His pained words brought her eyes up, from his twitching cock to his heated gaze.

She wanted very much to be a part of what she saw in those depths. Pain, pack division, soul changes be damned, she knew somehow that her life was entwined with his already. And she wanted her body to be entwined with his, as well.

She took the last step toward him, her naked body grazing and then pressing firmly against his as he stood guard over her on her porch, and she stated her choice.

"Kiss me, Elam. Make love to me, with me. Take me. Fuck me. Claim me. I am yours already, and I always will be. Claim me and mark me as such forever, and you will be mine as well."

"I have been yours since the very moment I saw you, Emma. I've only been waiting for you to take me as well."

His words were almost grunted, the last grip of his meager control released as he uttered them before sliding his hands into her hair and cupping her face. He aimed her lips to his, his slow, exploring kiss changing and growing into something wild and needy.

Her mouth opened under his, his tongue sliding against hers as he deepened the kiss and slid an arm around her waist, pulling her near.

He walked her backwards, back inside her cabin, slamming the door with the heel of his foot once they cleared the threshold.

He stooped low then, scooping her up. One arm against her back and one under her bent knees, he lifted her, carrying her through the cabin and into her bedroom. He laid her down in the center of her bed, and an odd thought popped out of her mouth.

"I 'saw' this happening in the cave."

"Oh I'm sure I will have you there as well, sweet Emma. I plan on taking you everywhere you let me. Again and again."

He said that last bit with a grin, seconds before he parted her legs and kissed the sensitive skin on her inner thighs.

The feel of his mouth a few inches above her knee, teasing her flesh with his hot breath and soft, moist kisses was at once a totally new experience for her and at the same time, oddly a coming home. She knew she was exactly where she was supposed to be, that somehow this union, this very night, was where she had been headed her entire life.

Now that she was finally here, she wanted Elam, all of Elam, inside of her. Her heat was urging her on, she knew she'd only be complete once she and Elam were one, so she tried to tug on his hair, moaning her wishes as he continued to slowly tease her instead of taking her.

"Now, Elam. Please. I need you. Come up here and take me Elam, please. I need to feel you inside me."

"Funny, you don't sound like you've never done this before." He laughingly muttered the words against her skin, kissing his way up her silky thigh, aiming his mouth for the scent that had been driving him crazy for so long.

He wanted to kiss her there, to taste her, to drive her so wild for him that the little bit of pain she might feel when he slid inside her would be drowned out with need. He knew her heat was controlling her right now, but he still wanted their first time, her first time, to be something special for her, not just a heated, animalistic rutting.

"Relax Emma, let me taste you. We have all night. Hell, we have the rest of our lives. You only have one first time, I plan on making yours memorable."

He punctuated those words by finally reaching his goal and sliding his tongue between her virgin lips. The moan she let escape above him was so innocently surprised, and at the same time so utterly erotic, he suddenly wasn't sure that he'd be able to take it as slow with her as he wanted to.

She let her thighs open wider for him, welcoming his mouth as it moved over her, kissing her where no one had ever kissed her before. Her hands, which had a moment before been tugging at him, urging him away from here, were now fisted in his hair for an entirely different reason.

He added his fingers to his tongue, spreading her lips gently and sliding back and forth over her wet slit, enjoying the heated moans he was causing to tumble from her mouth.

She started rocking her hips rhythmically, her body instinctively pressing for more, falling into a rhythm as old as time as she sought relief from the heat building inside of her. He responded by sliding one finger slowly inside her.

The sound she made as his finger entered her hardened his cock even more, becoming almost painful as it ached to be where his finger was.

She rocked her hips faster, harder as his finger filled her, sliding deeper, and his tongue danced circles around her clit. He licked her with the flat of his tongue one minute, and circling and teasing her clit with the tip of his tongue the next, driving her higher and higher in her need.

"Elam! Oh, Elam! I'm going to come. I'm going to...Oh!"

He didn't stop what he was doing to answer her, he kept up the rhythm he'd found until her back arched, pressing her even more firmly against his mouth, and he felt her squeezing contractions around his finger as her orgasm took her.

As her waves slowed and stopped, he pulled his fingers from her, and started kissing his way up her body. He licked and nipped the flushed skin on her stomach, dipping his tongue into her belly button before exploring farther.

He grazed his teeth over the edges of her ribcage, her breathing still ragged, as his hand went on ahead, finding and cupping one full breast and teasing the nipple with his thumb as his mouth slowly followed behind.

He kissed the underside of her breast as he explored his way up her body, and then teased her nipple with his tongue before closing his lips around the tight bud and sucking on it.

She arched against him again, pressing her breast against his mouth, seeking more.

He pulled his mouth from her nipple just long enough to say, "Your body is so responsive. I loved making you come, feeling your orgasm squeeze my fingers. I can't wait until you are squeezing my cock inside you when you come again, Emma."

