Alpha King’s Wolfless Mate by Scarlett Higgins

Chapter 93

**Nora POV

I was more than a little excited that Blake had arrived to pick me up from the store. It was such a minor thing, but it made me feel loved. The fact that he had gone out of his way to come get me so that we could walk home together and spendju st a few extra minutes together was very sweet.

The walk was pleasant and we had both avoided bringing up any topics that could spoil our good moods. It was a much needed break from the serious topics that seemed so unavoidable for us in the past few months.

It was good to feel like a somewhat normal couple for once.

I slowed my pace as we approached the front door. I didn’t want to go back to focusing on our responsibilities just yet.

“Where are you headed next?”Iasked Blake.

“I was hoping you were free for awhile,” he said.“I had to reschedule a meeting for later tonight, so I have a few hours to myself. I’d like to spend this unexpected free time with you. Maybe we can have lunch in the garden?”

“I can’t think of any way I’d ratherspend my time,” I answered.

Blake’s l*p quirked up into a smirk. “Really?”he asked teasingly.“Youcan’t think of anything else you’d rather do?”

I raised my eyebrows at him in faux surprise.“No, why? Were you hoping I would suggest something else?”

Blake opened the door for me and grinned.“I was.”

I tried to keep the innocent act up as I entered the house and headed toward the stairs.“Oh?”

He followed closely behind me as we headed toward our bedroom. He was so close that I could feel his b*dy heat and it sent a thrill through me. It had been far too long since we’d had a chance to be intimate. It seemed like everytime we started to touch, someone rushed in with an important letter or Blake was urgently called away on some vital business.

“We’re tempting fate you know,”Isaid as I pushed the bedroom door open.“If we have a nice quiet lunch, nothing will go wrong, but the second we start to undress, someone is going to need us.”

Blake grabbed my wrist and spun me around, pinning me to the door. He k*ssed me with a heat I hadn’t felt from him in ages. Arousal shot through me at the rough contact and I moaned softly.

“I’m the only one in need rightnow,” he growled.

I wrapped my arms around his

n*eck and pulled him down for another k*ss. Blake pressed me into the door and sl*pped his tongue into my mouth.

I slid my hands down Blake’s back and underneath his shirt. He shuddered at the skin contact and growled again. He grabbed my hips and lifted me easily. I wrapped my legs around him and giggled.

He squeezed my ass and nipped my shoulder lightly, drawing another soft moan from me. I held on as Blake walked us across the room and sat me on the edge of the bed. He knelt between my legs and gripped the hem of my pants.

I could feel my face heating up as I watched him slowly pull my pants down my legs. Blake’s eyes were filled with desire as he stared up at me. That smug grin of his was back and it made me want to hide my face.

I must seem so silly blushing from his attention, especially at this

point in our relationship. I lowered my eyes and tried to force myself to calm down. My heart was thundering in my chest and I felt like I was getting breathless already.

Blake surged forward suddenly and pinned me to the mattress. I gasped in surprise and he chuckled.

“I love that I can still make youblush,” he said. He nuzzled my n*eck as he pushed my shirt up.“I love that I can still get you so worked up so quickly.”

“It’s embarrassing,”I argued. I ranmy hands down Blake’s back and pulled him closer.“I feel so silly.”

“It’s adorable,”he corrected.

“Not exactly what I’m trying to bein bed,”I muttered.

Blake chuckled and grabbed my hips.“What do you want to be in bed?”He pulled me into the position he wanted me in, then leaned close to my face.“Show me.”

_

The challenge in his voice spurred me into action. I shoved his shoulder and rolled us over so that I was pinning him down instead. Blake raised a brow in surprise as I straddled his hips. Before I could lose my nerve, I grabbed his cock and guided it into me.

Blake moaned and watched me sink onto him. Judging by the look on his face, he was barely holding back. The thought of making him lose his composure made me shudder.

I leaned forward and k*ssed him, then started rolling my hips. Blake growled and gripped my hips, taking control of my movements. I let him.

He easily moved my b*dy the way he wanted it, maneuvering me like I weighed nothing. I moved with him, doing my best to keep the rhythm. My legs were starting to shake already.

Each thrust pushed me closer to

the precipice and I couldn’t keep myself quiet. I arched my back and moaned deeply as Blake pushed himself up, doubling his speed without warning.

All I could do was wrap my arms around his shoulders and hold on as he slammed into me.

Blake growled again and the sound sent a shiver down my spine. It was a deep, guttural sound. The fact that I could reduce him to this was thrilling. It made me feel strangely powerful.

I bit the side of Blake’s n*eck lightly and he gasped. His hips stuttered and his grip on me tightened.

I grinned.“Do you like it when I bite you?”I asked breathlessly.

“Don’t tease me unless you’re goingto do it again,” he responded.

I was close to an orgasm, and I could tell by the wrecked tone of Blake’s voice that he was close too. I wanted him to finish with me.

Gnapter go

I bit down on the juncture of his shoulder and n*eck and let my teeth sink in. Blake threw his head back and howled.

My legs clamped onto his hips as I orgasmed with a muffled cry. Blake’s b*dy tensed as he reached his finish at the same moment.

For a long moment, we were both completely still. Then, I removed my teeth from Blake’s shoulder and he fell back onto the mattress with a satisfied moan.

I collapsed onto Blake’s chest. We were both panting and overheated, but I wasn’t ready to give up the physical contact yet. Blake must have felt the same because he wrapped his arm around me and held me close.

I rested my head on his chest and focused on calming my breathing. My eyes felt heavy and I worried that I might fall asleep. It probably wouldn’t matter if I did, though. There wasn’t anything that needed

au my immediate attention.

Blake’s arm relaxed around me after a few minutes and the steady rise and fall of his chest told me that he was asleep. I couldn’t begrudge him the rest. Blake had been working so hard lately, I knew that he was exhausted, even if he tried to hide it from everyone else.

There was a time when I wouldn’t have understood his exhaustion. Before I met Blake, I really didn’t appreciate how much work it was to lead a pack. I should have, I was raised by an Alpha and Luna, but I never appreciated how much they did.

Blake’s position was even more complicated than a normal Alpha’s. He wasn’t only responsible for his own pack, he was responsible for the entire kingdom.

I liked to think that I was helping. People really seemed to think that I was. It was surprisingly easy for me to step into the role of Luna once I

stopped overthinking it. It almost came naturally to me.

The thought made me uncomfortable for some reason. Was it natural for me to be a leader? Did it run in my blood?

I had no way of knowing and it haunted me.

I cuddled closer to Blake and he tightened his arm around me. I tried to put the thoughts out of my mind. This was what mattered. I knew for certain that this is where I belonged.
