Chapter Eleven

 

Hannah woke up to her mom’s frightened shrieks and almost screamed out loud when she saw the huge figure standing above them before she realized it was Kieran. She let out an audible breath of relief instead of the pent-up scream and laughed when Kieran bent down and scooped her mom off the bed.

“Put me down!” Stephanie demanded as Kieran carried Hannah’s t-shirt-clad mother out of the cabin.

Hannah wasn’t worried. She was pretty sure she knew what her mom was to Kieran. Hannah lay back down, missing her own mate. As if he’d heard her thoughts, Adam walked into the room in all his naked glory. She’d never get tired of seeing Adam naked.

“I think your mom just got claimed,” he said wryly and shut the door behind him. Hannah laughed at the obvious.

“You think so?” she said playfully.

“Oh yeah,” he told her as he climbed onto the bed and held himself above her. He pulled the blankets away from her and she let them go. “You’re wearing my t-shirt.” He didn’t state it as a question, but Hannah nodded anyway. “It’s really hot seeing you in my clothes.” He growled, but she shrugged. She hadn’t worn it to be hot or sexy.

“I missed you. I wanted to smell you,” she said.

His gaze softened, and he lowered his lips to hers.

Hannah relished the closeness when he lowered his weight onto her and gently bit her lower lip before deepening the kiss. Hannah’s body buzzed, and she was desperate to have him closer. She arched against him and tried to touch as much of him as she could.

“You don’t want to wait until after the wedding?” His breath was warm against her neck as he started to kiss her mating mark.  “I wanted to give you more time to rest and heal.”

“We’ve already wasted years, Adam. Don’t you dare stop,” she warned.

“Thank God.” He sat up and helped her pull his t-shirt over her head and tossed it aside. His heated gaze warmed her body as he looked down at her.

“I may not deserve you, but I am one lucky son of a bitch,” he said reverently as his fingers slowly traced their way down her body and left goosebumps as he went. His fingers hooked around the edges of her panties, and she lifted her hips so he could pull them down her legs. He tossed them in the same direction as his shirt, and her breath caught in surprise when he put his hand over her pussy. He slipped his finger between her folds.

“Open up for me, baby.” His voice sounded hoarse as he gently nudged her legs wider so he could settle between them. “I need to taste my mate,” he declared before he lowered his head and licked at her slit. Hannah’s eyes rolled up into her head and her hips moved against her will, but he held her steady as he devoured her. She couldn’t help but cry out, and when he lifted his head and grinned she saw his chin wet with her cream. He sat back and crawled off the bed and held his hand out for her.

“Come with me.”

She took his hand followed him to the couch.

“Bend over and put your hands here.” He touched the arm of the couch. Hannah leaned over and put her hands where he’d instructed her. He moved behind her and squeezed her ass cheeks.

“Are you okay?” he asked. “Is this too much?”

“Yes!” she cried out, and he stilled against her.

“It’s too much.” His voice was worried.

“I’m okay! No, it’s not too much. Please, I need you,” she begged.

“I need you, too, baby.” He slid his warm palm up her back and pushed her down so her head rested on the arm of the couch. With her ass offered up to him, he gently nudged her legs apart, and she could feel him slide the head of his cock up and down her already wet slit.

 He groaned as he rubbed his face against her skin, and she could feel him as he breathed her in. “You’re not ovulating right now.” He nipped at her, and she shivered. “I never want to use a condom with you. I need to feel you. I promise not to come in you while or near when you’re ovulating, at least not until you’re ready. And, um, I should probably tell you, human birth control won’t work with us,” he admitted sheepishly.

“What?” She wasn’t sure how she felt about that. “Do you have super sperm or something?” she asked, only half kidding.

He laughed out loud and hugged her against his naked front. “I do in fact have super sperm.” Adam chuckled. “But no, I think it has more to do with the changes in your own body since you’re bonded to me, I guess, and fate. I’m not sure how it works.” He shrugged and straightened, and Hannah watched as he reached down and slid his fingers through her wetness. He curved his fingers forward and tapped that special spot, and she groaned. Pleasure built, but she needed him inside of her. She was desperate for him and almost sobbed out when he pulled his fingers away before he positioned his cock at her entrance.

“You want me, baby?”

“Yes.” She almost cried tears of relief when he finally slid his cock inside of her. “Oh, God!” She’d never felt him so deep before, and every thrust hit that one spot that sent her higher towards ecstasy. Her insides started to quiver and spasm around him as pleasure built in her middle.

“That’s it, baby, remember what I said. Just let it go.”

She glanced behind her, Adam had her cheeks spread and stared down at where they were joined. He’s so handsome, she thought. When he lifted his head, his eyes were yellow, and she clenched down uncontrollably hard on his cock as pleasure and ecstasy rippled through her. The evidence of him being so close to losing control caused an orgasm to wash through her so hard her legs wobbled and she screamed when she came. Unable to hold herself upright, she fell forward against the couch and inadvertently slid off his cock. A great gush of wetness rushed out of her pussy and ran down her legs.

“Oh, fuck yes, baby. Come all over my cock.” He lifted her hips back up and thrust back inside of her. If he hadn’t held her up she would have fallen to the floor. Her legs shook from the remnants of her last orgasm, only to have another build to an overwhelming crescendo with just a few deep thrusts.

“Oh God, Adam!”

