A Hard World

Wesley's POV

Long after my mom and Elena fell asleep, arm in arm. I got up and left them as quietly as I could, escaping to the solitude of my study. My heart was broken and I wished there was something I could do to make my mother's pain go away.

There was a soft knock on the door and Elena came in. She came straight to my arms and hugged me tightly.

"You were awake?" I asked her, burying my face in her hair.

"I woke up and didn't see you. I checked everywhere but you weren't there. A guard mentioned that you were in the study so I came to check on you." She said and sat down, pulling away from me.

"I left a while ago," I said and went to the minibar to fetch a bottle of vodka.

She raised her eyebrows at me but I paid no heed to that, serving two shots for both of us.

"Here" I ordered and handed one over to her.

"I have never had alcohol in my life." She protested but I went to her, locked her chin, and poured the liquid inside.

Her face was set in a grimace and she nearly threw up the burning liquid. She had never taken alcohol before and it was obvious.

"I'm taking you for a wine-tasting event next week," I said tonelessly and drank mine in one go.

"What did you do that for Wesley?" She said, still contorting her face and coughing in between.

"You will be faced with bigger challenges than just alcohol. You are my Luna and I don't think we should delay the wedding any further." I said, my head rummaging through a wide range of thoughts.

"You said you would give me time to woo me?" She said and swallowed, the alcohol was definitely beginning to hit.

"I am wooing you but I know you do not see me as a friend anymore. I want my mom to carry my grandchildren, it was a promise I made to her." I explained and she nodded her head.

"Is that why you are feeding me alcohol? So I can sleep with you?" She confronted me head-on, something I was sure she would not have done before now.

"How about you see it this way, that I am only giving you the boldness you need to let your inner desires take control. I know you want me Elena, you are not just sure how much you do." I said, desperate for her body as she drew in a deep breath.

"So what do you want me to do right now? I definitely can't throw up a baby." She argued, her words getting slurred.

"Strip," I ordered. Surprisingly, she stood up and shyly began to remove her clothes.

"Stop," I said again, my conscience not letting me do what I had in mind.

"Why? I thought this was what you wanted. A tool to make your promises come true. Not minding my feelings or anything." She said and didn't stop removing her clothes.

My wolf was purring and it was getting increasingly difficult to keep my urge in control. She began to move towards me and I backed away, trying to warn her as I was giving her a chance to leave.

"If you don't want this, you can leave Elena," I said, struggling to get the words out and forming a coherent thought.

She was standing stark naked in front of me, the moon illuminating her beautiful body and casting a silvery glow on her white skin. I know how soft her skin was and closed my eyes, willing her to go far away from me.

"Mate. Mate. Mate." My wolf purred inside me, restless and ready to take over but I didn't let him.

"Wesley. Look at me?" She said, it came out as a question and I wondered what she expected the answer to be.

"Wesley." She called out again but I refused to open my eyes.

"If you can't see, you can feel." She said, just before I felt the full roundness of her chest pressed firmly to mine.

"I am warning you Elena, this is your last chance to walk away." I threatened, my breath coming out in huge labored puffs.

"You are the one backing out now. I thought you said you couldn't wait anymore. I am here doing your bidding now but you won't give in, why? Am I supposed to wear my clothes and walk out of here without knowing what it feels like to be underneath..."

I kissed her hotly. It felt like I was eating her as I held her tightly to myself. She writhed against me, almost like she was desperate for me herself. It was easy to do everything now because she was naked but soon, her hands were roaming on my shirt and she was ripping it open.

The buttons splattered to the ground and I lost control, hefting her to my waist and grinding my erection against her. She threw her head back and moaned loudly. I knew she liked what I was doing so I balanced her on one arm and opened my zipper, letting my bulging groin free.

She felt the flagrant abuse of my hard and her eyes flew open. She seemed hesitant at first but I kissed her and rubbed her swollen flesh gently on it.

Soon, I was coated in the evidence of her arousal and she was panting heavily with the need for me. I set her down and kissed her, making sure to take my time from her head down to her toes and back to her rock-hard nipples.

"Elena," I whispered, my hot raspy breathing fanning her cheeks gently.

"Don't stop now." She said, her voice almost pleading.

"Are you sure you are ready to do this?" I asked her to be sure.

"Yes, quit talking Wesley." She said, impatiently.

"Once it's in, you are mine," I said before I carried her off to the secret bedroom in my study.
