“What?” I whispered as I kissed along her neck.
“I knew there was something to it,” she muttered.
Except that it didn’t make sense. “To what?” I realized it was something about Tommy when she cleared her throat. I pulled out of her and flipped her onto her back. I moved my hands over her body as I got my fill of her all sexed up and full of my cum. “Tell me.”
She sighed, almost pouting at me.
Fine, I knew that look, and I was all too willing. I kissed her for several minutes while our bodies calmed down. Something in me was desperate to know what she’d meant, so I took a chance.
“Tell me and I’ll let you be the first vampire to feed from me, Ellie,” I whispered against her lips.
She froze and then leaned back so she could see my eyes. “Really?”
I licked my lips and nodded. “I want you to. I’ve not been with many vamps and I’ve never wanted to—tell me.” I got frustrated when she still hesitated. I moved to sit up against the headboard. “Kiss my body and tell me. Just not my cock. I only want it in your tight pussy tonight. And then I’ll fuck you and let you feed.”
That did it. Lust was back in her eyes more than reason or embarrassment. She crawled over to me and kissed my thigh, focusing on her task instead of worrying about my reaction or gaze. “I’ve never been with an Alpha shifter—maybe, actually, but not that I knew and not a wolf. I heard it was like a thing.”
I could read between those lines. “I don’t want to keep talking about him, but what did he say?”
She sighed, knowing she was busted. She kissed along my hips and then glanced up at me. “That I was better than being an Alpha slut and he couldn’t believe I would throw away what we’d had to be some Alpha’s slut. He made it sound like it was athingand worried too. So… Ya know.”
I gave her a wolfish grin. “So you thought he’d be worried I could fuck you better and it made you curious, huh?”
“Plus, the two bottles of wine,” she mumbled as she kept kissing.
I moved my hand to her hair to keep her where she was. I didn’t know I liked my hips being kissed, but I did when it was Ellie. “You want the answer?”
She chuckled. “Yeah, I got the answer. You just rocked my world better than he ever did.”
I flipped us and was between her spread legs before I even realized it. “It’s more than that. He wasn’t just name-calling.” I chuckled when she raised an eyebrow, leaning down and licking her nipple. “He was bastardizing our ways.”
Surprise filled her eyes. “So Alpha slut is like athing?”
“Yes and no,” I answered, kissing her quiet when she opened her mouth. “Listen, because I will tell you quick, and then I want to get back to being inside of you.” I swallowed a groan when she shivered and nodded that she’d be good. I tucked some hair behind her ear and rubbed my cock over her pussy. “It’s actually an Alphafling, but in some languages it translates to slut.
“But it’s not even done anymore. Not since we’ve been out to the humans. It’s an old custom that when the Alpha Mate is pregnant and can’t have sex during those months for risk of setting off a shift, she picks a willing woman from the pack for the Alpha to have a fling with.” I moved my fingers to her lips when she opened her mouth.
She got the idea and kissed my finger before licking it.
I slid my finger in her mouth and let her see how much I liked that visual. “Alphas are more aggressive, especially when their mates are vulnerable like while being pregnant. We were inhiding. There couldn’t be any risks of any behavior outing us. That aggression was best used in the way you just felt. Right or wrong, it works.”
“And feels amazing,” she admitted. “So, it was like an approved affair.” She waited until I nodded. “And I hope that the Alpha was a doting mate and good father to help after the mother of his child allowed that?”
“Yes. My parents did it for my first brother and I heard my aunts talking about how my father doted on her like ridiculously because of his guilt even if it was allowed.”
She nodded. “And the woman? The fling?”
I shrugged. “This is all before my time, but a woman handpicked by the Alpha Mate to satisfy the Alpha, and someone the Alpha had enjoyed being with was seen as a quality match. It wasnotlike a slut now or how that word was used.” I thought about it a few moments. “It was more like how being the mistress of the king centuries ago could get you a better marriage partner.”
She nodded. “So that’s what I experienced?”
I moved two fingers to her lips and gave her an expectant look. I let her see how much I enjoyed when she sucked on them. “No, that’s not what you experienced.” I chuckled when her eyes flashed shock. “That was me just getting a little rough and being pent up, Ellie.” I nodded when she seemed surprised. “I haven’t been with anyone in over a year.”
She liked that. From the way she sucked harder on my fingers she liked that I wasn’t one of the cliché single doctors she kept having to deal with.
“Do you want to be my fling, Ellie?” I whispered as I kissed along her jaw, pushing my fingers in her mouth deeper. “Do you want to be my perfect, obedient slut in my bed? Do you want me to show you exactly how an Alpha wolf tends to the needs of their partner and everything I can do to your lush body while—”
In a move that shocked me, she flipped us and had me sitting back against the headboard again. I watched as her fangs slid out and her eyes flashed power.
