~HARPER~
"Mhmm." I moaned, my half-awake self loving the pleasurable kisses being delivered to the left side of my neck. "Ian?"
"Hmm?" Ian didn't pause in his current quest to leave a hickey on my neck, which was a little risky of him, but it wasn't like I was going to stop him at this point.
I didn't know what time it was, but my biological clock told me I must have slept in. However, Ian usually had work early, and that was throwing me off. Not like I’m not enjoying this romantic moment.
"Don't you work?" I mumbled and moaned again when he bit my sensitive flesh ever so lightly.
"No." His response was muffled due to him returning to kissing, sucking, and biting my flesh, which was driving me crazy. I opened my eyes just as he moved his head from my neck to look down at me.
I arched an eyebrow at him but reached out to run my hand through his long strands before I pulled his head down so I could give him a heated kiss. Even though the kiss was deep and passionate, we tried to keep quiet.
Regardless of the time, I wasn't sure if Dolly or Sam were home and near our bedroom. Yes, it feels like our bedroom even if it really is mine.
"You okay?"
"Ya."
"No work?"
"I'm off until after New Year’s," he confessed. That shocked me, but with whatever happened yesterday, maybe he'd requested some time off.
"Did you ask, or did O'Neil request you get some time off?" I inquired.
He didn't reply immediately; he leaned over on his right side before he wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me into a side hug. "Requested."
"Because of yesterday or...?"
"The last couple of weeks have been harder than I expected, and it's been taking a toll on me. O'Neil noticed and asked for me to have a few weeks off. He doesn't want me becoming a heartless asshole."
"Heartless asshole. He legit said that?" I asked. It wasn't like it surprised me since O'Neil was very straight up and said that he grew up being raised to 'say it how it is' type deal, but it still left me curious.
"Ya. The tension at the office is a bit high right now with all the cases and on-call shifts. To be honest...I may not go back when New Year’s comes around. Not with everything that's happening," Ian admitted.
I hugged him a bit tighter and enjoyed his cinnamon scent. "I understand. You don't have to work you know?" I pointed out.
"It's my responsibility to ensure my mate gets whatever she desires," he whispered.
That made me smile, and I leaned back to see his softened expression and beautiful silver eyes. "And it's my responsibility to make sure my mate is happy. I don't want you in an environment that makes you unhappy. Also, I can take care of us just fine."
He smiled and gave me a quick kiss. "Have they settled your assets?"
"They will. I think by next week everything will be wrapped up and the deposit of inheritance will be in my account. I haven't told Dolly and Sam about the update though."
"To be honest, they've been so busy that I haven't been relying on them anymore," Ian admitted.
"I agree. I mean, we need to tell them about the move and...well, us. I hate that we've waited this long, but I mean...what can we do? Whenever we've got some quiet time, we get interrupted before we can bring the topic up."
"I know. This week I don't think they'll be home either. North and West sanctuaries are dealing with some stuff and they need their assistance.
"Is it weird that I kind of miss them focusing on us like when we were younger?"
"Not weird at all. I feel the same way. Guess it's like you miss the attention of having your parental check-in type deal."
"Ya..." I replied and relaxed in his hold. He didn't say anything either, both of us resting in the comfortable silence, lost in our own thoughts.
"Want to go check our home? We could take the pack seeing as there are renovations today," I suggested.
"That sounds nice. I need to talk to the pack about something before we go, but it won't take long."
"Important?"
"Hmm. Kinda but nothing crazy. Don't need to worry about it," he assured me.
"Okay. If you say so," I replied, knowing well enough that Ian didn't need to tell me anything regarding the pack unless it directly affected me. I WAS curious, but I wouldn't pester him about it, respecting his boundaries as a wolf shifter.
"You think they're home?" I asked, referring to Dolly and Sam.
"They aren't. Can't smell or hear them in the house.”
"Can we enjoy a nice bath?" I asked.
"I'd love that. I've missed you," Ian whispered and kissed me. We took a few minutes to make out, my naked body pressed against his. I'd been so comfortable with Ian lately that we slept in the nude. Unless it was really cold, or I knew I'd be asleep alone. That was when I wore some type of lingerie or piece of clothing.
On occasion, Ian did instruct me to wear clothes before I slept, typically on the full moon, but he hadn't done so last night, which could have been due to how distraught he was.
Guess nothing happened since I woke up still naked.
We sat up and I crawled onto Ian until I sat on top of him with my arms around his neck. He arched an eyebrow at me, but I noticed that his eyes filled with lust when I pressed myself against him.
"What are you doing?"
I leaned over to whisper in his ear. "If you're going to leave hickeys all over my neck, maybe you need some love and attention from me," I purred.
His hands landed on my hips and I saw him bite his bottom lip from the corner of my eye. I couldn't help but return the favor, moving my right hand away from his neck so I could begin to kiss his hot flesh.
"Mhm...Harper." Ian moaned and tilted his head back to rest against the headboard, which gave me even more space to work with on his neck. I was already turned on; my breasts pressed against Ian's pecs while his hard cock was right against my butt.
"Harper...can we?"
I knew what he wished for, and the fact he asked in such a sexy manner made me want to give him his reward. I gave him a deep kiss on the lips before I leaned over to the nightstand and pulled the top drawer open.
I got a condom wrapper and closed the drawer before I ripped it open using my teeth. I moved off him for a second to slide the rubber on his length before repositioning myself and guiding his cock to my entrance.
"You'll be okay?" Ian asked.
I paused to look at him with a grin. "Are you referring to needing lube?" I asked.
"Yes."
I giggled and brushed my lips against his. "Baby, I'm already wet and ready for you. Lube wouldn't do anything."
