I wake up with my legs tangled up in Roxi's and her laying her head on my chest. I feel her shift and start playing with her hair. She nuzzles her head deeper into my chest.
"Mmm, I love it when my hair's played with."
"You have gorgeous hair. I just wish I could see your natural color."
"You could, but you'd have to get a little freaky. Haha!"
"You're a pervert."
I tug on her hair a little while giggling.
"I like that. Do it again." Roxi chuckles lowly.
I shake my head and she uses her wolf speed to get on top of me. She's straddling me with just a t-shirt and panties on.
"I would give anything to just have my way with you, but we can't."
"Who will know?"
"Every wolf in town. They'll smell our scents on one another."
"So? We're mates."
"Still."
Roxi dramatically throws herself forward and is leaning against me with her face nuzzled against my neck. I have my hands on her hips and it's taking all of my self control not to move them down.
Roxi speaks into my neck, barely above a whisper.
"Can't we just make out a little bit?"
"Maybe"
Roxi kisses my neck, ever so gently.
"I want this. I want to feel your tongue in my mouth. I want your hands all over me. I want every inch of your body on mine."
I can feel my arousal growing. Roxi whispers in my ear.
"I can smell you."
"Then, you know I also want all of those things and more. Can we just get emotionally intimate and then work towards the physicality?"
"Only if we can still cuddle and kiss a little bit."
"Absolutely."
"Okay, then, can we stay like this for a little bit and just talk?"
"Yeah. I'm guessing you wanna know why I've been locking myself away."
She nods against my neck and gives me another gentle peck. I can feel her warm breath on my skin.
"Okay. Well, do you remember the rogue attack on Eli? How I was flustered after hearing the description of the rogue?"
"Yeah."
"The reason why I was flustered is, that rogue used to be a part of our pack. He was supposed to be the Gamma."
"What happened?"
"He is severely homophobic and he also has a problem interspecies relationships."
"So?"
"So, I qualify as a product of said relationship and a lesbian."
"Okay? Where is this going?"
"He pretended to be my friend for years because he actually didn't like the fact that I'm were-witch, but he knew I was gonna be his Beta. Then, I came out when I was 16. He snapped. He was 17 and committed a terribly offense."
"Which was?"
"He..."
"Go ahead."
"One night, he asked me to follow him into the woods and go to the shack just outside of pack property. That's where we would go to smoke a little bud, so I figured he just wanted to smoke. I went along with it. After about 10 minutes of smoking with him and waiting on Eli, I started to get a funny feeling. Something wasn't right."
"Did you say anything? Ask where Eli was?"
"I looked over at Mickey and said, ' I'm gonna go, it looks like Eli isn't coming.' I stood up and started dusting the little ashes from the blunt off my pants. As I was headed for the door to the decrepit shack, I was hit over the head with something heavy. I blacked out and came to, several hours later."
"Oh, sweetie. But, how did you know that it had been several hours? Was there a clock?"
"I had already started the first part of my Beta training. He, of course, didn't know that. Part of the training was being able to tell what time it is without a clock of any kind. It was 5am and we had walked into the woods around 11:30. I took in my surroundings. My foot was chained to the old radiator. I was completely naked on a dingey mattress. For the next three days, I was tortured in many ways and he wouldn't leave me alone. He barely slept."
"Oh dear God!"
"Yeah. He kept saying, 'I may not be able to fix the fact that you're a half-breed, but I can make sure no one wants you when I'm done.' I still have scars on several parts of my body and scars on mental health. I have PTSD. It's always been hard getting close to anyone because of the trauma. I don't want to be hurt again."
"I will NEVER hurt you."
"I know."
"How did you get out, though?"
"The only time he left the shack, was to gather more food. I think he had done when I passed out from the pain every other time. This time, he did it while I was awake. He must have thought that I'd passed out again. I heavily relied on Callie to help me get free. I let her take over. She snapped the chain and with the last bit of strength that we had left, she ran back to the pack land and collapsed just inside the barrier. I guess when our body had collapsed, I changed back into the human form and basically crawled to the nearest house. An Omega lived there and saw me. She wrapped me in a blanket and her mate carried me to the pack house. Eli freaked and that's when he made his first decree as Alpha. He exiled Mickey."
