Page 9 of Banished Mates
My ass wasnumb from Willow’s front steps.Where the hell was she?I raked my fingers through my hair for the hundredth time and then rested my arms over my bent knees, was she avoiding me? Working late?
Dammit.
I pulled my cell out of my pocket to check the time again. She should have been home about an hour ago, but she was probably taking longer to spite me.
With a sigh, I pushed to my feet and slipped into her house. Hector would know I was here, which he wasn’t a fan of, but I wanted to wait for her in the house now that it was getting darker, that way she couldn’t avoid me.
I huffed when I opened the door to a messy bedroom. Shaking my head, I collected her clothing and placed them in the hamper. A shirt lay on the ground a few feet to the left from the hamper as if she’d tossed it in the direction of the basket but hadn’t made it. I couldn’t help the way my lips tipped up at the corners. Will was the definition of spastic and messy.
Lifting the shirt to my nostrils, I breathed in a lungful of her scent. It filled my body, warming me. A nervous restlessness prompted my wolf’s attention and he tried pushing to the forefront. I flattened the shirt on my cheek and rubbed her scent on my face. My cock twitched to life, hardening. I adored Willow’s scent.
After hooking the shirt around my neck, I reclined on Willow’s mattress, my feet hanging off the end of the bed, and folded my arms behind my head. I sighed, looking up at the plastic stars I’d pasted to her ceiling. It’d been a bitch to stick them to the uneven surface.
She’d had a rough year after the incident that should have only affected me.
As it always did, the memory of the piece of plywood slamming into her throat caused mine to constrict. I shuddered, exhaling. If she hadn’t thrown herself in front of me to take the hit, then she wouldn’t have struggled as much as she had. It was the day my world shattered. If I hadn’t purposefully set Torrin off...
I shook my head and placed my palm at my rapidly heaving chest. Recalling the event always left me twisted inside, even though Willow didn’t blame me. It hadn’t taken her long to get back to herself, and I had no doubt that was due to her concern for me.
And now she was pissed off at me, which was my intention. It would have worked well if Meridith hadn’t chosenthatspot. Jealousy had worked in my favor when we were kids—but goingtheretook it too far. Meridith was supposed to meet near the Alpha’s house, but she texted last minute and when I saw the location my stomach dropped.
This fucking pressure in my chest wouldn’t let up and it was my fault. Just because I’d wanted a reaction from her. Ihadnever andwouldneverhave any intentions toward anyone else. Even before I could name this emotion rushing through my body from the moment I saw her, she’d been it for me.
I should have set her straight, but I wanted some reaction from her. She wouldn’t fuckingopenup and it was driving me wild.
Every little expression she made had me on edge and it was only worsening. I was perilously close to losing control and fucking her, of finally ripping through the wall she’d built between us. I’d waited long enough. Then she’d thrown those accusations at me. She’d been jealous. Elation had been riding me hard and I’d fucked up trying to get her to admit I was hers and she was mine. To order me not to be with anyone.
I was strong enough to protect and support her now.
Which wasn’t always the case. I’d known for a long time that she was my forever, but it wasn’t until I was seventeen that I was able to put it into words. Back then, Torrin said if I wanted him to accept the mating, then I’d have to wait until she turned eighteen which was only a month after me. It should have all gone as planned.
The last and first time we fucked was the primary material for my fantasies. I needed to fuck her and bury myself so deep inside her that my cock was imprinted on her tight pussy... I groaned.
But what led to that still curdled my blood. I sneered.
The low Beta wolf, Riley, had kissed her. I know why she allowed it. Since going through my growth spurt, she-wolves surrounded me at all times. I’d done my best to politely force them away, but she’d seen one toss herself at me. She’d left before seeing that the bitch hadn’t pressed her lips on mine.
I’d given her time to cool her temper because she was bound to kick the shit out of my shin, but I’d given her too much time and found her with the mutt.
My body tightened painfully, and my lip lifted in a snarl at the memory.
As soon as she’d walked away, I’d beaten the fuck out of him, his face a mass of blood.
That night, I’d been drinking and ended up at her door. I wasn’t drunk enough tonotknow what I was doing. Seeing her near another werewolf set me off. Adrenaline had coursed through me and an extreme need to rub my scent and cum all over her overtook all sense.
I pressed my forearm over my eyes in memory of her silky tanned skin sliding across mine...
My body and wolf instinct guided me in claiming her. I’d licked her pussy until she was sopping wet, making her come repeatedly.
Only when she was clawing at my shoulders, desperately tugging at me, had I slid my cock into her silky depths. Her tight pussy squeezed my cock, inviting me home... and we’d fucked and fucked.
Her breathy exhales replayed in mind and my spine tightened.
I grasped my hard cock through my pants and groaned. The zipper dug into my dick before I slid it down. My erection sprung free and I gripped it in my palm. The engorged head throbbed, a bead of pre-cum rolling down the side and sliding onto my hand.
Stroking down, a tingle crawled up my spine and I sucked in a breath as I squeezed my eyes shut. Willow touching me like this... that was what I wanted. I tugged my dick again and more cum leaked from the tip. Her small fingers wrapped around me as she worked to milk me... I groaned.
Her beautiful face flashed in my mind’s eye. The only face ingrained in my memory. From the sly smile on her lips that curled up higher on one side than the other, to the tip of her pert, pointed nose, to the sleepy half-lidded look she always had. Sexy.
