The Alpha in her Dreams

Finally

His anxiety was evident even though she could tell he was trying to hide it. He took a slow breath before answering. “No, not since we haven’t completed our mating.”

“What would happen then?”

“I really don’t want you to think about that, Laurel. I want you to make the decision that’s right for you. I already accept you as my mate and I want you to be happy. I believe that you would be happiest with me and I with you, but it must be your decision and you should make it without guilt or pressure. A lot would change for you. But if you choose me, I will always be here for you. Because I love you and because we are connected, your happiness would always be my motivation and desire. Wolves are protective and passionate, they’re loyal. I would never cheat on you or intentionally hurt you. You would truly be part of my soul. Hell, you already are. I love you, Laurel. But I want you to be sure of your decision.”

“If I…decide I can’t be your mate, will you take a chosen mate?”

“No,” he said fiercely, and then calmed himself. “You are it for me.”

She stayed quiet for many moments, studying the way the clouds moved and listening to the wind in the trees. She didn’t completely understand his words, but knew that there was no rejecting Shepherd. She had felt the connection from the beginning, even if she didn’t have the background to know what was happening. She could feel Shepherd’s stress, and it pained her. She sat up and looked down at him. He was so beautiful. Not just his face and his body; his very soul was beautiful to her. The way their hearts were connected, their fates intertwined before they even met. That was something she absolutely understood and wouldn’t deny.

“I don’t understand all of this, and I may not know all the details or how it will work with you being a wolf and me being a human. But I do feel our connection. I want to be with you. I just don’t know if I’m supposed to be the Luna of a pack of werewolves when I’m a human. And I don’t want to agree to anything before I know what it means. But I will try. Is that enough for you?”

He sat up and grasped her hands as she spoke. “It’s more than enough. I know the rest will work itself out.”

Everything in her wanted to tell him that he was it for her too, but she was afraid. This new information was overwhelming, and she didn’t want to make promises she couldn’t keep. She needed to know what she was getting herself into even if she knew, deep down, that it already didn’t matter what the consequences were. She would be his and he would be hers. Until she could say that aloud to him with complete confidence, she wanted to give him what she could of herself.

This time when she leaned in to kiss him, he didn’t stop her. His eyes were dark with lust already, his wolf just below the surface. Their passion was electrifying, the sparks from his touch igniting a wild desire within Laurel’s body. Before she knew it, her shirt was off. She wanted to feel his skin against hers, to have him touch her in every way and in every place. He rolled her over onto her back and began kissing her passionately. Their mouths fought each other for dominance and when Shepherd broke the kiss, she gasped for air as his kisses trailed down her neck. She could feel his teeth rake against the bottom of her neck. The sensation was enough to make her moan. His teeth reluctantly released her, and Laurel wondered if he had wanted to mark her. The thought made her throb with desire. He sucked on each of her n*****s as his hand slid down to cup her s*x. She arched into it and pressed against him.

“I want you now, Shepherd” she moaned.

“I don’t want to hurt you, Love. Be patient. I need to make sure you’re ready to take me.”

He kissed her soft stomach and released her s*x as he moved between her legs, his warm breath creating tingles of pleasure within her. She looked down at him and saw that his dark gaze was focused on her face as his fingers opened her slit. He hungrily sucked her c******s before moaning into her. The vibrations of his voice made her shudder.

“You’re so delicious, Laurel. I can never get enough of you.”

He licked and sucked at her sensitive bud ravenously, sending jolts of pleasure through her as she quickly orgasmed, calling out his name. He kneeled in front of her, and she stared again at his large c**k. She licked her lips as he moved to hover over her.

“I’ll be gentle. Tell me if it hurts.” He positioned himself in front of her seam and slowly pushed in, not putting his whole weight on her.

She couldn’t help but gasp at the feeling. Shepherd looked at her with concern. “I can take you. Don’t you dare stop, Shepherd.”

That was all the encouragement he needed. He leaned down to kiss her, entering her slowly, letting her stretch to him. She opened her eyes and could see the strain on his face as he willed himself to take his time. Finally, he was completely inside her, and he paused, breathing slowly for a few breaths.

“Oh goddess, Laurel. You’re so tight. Are you alright, Love?”

The sense of being completely filled with him made her impatient for him to continue. “I’m more than okay. Please, Shepherd,” she begged.

After he had gently moved within her a few times and was sure that his size wasn’t causing her any pain, his eyes went completely dark, and he began to penetrate her harder and faster.

She cried out with delight. “Yes!”

He powerfully thrust into her repeatedly until she couldn’t take it anymore. She had never felt this level of ecstasy before. Pleasure raced through her body, igniting every nerve, every cell. As her orgasm hit, her channel tightened and pulsed around his shaft. Shepherd’s breathing became more erratic as his ecstasy increased until he finally roared her name, simultaneously filling her with his seed. He leaned down to kiss her gingerly on the lips. Reluctantly, he pulled out of her before wiping himself off and lying beside her, reaching over to hold her hand.

“Laurel,” he began but then just sighed.

“Exactly,” she responded breathlessly.