With that, I lowered myself onto his cock and he groaned in reply, the husky sound filled with satisfaction. I needed a second to enjoy the way he filled me up before I began to move, riding his cock slowly at first before I picked up the pace.
"That's it, baby. Fuck...so good." Ian moaned and met my gaze as we pressed our foreheads together and focused on the rhythm of our movement.
I hummed in pleasure and closed my eyes, moving my hips faster as I slid up and down his cock. As we got closer and closer to our limit, Ian paused for three seconds to shift our position just slightly, allowing him to move his hips faster and hit the perfect spot.
"Ah. Ian...I'm supposed to be...ah fuck. So good..." I trailed off, unable to concentrate when he was hitting the right spot that sent tingles of pleasure up my body with each thrust.
"I'm not supposed to be pleasing you?" Ian teased, and his badass sexy attitude was back in full force. "Pleasing you turns me on so much, you have no fucking idea." He growled and smashed his lips against mine--muffling my frequent moans and gasps.
I broke the kiss and pressed my body against his as I was on the verge of climaxing. "Yes, ah! Shit...."
I was close, but I didn't want to cum before Ian, and he noticed. "Cum for me, Harper. I have more for you," he murmured in my ear before he thrust deeply within me.
A loud moan escaped my throat as I came, throwing my head back as my body trembled in his hold. I cursed and rested my head on his left shoulder for a moment, needing to catch my breath and calm my hypersensitive body.
Ian waited, keeping his body still, but soothingly rubbed my back to help me come down from my high.
"Baby, you ready?" Ian asked. I could sense his need, and I knew it wouldn’t take long before he climaxed.
I lifted my head and gave him a soft kiss. "Yes."
He grinned and shuffled us further down the bed so that he could lay back. "I won't stop until you beg me to," he teased, and I raised an eyebrow at him.
"Beg? Uh huh."
"That confidence of yours is sometimes a curse."
"But 99% of the time it's a blessing," I praised, and he chuckled before he moved just slightly, which pulled a gasp from me. That made his grin widen and, just like that, he was thrusting inside me.
I was always up for a challenge, but shit. Ian was hitting the perfect spot once more which blew my mind because I didn't think it was that easy to locate a girls G-spot.
"Fuck, yes baby. Ian!" I moaned. I wasn't planning on begging him to stop because goodness this felt so amazing that I could barely think anymore.
"Yes, baby. Moan for me, be nice and loud as I fuck you." He hammered into me, and I knew I was going to have another orgasm in seconds. I bit my lip, but after thirty seconds I couldn't do it anymore--my body was thrown into another wave of ecstasy that made me cry out.
Ian didn't stop though, he kept going and going, and again, I was hit with yet another orgasm. I whimpered, needing so desperately a moment to calm, but he was still thrusting inside me and our breathy moans and cries were loud and full of emotion.
"Fuck...!" I screamed and gritted my teeth, knowing damn well I was close again. But Ian's moans and growls increased, and I could tell he was just as close as I was.
"Fucking cum, Harper," Ian ordered, and I couldn't wait; my pussy clenched his cock so hard as I came yet again, and it was enough to send him over the edge.
"Harper!" he cried out, stalling for a moment as he shot his hot cum inside me. Just from his slight movement, I knew he'd thrust inside me once again and my body wouldn't be able to take it anymore.
"No more, Ian," I whispered, as my body shook with aftershocks while I caught my breath.
"Are you admitting defeat?" Ian breathed.
"Fuck yeah. I'm not crazy," I gasped out, feeling utterly exhausted.
Ian chuckled weakly and turned us over so that he could pull his cock out. He removed the condom, throwing it into the small trash can we had next to the nightstand specifically for that reason.
"Shit, that was good."
"I came too much," I mumbled. My eyes closed as I caught my breath. When I didn't hear Ian's reply, I opened my weak eyes to see him gazing down at me with the happiest expression I'd seen in months.
"That really pleases me," he said quietly as he lowered his lips to mine.
"You're pleased so easily," I whispered back.
He got up and helped me stand slowly. "Let's go enjoy that bath. I think we're both satisfied for now."
"For now," I huffed, rolling my eyes for extra dramatic effort, but I giggled and gave him a kiss on the cheek. I stretched, something I liked to do after we had intense sex such as what we just experienced.
"Pumpkin. Yum," Reika purred.
Pumpkin? Where are you getting that from? I took a few sniffs to check what she was referring to and did notice the slight scent of pumpkin, which was odd for December.
"You can smell it. Not super strong but it's there," Reika replied.
"Hmm. Why does something smell like pumpkin spice? It's making Reika excited."
Ian just stared at me like I'd lost my mind. "It's gingerbread latte season, Harper," he reminded. "And Reika has a serious addiction."
"I agree with you, but it’s worth it," I admitted with a giggle at Ian's hopeless expression.
"You're an addict."
"He's jealous," Reika mumbled.
"Reika and I take that as a compliment. I still have a large stack of pumpkin spice coffee beans. I'm going to make some coffee after our bath," I declared.
"Hmm. I want Cinnamon Dolce," he replied with the cutest pout that made me rethink what I wanted.
Hmmm. We haven't had cinnamon in a while.
"True...and it is the holiday season. Cinnamon goes well with gingerbread," Reika added.
"Okay. We'll have Cinnamon Dolce!" I declared.
That lit Ian's face up, and he slipped his arms around my waist and pulled me into a ravishing kiss. "I love you."
"I’ll always love you more," I whispered.
"My Eternal Love," Ian murmured against my lips before claiming them once more.
I smirked against those smooth lips before getting lost in his cinnamon aroma and loving embrace.
I loved being Ian's girlfriend and mate.
