Maia

How the hell can she be so alluring?

Alec could barely restrain himself. All his body wanted that very moment was ram himself into her sheath again and again until heaven takes him. He didn't even mind if making wild love with his mate was the last thing he would ever do on earth.

He shook his head. This woman was making him weird in the head. Well, she wasn't just any woman. She's his stubborn but captivatingly sweet woman.

He moved inside her tentatively. The movement sent little shivers down his spine. "Fuck."

She seemed to enjoy seeing him lose his wits, she smiled.

As retaliation, he withdrew from her, almost pulling out completely then swiftly plunged into her again. Her sweet little gasp fueled his own desire as did the tight clenching around his shaft. He claimed her mouth as he picked up his pace,

his thrusts became faster and unrestrained, reaching to her deepest parts, rubbing against the walls of her womb. In and out, over and over, he couldn't think about anything else but finding release. He couldn't feel anything else but that soft hot body beneath him.

She wrapped her legs around his pelvis and met his every thrust. Her arms around his back, inadvertently brushing her bare breasts against his. "Oh, fuck," the expletive escaped from their kiss. He grabbed her hips and sat up, taking her with him without breaking his pace inside her. Her moans were music to his ears, making him more and more aroused than he thought possible. He helped her move on top of him as his mouth found a soft mound and suckled. He kneaded the other, pinching the nipple as he sucked the one on his mouth.

She moved on top of him, taking his cock to the hilt repeatedly. He could feel himself leaking inside of her, making it easier to slid in and out of her tightness.

He felt her womb convulse and he knew she was coming. He quickened his pace and thrust into her over and over. Her climax shattered her and triggered his own. She collapsed against him as he poured his seed, gushing inside her, filling her womb completely before flowing out. They shared that blissful moment wrapped in each other's arms. It was no doubt the best sex he ever had. And all because she accepted all of him.

They were both panting hard, trying to catch their breath. She peeked into his eyes. "That was... amazing." She whispered shyly.

He kissed her full on the mouth. Her taste intoxicated him. In seconds, he was up and about.

She pulled back, wide-eyed. "Why are you..?"

He grinned at her. "You don't really think that would be enough to satisfy a wolf, do you?"

He gave a little thrust, making her bounce a little off his lap. Their love juices made the effort easier.

"Y-you can't be..." he made another thrust, making it hard for her to continue. And another.. and another.

"You were saying?" His grin grew wider as his thumb found her clit. He rubbed her there until she snapped at him.

"Goddammit, Alec!"

He laughed at her frustration and in one swift move, he had her flat on her back. She grabbed his butt impaling her with his hard arousal.

Then he couldn't laugh anymore.

He lost count of the number of times they made love. The sun was already setting when he allowed her to rest. She fell asleep as soon as her head made an armpillow out of his left arm.

He wasn't the type to cuddle but having Maia in his arms like this felt so natural. He covered their nakedness with a blanket and pulled her closer. She sighed in her sleep. He kissed her temple.

He spent the next several moments just watching his mate sleep, listening to the sound of her breathing. Happiness and love overwhelmed him. Yes, love. It wasn't love at first sight but he did fell in love with her during their first meeting. Did that even make sense? He fell in love with the strength and stubbornness in her eyes. He fell in love with the warmth and compassion in her. He loved how shy and innocent she was before turning into a wildcat when aroused. Meeting her again after so long made him realize that he would still have fallen in love with her even if she wasn't his mate. He was sure of it. How could he ever thought of living without her?

She turned in her sleep, had her back on him and away from his arms. That didn't seat well with him, he followed her and embraced her from behind. His heat must have enticed her, she turned around and snuggled against his warmth and pressed her cheek against his chest. She sighed in contentment.

He smiled. She reminded him of a cat. He tucked her legs between his and let sleep claim him.

He awakened a couple of hours later due to two things: one, he was hungry and two, they were not alone in her apartment.

He relaxed as soon as he realized who it was. He couldn't help feeling annoyed. Maia was still sleeping peacefully, wrapped securely in his arms. He didn't want to get up.

But he could just imagine Nathan's face outside the bedroom with his arms crossed. Of course he wouldn't dare barge in here knowing Alec's with a woman but he'd never hear the end of it once he got a hold of him.

Alec sighed. He turned to Maia and kissed her brow before slowly slipping out of the bed. She didn't even stir. He pretty much pushed her too hard with his huge appetite. He should be contrite but he was too happy to be sincere about it.

He walked to the door and opened it.

True enough, his little brother Nathan was waiting outside with his arms crossed in front of him. He raised an eyebrow over his big brother's lack of clothing. "Well, you look... cheerful. Too cheerful in fact, it's creepy."

"Why are you here, Nate?" he just ignored his brother's observation.

"I was in the area when I caught your scent with a peculiar one so I followed you. Who would have thought you were fucking."

"She's my mate, Nate." He didn't like the way Nathan was phrasing their relationship.

The younger man's eyes widened. "What? Really? I mean, finally? I mean, I haven't met mine but - well, who is she?"

Nathan tried to see passed him but he blocked his view. "She's exhausted. She's human."

"Yeah, I figured from her scent. But doesn't she..." he sniffed her scent coming from the open bedroom door. "...smell weird to you?"

Alec frowned. "She's my mate, of course she smells different from all others to me."

Nathan held his hands up. "No, not like that. She smells especially... sweet. I've never met a human like this - wait, this smell... you haven't marked her yet?"

Alec's facade turned solemn. "I told you she's human, I cannot rush her."

"Are you scared she's gonna reject you sooner or later?" Nathan tried to hide his amusement with his brother's plight but it was there in his eyes. It's not everyday that he gets to see his perfect older brother in a dilemma.

"She's not like us, I may be sure about her but that doesn't apply to her. We've only just met."

"Oh yeah, having a human mate is kinda troublesome... and not that common. In our clan, I think you're just the third?"

"Fifth, if you count those who got rejected by their mates," he corrected glumly.

Nathan couldn't contain his laughter. "Oh my God, I can't believe I get to hear you sound so insecure in this lifetime. I can't wait to meet her, can I meet her?"

He tried to peek into the room again but Alec shove him. "You'll meet her when I say so."

"Why are you being such a grouch? Human girls don't like paranoid, jealous partners, you know. They like charming guys like me."

Alec threatened to hit him, Nathan immediately stepped back.

He was still grinning like a fool though. "Oh, Genevieve will be so heartbroken when she gets to word that you've found your mate and you're totally smitten with her! I can't wait to tell Dad and the others!"

"Shut up, Nate. Why don't you just go back to whatever you were doing?"

"Alright, alright, you can also go back to whatever it is you were doing back there. Naked." Nathan's sass just couldn't be stopped. "I know how eager you are." He turned towards the open sliding door leading to the balcony. He stopped when he reached the door. "By the way, do something about her scent. I'm pretty sure the others will be drawn to it too. Without marking her, your scent can only last for so long."

"I'll just have to mask her scent with mine.. as often as it takes."

Nathan's face distorted in apparent disgust. He knew exactly what masking one's scent means. "I hate it when you all go and get yourselves a mate. So cringy and creepy. Like, who are you, people?"

"Goodbye, Nate." He couldn't put a stress in his voice enough. Alec couldn't even refute his little brother's assessment. He knew he was acting out of character the minute he met her.

He made sure Nathan had left before turning back inside the bedroom.

But he stopped in his tracks when he saw Maia, wrapped in her blanket with her arms crossed over her chest, right behind him. "So, who's Genevieve?"
