429 The Two Great Wolves
He caught her scent, it was faint, but hers was unlike any other.
It lingered at his snout, reaching down inside of him and stoking the flames of his desire. Caleb howled into the night, more determined than ever to follow that enticing aroma and claim his prize.
Ashleigh ran through the trees; she could feel him in the distance. Searching, sniffing, hunting. Her heart was racing. Part of her wanted him to catch her, but the wolf inside demanded that he earn it.
They skirted each other around the trees for a long time. She would catch glimpses of his dark red fur, and then he was gone.
Her bright white fur made it easy for him to find her among the snowless terrain, but her speed and determination kept her far enough from him that she could make an escape.
Their scent was mingling together in the air around them. It was no longer distinguishable from each other.
Ashleigh moved carefully above a small rock alcove. Just as she was about to jump down, she saw him. Caleb stepped out from the alcove, sniffed the air, and let out a growl.
She smiled internally. He was getting frustrated that he couldn’t track her scent anymore.
He took another two steps forward, and Ashleigh prepared to strike. She jumped at him, and he turned, but it was too late. Her front paws landed hard against his back, and they rolled together.
They quickly recovered, and the two great wolves stared each other down, snarling and lowering their ears. Each demanding the other to back down.
Caleb bit at her. But, Ashleigh pulled back and then dove forward, nipping at his leg.
They charged at each other. Caleb grabbed hold of the back of Ashleigh’s neck, clamping down on her with his strong jaws. She let out a soft yelp, but he didn’t let go.
Ashleigh felt a surge of defiance. She would not give in.
A thick, suffocating cold poured out of her. Caleb jumped back, letting her go as the cold tried to crawl into his lungs. He growled at her. The moonlight shone brightly from her eyes.
Ashleigh stood tall, pushing more of her energy toward him. He took a step back. Inside her mind, Ashleigh smiled.
Caleb felt the icy touch of her presence. It wrapped around his legs and slipped between his fur, sending a deep chill through his bones.
He snarled and pushed back against the cold with his own power. The heat melted away the frost that tried to penetrate his lungs.
He took a step toward her, shattering the cold between them.
Ashleigh snarled, pushing even more of her power at him.
Caleb felt her will pressing against his own. She was strong, and on another day, she may have been able to break through. But, he had been holding back for days. Pushing down on all his desires, his longing, and his need.
This woman was his. Her wolf was his. He would claim her tonight or die trying.
Caleb took a deep breath and shifted back into his human form, standing straight and staring back at the great white wolf before him. Her moonlit eyes dared him to bend her will.
He pushed the full force of his desire back at Ashleigh. He poured his every thought of her. His every fantasy into his will and sent it toward her like a wave.
His power crashed over her.
Ashleigh gasped. She had expected fire, force, something violent. But instead, the heat she felt was entirely her own.
The strength of his desire forced her to shift back into her human form. She took a deep, shaky breath as he hovered along the surface of her skin, teasing her with a continuous electrical current that flowed into her.
Ashleigh’s breath caught in her throat as she felt him moving over her tenderly as though it were his hands caressing every part of her at once. With each phantom touch, she licked her lips as her heart pounded in her chest.
The heat inside her belly grew into an uncontrolled fire stretched out to her fingertips and toes.
There was nothing she could do to push back against him, to stop his overwhelming presence from drawing soft moans and gasps from her lips as her body reacted to him. Nor did she want to, as she felt the heat and need between her legs growing stronger.
Caleb took a step toward her. In that step, the power that touched her grew and became solid against her.
Ashleigh cried out and reached a hand to the tree to stabilize herself as her knees grew weak from the increased sensitivity of her body.
He was touching her. His hands, his mouth, they were all over her body. Ashleigh let out ragged breaths as she looked up into his glowing grey eyes. He was still several feet in front of her, but she could feel his tongue twisting around her nipples as his long thick fingers stroked along her slit.
Caleb let out a growl as he watched her reaction.
