In The Beginning, Chapter 65
Daniel POV
Charlie’s mixed emotions about the creature had created a background hum that was driving me crazy once everyone had left.
“Charlie? Can we please talk about what the fuck is going on with you?” I snapped, frustrated. But when she whipped around, cheeks pink with anger, my frustration dissipated leaving me with the sting of guilt for snapping.
“What the fuck is going on with me? What the fuck is going on with you?” She shrieked, losing her cool completely. “How could you do that? I shouldn’t be mad, it’s not like you had a heads up I was going to pop up in your dreams. But you knew you had a mate, you knew there was a woman out there in the world somewhere who would rule the pack with you, and you still slept with women in the pack. Its... it's... disrespectful!” She finally blurted, and I couldn’t hold back the chuckle, it was kinda nice that she was jealous. It died on my lips with my smile with one furious glance from her.
“I’m sorry, you’re right, I never should have gone there, it was a mistake. I hate that I was there the first time I saw you, instead of our bed, where I could picture you lying...” My breathing and heartrate increased as she let me close, her sweet scent proving to be too addictive for me to resist, as my lips brushed her skin. “But you put yourself at risk, again. Don’t you understand how that hurts me, how much it worries me?” I asked, my voice thick with emotion, my tongue darted out to taste her sweet skin.
“She wasn’t a threat; she was just desperate.” She whispered.
“You don’t know that!” I argued pulling away before she could cloud my reasoning with her addictively sweet lips. “She could have been biding her time until she could attack. Looking for any weakness!” Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, her eyes drifted away, her wrath was less painful. I tried to reach out for her, but I froze.
“I didn’t realise caring about someone else’s pain was weak.” She said quietly as she turned towards the stairs.
“Charlie!” I tried to say I was sorry, that I was scared for her but anger is an easier emotion to deal with than fear, but I just silently opened and closed my mouth, like a dying fish.
“I have to get ready for the ceremony tonight.” She said without any anger or pain, which was so much worse.
“You can’t go!” I scoffed before I could stop myself, I saw her draw in a deep breath before turning, once again to face me.
“We can’t delay it again; they need to join the pack so you can effectively communicate with them during an attack. You could leave me here, but that would spark rumours, if they really are safe, why is their future Luna locked up and under guard 24/7? The pack needs this, they need to see me there. There have already been whispers about why we have delayed the Luna ceremony, most people are buying that it is reckless while we are under attack, but if I am missing from every function and event, they will panic.” She stated calmly, coldly even, for her anyway.
“No one would expect their Luna to attend a function mere hours after being attacked in her home!” I snapped, even though I was angry at myself for letting her go ahead with her little scheme.
“That is precisely why I have to go. You cannot afford to show any weakness right now.” She said with a raised eyebrow, it was a challenge, as she well knew, but fuck if I wasn’t relieved, she emoted something. I stalked closer, inhaling her sweet scent greedily.
“I have never shown weakness to the pack.” I growled low, my lips lightly brushing the shell of her ear, I felt her breath catch before I heard it.
“I didn’t mean it like that?” She admitted softly, her breathy voice made my cock quiver as it began to stiffen.
“How did you mean?” I asked, letting my lips move over her mark, sucking on it, after all she started this little game when she challenged me.
“You can’t deny my argument has merit?” She asked, before sucking on my earlobe, my mind went blank for a second as my now throbbing erection strained against my pants. Unable to resist her a moment longer, I scooped her up in my arms, and a memory from earlier flashed in my mind. I carried her to the dining table, stripping her of every single item of clothing, before depositing her on the edge of the table, at the head, pushing her back until her spine was flush with the hard wood. I ran my hands up her legs as I took my seat, and spreading her legs wide, began to devour her. Her skin, her juices, I dined until she moaned my name over and over. I was still enjoying my meal when she squeaked, sitting up and grabbing me to make me stop. “There is someone outside!” She cried as she moved to cover herself. I reached out through the pack link, searching for anyone nearby.
“Alpha?” Came the uncertain voice of one of the Iota’s, whose name I was blanking on.
“Are you patrolling at the rear of the pack house?” I asked him calmly.
