Chapter Twenty-Seven

Candy sat the shopping bags on Annie’s bed. She looked around the small room. Worrying her lower lip. The pack had houses and apartments spread throughout the city. She wondered what Annie would like, or if she’d like to stay here in the pack house.

Annie’s sister was here, she’d probably want to be close to her. Candy’s parents were here. She knew that her own mother would have no problems coming over to help out with the babies. It was clear from her response during the ultrasound.

Candy couldn’t help but wonder how her father had taken the news. She felt a pang of guilt at not having gone to talk with them about it yet. Everything had just happened so fast.

She took comfort in the fact that her parents knew how things worked with shifters. How quickly they moved. She was glad that she’d never settled. That meeting Annie had shown her what she felt for Eli was nothing compared to how she felt now.

The door creaked open and Annie walked in, pulling her hair into a loose bun. Her face scrubbed free of the makeup she had worn for their date.

Candy couldn’t help the way that her pulse quickened at the sight of Annie in an oversized t-shirt.

“You don’t need to put those away for me.” Annie said as she looked up at Candy.

“I know, but I want to.”

Annie held her hand out for Candy, her clear blue eyes studying her as she stepped closer. Bare feet padding along the hardwood floor, Annie parted her legs and Candy stepped between them.

“Thank you for tonight, I know I’ve already said it. I just wanted to say it again.”

Candy brought her hand up, tracing the curve of her mate’s cheek. Savoring the soft skin as Annie turned her face into the touch, kissing Annie’s palm.

“I’ll always take you out and make you feel special. I promise.” Candy whispered, leaning closer to Annie and pressing her lips to Annie’s.

She brought both of her hands up, cupping Annie’s face. Guiding her to lay back on the bed as she deepened the kiss. Their tongues moved against each other and Candy pressed her thighs together.

She was ready to take her, to taste her as she had wanted to do all night. Candy’s lips trailed over Annie’s chin, nipping at the smooth soft skin as she dragged her hands along her sides. Until she reached the hem of Annie’s shirt, with teasing slowness she dragged the cotton fabric up over her thighs.

Her lips and tongue moved to the skin of Annie’s neck as Annie moaned beneath her, fingers tangling into Candy’s hair as she panted out her name.

Candy moved her fingers up her inner thigh, dragging her nails over the sensitive skin as she sucked the skin underneath Annie’s ear in between her teeth. Teeth which she was trying to keep blunt as she worked the skin with her mouth.

She could leave a hickey. It wasn’t her mark but as she pulled back to look at the molted flesh. Her wolf was happy with the sight of the mark. She looked at Annie. Lips slightly parted and swollen from her kiss, her bun loose as wispy locks of hair clinging to her skin.

“Goddess, you’re beautiful.” Candy whispered, watching the way that Annie bashfully looked away.

“Annie-”

“You are.” Candy said as she moved her hands over Annie’s stomach, pushing her shirt up to reveal her breasts. “I could watch you all day, touch you all day.” She said, pressing her lips to Annie’s stomach as she moved lower.

Her hands caressing her thighs as she blew a hot breath over Annie’s center. A soft raspy breath was music to her ears as she settled herself between her mate’s thighs. Working her thumbs over Annie’s folds, taking in the sight of her sex, slick with arousal.

The heady scent of her arousal filling the room, making Candy feel high.

“Candy, please.”

With a grin, she leaned forward, swiping her tongue over Annie’s slit, tasting her. She repeated the action, savoring the sounds that Annie made and the taste of her honey.

With a growl, she started lapping at her core, watching the way Annie’s hands moved to fist into the comforter as she thrust herself against Candy’s tongue.

Candy sucked the bud into her mouth, loving the sounds that Annie was making.

Annie dragged a hand to her mouth, her teeth sinking into her flesh as she fought down a moan at the things that Candy was making her feel.

Her sex pulsed as she screwed her eyes shut, the feeling of heat moving over her skin. It was hungry and searching. She heard the gasp from Candy and wondered if she felt it too?

“Candy, I want to see you.” Annie panted, needing to see her mate. She wanted to watch her. To see how this was making her feel too, “I want to touch you.”

At Annie’s words, Candy gave her slit one last lick before climbing up beside her on the bed. Annie turned on her side, facing Candy as she pushed the hem of her dress up.

Feeling the damp lace of her panties, she pushed them out of her way. Candy let out a whimper as her mate circled her clit. Candy brought her hand to Annie’s pussy, stroking her through her folds.

The heat built between the two that had Candy panting as she kissed Annie. The heat moving over her skin as they brought each other closer to the edge.

Annie moved her fingers lower, thrusting them into Candy’s core, watching the way her head fell back. Enjoying the way their bodies felt pressed together. The way their legs intertwined as the bags fell from the bed onto the floor with a soft thump.

Candy’s body shook, it was like she was trying to catch up in a race she didn’t know had been started as fireworks started to flicker behind her closed eyelids. Her breath hitched and she let out a strangled sound.

Her body tightening and clenching up as the orgasm washed over her. She leaned closer to Annie, needing just a bit more as she sank her teeth into the delicate spot that would now be marred with her claim.

Her orgasm intensified as the bond started sinking into place. Joining them more than anything else ever could.
