Nathan, the pack leader of the werewolves sired by Fenris, made his way stealthily through the stand of trees that bordered the back of the warriors' manor.
Night had started to darken the sky. The last time he'd been here, five months earlier, he and some of his pack had had a confrontation with the warriors. Nathan had suffered a loss, but he'd thought he'd gained a valuable tool to help bring down his enemy during the fight. He'd had Raed's mate, had even bitten her. With that bite, he'd thought she would have turned and instinctively found her way to their den before the next full moon, like the rest of the newly turned had done. That never happened.
Daring to stand close to the border where the trees ended, Nathan gazed at the large manor. He needed to see what had happened to Raed's mate. He didn't think the warrior would have killed her. His kind was far too noble to do anything like that.
His gaze shot to the back door of the manor when it opened and a woman stepped outside. It was Raed's mate. With the wind blowing across the property toward him, he sniffed the air. He frowned when he picked out the woman's scent. She didn't have the smell of his pack, as all members did. She didn't even have the scent of a werewolf, but something about her scent reminded him of the immortal warriors' scent.
And it wasn't because she was mated to one. The warriors' scent was incorporated into her own.
Nathan's eyes narrowed when he noticed the slight swelling of her belly under her shirt. She was pregnant. Before he thought about it, he took a step from the cover of the trees, intent on crossing onto the grassy garden, but he came up short. Something stopped him. Almost as if he'd run into an invisible wall. He moved farther down the border and met with the same barrier. Something was keeping him out. He knew of only one entity strong enough to keep his kind off the warriors' property—their Anglo-Saxon god, Tiw.
Unable to do anything more—but at least he'd found his answers—Nathan moved back into the trees. Right then, Raed came outside and joined his mate. The woman was no longer a viable option. Nathan would have to find another way to strike against the warriors.
The night's hunting proved to be quiet for Algar. He came across none of his prey, which didn't surprise him much. He and his fellow warriors usually found themselves taking down more prey during a full moon when newly turned shifted to werewolf form for the first time. The night of the full moon was three weeks away.
Algar pulled out his cell phone and dialed Raed.
"I'm going to have an early night. Not much prey moving tonight," he said when Raed picked up.
Raed chuckled. "You want to go be with Kamryn."
When Raed had come home from shopping, Lexi had filled him in on Algar's situation before Algar got a chance to talk to him. "If it was a full moon, you know I wouldn't be calling it quits so early."
"Relax, Algar. I remember what it was like when I first met Lexi. Besides, Wulfric and Dolf will cover for you."
That was true. Wulfric and Dolf, two of the other warriors, enjoyed hunting werewolves more than the rest of them did. During the night of a full moon, they competed with each other to see who could bring down more prey.
"Yeah, they would find it no hardship. Plus, with Garrick and Brand out, there are enough of us still hunting."
"So I guess I shouldn't expect to see you at the manor any earlier than sometime tomorrow."
"That's if everything goes all right with Kamryn."
"I'll leave my cell on just in case."
"Thanks. Have a good night."
Ending the call, Algar snapped his phone closed and put it back in his jacket pocket. Now able to go to Kamryn, he didn't take his time returning to where he'd left his car parked. With not much traffic this time of night, he made good time reaching the hotel. His libido kicked into high gear when he stepped inside the empty elevator and rode it to Kamryn's floor.
At her room's door, he quietly knocked so as not to disturb other hotel patrons who surely were sleeping. His heart beat faster when he heard Kamryn moving on the other side of the door. She opened it with a smile and stepped aside for him to enter.
No sooner had she closed the door behind him and turned the lock did he sweep her up into his arms and bring his mouth over hers. While he devoured her mouth, he lifted her and carried her toward the bed. Kamryn put her arms around his neck and kissed him back hungrily.
At the bed, Algar let her slide slowly down his body until she stood on her own.
He lifted his head but kept her wrapped in his arms. "All I could think about all night was seeing you again."
Kamryn pressed closer, flattening her breasts against his chest. "I couldn't stop thinking about you, either."
Algar moaned when she brushed her hip along his erection. "I want you, Kamryn."
She met his gaze, biting her bottom lip. "Then take me."
With a groan, Algar took her lips in a fiery kiss. He shucked off his jacket and kicked out of his shoes. He gathered Kamryn close once again. Slanting his mouth over her lips, he pushed his tongue inside and used it to stroke hers. The feel of her body pressed to his, rubbing against him while she eagerly returned his kiss, had his arousal soaring. He pushed back the worries about what would happen if he made love to her and rode the pleasurable sensations that washed over him.
Aching for her, his cock so hard he was surprised he hadn't burst the zipper on his jeans, he lifted her onto the bed. Kamryn threaded her fingers in his hair at the back of his neck as he settled between her legs. Through their clothes, he rocked his hard cock against her pussy. It felt good, but it wasn't enough. He wanted to feel her bare skin against his.
