Hell Hound

Chapter Seven

Chapter seven.

Sienna’s words kept rolling around in Kiara’s head. Marcus Hunter, the alpha of Scarlett River, had been asking about her. Sienna had said that he’d lost interest when he found out she was non-dominant. But that didn’t make any sense. Surely that would just make it easier to kill her. Unless he was trying to avoid an incident. It would probably ruin his already dubious reputation if he slaughtered one of another pack’s non-dominant members. While she was attending the camp, she had guaranteed protection under shifter laws. Kiara and the others had been invited into Scarlett River territory to attend a multi-pack event. As long as she followed the rules, that protection wouldn’t be revoked. At least Kiara hoped so. If it came right down to it, it would be Kiara’s word against an alpha’s. Suddenly the walls of her hotel room felt like they were closing in on her. She needed to get out of there.

The smooth sounds of modern country music filled the bar. Kiara needed to forget her entire day and the country bar with its dim lights and crowded dance floor was perfect. She slid onto an empty bar stool and signalled the bar tender. “Something strong and fruity.”

“ID?” the Latino guy behind the bar asked. Kiara let her wolf bleed into her eyes, glowing a dull red. Shifter’s didn’t have an official drinking age because they didn’t have a defined age of maturity. They also metabolised alcohol differently, so humans tended to just let them be. Kiara started singing along to Luke Bryan quietly and rocking her head while she scoped the crowd. She seemed to be the only shifter in the place. That suited her just fine. Kiara planned to find a cute human male to help her forget all about Dash, Sienna, and Marcus Hunter. Dash. He was the main reason Kiara spent her nights with humans. After he had crushed her sixteen-year-old heart, she had found bars like these. Places shifters didn’t frequent, full of brave curious humans that couldn’t resist a pretty shifter face. It was the only way she could keep her wolf’s s****l needs in check before she started becoming aggressive. A honry wolf was a cranky wolf. Her drink arrived. A strawberry daiquiri. She smiled. “Tonight’s special.” The bartender told her. She thanked him and tossed a five in the tip jar filled with blue water. She’d settle the tab at the end of the night.

Nick couldn’t believe his luck when he walked into the bar and spotted the shy wolf at the bar. He had been having a shitty day. His father was nagging him about his priorities and taking a year or two to go roaming. His father was just hoping Nick would take over another pack somewhere so he wouldn’t challenge his father for control of Scarlett River. Nick had also been oddly curious about the Rising Moon wolf with impressive speed. No matter how shy and submissive she acted, Nick had caught the flashes of fire and defiance in her eyes. Her pack mates only interacted with her when forced, and they weren’t very friendly. There was something strange going on with her and Nick was just itching to find out what it was.

“Well, if it isn’t my favourite little Rabbit?” A deep voice teased. A spike of anger flashed through her as she turned to glare at whomever it was. Her dark eyes widened slightly when she realised who was talking to her and she quickly looked away. Great. A member of Scarlett River was sitting beside her without a single witness in sight. A shifter one anyway. “You know, you’re the only rabbit to win my game so far. Even the dominants who have played rabbits all got caught.” She didn’t say anything. Just averted her eyes and kept taking sips of her drink. “I was surprised to see you here. You know you’re not supposed to leave the hotel during the camp right?” Crap! She had completely forgotten about that. “Unless supervised by a member of Scarlett River.” She turned her eyes back to him then, meeting his gaze and holding it.

“So, you’re chaperoning me then?” He shrugged.

“Only if anyone asks.”

“Good.” She told him. “Because I’m here to drink and have some harmless fun.” He watched her swallow the last of her drink, something pink and girly, and slide off the stool. Nick watched her enter the crowd of dancing humans, her denim clad hips swaying to the beat of Walker Hayes “Fancy like”. Kiara swayed and bobbed to the music. A human male with short red hair started dancing with her. His hands moved to her hips and pulled her in close. Kiara was hyper aware of Nick watching her. And a strange feeling crossed through her. She suddenly started wishing he would come and put his hands on her hips. It was the same impulsive part of her that liked bathing naked in waterfalls. It wanted to see what he would do. The song changed and the tempo slowed. Kiara turned in the human’s arms, so he was now pressing up against her back. She deliberately met Nick’s gaze as the human put his lips to her neck. He couldn’t hold back anymore. Nick’s wolf rushed to the challenge. He was moving towards her before he even realised what he was doing. Kiara saw him coming and turned back to the human. She kissed him slowly. His hand sliding down to her butt. Nick reached them and pulled her away from the human male. He pulled her against him, one hand on her stomach, the other on her shoulder.

