“Please, Nick.”
“Do you need to come?”
“Yes.”
“Then play with your pussy. Let me feel you come, baby.”
She stroked her clit, whimpering at the merest touch. Three strokes over her nub had her screaming out her release.
“Fuck, that’s it. Come all over my cock.”
He fucked her hard, and Clara loved it. When he grunted she felt the pulse of his cock along with the heat of his cum. The sensation was entirely different from having him in her pussy.
“I think you’ve killed me,” he said, slumping over her body with his cock still inside her.
“This is all you.” She smiled loving his touch.
“I know. Come on, baby. It’s time for you to have a bath.”
Nick carried her into the bathroom. For the remainder of the night he took care of her, washing her body and providing her with every care possible.
Lying in his arms early the next morning after only an hour of sleep, Clara wondered if he was trying to get her out of his system. The collective of alphas could take her away, but she knew she wouldn’t let it happen. Nick was the love of her life, and she wasn’t going to let anyone take him away from her.
Chapter Thirteen
Three days later Nick was staring at his computer screen. Clara was at home after a marathon of sex. She was probably happy with the reprieve. His nerves were totally fried at what their future was going to be. Whatever happened was up to her.
He tried to focus on his work rather than on what his woman was going to do. The last three days he’d held back claiming her. The mating heat had been between them during most of their fuck fest, but he held it back. Nick didn’t want them to blame the mating or him for Clara staying with him.
In the space of one month he’d found his woman, hurt her, taken her, fallen in love with her, and was now on the verge of losing her. His parents were not lying when they said wolves moved fast, refusing to waste a single moment of life.
Leaning back, he turned his chair to look over city life. When he was first outlawed he hated the city, but then he had come to love it. The hustle and bustle of activity stopped him from thinking about the pain of everything he lost. Looking over the city he couldn’t stop feeling the pain of what he faced later today.
The door of his office opening forced him to turn. He saw Charles, one of the leaders of the collective of alphas.
“Have you gone to see her yet?” Nick asked. When he woke up this morning he felt today was the day they’d come for her.
“No, we’re getting ready to go and see her. The other alphas are waiting for me downstairs.” Charles closed the door, striding forward to take a seat in front of him.
“Why have you come to see me?” Nick shuffled some files, trying to keep himself busy. This man had never terrified him in all the years of being an alpha for a pack. Now, he felt real fear. The power Charles had made Nick sick to his stomach.
“I wanted to come and see you. I’m sure you’re aware we’re stopping the auctioning and selling of females wolves?”
“Yes, I’m aware of it. Dean keeps me in the know of wolf business.”
“I know. I’m the one who tells him what to say,” Charles said.
Nick stayed silent for several minutes hoping the man would end his misery.
“Why are you here?” he asked, when the other man made no move to say why he’d come back to see him.
“I’m disgusted with myself. From what I’ve learned many women have been sold behind the collective’s back, by one of us. It makes us all feel old when one of our own can pull the wool over our eyes.” Charles let out a sigh. “Your woman is one of the women who was sold, right?”
Taking in a breath, Nick locked his fingers together resting his hands on the desk. “I wanted a female wolf to fuck. I was made aware of being able to purchase a woman. I paid over a million dollars for Clara. She was the runt, an outcast of her pack. Her mother and father, along with all of her family, treated her appallingly.”
“You used her for sex?” Charles asked.
“When I first bought her it started out as sex. I didn’t want or need anything else.”
“Something changed?”
Nick paused, thinking about the change of his feelings over the last few weeks. “Yes, everything changed. I no longer wanted to just fuck Clara. She came to mean something to me. The first night in my home I held her while she slept. Holding her gives me as much pleasure as watching her read.” Nick stopped, remembering her lying on the sofa in his office reading as he worked. “She’s beautiful inside and out. Her family didn’t deserve her.”
