The wolf in Braedyn surged forward, yearning to connect with the wolf in her. Braedyn worried about hurting Casey. It had been a long time since he’d been with a woman. His failure at finding a mate had made other’s in his pack think him untouchable and uncaring. He had been young when he’d become their leader, and his concern had been the safety and unity of his pack. The first five or ten years he hadn’t been pressured, but the alpha was expected to take a mate whether she be for life or not.
Casey’s cool hands roamed across his chest and shoulders, causing him to shiver.
Wolves loved to be touched and caressed. He had coupled in the past in search for his life mate but never found her. None of his previous lovers touched him the way she did now. It seared through him and caressed his soul, soothing him and the wolf.
The truth was, Braedyn knew who he wanted, life mates be damned.
In the twenty years that followed his father’s death, he’d prayed to meet up with Casey and have the courage to court her. But that had gone out the window when he’d both sensed and felt her desire.
His hands moved across her waist and found the hem of her t-shirt. Her skin felt like warm silk to his cool hands. Braedyn had wanted to touch her like this for so long.
Casey raised her arms as if she felt no pain. His gaze found hers, and saw raw desire in her eyes. Her cheeks were flushed.
She’d been through enough and there was the worry he would cause her more discomfort.
“I don’t want to hurt you,” Braedyn whispered, his mouth grazing hers again.
“I feel no pain,” she assured him, moving her shoulder to prove her point.
He couldn’t resist the slow curve of a smile. “I didn’t mean your shoulder, entirely.”
She traced his lower lip with the tip of her finger. Arching her brow, Casey grinned. “I’m not scared.”
A gentle laugh escaped him at her boldness. She kissed him and groaned when her breasts grazed his chest. Her nipples were puckered from cold and desire. His mouth watered for a taste. He nibbled his way down her neck to suckle and caress them.
Her breathy moan echoed through him. Arching her back, Casey’s fingers combed through his hair, urging him to further explore her body. His dream had finally come true. He was holding the woman he’d dreamt of, and she wanted him.
Moving his hands down her flat tummy, Braedyn toyed with the edge of her simple cotton panties before sliding them down her thighs. With a twist of her ankle, Casey kicked them off.
Unable to contain the deep rumble which rose from his chest, he removed his own shorts. He was aware the growl didn’t frighten her, but only seemed to enhance her desire. Her fingers curled into his hair, pulling him closer.
The struggle with the beast inside was difficult. He tried to be gentle for her sake, not wanting her to look back on their experience as a bad one. She would be the first human he’d ever been with, and until her change tomorrow night, Casey was still human.
Her hands drifted down his back to his waist, pulling him closer. He ground his teeth, feeling the wet warmth of her body open to him. Braedyn fought to control the savage within and not take her in the ferocious manner the wolf demanded. Casey’s hands moved to his face, forcing him to look in her eyes, and then raised her hips to take him.
Hearing her breath catch in her throat when he entered her sent a shiver down his spine. Casey’s eyes closed. The pink tip of her tongue licked her lips. Braedyn grit his teeth, easing further into her. Once fully sheathed, he paused a moment, letting her adjust to his size and relax.
She felt far better than he’d ever imagined and fought a strong battle with his wolf as he sought to claim her. Her body was a perfect fit, like the last piece of a puzzle clicking into place. Clenching his fists, Braedyn willed his body to do his biding.
Closing his eyes, he trailed kisses along her jaw and began a gentle rhythm.
