Her Alpha Mate 31

Zack's lips traveled down Freya's neck as she whimpered softly. Every single nerve in her body felt like it was on fire as his lips worked wonders. She arched her back and dug her nails deeper into his arms with each passing moment.

He expelled irregular, rattling breaths as he licked over the burning spot on her neck. She moaned softly and squirmed under him, her hips rolling involuntarily against his.

"Zack," she gasped, her lips parting at the pleasure coursing through her. He lifted his head and stared at her rosy cheeks and swollen lips. He leaned down again and took her lower lip between his teeth.

"How can you be so adorable and sexy at the same time?" he whispered, pressing his thumb against her lower lip to split it. She hesitantly licked the tip of his thumb, waiting for his reaction.

He only tightened his jaw and emitted a low growl that made her shiver before he sealed her mouth with his into a warm, rough kiss.

Just as she was about to place her hands in his hair, he suddenly broke away and began screaming her name. She furrowed her eyebrows as he called her name over and over.

What's going on here, she asked herself.

"Freya, Freya!"

Freya's eyes flew open and she saw Zack's expressionless face, studying her as her breath came out in short bursts. Her skin felt like it was on fire and her head throbbed, not with pain, but with anticipation. Her dream had excited her far too much.

It was at that moment that she realized.

She was in her heat.

"What time is it?" she whispered, sitting up slowly and looking at the clock. But he pushed her back down. She stared at him in confusion, only to find that his jaw was clenched tight and his eyes were dark as he slid them over her body.

He'd pulled the sheet down from her, probably to cool her off, but she thought it only made the situation worse. She was wearing only an undershirt and her underwear.

Her lace-trimmed, navy blue underwear.

"Freya," he said in a throaty yet strained voice, "why did you put that on if you knew you were going to go into heat?"

She didn't know what to say to him, so she bit her lip and wriggled around under him. He moaned and expelled a shaky breath, "Stop wriggling. I - you - fuck this."

Before she could even ask what he meant by 'fuck this', his lips pressed down on hers in a searing kiss.

'Oh moon goddess,' she sighed.

Freya:

I let out a whimper as his stubble brushed my cheeks and his abs pressed against the exposed skin of my belly. He gave a loud growl and ran his hands up my thighs, sending a shiver down my spine and goosebumps all over my body.

My breath caught in my throat as his hands grazed the curve of my waist, causing me to arch my back so he could touch me properly.

"Za-ck," I whimpered as he stroked the inside of my panties with two fingers.
My stomach clenched at the sensation and the heat inside me became almost unbearable.

I was going to need a new pair of underwear after this experience. "Should I stop?" Zack whispered.

Even though he continued to touch me everywhere but where I wanted him to. It was hard to breathe with his warm body on top of me, his hands sending scorching hot waves of desire through me as he continued to tease me.

We were just stoking the lustful fire between us, but we couldn't stop. Nor did I want to.

"Please," I begged, "don't stop now."
I pulled his head down and kissed him.

"Oh baby, I'm sorry," he murmured against my lips, "I just don't want you to regret this when your cycle is over."

The ache in my abdomen intensified as he gently grasped my breasts and squeezed them in a way that made lust overtake me.

"If you don't want this now, stop teasing me," I snarled, grabbing his fingers at my breasts. He ran his thumbs over the thin padding, causing my tips to harden under his touch.

"Look at you. So sensitive to my touch and soaking wet," he growled, his voice full of desire.

His dark eyes regarded my form beneath him and he shook his head in disappointment.

"If you weren't in heat, this sweet little thing would already be on the floor," he said, pulling at the inside of my panties and releasing them so that they crackled against my skin. I let out a breathless moan that broke off in the middle as his hands stroked the insides of my thighs.
Then he pulled back and sat up. His eyes were almost black with lust, but he managed to keep himself under control as he pulled me up and carried me into the bathroom.

"Time for a nice cold shower, love," he said softly, opening the shower door and stepping inside. I closed my eyes and leaned against Zack's chest, waiting for the cold water to wash over me.

My hair was sticking to my face from the sweat that had collected on my forehead, and my cheeks felt flushed.

I let out a sigh as the barely warm water finally reached us, cooling the lusty air between us. We remained silent and the only sound was the soft hum of the fan and the shower in the background.

"I really like you, Zack," I murmured deliriously. His chest grumbled with a gurgle before he kissed my hair, "I really like you, too, Freya. I really do."