“I apologise Alpha, I saw nothing- I mean, I was already halfway up the hill to do my sweep when I realised, I might have caught a very quick, and blurry, unfocused peek at something private.” He rambled nervously.
“Avoid the garden in the future, you scared my mate.” I closed the link before he could reply, turning my attention back to Charlie. “It was just an Iota patrolling the woods, he didn’t see anything.” I assured her as I pushed her back onto the table.
“Maybe we should just go upstairs?” She asked as I ran my hand down over her supple breasts, my fingers unable to resist teasing her stiff nipples.
“I have not finished my meal.” I smiled, biting her thigh affectionately.
“But... what if they see?” She whispered.
“I don’t care.” I stated, bringing her deliciously sweet honeypot to my lips again. I had to pinch her nipple to get her to release her bottom lip, which she was biting so hard I was afraid she would draw blood, to muffle her cries. “I want to hear you, say my name.” I demanded against her thigh as my hands moved over her body.
“Daniel!” She moaned when my lips began sucking on her sensitive bundle of nerves. Soon she was screaming it, her back arching off the table, as her hips rolled against my mouth. I waited until the last tremors shook her legs, my face, shirt, and her thighs, were slick with her arousal. I pulled the shirt over my head, using a dry patch to wipe my face, I fumbled with my pants as her soft hands caressed my face, pulling my lips on hers. Within seconds my cock was lined up with her dripping wet slit, the head forcing her to open up for it, as she trembled, mewling softly. I placed her legs on my shoulders as I pulled her hips closer, ramming myself into her as she gasped. My hands drifted from her hips, to caress her thighs, worshiping her perfect body as I found the rhythm she liked. Her hands scrambled for something to hold onto, I moved her legs down to my hips, lifting her ass to I was hitting the spot that she likes for longer, and harder. Her back arched, as she tried to curl in on herself, before I spread her out beneath my body, as I savoured the feel of her lips on mine, the taste of her tongue. She moaned into my mouth as my thrusts pushed her closer to her limit, her fingers gripped my hair softly, dragging my mouth back to hers whenever I wandered. I straightened to watch her, her fingers slipped from my hair, but were reluctant to release me as they ran down my neck.
“Touch yourself.” I ordered. Her left hand immediately dropped to her breasts, pinching and teasing her stiff nipples as her moans grew louder. Her right hand slipped down her stomach, and I found myself unable to tear my eyes away as she used her fore and ring fingers to open her lips, using her middle finger to stroke her glistening clit in small circles. My hips increased their pace as I groaned, the urge to drop to my knees and dine on her sweet juices almost became painful to resist. I saw her blush creep down her chest, she was close. “That’s it baby, come for me.” I growled, two more rotations of her fingers, and thrusts into her sweet wetness and I felt her pussy contract. She screamed my name over and over as I tried to ride her convulsions, only for them to be too much for me to resist. The strength left my legs with the force of my release, I slumped onto her chest as I struggled to remain inside her. Her pussy milked me of every last drop, drawing out another spurt with every contraction. I felt her arms wrap around me as I tried to catch my breath, I could feel beads of sweat forming on my shoulders, back and chest, but I couldn’t move. The sun had begun to set outside by the time I found the strength to stand. I pulled Charlie to my chest, lowering us onto the chair, and spinning her so her spine was flush with my chest, I just held her, my nose buried in her hair while I struggled to find the words to explain. “I know I can’t keep you locked away, I don’t want to, part of me wants to show the world how amazing you are. My wolf side wants every other Alpha in the world to see you, and your powers, and instantly become sick with envy, every male even, we want them all to know you are ours. But the human side of me is terrified something is going to happen to you... That you will need me, and I won’t be strong or quick enough to save you.” I admitted, while hiding in her hair like a coward, so I wouldn’t have to see the pain in her eyes.
“I know, and I’m trying not to get frustrated, and give in to whatever concessions you need, but...” She trailed off, unable or unwilling to admit the truth.
“But it will end up driving you away.” I finished for her, placing a soft kiss on her shoulder.
“I don’t want that.” She whispered softly.
“Me either.” I promised, my hold tightening around her waist as I lost myself in her scent.
