Chapter Four
Frowning James stalked towards her. She was still shivering hard under the blankets; her body wasn’t warming itself back up and she needed his body heat. He stopped in his tracks when the urge to claim her pulsed through him. He wanted her more than anything. His cock hardened and he glanced down. This wasn’t going to work. He was too on edge and he was covered in mud. There was no way he could be near her in his condition. He didn’t trust himself right now and he didn’t want to scare her.
“I’ll be right back.” Ignoring the whimpering wolf in his head he made a beeline for the bathroom.
Grabbing a towel and a bar of soap from the cabinet he turned on the shower and stepped under the spray. “Shit!” Fuck it’s cold! With the generator out they didn’t have any hot running water. Using the soap he quickly scrubbed himself clean. The ice cold water was doing nothing to alleviate the throbbing in his cock. James groaned as need pulsed through him and he pictured her naked under the blankets. Wrapping his hand around himself he squeezed, cum already leaking from his cock. He’d barley moved his hand and he was coming in gut wrenching squirts.
James gasped for breath and let the water wash his cum away. He needed to get out there but another wave of need pulsed through him so strong James doubled over. Holy shit! Coming had made his need for her worsen. This must be the mating heat. He wasn’t sure if she’d be affected but if she was he was in trouble. He was holding on by a thread. Letting the cold water blast him in the face he tried to clear his head. His wolf was right there on the edge of his consciousness demanding dominance and he growled when James turned off the water. His wolf didn’t understand why he couldn’t claim his mate now.
Drying himself off James ignored his wolf and the growing need in his body. He glanced at the mirror and drew up short. Even if he hadn’t been covered in a full beard, James didn’t recognize the man in the mirror. He was no longer the eighteen year old boy he remembered being. Ten years was a long time. James shook his head. Having more pressing concerns he turned away from the stranger in the mirror. Emily needed him.
Stepping into the room his mate was aglow in firelight. She was so beautiful his chest ached. Her eyes were closed but she was still shaking. Moving quickly James made sure everything was still locked up tight and hurried over to the fireplace adding more wood before returning to her. Her eyes fluttered but she didn’t acknowledge him when he crawled into bed beside her. Pulling her on top of his body he held her close. She sighed loudly and pressed herself against him, her tense and shivering muscles slowly relaxing as his body heat helped restore hers. James jumped when her frozen foot touched his leg. Jesus! He gently squeezed her feet between his calves giving her as much skin on skin contact as possible.
His entire body shuddered and it had nothing to do with the cold. Emily squirmed on top of him wrapping her thighs around his as she hugged him. His cock was hard and throbbing and it was torture with her pressed up against him; though he wouldn’t move her for the world. James swallowed and gritted his teeth. He was in heaven and hell. She moved restlessly in her sleep as she shivered and burrowed into his body, inadvertently rubbing his hard cock between them. He released a pent up breath when she finally stilled above him and was relieved when her skin became less shockingly cold against his. Stroking her hair he reflected on how quickly his life had changed again. And who could do this to her? Tomorrow James was getting answers, and then he was going hunting. He couldn’t imagine any answer being good enough. What if he hadn’t been out tonight? What if he’d….Swallowing the lump in his throat James stopped that train of thought. He’d been there and that was all that mattered.

Molten heat gathered in her middle and every cell in her body buzzed. Emily moaned as James trailed kisses from her mouth, down her jaw and to her throat. Once there he gently nuzzled and nibbled on the sensitive skin.
“You’re mine.” He growled before his sharp teeth clamped down on the cord of her neck. Her hips bucked forward as pleasure coursed through her. She wanted him. She needed him, but it wasn’t enough. Emily tried to get closer.
“Holy fuck!” James’s whisper was pained and Emily blinked open her eyes.
She was relaxed and deliciously warm but his body was taught and tense beneath her, his heart racing against hers. During the night she’d wrapped her naked body around his craving his heat but now she craved more. Emily’s womb ached with a need she’d never experienced. Something inside of her was telling her this was as right as the sky was blue. She’d never wanted anyone like she wanted this man. Her wet core was already pressed against his hard length and Emily tilted her hips sliding herself against him.
Gasping for breath James shivered and tensed. Emily did it again, growing even wetter when he growled low in his chest as his body shuddered beneath hers. She glanced down and his cock was hot and pulsing against her skin. His sharp nails were shredding the sheets he fisted and pre-cum leaked from his cock. The sight of him losing control was heady and her insides clenched in anticipation. She lifted her head and tortured blue eyes met hers before flashing yellow, his sharp canines lengthening.
“Emily” James gasped. “If you don’t stop I—.” James groaned before his eyes rolled up into his head when she slid his thick cock through her wet folds. “Fuck!” He groaned when she slid against his thick cock again but this time she tilted her hips and took the tip of him inside of her. His hips spasmed and James slid even deeper. “You’re mine.” He growled, his voice was layered with his wolf. He moved to grip her hips but his lust filled expression became panicked. “I’m going to claim you.” He gritted out. “Oh god, tell me to stop or—,” He snarled and he gripped her thighs when her insides clenched around his pulsing cock.
“Or else what?” Emily whispered.
He stared up at her, “I make you mine for always.” He growled.
That’s what she wanted. Emily slid down the rest the way down and cried out at the same time he did. James went wild. He lifted her up only to slam her down while thrusting his hips up at the same time. She could do nothing but hold on and take it as he pistoned himself up into her, his massive cock rubbing every possible inch inside of her and she gripped him tight.
“You’re mine.” He growled over and over.
“Yes!” She answered him and images from her dream assailed her. “Bite me!” She cried out.
James froze before her world spun and she squealed in surprise. In the blink of an eye James was on top of her, deep inside of her, pinning her to the bed. Breathing hard he stared down at her. Why won’t he bite me? The need was an ever growing itch Emily needed scratched. “Please, bite me.” She arched her back trying to touch more of him.
His eyes widened and he growled before he lowered his head pressing his lips to hers. Holding her thighs open he shifted his hips and slowly slid his length almost all of the way out, snarling against her lips before thrusting back inside of her and Emily cried out as sparks of pleasure pulsed through her body. Snarling louder each time, he pounded into her again and again. She wanted him, she wanted his babies, and she wanted this. Whatever this was, she never wanted to let go.
