Chapter Ten

(James)

I couldn't believe I slept all night in wolf form wrapped around Tracy. Nor could I believe she was standing here in my arms, not freaked out one iota. Instead, she wanted to be my mate. And she wanted it now, in this cave, our cave.

"Are you going to make me say it again?"

Lost in her touch, wrapped in her smell, I barely registered her words. "Never." I would never make her tell me twice. We didn't need a ceremony. We didn't need anything traditional. All we needed was each other. Here and now.

I crashed my lips down onto hers. This wasn't me stealing a kiss from a beautiful woman. This was me claiming my mate.

Lifting her up, Tracy wrapped her legs around my waist. Her center rubbing on my shaft of hardened granite through our jeans. Oh how I wished I could make our clothes disappear with a snap of my fingers.

Her fingers entwined in my hair and I swallowed her sweet moans. Damn, I'd never wanted anyone like I do her. It was pure, instinct.

I felt her wiggle and slowly pull her lips from mine. Her legs unwrapped from my waist and I let her slide down until her feet once again touched the cave floor.

"I'm not one hundred percent sure how this works, but I'm pretty sure these clothes need to go," she said with a mischievous smile. "And yes, before you ask we are definitely doing this here in our cave."

"Yes ma'am." I pulled the t-shirt over my head, dropping it to the floor. Then winked at her, telling her it was her turn.

Tracy didn't start with her shirt like I did. Oh no, her fingers slowly undid the button of her jeans. Watching her slowly pull down the zipper was like pure torture, but when she shimmied them down and stepped out of them it felt like time itself had stopped. All the moisture left my mouth and all the blood in my body felt like it surged straight into my cock.

She gestured with her hand for me to proceed. I had no clue how the hell my zipper hadn't busted on its own, but she was in for a surprise because where she wore lacey pink panties beneath hers, I wore nothing. Something she must have realized the moment I started unzipping them because her eyes widened and she licked her lips.

I was now standing in front of her completely naked, and it was obvious how much I wanted her. I couldn't wait another minute. I walked to her, waiting for the moment her eyes finally snapped back up to mine. Then I reached for the hem of her shirt, my hands brushing against her bare skin, as I lifted it up. Stopping as the material cleared her mouth and stealing a kiss before pulling it the rest of the way over her head.

I wrapped my hands around her, unhooking the adorable matching pink bra, then sliding it down her arms until it fell free, landing by our feet. I bent, kissing her neck; working my way down, my lips following my hands, to her breasts. They fit perfectly in my hands, but the moment I sucked her nipple into my mouth I felt her moan throughout my entire body. As I moved to the other one, sucking it into my mouth, my fingers skimmed down her skin to her panties. I leaned back, looking into her eyes, silently asking for permission. With eyes heavy with need she gave a single nod.

I slid the panties down slowly, breathing in her desire, as she stepped out of them. Then I stepped back and looked at her. Every single inch was perfection. I couldn't believe she was mine. "You are absolutely beautiful."

She closed the distance between us, wrapping her arms around my neck and pulling me down to her. "And I'm all yours," she whispered before kissing me.

She felt like heaven in my arms. "Say it again."

Pulling back and looking up into my eyes she said, "I'm yours."

"And I'm yours."

I didn't have a nice soft bed to make love to her in. I had a damp, cold cave. But at that moment, everything was perfect.

Pulling her into another kiss, I ravished her with my mouth. I lifted her leg up and she naturally wrapped it around mine, opening herself to where I could slide my fingers over her folds. And oh my gawd was she wet. I pressed one finger into her wetness, then two, stretching her so I wouldn't hurt her. Her moans echoed off the cave walls and drove my fingers to work faster. Her breathing became harder and her eyes showed me all I needed to know…she was close and she needed me. I pressed my thumb to little nub and she screamed out as her walls tightened on my fingers, flooding them with her wetness.

Tracy was beautiful when she came. I could spend every day watching her come undone like that.

"I need you," she mumbled and I lifted her up.

Her legs went around my waist as I pushed up into her. My eyes never leaving hers as we lost ourselves in each other.

With each thrust I walked her toward the edge, pressing her into the wall, which she used as leverage to ride me even harder. For the first time since I entered her I pulled my lips away from hers. "I'm close."

"So am I," she panted.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

With that one word I attacked her lips once again. A few more thrusts and I could feel her begin to tighten as I swelled inside her. With one final thrust I pulled my lips from hers and bit down on that sweet spot between her neck and shoulder as I filled her with my seed. As the coppery taste hit my tongue I felt her clamp down on my cock once again and felt the sting of her bite.

Then as if by the Moon Goddess herself the mate bond snapped into place. I felt her pleasure, her happiness, her love, but it was her words inside my head that had me suddenly laughing.

'I never thought biting someone or being bit by someone would be that fucking hot! Holy hell Batman!'

She looked at me as if suddenly offended, but I responded to her through our new link. 'I've never been called Batman before, but I'd have to agree with you about it being fucking hot.'

She laughed with me. "So all those times I thought people were having silent conversations with only looks they were actually having conversations, huh?"

"All pack members can communicate through a pack link."

Her face scrunched up. "But I'm not pack. I'm not even a wolf."

"You are now. You're my mate. The future Luna of the New Moon Pack." As I said the words their meaning washed over me. I would have to introduce her to the pack as my mate. Which meant I would have to take over as Alpha as my parents wanted. Would the pack accept her?
