She stirred beside him, her eyes fluttering open. “Hi.” Her gaze was shy and her cheeks turned a beguiling shade of pink.
“Good morning.” Joshua felt his cock stir yet again and barely stifled a groan. Alex was too sore after last night. Plus, if they didn’t show themselves soon, he had a feeling his soon-to-be father-in-law would be pounding on the front door.
Alex absently began to tease his chest with her short fingernails. Joshua closed his eyes and arched into her touch. Her hand moved lower, bumping against his erection. His eyes flew open and he swore when she wrapped her fingers around him. “It’s too soon. You’re sore.”
She batted her eyelashes playfully. “Not that sore.”
He growled and rolled out of bed, dragging her with him. Alex squealed and then laughed as he tossed her over his shoulder and carried her into the bathroom. She reached down and pinched his butt. Joshua was so surprised he almost dropped her.
Alex grabbed onto his flanks and gave a yell before dissolving into laughter again.
“Think that’s funny, do you?” he grumbled as he turned on the taps in the shower. She didn’t answer, but he could hear her snickering under her breath. Two could play this game. Sliding his hand up her thighs, he palmed one sweet cheek of her ass.
She stilled. “Joshua.” He could hear the nervous excitement in her voice.
“What?” he innocently asked as he caressed the other cheek before sliding his fingers into the crease of her behind. “You don’t like me touching your gorgeous butt?” He freed his fingers and gave her a smart smack on her butt. She jumped and began to squirm so he did it again.
“Let me down you big bully,” she grouched.
Joshua laughed and swung her around, planting a hard, quick kiss on her lips. Alex wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. He could see the pleasure in her eyes even as she groused. “You owe me for that.”
“Do I now?” He stepped beneath the spray with her still in his arms.
“Uh huh.” She nodded as she leaned down and grabbed the bar of soap and started to rub it over his shoulders.
All laughter fled as he stood there, absorbing her love and care as she washed him. Not since he was a very small child had anyone done anything like this for him. Oblivious to the emotions bubbling within him, Alex put the soap back on the ledge and ran her fingers through his hair. “I love your hair. Did I tell you that?” He shook his head, unable to speak past the lump in his throat. “Well, I do. It’s so thick and gorgeous.”
His cock was as hard as steel. He wanted Alex. Badly. The way she was touching him made him want to tip back his head and howl with pleasure. He needed to claim her. Again.
“Joshua.” She stilled as if suddenly sensing his change of mood. “What’s wrong?”
“I need you,” he ground out from between his clenched teeth. He was hanging on by a thread. Alex was warm and wet in his arms, her sweet scent drifting up to his nostrils. She was as aroused as he was.
Clasping his face in her hands, she leaned down until their noses were touching. “Then take me.”
He turned and lifted her higher as he pressed her back against the wall. She cried out and arched her back as it hit the cool tile. Joshua took advantage of her out-thrust breasts and lapped at one firm, juicy nipple.
Alex slid her fingers into his hair and fisted in it, holding him to her as he opened his mouth and took her inside. She tightened her legs around his waist as he suckled her.
“More,” she urged, gasping as he transferred his attention to her other breast. She squirmed, trying to get the head of his cock inside her. “Joshua.”
His name came out of her much like a wail. God, she’d never needed anything like she needed Joshua inside her. Now. After last night, she figured it would be quite some time before she’d feel this kind of arousal again.
All it had taken was one look.
His mood had changed swiftly from one of teasing to lustful in a heartbeat. Alex didn’t care that she was slightly sore after a night of intense lovemaking. His need awoke hers, stoking the flames within, making the heat burn in her veins.
She wiggled, trying to get closer to him. His erection was bumping against her sex, teasing her with each touch. Her folds were slick and swollen with need. Joshua tongued her turgid nipple and sucked it into his mouth. Heat flashed from her breast to her core.
Unable to stand it any longer, she tugged at his head. He released her nipple with a loud, wet pop. His eyes were the same color as rich, thick coffee as he leaned in closer, using his lower body to pin her against the wall. Water beat down on them, the bulk of it deflected by his broad back.
Keeping his gaze locked with hers, he reached between her legs and spread the folds of her sex wide. “You’re always hot and wet.” She could hear the pleasure in his voice.
She jerked when he slid one finger inside her. As much as she wanted him, there was no escaping the fact her sheath was swollen and tender after last night. He pulled his hand away from her and dropped his head on her shoulder. “Alex,” he began, but she stopped him.
“I want you.” Her nails dug into his thick shoulders as she levered herself over the tip of his shaft.
“Are you sure?” He raised his head and searched her face.
“Yes.”
He flexed his hips then, slowly burying his erection in her one inch at a time. He went slowly, giving her inner muscles a chance to relax and accept him. By the time he was seated to the hilt, she was panting hard and shivering. His cock filled her. His body surrounded her.
She could smell him on her skin, that unique scent of soap and musk and man. Her nose twitched as she caught the scent of something new. It was a deeper, richer smell, one that reached down inside her and excited her most primitive self. Wolf. Alex knew she was scenting his wolf and wondered if he could do the same with her.
“I need to fuck you.” His voice was low, guttural, as he sucked air into his lungs.
“Do it.” She used her grip on his flanks to lift herself up an inch before dropping back down.
Joshua’s control snapped. Grasping her ass in his hands, he began to thrust. Every time he pulled almost all the way out of her, Alex struggled to keep him locked inside her. When he thrust back in, she sighed with relief. They belonged together.
The pace quickened, their bodies moving in perfect synchronicity. All the hair on her nape stood on end. Her limbs felt heavy, yet energy thrummed through her. She was close. Could feel her orgasm gathering low in her belly.
As he continued to thrust, Joshua leaned down and nipped at the base of her neck. Alex screamed with pleasure. Her inner muscles contracted and liquid flooded her core. Her orgasm washed over her. Joshua jerked. Throwing back his head, he yelled her name as he came within her.
She wrapped her arms more securely around him, never wanting to let him go.
They stayed locked in each other’s arms until the water pouring down on them turned cool. She shivered. Joshua swore and slowly released her until she was standing on her own two feet. She leaned against the tiled wall for support as he adjusted the water temperature.
“I didn’t mean to do that.” He looked so aggravated she laughed.
He just stared at her and slowly a smile crossed his face.
“I’m not complaining,” she informed him. Reaching around him, she grabbed a washcloth and started scrubbing. “Well, I might complain about the cold shower, but not about what happened before that.”
Joshua gave a quick bark of laughter before grabbing the soap and making sure that every part of her was clean.
Later that night, Alex stood on the edge of the woods and shivered. The moon was almost full and the night was cool. Joshua stood behind her, his hands on her bare shoulders. “Take your time. There’s no rush.”