“Hey!” the guy started to protest. Until he saw the golden glow of Nick’s eyes. Even the drunkest of human’s knew better than to take on an animal shifter. The guy looked to Kiara, making sure she was okay. She nodded him away before turning to face Nick.

“That wasn’t very nice.” She told him.

“His hands were all over you.” Nick growled.

“So?” She pushed away from him. “Maybe I wanted them there.” Nick scoffed. “What?” Kiara snapped defensively. “Humans so beneath you that the thought of shagging one repulses you?” She had stunned him with the viciousness in her voice.

“No, but…” She completely broke away from him then. Nick had heard the pain in her voice. He just didn’t understand it. Was one of her parents human? The number of human-shifter relationships had increased over the last century. As the fertility of shifters decreased, human mates had helped to increase the population. But it was a catch 22 to have a human partner. Humans were far, far more fertile, but didn’t live quiet as long.

Kiara had gone back to the bar to order another drink. Another fruity concoction that smelled strongly of rum. “I didn’t mean to offend you.” Nick said in way of an apology. Kiara ignored him. She wasn’t acting like the typical non-dominant female. Nick was a future alpha. And she was treating him like just another equal. He found it strangely refreshing. He slid onto the stool beside her and ordered a beer. They drank in silence, both pretending to ignore their thighs brushing each other. Kiara’s bare thanks to her short denim skirt. They were both becoming hyper aware of the heat between them. Kiara’s wolf wanted to taste the deliciously dominant wolf. But the human girl knew better. Playing with an alpha was like playing with fire. And she knew which one of them would get burnt.

“Dance with me”. He finally said. The words had been on the tip of his tongue for several songs. Kiara peeked at him out of the corner of her eyes but said nothing. He lent over near her ear. “Just one dance.” His voice was low and sexy in her ear. “Come on.” Nick stood up and walked back to the dance floor. Kiara hesitated briefly before curiosity got the better of her and she followed him. The music was upbeat and the lyrics fun. They nearly touched as they moved to the music. Nick rocking back and forth from foot to foot, Kiara swaying her hips and raising her arms. Her red shirt was simple, with a gathered neckline that dipped towards her breasts. The edge of her black lacy bra peeking out. Her long black hair was loose, and he desperately wanted to run his fingers through it. The little wolf was sexy, and Nick knew he looked good in this black Henley and jeans.

They continued to dance with each other long after that first song had ended. By the time the DJ was winding down, Nick’s arm was wrapped around Kiara, her hand held gently in his as they danced together. “Watching Cigarettes burn out” came over the speakers and their pace slowed. Kiara rested her head on Nick’s chest. She was thinking about how she really should have stepped away from him ages ago. The bar was nearly empty, and she was running out of time to find a guy to sneak away with. “Or?” her wolf suggested, surrounding itself with the delicious rainwater and cut wood scent of the other wolf. Would he want to? She wanted to. Kiara looked up at him. His eyes met hers, and his nostrils flared as he took in her scent. The soft vanilla scent that clung to her skin was undercut with the warmer scent of arousal. His wolf wanted to jump at her. It wanted to kiss her, to be inside of her. Nick hadn’t felt such a strong reaction to a female in such a long time. She was impossible to resist. He lowered his head but left the decision up to her. Kiara raised up on tip-toe to catch his soft lips with hers. Heat erupted between them the moment their lips touched. She kissed him so deeply, she would have been embarrassed if he hadn’t been kissing her back with the same urgency. Their tongues fought for dominance as she pushed up against him. They only broke apart to catch their breath. Their wolves were clawing at them to keep going. Nick suddenly needed her. Bad. He grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the bar. He threw a hundred onto the bar to settle their tab and tugged her towards the door. They hadn’t spent that much, but he was too preoccupied to wait for change. His car was parked behind the bar. He thought about just getting naked in the back seat, but he wanted more than just a quick “shag” as she had put it. He wanted to spend all night with her. He opened the passenger side door of his jeep for her, and she jumped in. “What’s your name?” He asked, only just realising that he didn’t know it. Kiara didn’t answer, she was too distracted. And a part of her didn’t want him realising who she was and backing off. She lent out the door and kissed him again. Taking the hint, Nick closed her door and jogged around to his own.