He yanked at her top, taking it and her bra off. With her breasts now bared, he covered one and circled his tongue around the taut nipple. Kamryn gasped and arched her back in response. He took the tight little bud between his teeth, gently tugging on it before he sucked it into his mouth.
As he tasted her flesh, Algar shifted to Kamryn's side. He opened her jeans and shoved a hand down the front of her panties. When he encountered her clit, he circled it with a finger. With a moan, she spread her legs wider. He dipped his finger inside her already wet pussy and brought some of that moisture up to rub on her clit. Her hips jerked.
"More," she panted. "Touch me more, Algar."
Abandoning one breast, he rubbed his cheek against the other. "You're so wet. It makes my cock ache to be buried inside you."
"Yes," she moaned.
"Not yet."
He slipped a finger inside her slick pussy, moving it in and out. "Is this what you want?"
"Ah . . . Yes."
Algar added a second finger to the first. He looked up to find Kamryn had her eyes shut. Her kiss-swollen lips parted while she breathed at a rapid pace. A slight blush colored her cheeks. He had never seen a more beautiful sight. His cock hardened even more, making the fit of his jeans uncomfortable.
Algar removed his hand from her pants, pushed them down and off along with her panties. He dragged his gaze down the length of her body. Kamryn was curvy in all the right places. He couldn't wait to get inside her, to hear her cry out his name while lost in her climax.
With her eyelids at half-mast, she reached for his t-shirt. "Take your clothes off, Algar. I want to touch you."
He got off the bed. Standing with his gaze on her face, he stripped out of his shirt then reached for the button on his jeans. Kamryn licked her lips when he slowly undid the zipper and pushed his pants down his legs. She sucked in a breath, her gaze focused on his erection. He kicked his jeans away, took his cock in his hand, and pumped it once along his full length. Her eyes followed his movement.
She reached for him. He climbed back on the bed to lie on his side next to her.
She turned and put her hands on his chest, gently pushing him onto his back.
"Now I get to stroke every inch of your body," she said, her voice husky.
"I’m all yours."
Kamryn moved to straddle his thighs and placed feather-light kisses across his chest, working her way down. She flicked her tongue against each of his flat nipples before she continued downward to his abs. His heart thundered while he watched her explore him with her lips and tongue.
When she reached his cock, he held his breath, waiting in anticipation for her to touch him. The air in his lungs punched out of him with a moan at the feel of her fingers running along the length of his shaft before she circled the end. Taking a firm hold of him at the base, she licked off a bead of pre-cum that had appeared on the very tip.
She used her other hand to cup his balls then opened her mouth and took as much of his cock inside that she could manage. Algar, awash in the pleasurable sensation of her sucking on his cock, let his head fall back on the mattress and closed his eyes when they turned. The tips of his fingers burned, his claws threatening to burst through his skin.
When Kamryn sucked on him harder, pumping her hand up and down the part of his shaft she couldn't take in her mouth, he could no longer hold his claws back. To hide them, he balled his hands into fists at his sides. An animalistic growl pushed out of him before he could stop it.
He opened his eyes to mere slits to watch Kamryn give his cock one last lick. She released him then moved up his body, placing her hands flat on his chest. She lowered her pussy against his shaft and rubbed herself up and down his full length, coating him with her juices. His claws bit into his palms as he squeezed his fists tighter. While she continued to tease them both this way, he arched his back, his body begging her to take his cock.
Algar reached up and plucked at one of Kamryn's taut nipples, careful not to scrape her skin with his claws. "Ride me," he said, his voice rough.
Kamryn tilted her hips and took the head of his cock inside. Slowly, bit by bit, she worked him inside her until he was sheathed to the hilt. He groaned at the sensation of her warm wetness closing around him, her inner walls gripping him tightly.
With her hands still on his chest and her eyes closed, she slid up and down his engorged cock. Her breasts bounced with her movements. Algar dropped his hands to her hips and lifted his head. The sight of his cock moving in and out of her body had him going even harder. His orgasm built inside him, but he wanted Kamryn to find her release first.
He carefully rubbed her clit as she rode him faster. Her whimpered moans filled his ears and her pussy clutched his cock harder. He lifted his hips from the bed, meeting each of her downward strokes. Then, with a loud moan, she started to come. Her pussy rhythmically clutched his shaft, forcing his own climax to roar to the surface.
Feeling his cock start to swell inside Kamryn, he surged up into a sitting position and wrapped his arms around her waist to hold her to him. He shouted his pleasure and his cock pulsed, filling her with his cum. His cock swelled even more until he was locked inside her. Another jet of sperm spurted deep inside her. He buried his face in her chest while he fought to get his wolf back under control. It didn't help that his sperm continued to shoot out of him at half-minute intervals.
When Kamryn didn't seem to react to what his body was doing, only wrapped her arms around his head, he hoped she'd give them some time. With his cock locking them together while he continued to come, he needed her to stay calm. Once he could free himself, then she could freak.