This sweet, seventeen year old girl, looks up, pulls away a little and kisses me with so much feeling that I start to cry.
"Are you okay? I just wanted to tell you that you'll never be alone again, but in less words."
"Oh, sweet girl, I'm better than okay. You transferred all of your emotions to me and the strongest one was love. These tears are from joy and love."
I take a risk and kiss Roxi. I kiss her with such passion. I move my hands to her ass. She's wearing a thong. My hands are mainly on her bare ass.
I feel her press into me. we start kissing deeper and deeper. My grip on her ass is so tight that I'm probably leaving red marks. I hear her moan quietly. Something seems to take over for a second. Roxi parts her lips and my tongue takes the invitation. I can taste her and I love that taste. Without thinking, I flip her over to where I'm on top and she's laying down. I kiss her neck and make my way to her chest. She stops me.
"I don't want you to get in trouble."
I growl and I don't even know where it came from.
"I need this."
"Okay." She lets go of my head and I continue.
I rip her shirt right down the middle.
"Mmm, that was hot."
I nod and start sucking on one n****e while pinching the other. I switch. After a couple of minutes, I slide one hand down to the drenched panties, Roxi's wearing. I rub the outside and look up at her, longingly.
She nods and I take it as a yes, but I still ask just in case.
"You sure?"
"Yeah..." She says in a breathy voice.
I move down to where my mouth is hovering just above her core. I tear her thong off with my teeth. Thank you, wolf strength.
"Dear Lord!"
I chuckle in a low voice and lick the moisture off her folds.
"You're a natural brunette."
"Mm-hmm"
Roxi is writhing beneath me, begging for more.
I devour her p***y. I bite, suck and lick until she squirts in my mouth. Her body shudders and the grip she had gained on my hair, loosens.
I kiss my way back up her body and leave a hickey right between her boobs. I kiss her mouth a few more times before she speaks again.
"Damn..."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah."
"Good."
"Can I tell you something, Naomi?"
"Yeah, of course."
I sit up a little bit, so I'm straddling her.
"I have eaten other women out, but this was MY first time. It was amazing. I'm technically a virgin."
"Not anymore."
"No, not anymore. Thank you."
"For what?"
"For taking that risk to appease me."
"We both wanted it, but you're welcome."
"I have another secret to tell you, don't tell anyone."
"Wouldn't dream of it."
"I've been assaulted too. Not as badly, but it was still traumatizing. It's part of the reason my mom disowned me."
"Oh, baby, don't worry about that. You don't need her."
I tuck some hair behind her ear. I hear a knock at the door. I jump a little.
"Uh, just a second!"
Roxi crawls out from underneath me and rushes into my attached bathroom.
"Take a shower. I'm gonna get dressed and take whoever it is downstairs." I whisper.
She nods and goes about her business. I speed-dress and end up in booty shorts and a long t-shirt. I open the door.
"May I help you, Derek?"
"Did you call in to work today?"
"Yeah, I wasn't feeling well."
"Oh. Why does it smell like s*x and Roxi in here?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about." I close the door and lead him downstairs.
"Mm-hmm, right. You two f****d, didn't you?"
"Don't tell your brother or anyone else."
"Why would you do that?"
"She's my mate."
"Oh. Understood. I won't tell anyone."
"Thank you."
"No problem."
We stop in the kitchen and Derek turns to me.
"I came here to check on you, per my brother's orders. What should I tell him?"
"Tell him that I'm sick and Roxi insisted on taking care of me today."
"O-okay."
I watch him leave with a smile and a wave, hoping he doesn't tell Eli the truth.
I sit down to grade papers and Roxi comes bouncing down the stairs. She leans over and kisses me on the cheek.
"Hey, lover."
"Roxi, don't call me that. It makes me feel like a pedophile."
"You're not one. You're my gorgeous, loving, amazing, mate. I want more." She whispers the last part in my ear.
I just shake my head and we don't have s*x again for weeks.
