Kinzie opened her eyes, inhaling the tang of the Pacific Ocean and reveling in the feel of her fated mate, who was spooned against her. It was hard to imagine how much her life had changed in the past six weeks. While she had lost her twin sister, that loss had been the gateway to a life she never could have imagined.

She groaned and Damian stirred. “What’s the matter, sweetheart?” he crooned, nuzzling her neck and cupping her mons.

She smiled, even half-asleep, Damian’s most primal instincts were to comfort and soothe her… and to get laid. The man had an almost insatiable libido. He could, and often did, fuck her three or four times in a day. And then there was the wonder and glory of being mated to an alpha male wolf-shifter… their ability to knot and tie their mate in human form. God, she loved that. There was nothing to compare to the raw sensuality and exquisite intimacy of it.

Reluctantly, Kinzie removed his arm from around her body and rolled into a sitting position on the edge of the bed, shivering as the rumble that came from behind washed over her like the waves she could hear in the distance.

“Damian, we need to get moving. I need to get a shower.”

She heard him inhale, knowing her arousal would never get past his heighted wolfen senses.

“No, mate, what you need is to lie back down so I can have my way with you,” he rumbled, deep and seductively.

“You already did that when the alarm went off this morning. Seriously, Damian, we have people coming and I can’t leave everything to Grace. I have responsibilities to our pack beyond keeping our alpha well laid.”

He chuckled. “But you do that so well. And everyone says I’m so much easier to be around.”

She eluded his hand as he reached for her, hopping up and trotting into their bath. She stood beneath the rainfall showerhead allowing the hot water to sluice down her body. She took her time, hoping Damian would join her. He often did and she was glad he’d had the foresight to install a large shower that could accommodate his libidinous nature. When he failed to show, she finished her shower, grabbed a towel and returned to their bedroom.

“I was hoping you’d join me,” she said, drying her hair.

“And I kept wondering what was taking you so long?”

Kinzie had come to recognize both the sound and feel of her mate’s lustful designs as they washed over her, resulting in her nipples beading up and her pussy softening and becoming wet. There was no doubt that her libido raged as hard for him as his did for her. Removing the towel from in front of her face, she smiled. Damian was sitting in the middle of their enormous bed, leaning back against the headboard, the covers thrown off and his cock stiff and ready for her.

He quirked his finger at her. “Come,” he rumbled seductively.

“It’s going to take more than your command to get that done,” she purred.

He chuckled, deep and dark, like fine wine with chocolate. “I am so spanking that glorious ass of yours again tonight. But right now, I want you to come over here, straddle my thighs and impale that sweet, luscious pussy of yours on my very hard cock.”

She glanced at the clock. “Damian, we don’t have time…”

“I am alpha… we will make the time and they can wait. Now come here.”

She closed her eyes as the familiar shiver of desire washed over and called to her on a primal level that she found difficult to ignore.

“Damian, Grace is already here working to ensure the food and wine are perfect. I can’t just leave everything to her while I go one more round with you.”

“You are a disobedient, fractious she-wolf and I am your lord and master. Now, Kinzie.”

The tone of his voice left no doubt in her mind that he was in no mood to have his needs ignored or set aside for later. She moved toward him and was surprised when he made no move to change position. Damian was not one for allowing her any control in their sexual encounters, but it seemed this time, he was. She moved to the bed, crawling up onto it and straddling him. His massive cock pressed against her belly as his hands grasped her buttocks drawing her closer.

She had no idea why he thought he needed to spank her again tonight other than she knew he liked the way her ass looked when it bore the imprint and stain of his hand. He’d spanked her yesterday when she’d gone for a walk on their private beach in the moonlight. Because of the danger from the Hunters, Damian had restricted access to everyone unless they had someone with them, and the she-wolves of the pack needed an escort Damian deemed as appropriate—Grace and Stephanie did not constitute appropriate. Unfortunately for them, Linc and Xander, respectively, had been of the same opinion.

One hand came up to cup her head, “Mine,” he growled, bringing her head down to his.

Kinzie smiled. Control was also a matter of opinion. Just because he wanted her on top, didn’t mean he wouldn’t dominate her. Damian was always the dominant partner, always the alpha.

She took his chiseled face in both of her hands, gazing into his eyes.

“You’re such an alphahole,” she said before lowering her mouth to his, running her tongue along the seam of his lips.

Asserting the control he’d always had, Damian’s tongue pushed back on hers as it surged into her mouth, sliding along hers, tasting and teasing. The hand not holding her head in place, pushed on her buttocks, cuddling her close to his chest. Her beaded nipples rasped against the coarse dark hair that covered his pecs and narrowed to a pleasure trail that ended at the nest that surrounded his staff.

She winced just a bit as she was still tender from his punishment. Kinzie would never admit she enjoyed the lingering sting from her mate’s discipline. They both knew it got her incredibly aroused and responsive, often looking for an excuse for her to end up facedown over his knee. He knew she was nervous about the summit. She hadn’t been wolf for very long and was fretting, wanting everything to be perfect. Why she thought it wouldn’t be escaped her, but she didn’t want to feel as though she had left something undone. Grace, who was a celebrated executive chef, had taken on all of the wine and food duties, leaving Kinzie to just play hostess, something she feared she would utterly fail at.

