Fate and Fury

Jacque silenced him with her lips as she kissed him deeply. When she pulled back, again she nipped his collar bone as punishment for his doubt.
There is no one better for me. Not in this realm or any other.
Fane pressed his forehead to hers and breathed in her scent. Then his eyes found his bite mark from the blood rites ceremony and he growled. He kissed down her face to her neck. When he reached the mark, he kissed it gently and then gave into his wolf.
Jacque gasped as she felt Fanes teeth sink into her tender flesh and as quickly, as the pain had started it was gone. A rush of pleasure brought another gasp from her and then a deep, throaty moan. She gripped him tightly as she felt the pull of his mouth and she smiled as she heard him sigh in contentment. He liked the way she tasted, she heard his thoughts loud and clear, and it only made the experience that much more intense and intimate. Finally, he released her and licked her neck tenderly. He kissed the bite several times before he nipped her ear and growled. Mine.
I think youve established that wolf-man, she teased.
Want to reciprocate? He asked her as he tilted his head to the side giving her a clear view of his neck. He wanted her bite, wanted his scent running through her veins, but he knew that his Jacquelyn was a very private person. The only reason she had let him bite her was because she had felt his need. She had compromised, since they couldnt make love, she submitted to his bite instead.
I want to, you know I do. Jacque pleaded for him to understand. She wasnt rejecting him.
I know love, I know you do. Its not fair of me to ask it of you when I know how you feel about it.
Its just so intimate. I feel I might as well be standing here naked. She laughed at her insecurity and reveled in the laugh that erupted from Fane.
As much as that idea appeals to me, I wouldnt want others to see you so I can understand why you dont want others to see you bite me. It is intimate and under normal circumstances I would not have done that here.
I know, she told him with a smile, but Im glad you did. Its calmed your wolf.
Yes, he agreed. He definitely feels more secure with you at the moment.
Are you going to lose it again?
Fane knew she was teasing, but the truth was he didnt know. It was a possibility and so he wouldnt lie to her.
I dont know.
She kissed him gently before stepping back, but keeping hold of his hand.
Okay, we will cross that bridge when we get there, she shrugged then as she turned to pull him towards the others, or fall off.
Thanks for the vote of confidence babe, he muttered.
Jacque laughed, If worse comes to worseIll just have to let you ravish me like a caveman.
Fane growled, Dont tempt me.
The others were waiting for them just over a hill. The camp had been packed up and they were ready to be on the move again.
Did you finally give in and just let him have his way with you, Red? Jen asked, with a wicked grin.
Decebel, who had an arm wrapped around her, pulled her tighter and growled.
Relax B. Youll get your roll in the hay soon.
Decebel leaned down and nipped her neck sharply. Youre writing checks, Jennifer.
Yeah, yeah that I cant cash. I get it, but maybe rough is what Im aiming for Dec, ever think about that? She rounded on him and raised a single eye brow in challenge.
You really want to do this now? He growled at her.
Good grief, Peri groaned, as she rubbed her forehead. The Great Luna, save us from horny, dominant werewolves, and the mates that are determined to push them over the edge they are precariously perched on.
Vasile stepped forward so that he stood where he could see the whole group. He let his power loose and watched as one by one the wolves dropped to their knees; all except Decebel and Gavril. Gavril willingly went to his knees of his own choice, but Decebel remained standing.
I know you all are feeling a bit territorial with your mates. I understand that you feel the need to connect with them, to reestablish your claim and bond, but you are not pups to be ruled by your needs and desires. You will pull yourselves together, you will hold it together until we are safe, and you have a private room to lose it. Are we clear?
Rumbles of agreement met his waiting stare and after several moments of Vasiles intense gaze, he pulled his power in and let them up.
Some of the tension that had been growing between the males abated, though not completely.
Okay, let me catch you up to speed, Peri began speaking. The Great Luna had the Fae council send out the call to the packs. She is not asking politely for you all to unite, she is demanding it. They should already be gathering and hopefully by the time we make it back to the mansion they will be there and in one piece.
Vasile rubbed his brow as worry seeped into him. Skender is in charge right now, and though he is dominant, he is no match for an Alpha, let alone eleven of them.
Skender is diplomatic, Vasile, Decebel assured him. He can keep the peace. Not to mention, Dillon Jacobs will be there. He is levelheaded and smart, and should be able to curb any violence.
Vasile let out a deep breath and though he knew Decebels words to be true, he also knew that Alphas didnt mix, no matter how levelheaded or diplomatic they might be.