"Damn Elam. That felt so good. No one's ever made me come before. I mean, I've made myself, but no man has ever..."

"So you liked my mouth on you? Inside you?"

She groaned her response, with a sly grin. "You know I did. And you were right, in the cave, when you said that would take the edge off, but not for long. Elam, I already want you again. I need you, again. But I want to taste you, too."

"Oh no. Emma, I'm trying to take it slow, for you. If you wrapped those lips around me, touched me with that tongue of yours... No, Em. Not yet. Tonight is all about you."

"That hardly seems fair," she almost whined the words, trying to sit up under him.

"Explore me later, Em. I promise I'm all yours, forever. You can do whatever you want to me, with me. But right now, I want to be inside you. It's the only thing that will quench your heat for longer than a minute, and honestly, the only thing that will quench mine. I need to be deep inside you. I need you, Em. All of you."

He kissed her lips, drowning out any argument and pressing her back into the softness of the bed. His hands teased and squeezed her breast in his palm, teasing her nipple with his thumb before trailing his hand back down over her stomach and sliding his fingers between her legs again, testing her.

She was past ready, her orgasm merely priming the pump in her heat.

He was right. Her heat was already building again, her first orgasm only knocking the edge off her needs for a few minutes. Now that she knew the kinds of feelings he could ignite in her, she wanted him even more. She needed him again. All of him this time.

"Elam?"

"Yes, love?"

"I'm ready."

"What are you ready for? Tell me, I want to hear you say it."

"Take me Elam. Make me yours."

He kissed her harder, cutting off any more words. He knew if she kept talking like that he'd probably lose himself all over her stomach instead, and that was not how he wanted tonight to go.

He settled himself between her open thighs, kissing her as he aimed himself at the soft curls covering her entrance.

He took himself in hand, rubbing the very tip of his cock back and forth over her as he kissed her, mimicking what his fingers had done earlier.

She wrapped an arm around his neck, deepening their kiss even as she wrapped her legs around his waist, trying to push him inside her.

His cockhead found her slick entrance, pressing slowly, sliding deeper inch by inch until he was fully seated. He stilled there, smiling against Emma's lips as a soft, contented sigh escaped her.

"Did I hurt you?"

His body wanted nothing more than to pull back out, and then slide into her again. Her walls were so slick, parting for his cock and gripping him snuggly. Her thighs around his waist as he was ball deep in her slick tightness made him want to rock his hips, filling her with his cock again and again until he exploded from the pleasure, but he didn't want to push her, to hurt her.

"No, Elam. I felt no pain, just an amazing fullness. You are bigger than I imagined."

"You imagined me? What I would feel like?"

"Many, many times, if I'm being honest."

He laughed at that, and said, "I like it when you're being honest. I've imagined this many times as well."

She rocked her hips a little, squeezing him with some internal muscle as she adjusted to him.

"Careful, Em. I've gone slow and careful for you. But your heat, your scent, being inside you like this- if you rock too much I'm going to lose it and all the soft and gentle will be gone. I'm trying to give you a minute to adjust to me. I love making love, but with your heat going on, all I want to do right now is fuck you senseless. Maybe we should roll over? That way you can control our speed."

She rocked her hips hard and sudden under his, and then rocked them back, filling herself with his cock once again.

He let out a tortured animal grunt, squeezing his eyes shut, trying to keep the very last bit of control he still had.

"Elam, this heat you mentioned?"

"Yeah?" His eyes were still screwed shut, filling her with a female pride knowing that she was causing his distress, and very much wanting to see him out of control.

"It's a bitch. It makes me horny as hell. Before I saw you on my porch, I wanted to straddle the arm of my couch and rub myself against it until I came. Hell, I woke up with my hand between my legs, needing this. Needing you. You say I'm half wolf, I'm thinking not only could I take it if you fucked me senseless, I think I'd enjoy that very much. Fuck me, Elam."

She said the last few words, "Fuck me, Elam," as she rocked her hips once again, urging Elam finally over the edge he'd been desperately trying to hang onto.

With a primal moan Elam took over.

Emma met him stroke for stroke, wondering why she'd waited so long. Here, fucking Elam, was where she was meant to be. Her own wolf side came out, meeting his with a surprising passion. She raked her nails down his back, digging them into his bare ass, and using that leverage to try to pull him even deeper, harder inside her.

She locked her ankles together behind his back, grinding her clit against the base of his cock with every powerful stroke. She didn't take long, her orgasm came fast and hard, and she called out his name as she broke apart in his arms.

Her sheath squeezed his cock with every wave of her orgasm, pushing him over the edge as well. His hips bucked, thrusting faster and shallower as he reached his own orgasm. His mouth found the soft skin of her neck as she reached her climax and he sunk his teeth deeply there, holding her tight and claiming her as his as he came inside her, filling her full, and making her his.