Sensing her distraction, Damian’s fingers that had been lightly rolling her nipple between them, tightened and pinched, making her gasp from the sensation.

“I ought to clamp those nipples and make you ride me hard so I can watch them bounce before torturing them with my mouth.”

“Damian,” she cried softly.

There was something about the way he spoke, the way he touched her—everything seemed to have a direct live wire to her pussy. She was soft, wet and ready. She could feel a bit of his pre-cum as she rubbed his cock. Damian rolled his hips up, running his cock over her engorged clit and she moaned.

Sexual electricity sparked throughout her entire body. He lifted her up and settled her on the broad, bulbous head of his cock.

“Watch,” he whispered as he began to ease her sheath down his staff, just a little at a time, filling her to capacity and beyond.

She looked down and watched as it disappeared into her body, inch-by-inch. He held her in place, steadying her before urging her downward. He was too large, but her pussy had learned to accommodate his size. They were so perfect for each other. At times there was some discomfort, but not today. Today her cunt was greedy and wanted all of him. Finally, she was settled on the root—his cock lodged deep inside her. Perfection, she thought, as she leaned back glorying in the feel of him, hot and hard with no distance between them. They were one.

Kinzie moved her hips, just a little, just to adjust her seat and ecstasy exploded through her system, taking her by surprise. It shouldn’t have surprised her. Damian never failed to give her at least two or three orgasms to his one.

“Alpha,” she wailed.

He had cured her of calling out to God or the other powers that be when he fucked her. She was only allowed to call out to him—Damian, Alpha or Master. Anything else got her ass slapped… and slapped hard.

“Damn straight, Alpha,” he snarled as he moved his hips, making her gasp.

He rolled his hips up, driving his cock even deeper inside her, bouncing her on it. He thrust up into her, ensuring his staff touched her everywhere before drawing back down, only to surge upward again. Kinzie leaned her forehead against his. Even in this position, with her astride him, there was no question about who was dominant.

Taking hold of her hips, he slid her sheath up and down his massive cock. Each time he dragged her back down again, she could feel another climax edging towards completion. Her nipples ached and she moved ever so slightly so that they rasped against his chest and her clit rubbed against him.

Needing more, she placed her hands on his shoulders and tried to get the upper hand, driving her body down as he surged upward. Kinzie managed to keep the equilibrium for several strokes before Damian slipped his hand between them, his thumb finding her clit and pressing it hard. Like an ignition switch for a combustion engine, her climax went off like a rocket and she would have screamed had he not forced her mouth down on his to swallow it.

Just to ensure she remembered who was in control, he rolled with her so that she was on her back, with her legs locking behind and under his muscular ass. She grasped his buttocks, digging her nails into them.

“Fuck me,” she whispered as she writhed beneath him. “Fuck me, hard.”

She was always amazed at the transformation that occurred on Damian’s dark, chiseled features when he grinned wickedly at her. Moving his hips, he dragged his cock backwards, almost until he had withdrawn completely before driving back in. He began fulfilling her request, pounding her so that she felt every inch of him.

She could feel another orgasm beginning to build as he hammered her. Her inner walls shook and quivered; her breath speeding up as her climax came barreling down on her. Her muscles tightened and her body arced as she fell over the edge of ecstasy. He gave a last brutal thrust, his body stiffening as he drove deep, holding her hard against him as he began flooding her with his seed.

Kinzie reveled in her need for him and the heights of rapture he was able to send her to. Her pussy contracted all along his staff, milking it for every last bit of his cream. He drew back, making two small thrusts before grinding his pelvis against hers allowing the tremors racing through her body to make her whimper as he continued to pump his cum into her. He allowed her spirit to gently return to her body as he held her close, his love enveloping her completely.

Kinzie sighed as he stroked her body, softly rumbling to her to support her drop from the heavens to which he’d driven her with his lovemaking. She glanced at the antique mantle clock on their fireplace.

“You do know I’m not going to have time for another shower,” she said dreamily, knowing he didn’t care.

Again, the seductive chuckle. “You have no need for one.”

“What am I missing?” she said, not really able yet to focus.

“You my beautiful mate are far too tempting for most alpha wolves. Those in attendance will be able to tell we have coupled recently and that your pussy is full of my seed.”

She shook her head, laughing. “Oh my God, in other words, you wanted to fuck me hard to make sure your buddies knew I was off limits.” Damian didn’t deny it. Sometimes male alpha wolves could be very visceral. “You can be such a territorial bastard. And while we’re on the subject, don’t think that it’s escaped Grace or I’s notice that you and Linc seem to take fiendish delight in seeing who can fuck or knot his mate more than the other whenever they’re visiting.”

“You know what they say, sweetheart…”

“I’m afraid to ask.”

“Boys and their toys. And it is especially true for alpha wolves and their fated fucktoys.”

Kinzie laughed in spite of herself. “Sometimes I don’t know what I’m going to do with you and then I realize I’m always going to have you, so it doesn’t matter.”

The house phone by the bed rang. Damian picked it up and smiled. “Hudson Rhodes is here. The Alpha of Coronado. We need to get dressed and get downstairs…”
