After hours celebrating, eating, drinking and dancing the couple was ready to retire back to the suite. So many people repeated what the photographer said; there was something about them that seemed familiar, natural and fateful. The more it was said the harder it was to deny. Not that they were, but they couldn't if they tried. They began saying their goodbyes, receiving last minute advice and drunken hugs from distant cousins. Finally they were free to hold each other again and walk away into the night.
POV Nadia
…
He's so...ugh… everything. Sweet, kind, charming and sexy as hell! We haven't really had a full conversation yet but I'm dying to rip his clothes off! His shoulders, the muscles in his neck, his arms that could easily throw her around and hands the size of gods. There was definitely something about him that said he had supernatural blood. He can't be a werewolf though..my dad would know! He'd never, ever, in a million years of peace between species, allow me to marry a werewolf! I'd never met a man that held this kind of stance that wasn't part Wolf. Even half! I'd been with a werewolf, years ago and they are distinctive! Yet so are Warlocks, wizards, trolls and humans! I did secretly have an attraction to Werewolves. Ultra masculine, burly, buff and ugh, so steamy!
...
The walk back to the suite was quiet and quick. They both wasted no time. As soon as they reached the door Ryan stepped up and fumbled with the door handle! There must be something about this door that makes all men lose their cool!
"Oow, f**k me." Ryan whispered and pulled his hand back and shook it.
Nadia reached for it, pulled his hand to her mouth and kissed it softly. "As you wish, my husband."
Ever so swiftly Ryan grabbed behind her head and pulled her in. They kissed as he picked her up bridal style and carried her over the threshold. He made their way to the bed. He set her on the massive mattress, still kissing. He pulled back and removed his jacket, then unbuttoned his shirt and loosened his tie. Nadia watched every move, couldn't look away. She reached for his tie and pulled him to her. Her tongue promptly swirling around his. She finished removing his tie and shirt and stood up. She slowly turned her back to him as he continued kissing her neck, shoulders and back. He began to untie her dress and it slipped down with ease. It revealed the uncomfortable under garments Lizbeth picked out. Daring lingerie Nadia wouldn't have picked herself. Made of mostly lace and mesh, white and minimal.
Ryan loved what he was seeing before himself. He traced his fingers along her hip, waist, back, shoulders and neck. Gentle kisses everywhere. He felt her goosebumps appear under his lips and licked, sending chills through her entire body. He pulled her even closer as she shook. She turned again, pressing herself to his chest. Her hands found their way to his belt, she began to undo the buckle. Ryan's hands were holding her face, each kiss sweeter, longer and deeper. His pants dropped to the floor with a thud and he kicked his feet out. With no effort he picked her up, ass in his hands and she wrapped her legs as best she could around his thick body. He laid her down and sunk between her legs. She could feel him, all of him against her. Her body began to ache for him to be inside.
The straps of her bra pulled down from shoulders as he cupped her breasts. To his delight Ryan found the latch in front and quickly met each n****e with his mouth. Nadia let the first of many moans of excitement out.
"Ryan… Mmmm." She arched her back and ran her hand up the nape of his neck. Feeling her warmth between her legs Ryan pushed forward, letting her feel what he had to give. "Damn...mmm." she whispered against his lips.
With a low growl-like moan from his mouth to hers, Nadia smiled. She looked at Ryan's closed eyes as he continued to kiss and nibble at her chest. Like he knew she was watching he opened his eyes and looked directly at her. His eyes had changed from golden brown to nearly black. He kept his eyes on her as he kissed down her stomach, navel and hips. He took a deep breath through his nose and growled again. His secret was out and Nadia was loving it.
"Ryan… ?" Nadia sat up a bit and pulled his face up to hers. She looked at his still black eyes with question but not fear. Ryan couldn't contain it anymore. He held his breath as Nadia gave her permission. "Mark me." and with no hesitation Ryan dove to her neck and bit her, hard.
POV Nadia
…
Ahhhh! I knew it! He's a wolf, he's MY wolf! I could feel it when I saw him but I couldn't smell him till now! That sweet pine cologne was nothing compared to his natural scent. A hint of Palo Santo and honey. His canines in my skin wasn't the penetration I was expecting to happen right now! My body filled with fire, I dug my nails into his back and pulled his hair. In one fluid motion I was in writhing pain and sheer ecstasy. He held me tight and I felt safe, loved and protected. Ryan took his grip on my neck and turned it into kisses. His lips back onto mine.
…
"My Mate." Ryan said softly as he kissed her new mark.
"Am I really?!" Nadia opened her eyes.
"Mmm, you are. I'm so glad I can tell you that and you're not afraid. I knew before I saw you because…
"You could smell me first!" Nadia finished his thought.
"Yeah, I could. You smell amazing!" Ryan laughed and nuzzled into her neck again. "You know about my culture huh?"
"I do. I've studied all species. I'm not an expert but…"
"Maybe not for werewolves but you're an expert in the Craft." Ryan teased. He knew her secret too.
"I uh, um…" Nadia felt flustered and guilty.