Kiara kept thinking she would calm down during the drive back to the hotel. But it was only a ten minute drive, at Nick speed, and she was still majorly attracted to him by the time they got there. It had been hard to keep her hands off him while he drove. He parked in his designated space in the hotel’s underground parking structure and dragged Kiara into the elevator. She hit the number for her floor and pounced on him. She wrapped her legs around him as he cupped her behind. She could feel the growing evidence of his arousal pressed against her dampening core. The elevator dinged and she jumped down, rushing towards her room. Nick would have preferred his own suite, but she had already left the elevator and was heading to hers. Kiara fumbled for the room key in her bag. Finally finding it and shoving it into the lock. Nick was right behind her, swinging the door closed. “Roommate?” he managed to ask before she captured his lips again.

“Just me.” She tugged at his shirt and he pulled it up over his head. Her hands were already at his belt. She was a hungry little thing. “I’m more than enough.” She promised him. A quick shadow of doubt crossed her mind. Was she though? Kiara had had many human partners in the past, but no shifter ones. And Nick wasn’t exactly a virgin. Maybe she wouldn’t be enough for him? Nick palmed one of her breasts and kissed her neck. She felt him breathe in her scent, his stubble gently scratching her skin. Wetness bloomed between her legs. She gave in. It didn’t matter if he thought she was good or not, Kiara knew she was in for one of the best nights of her life.

Nick backed her towards the bedrooms. He could smell Kiara in the one to the left. He pulled off her shirt and threw it on the floor, exposing her black and peach lace bra. Her C-cup breasts were swelling with every heavy breath she took, just begging to be set free. He reached a warm hand around to the clasp on her back and released it. She gasped as the cool air hit her naked breasts. They were perfect. Nick was significantly taller than her. So, he gently pushed her down on the bed so that he could lean over her and catch a taught n****e in his mouth. She moaned with pleasure as his hot tongue lavished her right breast. Her hands threaded themselves into his hair and tugged. His other hand found the button on her skirt and was working fast to undo it. His own jeans still hanging open on his hips. He broke contact briefly to push his remaining clothes down and Kiara took the opportunity to shimmy out of her skirt and panties too. He was a little disappointed that he hadn’t gotten to strip her underwear too. Now both completely naked, Nick went to lower himself over Kiara. But she surprised him by catching his middle with a leg and rolling them over so that she was now on top. Her long hair brushed his chest and he shivered in pleasure. But he was the dominant one. His wolf needed to be in charge. He tried to flip them over again, but Kiara wasn’t having it. She shoved his shoulders down and rubbed her core against his hardened c**k. His wolf shoved at her again and they rolled. Nick was on top, Kiara pinned beneath him. She growled, but kept rubbing against him. Nick reached between them, guiding himself into her warm folds. Her back arched and she moaned. He felt so good inside her. She had only gotten a quick look, but she could feel that he was larger than all of her previous s****l partners. He filled her so completely. But her wolf wasn’t happy on its back. Kiara raked her claws down his back and pushed at him to roll again. They rolled. But Nick wasn’t content to lay back for her. He sat upright, Kiara sitting on his hips. They were still connected and he thrust upward. She gasped, kissing him hard. Both wolves convinced they had the dominant position. Nick thrust up into her as she bounced on him. He kissed her neck again as she threw her head back in pleasure. She could feel the pleasure building with each powerful thrust. It filled her up until nothing else existed except the two of them in that moment. She felt like a dam was about to burst and when it finally did, Kiara surprised them both by sinking her teeth into the soft spot between Nick’s shoulder and neck. She tasted blood at the exact moment Nick released inside of her. His pleasured moan, the only thing she could hear.

They collapsed onto the bed. Falling apart. Kiara instantly missed his presence inside of her. Nick’s arm was under her, he used it to bring her in close to his side. They lay quietly for a moment, catching their breath. Both wolves seemed satisfied, curling up inside the humans. Kiara laid her head on Nick’s chest. “I’m sorry I bit you.” She whispered. Not willing to ruin the quiet but having to say something. “That’s never happened before.” She felt him shrug sleepily.

“I’ll take it as a complement.” She had lost control. Marked him during s*x. It was temporary and no big deal amongst shifters. Males wore their little “love bites” like a badge of honour. Of course, it was usually a couple thing. Nick didn’t care. In his mind, it was just a mark of another female he had driven mad with lust. “What’s your name?” he asked again, stroking her hair.

“Kiara.” She whispered back.
