Page 46 of Wild Wolf
“Maybe we should hunt our own,” she murmured, glancing up athim.
Teasinghim.
Daringhim.
Not giving him a chance to think, she tore off, her nimble feet using the rocks to cross the river. Jordan kept running through the woods, hearing his frustrated growl behind her. Laughing, she pressed deeper into the forest and when she felt confident no Skins were around, sheshifted.
This time the shifting came easier, bones and muscles strengthening and lengthening. Wolf sense exploded in her mind, her hearing and sight sharpened. She paused to sniff the old scat of a rabbit, and then looked up to see a large, muscular wolf bearing down uponher.
Wagging her tail, Jordan took offagain.
Zigging and zagging, she bounded through the woods, crashing through brush. Her paws raced silently over the dead leaves and forest floor, until she came to a clearing where a mighty oak hadfallen.
Pausing to catch her breath, she barely had the chance to sniff her surroundings when the big wolf was atopher.
He wrestled with her, growling playfully, nipping at her hindquarters as if to punish her for running off. Jordan yipped, writhing beneathhim.
And then she shifted back, panting, staring up at a pair of intense caramel eyes and a set of wide, firm human lips. Those lips pulled back into a knowingsmile.
“Caught you,” Nolan said in a husky voice. “Time to take your punishment for running off onme.”
He levered off her, and pulled her to her feet. Jordan didn’t bother with clothing. She undulated her hips and tossed her long, redhair.
Naked, he pressed her against a tree trunk, and kissed her hard. Nolan kept kissing her, dropping kisses on her neck and she groaned withpleasure.
His mouth encircled her nipple and she clutched his head as he sucked hard. Cupping her ass with his hands, he lifted her and settled between her opened legs. His shaft was thick and hard, and Nolan kept kissing her as his penis sought the soft opening between herfolds.
Whimpering she urged him inside her. With a triumphant grunt, he thrustdeep.
She wanted him so much she couldn’t stand it. Jordan wrapped her arms around his neck, biting back a cry as his hips pistoned back and forth, his shaft gliding in and out of her soaked core. It was hot, passionate sex. Nothing more. Sex with hermate.
Not love, she told herself as he penetrated deeper, one hand dropping between them to finger her clit. Closing her eyes, she let sensation overwhelm her. It felt wild and free, making love out here in the forest, the sky above them and the dank, rich scent of the forest perfuming theair.
Feelings gushed inside her and orgasm slammed into her. Jordan buried her cry in the crook of his neck as Nolan shuddered, spilling his seed deep. He kept climaxing, his hot seed sending renewed orgasms shooting throughher.
Finally, exhausted, they clung to each other, his seed and her dampness trickling down herleg.
Nolan kissed her gently, then pulled out. Taking her hand, he led her over to the banks of a small creek trickling nearby. Still naked, he crouched down, splashed cold water on his face, and then playfully splashedher.
“Hey,” sheprotested.
Impish mischief glinted in his eyes. “Let’s run again. Loser has to sitshotgun.”
“Like you’re going to lose? I don’t know where we’regoing.”
“Follow me, pixie. Can’t go wrong if you’re withme.”
Before she could shoot back a jibe, he shifted and took off. Jordan shifted back, racing after him. They raced through the forest until he heard the sharp crunch of leaves underfoot. Skinshiking.
Jordan shifted back so quickly her head spun. Nearby, Nolan shifted as well. He clothed himself by magick, but in her panic, she fumbled. Still naked, she stared at him in panic as the hikers drew closer. A flash of red through the trees, laughter riding the air, they were going to seeher.
See her and question. Her hand touched the tattoo on her back. Memories of that other time in the woods, when a hot knife drew across her skin. Imaginary painflared.
Grunting, Nolan shrugged out of his button-down shirt and draped it around her. Then he drew her into his arms, kissing her deeply. She kissed him back, trying to control the frantic pounding of her heart. Knew what he wasdoing.
Sure enough, the nearby hikers stopped. One coughed and said, “Uh, excuseus.”
Jordan’s eyes remained tightly shut as embarrassed laughter and footsteps drew away. Finally Nolan broke the kiss and looked down at her. His mouth was red, wet and tipped up in asmile.