"Hey, it's ok. I know I'm not under a spell, at least not a literal one. But your magic adds to your scent. It's ok. Great even!" He reassured her with another deep, long kiss.
"You can smell my magic?!" Nadia hadn't known this about wolves.
"Well, I can. I can because I'm the Alpha's son."
"Your Dad is the ALPHA?!" Nadia shouted?!
"Shh… let's talk later. I was in the middle of something…" he held a finger to her mouth as he kissed his way back down her body.
Like a snowflake on a summer day she melted into him. Her mind raced but her heart pounded. She laid back and drifted to euphoria. She was his, every part of her and in every way. His wife, his princess and even his given mate! This was why no one before him felt this good! His warm breath now upon her under garment she felt him slide them off. She lifted herself a bit to help and he quickly parted her legs more. Her feet on his back as his face disappeared. She'd never felt this before. She reached her hand to her neck and touched her new mark. She flowed with pleasure as he let his tongue dance upon her. She moaned louder and louder. Her hips moved with him like a waltz.
"Right there...ahh…" Nadia's body tightened as she approached climax.
Ryan kept his pace and enjoyed her while she finished. He kissed her again before he reached down to remove his boxers. He'd been told what it was like by friends to finally be with his mate. The one that was made and chosen for him yet he still wasn't prepared for it to feel like this. He steady himself a bit, feeling her release was nearly enough to drive him mad. With a gentle push, he thrusted his hips to her and they connected as one.
POV Ryan
…
Damn. That. Was. Amazing. How is it possible to be that good!? I'm exhausted yet full of energy. I'm a werewolf and s*x is biological intense for us. It always has been but this was… more. So much more! Was it Nadia's powers? Her enchanted blood? Or was it solely because she's my mate? I crashed next to her and pulled her close to me. We both were breathing heavily, hot and sweating. I ran my fingers over her fresh mark and she shivered. I kissed it and she softly moaned. f**k, I'm hard again!"
…
POV Nadia
…
I don't think I'll ever get used to that! That was… was… unreal. That was way more than what I imagined s*x with a soulmate would be! Although the Triple Goddess hasn't yet spoken to me about my mate yet. I'm surprised. s**t, why am I thinking of that now! He's got to be MY mate! What we just did was nothing short of magical, real, powerful and true. I'm his mate, now and forever. He's marked me. Oh and to be marked, by a werewolf! Come on! The first moment I am alone, I'm evoking the Triple Goddess. This qualifies as an emergency!
…
Both Ryan and Nadia lay in silence other than their heavy breath. The moon light through the windows was the only bit of light in the room. All the candles that were lit had burned away. Nadia turned to Ryan and softly stroked his cheek. His eyes were closed as he smiled to her touch.
"It's hot in here." She said.
"Sure is. Even for me, a man who can tolerate the heat." Ryan opened his eyes. The color returned to golden brown and Nadia felt so safe.
"Lizbeth told me there is a pool out back. A natural pool. Could be a nice way to cool off." Nadia suggested.
"Mmmm… that sounds amazing. Let's go." Ryan sat up and pulled Nadia over to him and off the bed. He held her hand and led the way out the French doors.
The back garden was glowing with tiny specks of white light. Lush with greenery and flowers. The pool was softly lit from under the water. Ryan stepped in and held Nadia's hand to guide her. The water covered both of their bodies like a cool cotton sheet. So fresh and crisp. Just the right temperature to cool off. Nadia felt a twinge in her fingers, something she usually felt as her magic spoke to her.
"Perhaps this pool needs some jets." Nadia touched the water and swirled her hand in a circular motion. Soon the water began to bubble and wave.
"Nice." Ryan smiled at her first power as his wife. He could smell her magic again and pulled her close to him. Her wet, naked body against him was blissful. "What else can you do?"
"Hmmm… maybe this?" Her hand barely on the water's surface began to change colors. Green, pink, purple, teal, blue, yellow, orange. Each color fading into the next. Nadia brushed her fingers over his arms and suddenly flower petals began to shower down from the sky. Small blue flowers, like this tattoo.
"Oh. Nadia. This is beautiful." Ryan cupped her face and pulled her in for a kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he quickly moved his hands down to lift her. Her legs around him were the perfect invitation to indulge into each other again.
Like it was the first time all over again Nadia felt immense pleasure. This time Ryan's eyes stayed golden and he locked them on to hers. The water began to dance, fountain like eruptions surrounded them. The wind sang and flew through her hair. The faster they got the more the atmosphere elevated. As if a fine orchestra was performing every movement was flawless and smooth. Ryan felt Nadia tighten around him and he neared his climax.
"Nadia. Mmmm...again.." Ryan said while kissing her. "Again...now."
Just as Nadia squeezed Ryan bit her mark again! The water exploded up to the sky as they reached the peak. It came back down like soft rain. The blue flowers disappeared like watercolor in a vase. They stay clung together, out of breath and elated. The water now calm sparkled in the moonlight.
"I love you"... whispered in unison.
