Holt

 

Daci and I spent a couple more days practicing making love, as she liked to call it. I felt like I’d graduated from being a novice when I figured out how to make her come. I had no idea what to expect the first time I crawled between her beautiful long legs and let my tongue explore her delicate flower.

We had come out of the shower and changed the sheets. I threw on a pair of shorts and she pulled on one of my t-shirts. She looked amazing.

We both were starving. When our meal was finished, it took every ounce of strength I had not to lay her on the kitchen table and claim her there. Instead, we made it as far as the living room couch before we began clutching at each other.

I yanked the shirt up over her head and my hands roamed her body. I couldn’t get enough of her. I have no idea what made me say it or do it, but I told her to have a seat on the couch. Once she was comfortable, I knelt on the floor before her then pressed her legs open and let my nose lead me to her beautiful pussy.

At first I inhaled her scent and was mesmerized by how captivating she smelled. My mouth began to water. I wanted to taste her. I had to taste her.

I lowered my head a little closer and extended my tongue enough to lap at her. I found her clit and ran my tongue over it slowly at first, then I moved faster. It was then I noticed the reaction I was getting from her. She’d whispered to me how good it felt. I’d found the magic spot.

I rubbed my hands up and down her legs, then moved one of my hands so I could slide a finger inside her while I continued to lick her. Back and forth, small circles, back and forth. The whole time my index finger was pumping in and out of her. It didn’t take long for her low mewls to turn to louder moans, and for her fingers to become threaded in my hair, holding me tight to her.

I growled against her heat as I continued my assault of her swollen bud. I used two fingers on her, continuing to let them make love to her. Within seconds she wiggled her hips, her knees closed tight against my ears, and she cried out my name. I didn’t quit. I kept going until she begged me to stop a few minutes later.

I’d practiced that new technique a couple more times, and was pleased at her having an orgasm each time.

On the fourth morning of being together, of bonding with my soul mate, we were interrupted by the doorbell followed by a pounding on the door that indicated it could only be my apprentice Beta. He was the only person who did both without giving anyone a chance to answer the door.

“It’s Dolph. I have to answer the door, but I’ll tell him to get lost.” We both laughed.

“Don’t do that. Invite him in and see what he wants. It sounds urgent.”

“Trust me, it’s not urgent. That’s just the way he is.”

“Please, Holt, just let him in. If we turn him away, he’ll send Veronica over here. I know you don’t want that, do you?”

“Ugh, no.” I pulled on my shorts and a t-shirt, then handed Daci a clean t-shirt to wear. Before I walked out of the bedroom, I turned and looked at her one more time, standing there gorgeous and naked with her clothes in her hands.

“I’m going to take a shower, then I’ll be out.”

“Okay, princess. You know where the towels are. If you need anything, just holler.”

Her smile warmed me to my core. She was mine.

As I turned to go answer the door, the pounding began, again.

“All right, all right! I’m coming,” I hollered.

When I flung the door open, I saw Trey. I was shocked because I would have put money on Dolph being at the door.

“Hey, Trey,” I said.

“Well, hello there, Holt. Mind if I come in?”

“Oh, sure. Come on in.” I stepped to the side and let Trey in. Dolph rushed up to the door and darted in right behind Trey.

“I knew that was you. No one else I know knocks so impatiently.” The little clown smiled at me as he walked past me.

“Ready to come up for some air?” Trey asked, then he winked at me.

“I, we were perfectly fine here alone.” My words came out in a harsher tone than I expected.

“I understand. But, son, I think it’s getting time to introduce your mate to the rest of the Pack,” Trey said. “They should get to meet their new Alphas officially.”

“Why? I’m only an acting-Alpha.”

“Yeah, about that. I’ve been doing some thinking, and then I reached out to a few of my friends at Council. They’d like you to come see them tomorrow. They’re ready to make the determination on your status already. They said they don’t need the full sixty days.”

“That doesn’t sound good,” Dolph chimed in before I had a chance to verbalize the same sentiment.

“It may not be bad news. I think you both should keep an open mind,” Trey said.

“I don’t know. When juries come back really quickly in criminal cases, the majority of the time it’s not good,” I said.

I looked up and saw my beautiful mate standing in the doorway, with her red dress and her shoes on. Her hair was pulled to the side.

“Daci,” I said. I walked over to her and wrapped my arms around her. “Are you leaving?”

“You guys need to talk, and I need to go home.”

“But, why? You can stay here. Anything we talk about, you can be here for.”

“Holt, darling, I need to go home. I need to change my clothes and tend to myself.” Her eyes were full of unshed tears.

“What’s wrong? Is it me? Did I do something wrong?”

“No, it’s not you.” She reached up and pulled my ear close to her mouth and whispered, “I’m a little swollen down there. I need to go home and soak in my tub.”

“I’ll come with you. I need to make sure you’re okay.”

“I’m going to be fine. You stay here and get everything worked out to meet with Council tomorrow, like Trey said. Everything is going to be fine, for both of us. Come by when the guys leave.”

She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me into her until our mouths met. Our tongues danced together until we heard Trey clearing his throat. We both laughed. We hugged each other tight, then she pulled away to leave.

“Trey, Dolph. How are you both?” Daci asked.

“We’re doing great, Alpha. And you?” Trey replied.

She intertwined her fingers with mine, lifted my hand to her mouth, and pressed her lips to my palm. “I’m doing great, thank you for asking. I’ll let you guys get back to your discussion. I’m sure we’ll be seeing each other again soon.”

“Definitely,” Dolph said.

I stood in the door and watched my beauty make her way down the sidewalk and down the street. My chest felt hollowed by her absence and each step away from me made the feeling of emptiness worsen. Being away from her for even a minute was too long. I felt like I’d been abandoned. And we needed to resolve having two houses, A.S.A. Fucking P.

“Earth to Holt,” Trey called.

I turned and looked at them both staring at me. I shook my head and lowered my eyes to the floor.

“She’s your mate, Holt. She’s not leaving you,” Dolph quipped.

I growled before I looked up at Dolph for his comment. She was leaving, that was the point. I never wanted her to leave me, even if it was just going back to her house. He had no idea how I felt. But I wasn’t going to say a word to him. If I reacted at all, I’d be more inclined to punch him in the mouth. That would certainly not bode well for me since I had to go before the Council tomorrow. Instead I took in a deep breath and let it out slowly and ignored him.

“What do I need to do to be prepared to meet with the Council?”