A few hours after our shower, I woke up again and sighed softly at the morning sunlight trying to blind me.

Thankfully, my heat wave wasn't as bad as last time, and that was only because Zack was here with me. When he was near me, I didn't feel any cramps or headaches. My wolf was also calm, which made me feel even better.

I turned over slowly, being careful not to bump his arm that was wrapped around my waist too much, and stared into his handsome face as he slept.

He looked so cute when he slept, very different from the cold exterior he'd when he was awake.

"You can't stare at me when I'm sleeping. It makes me uncomfortable," he said suddenly, startling me. His eyes opened slowly and a small smile formed on his face, "Good morning."

I smiled and rubbed my eyes, "Good morning."

He moved closer and pressed a gentle kiss to my forehead and then my lips before pulling me closer to his body so we were really cuddling.

"I've a question," I asked seriously.

His eyebrows drew together as if he was wondering what kind of question I'd so early in the morning, but he nodded his head anyway.

"Doesn't my morning breath bother you?"

He paused and thought for a moment, "I don't think I ever noticed you'd bad breath. I guess I like you so much that the thought never crossed my mind. Besides, it's natural. It would be weird if you didn't have it."

I smiled and stroked my thumb over the dimple in his chin, "That's cute. Now how about we get up and go get a cup of coffee?"

"Sounds good," he said, pressing another kiss to my lips before pulling the covers off of us.

After finishing my morning bathroom routine, I let Zack do his thing and headed downstairs to make our coffee. I heard the TV in the living room, so I stopped next to the stairs and peered into the great room.

Gigi was sitting on the couch watching Dragon Tales with her teddy bear next to her.

"Good morning, Gigi," I called out.

She turned her head and waved: "Good morning Freya. I'm watching Dragon Tales right now."

"I can see that," I grinned, "Where's Juilet?"

Gigi grimaced, "Reece is eating her lips."

My eyes widened at her statement, "Are you sure?"

Hadn't they just met yesterday? Had they gotten over their shyness yet?

She nodded her head, her braids bobbing, "Yes. Mommy and Daddy used to do that too."

I nodded my head slowly and held out my hand for her to take, "How about we go see if they're done? You can have some hot chocolate."

"Okay," she chirped and took my hand.

I pulled her into the kitchen, where Reece and Juilet were kissing at the cooking island.

I cleared my throat loudly, "There are children present."

They jumped away from each other, and Juilet blushed when she saw me.

One eyebrow raised at her.

"So," I interrupted myself, giving Reece a pointed look.

I resisted the urge to burst out laughing at his embarrassment.

He'd blushed!

I could hardly believe my eyes. The sarcastic man who didn't give a shit was blushing, and it was so cute.

"Morning Juilet, morning Reece. I see you're both off to a good start."

They both turned even darker pink, which made me giggle, "Why are you looking at that? You two can even blush the same color."

Juilet buried her face in Reece's chest and muttered, "This is all your fault."

"My fault," Reece snarled, "Why is it my fault? Who told you to look so beautiful in the morning?"

I felt an urgent need to say, "Oh," but I figured they were embarrassed enough as it was.

I pulled up a chair for Gigi and walked over to the fridge while they continued to talk.

As I turned on the coffee maker, Zack saw into the kitchen and stared at the couple in confusion before exchanging a small smile with me. He greeted Gigi, who waved at him as she drank her hot chocolate through a straw, and then stood next to me.

"I've never seen Reece so lovesick. It's very refreshing," he murmured softly, watching her out of the corner of his eye.

I chuckled, "If he sees this, Chance will never let him go."

"I was just thinking the same thing."

As if on cue, Chance entered the house through the back door and just stared at the sight before him.

He looked at Zack and me and shook his head in amusement, "I've never felt so alone in my life."

"It's okay, Chance! Me too," Gigi said loudly, waving her hand in the air.

I chuckled softly and got to work on the coffee, which was slowly brewing. Zack suddenly groaned and I looked up to find him staring at his cell phone.

"What's wrong?"

He shook his head and pinched his nose bridge, "The alpha of the Dark Moon Pack wants to visit us today. He's something to discuss with me."

"What's wrong with that?" asked I.

He heaved a sigh, "Have you ever met Peter? He's an annoying asshole."

"I haven't, but I've heard of him. He seems like an interesting character."

"Trust me, if you didn't beat him up in the first hour after you met him, you're going to have to be very patient."

I raised an eyebrow, "Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see."

How bad could he be?
