ve never been happier,” she promised, turning to rest her head on his chest.

  The beat of his heart soothed her and once again she marveled at how safe she felt in his arms. Kai would never hurt her, physically or emotionally. She just knew, and it settled a part of her soul that had been raw and painful ever since David and the entire aftermath.

  Amelia wouldn’t let her past rule her future anymore.

  Chapter Nineteen

  Kai

  There was something Amelia wasn’t telling him, but he had an idea he knew what it was. She had to be feeling the effect of their mate bond. Amelia could leave, but she would always feel the pain of their separation. Kai wished there was more of a choice in the matter, but this feeling he had for her, the feelings he knew she had for him…

  He wouldn’t give it up for the world.

  They needed to talk about the bond, because he knew Amelia felt it too. It was why she was so afraid. Instinctually she knew her feelings were real, but the human mind sometimes had a hard time accepting it. Kai would ease any fear she had.

  “You’re it for me, Amelia,” he told her, making sure to be gentle as he smoothed conditioner into her gorgeous red hair. It was a risk to be so serious so soon with someone who didn’t understand the mate bond. But she needed to know he wasn’t going anywhere. “Anything and everything you need I will be there for. I’ll never leave you, or cheat, or convince you to do anything you don’t want to do.”

  When her eyes opened, they were wide and shocked. The green was so vibrant against her milky white skin. Kai couldn’t get enough of her. He could stare at her all day if she let him.

  “I’m it?” she clarified.

  “Yup.” Kai nodded and rinsed the conditioner out of her hair. “I’ve never felt this way about anyone before, and I intend to do anything and everything I can to keep you. I’ll even battle all your evil exes,” he said with a wink.

  She laughed. “You’re such a nerd.”

  “Right again.” Kai kissed her softly and instantly he felt that need rise up again. Her breasts were perfect and round. They filled his hands when he cupped them, teasing the nipples.

  “Stop,” she gasped. “If you don’t stop I’m going to want you again.”

  Those words instantly made his dick harden. It was still only half-hard, but his mate made him ready at a moment’s notice. Amelia was pure sexual magic. Kai didn’t want to stop; he wanted to make her come again just so he could hear her say his name with that little sigh. Those noises she made – his dick got even harder and he bent down to nibble one of her peaked nipples.

  Amelia clutched onto his shoulders. Her desire was the sweetest scent he’d ever come across and Kai was quickly becoming addicted.

  “If you don’t stop, nothing will be ready for the barbecue,” she tried to sound all stern, but it only made him want her more.

  Kai turned off the water and picked her tiny ass up, throwing her over one shoulder. Amelia squealed as he carried her back to the bedroom. Kai tossed her on the bed and before she could move he had her legs parted and his thumbs rubbing small circles on her inner thighs. “Are you sure you want me to stop?” he asked.

  His wolf wanted to mark her. The more Amelia smelled like him the better. She was his and he wanted the whole damn world to know. Kai wanted everyone to see how happy she was, the smiles she’d begun to give more freely, and the fun side of his mate. The part that was gentle, sweet, and caring if a bit brusque.

  “Maybe I do,” she said, watching him with wide eyes and lips slightly parted.

  Those full lips of hers were nothing but sin. They’d wrapped around his cock and she’d looked so fucking perfect on her knees, but Kai wanted to taste her again. Amelia’s legs quivered when he moved his hands up closer to her pussy. “I can stop at any time, darling. Just tell me you don’t want this.”

  Kai knelt between her legs and yanked her forward so her pussy was exactly where he wanted it. One long lick and she tasted like heaven. The sweet desire and the natural taste of her…Kai needed more. He placed his mouth over her clit and sucked gently, using his tongue to part her lips. The way she bucked into his mouth, clutching the bed sheets and those damn noises she made.

  He growled with pleasure and sucked and licked mercilessly until she was shaking and begging. Kai straightened and pressed the head of his dick to her pussy. “Do you want this, or do you want me to stop?” he asked, practically purring when she looked up at him with wild, lust-filled eyes.

  “If you stop I’ll strangle you,” she growled.

  Kai grinned and thrust into her. She was hot and silky and so ready. “We only have a few minutes, you better hurry.”

  Amelia glared up at him and he slid out slowly. Her eyes rolled back and her sigh of pleasure was everything. Kai rubbed against her clit every time he pounded into her. He simply couldn’t look away from her.

  His mate was beautiful. She was the most precious thing in his life. When she said his name, barely more than a gasp, he came inside her. God, he was going to be tired later, but it was worth every minute he got to spend with her, loving her.

  Kai kissed her swollen lips and slid out. He grabbed a washcloth and made sure the water was warm. It only took a few seconds to clean them both up, but he was thorough. Amelia rolled over with a groan and closed her eyes.

  “You are going to kill me, Kai,” she murmured into the pillow.

  He chuckled and slapped her ass. There was a knock on the front door and he grabbed his leather, flannel-lined pants. They kept him warm without too many layers. It took two seconds to hop into them and Amelia watched him with half-lidded eyes.

  “Definitely a tease, too,” she said.

  It looked like she had every intention of falling asleep. “Bonnie is here,” he told her. “I’m going to let her in.”

  “Bonnie is never on time,” she murmured. “I don’t believe you.”

  Kai chuckled. His poor mate only had human ears. He grabbed a shirt from the dresser and put it on as he walked to the front door. Bonnie knocked again. He knew it was her and not one of his pack mates. Any one of them would have just walked right in.

  “Hello Bonnie,” he said with a grin.

  The female jumped when he opened the door and he could smell her nervous fear. It was probably left over from the drive if she was anything like his mate. Most people hated driving on the road to his property in the winter.

  “Where’s Amelia?” she demanded.

  “Don’t worry, I didn’t wear her skin,” Kai said with a wink. He stepped aside to let her in, and heard a shriek come from his mate deeper in the house. She must have finally heard her friend.

  This girl before him was tall. She pushed by, and she was only a few inches shorter than he was. Kai watched as she inspected the place with a professional eye. Bonnie was gorgeous, but she couldn’t hold a candle to Amelia’s fiery red hair and gorgeous green eyes.

  This girl had black hair and bright blue eyes. Something about her told Kai she would be trouble. He had five unmated, single wolves. With a sigh he jerked his head toward the stairs. “She’s up there. Didn’t believe me when I said you were here, something about never being on time?” he teased.

  Bonnie glared and stripped off her boots and coat before leaving without another word. Kai liked her already. She was protective of Amelia and he appreciated that. Kai went to the laundry room and grabbed his socks and shoes. The thermal shirt would be enough.

  The phone on the counter rang and Kai grabbed it on the second ring. “Shane, tell me you got the meat?”

  “Yeah, I dressed the second elk we brought down last night. It’s in my truck. Come out and help me.”

  Kai ended the call and tossed the phone on the counter. Shane didn’t need help bringing it in. The guy had something to say he didn’t want the humans overhearing.

  It was cold outside but the sun was high and the sky cloudless. He jogged down the stairs and went around Shane’s massive black truck. His Second already had the tailgate down and the huge elk should easily feed the eight of them.

  Shane growled and Kai knew something had gone down already. “That black-haired harpy is mine,” his Second said. “I make my official claim.”

  Kai heaved the elk out of the truck and carried it up the stairs. “I’ll text the others,” Kai promised. “Alpha’s decree. But she denies you and the others get their chance.”

  Shane nodded with an entire case of red wine in his arms. “Got it, Alpha.”

  Kai stopped before the door and glanced back at Shane. “I want everyone on high alert today. That wolf giving us the slip again last night means he’s still out there. He’s injured, and dangerous.”
