Hope

I followed Connor down to the great room and he took off towards the kitchen, basically banning me from helping him in any way. I meandered over to the large windows facing towards the small town of the pack. It seemed eerily quiet and I wondered if that was cause for concern.

“Where is everyone, Connor?” I called over my shoulder.

“I asked them to steer clear of the house today. I wanted to give you some time to settle in. With the ceremonies coming up, you’ll be busy enough. I wanted you to relax.” He said as he brought over some water for me to drink. I smiled up at him.

“That’s so thoughtful of you.” I stood on my tiptoe to kiss his cheek while he chuckled.

“It was a little selfish, I was hoping for some more of that alone time. Like what we just had in the tub.” He winked and I felt my face burn with a blush. He chuckled again and kissed me.

“No rush, sweetheart.” He headed back to the kitchen, so I opened my mind link with Liz.

‘Hey, Liz. How are you settling in?’

‘Hope! Oh my god it’s amazing. Draven and I just finished round three.’

‘You’ve already had sex three times? We’ve been here for like, two hours.’

‘What can I say, I’ve been starved for attention.’ I could hear her giggle through my mind.

‘What about you and Connor? Have you done the dirty yet?’ I felt my cheeks heat again and a small grin form on my face.

‘Well, we’ve done some things. Just not ALL the things. Yet.’

‘You’re telling me you haven’t jumped that amazing specimen of a man?’

‘We’re both virgins, Liz. It’s a little different for us. Neither one of us has any experience with these things so we’re kind of learning as we go.’

‘Yeah, you’re right. Draven definitely has experience, more than me. But I’m ok with that. Especially after what he did the last time. Oh my god Hope I have to tell you he did this thing with his…’

‘Ah! No! Stop right there. I do not need to know what he did with his whatever. Connor’s calling, the food must be done. Drink some water, Liz. I don’t want you getting dehydrated with all the activity you’re doing.’

‘Haha, yes Mama Hope. Good night!’

“What are you up to, love?” Connor asked as he made his way over to me. I was still looking out the window, and felt his warm arms wrap around my waist as he pressed a gentle kiss to the top of my head.

“Just checking in with Liz. She and your brother seem to be settling in well. He is showing her quite a good time.” I giggled and looked up at him. He gave me a devilish grin and a heard a little grumble of a growl in his chest.

“I’m sure he’s being very generous. Draven wasn’t really into the whole ‘saving yourself for your mate’ thing. I’m glad Liz is ok with that.”

“She was of the same mindset, so it would be hypocritical of her not to be.” Connor shrugged.

“Sure, but Draven doesn’t have to walk around a pack wondering which guys his mate might have fucked.”

“Trust me, if anyone comes after Liz, she will hold her own. That girl can be ruthless when she wants to be. Now, take me to the food, kind sir!” He chuckled and whisked me up to carry me to the table.

“I didn’t mean you had to carry me. I can walk you know.”

“I know.” He shrugged.

Well, then.

He sat me down at the table with two plates of pasta and chicken.

“Mmmmm this smells amazing, Connor! I didn’t know you could cook.”

“There are a lot of things we still need to learn about each other, sweetheart.” He flashed me a lopsided grin that made him look years younger than he is, and a vision of a little boy with blue eyes and his smile flashed through my mind, nearly making me choke on a piece of chicken.

“You alright?” Connor asked concern.

“Yeah, just going bat shit crazy over here apparently.” Connor looked confused so I tried to change the subject.

“What’s on the schedule for tomorrow?” It seemed to work because he turned his attention back to his food.

“My mom would like your help planning the ceremonies and I need to finish my Alpha training. And I’d like you to meat my Beta, Dean. He’s a nice guy I think you’ll like him.” I smiled and reached for his hand. My wolf was acting like a horny bitch and couldn’t stand to not touch him.

“Mo stóirín, you know I can hear your thoughts, right?”

Fuck.

“Language Hope!” Connor’s booming laughter brought a smile to my face and I couldn’t stop my own giggle from seeping out.

“Maybe I should start torturing you if you’re going to keep poking around in places you don’t belong.” I pushed visions of Connor bending me over and taking me from behind, with his hands curled into my hair and me screaming his name into his mind.

It was his turn to choke.

“You alright, sweetheart?” I cooed sweetly as he swallowed a large gulp of water.

“Where did you learn that shit, baby?” He asked curiously.

“Just because I’m a virgin doesn’t mean I’m clueless. Liz can be very descriptive. She wants to be a writer someday actually. She’s been very helpful. And thorough with her explanations.” I shrugged nonchalantly, trying to slow my rapidly beating heart.

Sending Connor that imagine had the unintended consequence of causing my own desire to seep out of me and fill the room with the scent of my arousal. I hoped briefly that Connor wouldn’t notice. I quickly snuck a peek at him, only to find him staring at me with pitch black eyes and a smile on his face.

So much for that.

‘Time to boss up, girl. You started it, you finish it.’ My wolf purred in my mind. She had been begging to seal the deal with Connor since I met him.

‘Shut up, maybe I’m not ready yet.’

‘Tell that to your soaking wet vagina, you dirty girl.’ My wolf sent me an imagine of Connor on top of me, with my legs wrapped around his waist and him holding my arms above my head as he pounds into me. I closed my eyes and couldn’t stop the moan that came out of me.

“Hope….” Connor warned. “you need to stop, or I will take you upstairs and make you mine.” I opened my eyes and met his gaze, biting my lip. His eyes followed the movement and turned dark again.

“Do it.” I whispered. “Take me.”

He shot out of his chair and lifted me over his shoulder, causing my breath to forcefully exit my body. He ran up the stairs with inhuman speed and deposited me on the bed. I saw his eyes look far away.

“Who could you possibly be mind linking right now?”

“Everyone. The entire pack. I told them not to bother us for the rest of the night because we are going to be very busy.” I gasped and the smirk on his face irritated me to no end.

“You did not!” I exclaimed.

“I did, and guessing by the amount of laughing going on in my head right now, they know exactly what I’m talking about.”

I stayed irritated, with my arms crossed sitting on the bed. Connor climbed over me, kissing my cheek, jaw, and neck until he reached my mark. He sucked it gently, causing sparks of pleasure to travel my body and any anger to disappear. Now I was grateful he had told everyone to leave us alone.

I certainly don’t want this interrupted.
