“Nope. I usually only sleep for a few hours at a time anyway. This is normal for me. So, want to meet my wolf? He wants to meet you. More like show off, but same thing.”
“Yes!” I put my brush down without cleaning it. This was way more important. I’d buy a new one if I needed to. “I really want to meet your wolf.”
Cody bounced up from the couch before pushing it backward several feet. When he turned around, his hands were on his waist.
“I’m going to have to get naked.” His smile was impish. “You can watch if you want.” He shook his butt a little.
Slapping a hand over my mouth to stifle my giggle, I turned to the side. “No, I’m not going to ogle your man goodies right now.”
“Darn.” Cody sighed dramatically, but I heard the sounds of his clothes coming off.
It took everything in me not to peek. I wanted to. So badly. I counted to ten slowly in my head. It had been quiet for a few seconds. There was a shift in the air. I looked over. My mouth dropped.
Cody looked nothing like that monster. He hadn’t been kidding, if anything, he’d under exaggerated. He was huge. If he hadn’t moved the couch, he wouldn’t have fit in the space. Cody’s wolf was black, like his hair, but it gleamed in the light. He had an adorable white strip of white fur that started at his muzzle and looked like it moved down his back. His grey eyes, slightly darker, stared up at me.
Cody’s wolf spread his legs, his tail went up as it started to wag, and his mouth opened in a happy grin. I hadn’t realized I’d been holding my breath until he took a step toward me and it whooshed out.
“Oh, Cody. You’re… I don’t have any words. Can I touch you?”
He dipped his head once as he came to stand in front of me. His head was even with my chest. Dear God, he was huge. My hands reached out, hesitantly, to touch his head and ears. SO SOFT. My fingers ran over his head to his back as I resisted the urge to hug him.
“You’re so soft!” I scratched behind his left ear. My laugh was low as I tried not to wake the others up when he closed his eyes, his tongue lolling out the side of his mouth as he leaned more into the scratch.
Cody pressed his face into my stomach as I continued to pet him. I had a hard time trying to come up with a word that could explain what it felt like to see him. Everything seemed inadequate. I wondered if he’d respond the way dogs do when you scratch at the base of their tail. The wicked thought spurned me on. Using my two hands, I started to scratch down his back, biting my lip in amusement when his wolf made a low groan of pleasure.
When I reached where his tail met his back, I scratched harder, more vigorously. His reaction was priceless. He groaned again but his body fell to the floor limp. I found myself kneeling to be able to keep doing it. His eyes were closed as I continued for a few more minutes. When I pulled back, I couldn’t hold in my giggles. I laid on my back next to him giggling into my hands.
“You’re so flipping cute, Cody,” I managed to get out.
The air shifted again and Cody was no longer his wolf. He had my hands pinned next to my head as he straddled me within seconds. I didn’t even have a chance to say anything. My eyes were too busy roaming his chest in awe. He had faint black hair along the middle of his chest, moving down that I hadn’t been close enough to see. His nipples were a dark dusky color. As my eyes followed the line of his hair, I had to snap them back up to his face, my own flooding with blood, as I remembered he was naked, not just shirtless.
He was breathing heavily above me but his lips were smirking. “You like my wolf.” He looked proud of himself as he said it. “You weren’t even a little afraid. I knew you wouldn’t be.”
“Why would I be afraid of you? You’re still Cody. Your wolf is amazing.”
“I know.” Cody bent down, his face was right above mine. “I’m going to kiss you now.”
“Oh, um, okay.”
Stuttering was unflattering but Cody didn’t bat an eye as he pressed his lips to mine again. My eyes closed as I let myself feel his kiss. It was possessive, hard, and felt like everything was right. I was the one who pressed my tongue into his mouth first this time.
He hummed happily at my tiny bold step. His tongue pulled me further into his mouth as breathing became something to worry about when I was dead.
Everything blurred as I found myself sitting up, our lips separating briefly as my shirt flew off onto the floor. My bra followed seconds later.
My hands dug into Cody’s scalp as he pulled from our kiss to nibble his way down my neck to my chest. My nipples were so hard that when he finally licked at the left one, my hips bucked as I whimpered. He moved from one to the other, teasing me, while tugging my pants and panties off. As the cool hair hit my now naked body, goosebumps appeared.
Cody sat back slightly. His eyes were filled with hunger as he looked down my body and back up again. When we looked at each other, he licked his lips.
“You’re everything I’ve ever needed and wanted, Becca. I’m going to make you cry for release.” He kissed me hard again but only briefly.
I gasped as he pulled my legs apart, he angled them so my knees were bent. He kissed the inside of my left thigh as he gazed at me. If his gaze could actually make someone melt, I’d be a puddle by now.
“Try to be quiet.” He bit my thigh teasingly. “We don’t want the others to hear, do we?” The mischievous nature of his was going to be my undoing as he kissed down my thigh.
My legs automatically wanted to close but he blocked them using his own body as his breath blew gently over my pussy. My hands fumbled, but with nothing to hold onto, I clenched them together. I felt his hands spread my lips slowly as I closed my eyes. My whole body was a quivering mess at this point.
When his tongue touched my pussy, dragging upward to flick at my already sensitive clit, I came apart. Cody hummed low in his throat as his tongue pressed inside of me, claiming me possessively.