“Come with me, Hannah,” Adam and his wolf growled out, and she did.

Her pussy fluttered and spasmed around his cock as he pulsed, shooting his cum deep inside of her. She shivered, suddenly cold, when he leaned down and wrapped his arms around her. He kissed her shoulder and gently pulled out of her. He picked her up, and his yellow eyes never left hers as he carried her back to their bed.

“My mate.”

His eyes flickered and swirled with his wolf, looking otherworldly as she stared into them. She lifted her hand to his cheek. They were beautiful.

“My mate and my husband.” She knew it was true. She could feel it in her soul that they were bound. As far as Hannah was concerned tomorrow really was just a show for her mom.

“I love you so much, Hannah. I don’t deserve you.” His voice sounded thick.

“I love you, and yes, you do. You’re mine, and I’m yours.” She pulled him down and crushed her lips to his.

****

“Just sign here. I now pronounce you husband and wife,” the county clerk announced to cheers. His mate grinned up at him, and Adam couldn’t help but smile back.

“Wife.” Adam leaned down and gave his wife a chaste kiss.

“Husband,” she whispered against his lips. “We’re next,” Kieran called out, pulling a wide-eyed Ms. Martin toward the clerk’s desk.

“Whoa!” Stephanie tugged on Kieran’s arm, and he stopped and looked at her. His bear looked so confused Adam couldn’t help but feel for him. “I like you, Kieran.” She lowered her voice. “I like you a lot. But there is no way I’m going to marry someone I just met. And,” she poked her finger in Kieran’s chest, “you didn’t even ask me.” She crossed her arms.

Obviously dumbfounded, Kieran turned to John with a questioning expression on his face. The Alpha just shook his head as if he were admonishing a five year old, and Adam tried not to laugh out loud when the fact that he’d just fucked up dawned on Kieran. He pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes. Everyone was trying not to laugh, including their Alpha.

“You’re still mine,” he told her gruffly, his eyes silver with his bear.

Hannah sighed happily, and Adam pulled her into him as they watched the drama unfold, but Ms. Martin surprised him. She reached out and took Kieran’s hands in hers.

“Give me some time to get to know you and then you can ask me. Okay?”

He grunted and turned towards the clerk. “We’ll be back,” Kieran told him assuredly before they left the clerk’s office.

They walked out of the courthouse hand in hand as man and wife, and Adam was euphoric. He grabbed Hannah, who squealed out in surprise. Surrounded by their new pack and family, he leaned her back and kissed his wife deeply.

“Geez, you two, at least wait until we get back to the cabin!”

Laughing, Adam let a smiling, flushed Hannah back up. “Well then, we better hurry,” Adam called out playfully.

“We are going out to dinner first,” Stephanie announced.

“You heard her. We’re eating,” Kieran ordered, and Stephanie gave him a big smile.

Everyone, including the Alpha, chuckled at that, and it hit Adam hard how lucky he really was. He was so thankful to be here. Hillbrooke pack never had this level of camaraderie. The wolves of Deliverance were a different breed altogether. No one in his old pack would have dared speak up and order their alpha to eat, even in jest.

“I’m actually starving.” Hannah spoke up.

“Food!” The guys started calling out, laughing their group started towards the parking lot.

“McClintock!” A man wearing a Sheriff’s uniform jogged down the courthouse steps after them. Adam was immediately on alert, his hackles up until John and the man embraced in a man hug.

“I’m so glad I caught you guys while you’re in town.” He turned towards Adam and Hannah “Congratulations and welcome.” Adam and Hannah murmured their thanks.

“It’s good to see you, Mike. What can I do for you?”

“Well, John, we have a situation.”

****

Hannah groaned when Adam pulled out of her, her insides still pulsing and twitching. He came back a moment later and gently wiped her clean before he threw the towel aside and lay back down next to her. He’d done his best to try to make her forget her worries, but now that she wasn’t mindless, they bubbled to the surface.

“That poor family.” Hannah snuggled closer to Adam. “If they’re shifters how can they get lost?”

“Anyone can get disoriented, Hannah, even shifters. The forest is huge. Maybe someone got hurt? Honestly it does sound a little suspect for a whole family of wolves to go missing like that. Especially someplace the Sheriff said they were already familiar with. I think that’s why they asked John for Deliverance pack’s help. Something must have happened.”

“I feel bad. We should be out there with everyone helping look for them.”

“Hannah, it’s our wedding night, and it’s dark out. It’s not your fault they’re lost, and I’m not going to risk you out there. We’ll head out and help first thing in the morning okay?”

Hannah sighed. She really did want to be out there helping, but she could see Adam wasn’t going to relent. “Well, I hope they’re okay out there.” Hannah shook her head and sighed.

“I was so surprised the Sheriff was a wolf. Anyone can be a shifter, can’t they? I wonder how many I’ve met and never knew what they were?”

Adam hugged her. “Probably a few.”

Hannah burrowed into his embrace; she couldn’t get close enough to him.

“You have no idea how much I love you, Adam.”

“I might have an idea.” He gave her a crooked smile.

“I have never been so thankful to be kidnapped in my life.”

His eyes flashed yellow with his wolf. “And we’d do it again in a heartbeat.”

“Well, you can’t really kidnap what belongs to you.” Hannah pressed her lips to his.

“Mine,” he growled.

“Yours,” she agreed.
