Carol’s Mate: Chapter Five

Carol stiffened, and he thought he’d made a mistake. Then she released a small, sexy growl and kissed him back. Her mouth opened, and he immediately thrust his tongue inside. Her taste went to his head so fast he became light-headed as all the blood in his body pooled to his dick. He was painfully hard in seconds.

Mark shifted her so her back rested against the rear car door, gripped her by that ass that one day he wanted to take his time and savor, and lifted her until her sex cradled his hardness. He ground against her, letting her feel in graphic detail just how much he desired her. He forgot they were in a well-lit parking lot and anyone could be watching. He slid his hands lower and inward, separating her thighs so he could settle closer. Then he brushed the inseam of her jeans, and the heated moisture he felt scorched him.

She arched into him, riding his cock while making hungry little noises, and his sanity slipped a notch. Mark felt the sharp bite of her nails dig into his shoulders seconds before she shoved him hard enough he stumbled back a couple of steps, releasing her completely. He immediately reached for her again.

“No,” she cried out sharply. “We can’t… I can’t…” She closed her eyes, took a deep, shuddering breath, and seemed to fight with herself. Her hands, which hung by her sides, were fisted so tight, he could see the veins straining.

He wasn’t in too much better shape himself. A little more and he’d have taken her where they stood. He’d never gotten so out of control so fast with a woman. Mark took an additional step back and turned partially away, giving both of them the space they needed.

When Carol finally opened her eyes, he was breathing a bit easier and didn’t feel like his cock was going to burst through his zipper at any moment. “This can’t happen again,” she said evenly.

“But…”

“You promised,” she reminded him.

Mark reluctantly nodded, afraid to open his mouth lest he beg her to reconsider.

She slid into the driver’s seat and, before closing the door, looked at him. “I’m sorry.” The hell of it was, he knew she really meant it.

It was a poor comfort as he watched her drive off, leaving him with the worst case of blue balls he’d ever experienced. After that incident, he tried to forget about her, interest himself in other women. It did no good. He went out on a few dates, but his cock refused to come to life for anyone else. The thought of her made him hard as a rock. Let another woman get close, and he went limp as a rag…

“Mark!”

“Yes, baby?” he responded absently, mind still in the past.

“I asked if you had the turkeys ready to fry.” Carol gazed at him in the mirror as she put one of the small diamond stud earrings he’d given her as an anniversary gift in her right ear.

He smiled at her. “Don’t worry, babe. Me and Alex, we got it all under control.” His wife was something of a control freak, but he loved her anyway, even with her OCD tendencies.

Mark moved behind her and placed his hand on her stomach. “I want you to relax and take it easy today. Remember you’re carrying our baby.”

She rolled her eyes. “I’m a wolf-shifter. We’re tough. Besides, with Mona and Tom here, we’re going to have the entire pack running in and out of the house all day long. There will be too much for me to do to simply sit around taking it easy.”

“Yeah, well, I was human, and this is my first child. Take it easy for my sake, and I’ll make it worth your while.” Left unsaid was the reminder of what had happened to her mom. Carol was in such a good mood he didn’t want to spoil it, even though these days the thought was never far from his mind.

“Really?” She arched an eyebrow. “How you going to accomplish that?”

He unsnapped her jeans with his left hand and sent his right seeking inside her panties for her clit. The scent of her instant arousal perfumed the air as he lightly stroked her in the manner he knew drove her crazy. Her earring tumbled to the floor as her hands dropped to rest on top of his and her body slumped against him.

He watched in the mirror as her face went slack, her eyelids heavy as she rocked on his questing fingers. He loved how sensual she was. “How’s this, baby? Is this enough of an incentive to do as I ask?”

“Almost,” she gasped. “I think I need a little bit more persuasion.”

“My pleasure. Bend over and brace your arms on the dresser.” He pushed her jeans and panties down to her ankles, then loosened his belt and unzipped his pants, shoving them to his knees.

Moving into position behind her, Mark entered her slowly, watching for any signs of discomfort. Penetration was deeper in this position, and with her pregnancy, he wasn’t sure how much she could handle. He rode her slow and easy, taking his time.

“Harder, baby,” she commanded.

“Not yet. You give me what I want, and I’ll give you what you need.”

She groaned and shuddered in a way that signaled he’d hit a particularly sensitive spot. He did it again and again until she was panting and pleading with him. It was all he could do to hold back. “Promise me, babe. Promise me you won’t overdo today.”

“Yes, yes! I promise.”

The beast in him growled in satisfaction at her surrender. His mate may have been a shape-shifter longer than him, but he was more dominant. Sometimes his wife forgot and Mark had to prove he was wolf enough to force her to submit, but he always did it in ways they both found enjoyable.

He let go of her hips, allowing her to thrust back on his cock, trusting her not to take more than was comfortable for her. With one hand, he tweaked a nipple while with the other, he rolled her clit. It didn’t take long for her to erupt.

He immediately pulled out.

“You’re not going to come?” she asked in disbelief, gazing at him in the mirror.

He gave her a feral grin. “Tonight, if you’re good, I’ll come.”

She closed her eyes on a moan, and he could smell her pussy release a flood of moisture. He gave a low hum of satisfaction. The longer he delayed his release, the longer and harder he’d ride her when he finally let himself go.

Hearing a vehicle in the driveway, Mark adjusted his pants. “They’re here. I’ll go let them in.”