Her face was red, her eyes glassed over, and she took tiny, desperate breaths.
Her pheromones called to him like a siren in the night. Her excitement had his mouth watering at the thought of tasting her.
With a low growl, Caleb pushed even more of himself over her.
Ashleigh howled out as the wave of energy poured against her. Those phantom hands moved inside her while gently massaging her swollen bud. His phantom lips wrapped around her nipple, sucking and biting at her breast. The pleasure was more than she could take.
She turned against the tree to hold her up as the climax took hold and her knees shook with the force of her orgasm.
Caleb watched with hunger and bit down on his lower lip. At the same time, his hand moved along his shaft, stroking it absent-mindedly as he watched his lover done in by his presence alone.
Ashleigh took deep heavy breaths as she held tightly to the tree.
His power was still stretched over her, touching her, teasing her. But she needed more.
Ashleigh looked over her shoulder at the man she loved, the wolf she craved.
Caleb growled at the sight of her. Her hands were up against the tree, staring back at him with her hair wild and loose around her face. She lowered her chest and pushed her ass toward him, showing him how much she had enjoyed his power over her.
“Make me yours, my Alpha…â€� she whispered with a soft moonlight in her eyes, her voice thick with yearning.
He took a deep breath and kept himself from running forward and burying himself inside of her right then and there.
Caleb got down on his knee behind her. He ran his tongue up against her thigh, drinking in her juices.
Ashleigh gasped as his tongue moved further and ran along her already sensitive folds. She hadn’t expected him to use his mouth on her.
Caleb’s tongue danced within her folds, tasting her again and again, drinking in her musky sweetness. He sucked on her swollen bud, drawing a gasping moan from her lips and a shuddering through her body as he did so.
Once satisfied with his feast, he pulled away from her, replacing his mouth with his hand to keep the pleasure she was feeling building. Ashleigh was already panting and rocking against him as the excitement mounted inside her.
Caleb stood and lined himself up with her. He moved his hand out of the way and brushed his thick shaft against her opening. Ashleigh gasped; the sensation was pleasing, but the anticipation of how close he was to filling her pushed her over the edge.
He wrapped his arm around her waist, keeping her upright as she came again, her hot liquid spilling over him. Caleb reached down, running his hand over himself, spreading her wetness across his shaft. As Ashleigh was starting to come down from her second climax, he plunged deep inside her.
Ashleigh was still recovering. Her body was still reacting to the overwhelming pleasure as he filled her up, and her walls tightened around him. She let out a guttural groan as he reached the places deep within her that only he could.
Her hands slipped from the tree, and her knees gave out. Caleb held her and kept her from falling over. He lowered her to her hands and knees. Not giving her a chance to recover before he positioned himself behind her and began to thrust.
Ashleigh panted heavily as every movement pushed him further in. She felt both a desperate need to feel him moving faster and harder inside her and exhaustion from the successive orgasms.
But as tired as she was, she still loved every movement he made, every sound that echoed between them.
Her heart raced, and her lungs burned as he kept hitting the spot that made her toes curl and her body rock back against him, urging him deeper.
Caleb felt the change. He felt her desire and need flowing into him through their bond. He growled and leaned his body over her, his chest pressing to her back. He ran his tongue along the mark on her shoulder, and she shuddered in response.
Ashleigh exposed her throat, offering him easier access to the mark. The powerful hunger inside of her grew and grew. The pleasure that was building was spreading over her. Every nerve in her body ached for release. Every cell reacted to him.
She heard a howl deep inside her mind, and then she felt her own power being released, her cold and suffocating presence pouring out of her.
Caleb felt the connection between them. He felt their wolves calling to each other. He took a deep breath and pushed on his own power as a howl inside of him echoed through his mind.
With a final thrust, he bit down on her mark as their powers mingled and sparked along their skin.
Caleb and Ashleigh held tightly to each other as they reached their peak, as they fulfilled their need, and their minds went blank from the sheer force of their release.
