Chapter 43: Soon
Alexa
Alexa felt the tingles, a live wire of sensation, running through her body. Before her human brain could process it, her wolf reacted. Grabbing Samuel firmly by the back of his neck, her fingers digging into his sweat-dampened skin, she growled, a low, possessive sound that vibrated in her chest. "You are MINE." She would be damned if she waited for her hesitant human side to make the move she’d been dying to make for weeks.
She halfway expected Samuel to push her away, to be startled by her aggression. Instead, a slow, wicked grin spread across his face. He simply leaned into her touch and replied, his voice a low rumble that matched her own, "Yes, I am yours, Mate."
His response, his easy acceptance, helped calm the raging beast inside her, but she didn’t remove her hand just yet.
Samuel
Samuel was enjoying the feel of her palms against his skin, the slight pressure of her nails a sweet promise. He wondered why he had never made the first move, but he was glad for the way things were finally going. Opening his eyes, he looked at the girl who had been visiting his dreams every night since he arrived. He saw the wild, possessive light in her gaze, and it was the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen.
Alexa saw there was no doubt or fear in his eyes, only a dark, hungry heat. With that, she pulled him closer, burying her face in the crook of his neck, trying to ground herself, to drown in his scent. She huffed, her breath hot against his skin. "You stink of her," she mumbled, the scent of the other she-wolf still clinging to him.
Samuel grinned at her possessiveness. Now is probably not the time to tell her he finds it incredibly hot. "Well," he challenged, his voice a low taunt, "why don’t you do something about that?"
Alexa
Alexa thought for a minute, her wolf purring at the challenge. Then, she acted. She ran her tongue, a slow, deliberate stripe, up the column of his throat, tasting the salt of his sweat.
Sammy shivered, a violent tremor that ran through his entire body as a small, helpless sound escaped his lips. He had been with women before, women with far more experience in the ways of the world, yet this single, innocent touch from his mate turned him on like nothing else he had ever known. He knew there was something between them from the beginning, a magnetic pull he couldn’t explain, but the way she never did anything, her shyness a wall between them, made him question if what he felt was one-sided.
Alexa nipped at his earlobe, a sharp, playful bite, and Sammy’s knees almost buckled. They were almost the same height. Perfect. Grabbing the back of her neck this time, he went in for the kiss he’d been craving.
Samuel
Alexa knew he was going to kiss her, but she wasn’t prepared for the searing heat of his lips or the way his tongue tangling with hers brought fire to her veins. It wasn’t a gentle exploration; it was a claiming. Winding her arms around his neck, she buried her hands in his hair, gripping the soft strands. In her passion-filled haze, she felt a pressure at her knees, and without a thought, she wrapped her legs around his waist, clinging to him.
Samuel felt like he was in heaven. He wasn’t even sure how he managed to find a table, or that he even knew one was in the room, but it didn’t matter. All that mattered was the sweetest addiction he had ever known. He lifted her effortlessly, his hands cupping her ass, and set her down on the edge of the cold metal table.
Placing her down, he settled himself between her spread legs. He could feel the heat of her core through her thin workout leggings, a silent testament to how much she wanted this. Planting kisses down the column of her neck, one hand went to her breast, squeezing the soft mound through her sports top while the other reached down between her thighs.
She bucked against his hand, arching her back, allowing a lust-filled moan to escape her swollen lips. The sound drove him mad, and before he knew it, his hand had slid under the waistband of her leggings. His fingers found their way into her welcoming heat, sliding through her slick folds. He circled the sensitive bundle of nerves, and Alexa cried out, a sound of pure desire and fear. It was her first time being touched like this, and the intensity was overwhelming.
Grabbing Sammy’s wrist, she shook her head. She wanted to continue, desperately, but she was terrified that he would find her lack of experience daunting, that she wouldn’t be enough.
Both of their labored breaths filled the small room. Resting his forehead against hers, Sammy wondered if she wanted him to stop. The thought of taking his hand away didn’t sit well with him, but if his mate said to stop, he would. He would die before he forced her. "Mate, look at me," he gently asked. When she finally raised her eyes to meet his, he leaned in and placed a soft, light kiss against her forehead. "I just want to touch you. To feel you. I want to make you feel good, but if you want me to stop, I will. I promise that I will not force you to do anything you’re not ready for."
Alexa
Alexa bit her lip, a move that made it harder for Sammy to hold back, but he would not force his needs on her. Sensing that she was still unsure, he urged her, "Tell me what you’re thinking, Alexa. Please."
"I... I’m nervous," she whispered, her voice barely audible. "What if you think I’m not good enough? Or I can’t satisfy you?"
Samuel sighed, a sound of pure exasperation. His little lamb had no idea that he was so hard right now he could probably drill through concrete. Alexa took his sigh to mean that he was no longer interested, that he was disappointed, and she felt like she was being rejected, a cold dread seeping into her chest.
Sammy saw the shift in her expression and quickly took one of her hands in his free one. Kissing her palm, he laid it flat over his heart. Alexa felt the frantic, heavy pounding of his heart and realized that it matched hers, a wild, desperate rhythm.
"I can promise you that there is no way in hell that I’m not interested in you," he said, his voice thick with emotion. Holding her gaze, he slowly lowered her hand down his body until it rested over the hard ridge straining against his sweatpants. Alexa felt it twitch at the contact, and a small, shocked gasp escaped her. Samuel chuckled, a low, dirty sound. "You see? He really, really wants to meet you." Leaning forward, he whispered in her ear, his breath a hot caress, "Would you like to meet him?"
Samuel
Alexa gasped at his teasing, but the thought of it, of all of him, sent a fresh wave of excitement through her. Shyly, she nodded, looking straight into his eyes, giving him her consent.
Samuel knew that he needed to take things slow. He was actually glad that he didn’t have a wolf, or else things could easily get out of control, and he didn’t want their first time to be a frantic rut against a table in a storage room. Removing his hand from her leggings, he first brought his glistening fingers to his mouth, sucking her juices off them. The taste of her was a high, a drug, and he groaned at the flavor. Alexa blushed furiously at the raw act, but it didn’t repulse her; it sent a thrill straight to her core.
Samuel began to kiss her again, a slow, deep exploration this time, and Alexa just allowed herself to enjoy the moment, trusting that her mate would not push her past her comfort zone.
Samuel knew that their current location was not ideal for their first time, but he knew that he could not, would not, leave her wanting. He could clearly see the desire in her eyes, and he would be damned if he didn’t give her some relief. Slowing things down, he made love to her mouth first, teaching her, tasting her. Alexa was a bit awkward at first, but she was a quick learner, her shy hesitance giving way to a passionate eagerness.
Soon, Samuel’s hands covered her breasts, kneading the soft flesh. They were not large by most standards, but they were perfect, filling his palms just right. He could tell that she had large, sensitive nipples, hard little pebbles pressing against the thin fabric of her top, and he looked forward to tasting them very soon.
