In the Alpha’s Arms

Taste, Triggers, and Trust

“You heard what I said,” she madged her forehead to his chest. I want you to do it. Take me. Make me yours. Make me forget every time I felt weak because I have you and you make me strong. Taking his mouth again, she licked the seam, waiting for him to open for her. She said to those lips, “You’re the only man I would give my free will to. You would never betray that. I fucking trust you. My mate- she tightened her leg hold. “My Alpha. My love.”

Cole lost all sense of reason at her words. Midnight howled his feral pleasure so loud Cole thought his head would split. Did she understand what she was saying? Of course, she did. Her mother had used that tone to control her for years. She knew what it was to give that fight up. His chest ached, wobbling in an unfamiliar way. Her trust in him was humbling and sexy. The thought of her glistening, thoroughly kissed lips asking him to make her

his…

Lita’s complete submission called to every deep, dark Alpha male part of his being. There was no coming back now. He was still reeling as she kissed him again. Blood roared in his ears then flushed down to his cock, making him lightheaded. His mate was giving him everything… all he had to do was take it. She wanted him to take it. Wrapping his hand around the back of her neck, he took over the kiss, Eghting her tongue with his. He won, opening her up as his need to consume her grew. So fucking soft he thought as he sucked each lip and delved back in. How long had it been since he tasted her?

Too long. His hands itched to undress her, to bury himself inside her in a single thrust. Unable to see a thing, Cole should have been frustrated but all he felt was excitement. The thrill of knowing what he felt for his mate.

Pulling his mouth away, Cole took a step back. “Remove my shirt.” His Alpha tone reverberated in the small walk–in closet, momentarily jarring until the magic of it settled in his bones. The air shifted as Lita stood straighter. He heard her gasp, scented the kick of adrenaline. For a second he worried he d made another mistake but alongside the adrenaline, there was another scent. The sweet musk of her arousal. Her palms brushed over his torso, the sensation so sudden in the dark he almost jumped. Instead, he clenched his jaw as she felt him up. She searched for the hem of the material, probably more than she needed to. Her soft fingertips dragged across his abs as she raised the shirt over his head.

Lita purposefully grazed the mark over his nipple with one of her nails, eliciting a rough sound

“Remove the rest,” he said gruffly, tingling with dominance and throbbing through his shorts. She did as he commanded until he was bare. Taking her by the shoulders, he spun them around until his back was against the wall she’d just been pressed against. It was still warm. He hesitated to tell her what he wanted. It was strange removing her free will even if it’s what she asked for. Cole knew she was enjoying it, the smell of her soaked panties making him desperately hard.

But even though his wolf was reveling in the dominance, his human heart was having a hard time letting go. As if she could sense his reservations, Lita leaned in to kiss her mark, nibbling his nipple gently. Her hands caressed his chest, then his abs, ghosting over his thighs in a circular motion.

“On your knees, mate.” Cole could hear her heart rate spike as she lowered. He didn’t give her any other commands, seeing what she would do on her

The first pass of her tongue made Cole throw his head into the wall. He felt the drywall give but he didn’t give a shit. He’d patch it. Lita was purposefully leaving her hands off him so he couldn’t anticipate where she was. When she closed her lips over the head, sucking the precum away, every doubt disappeared and his hands reflexively went to the back of her head. Threading his fingers roughly, he gave himself permission to take complete control

“Open,” he growled, kicking his legs out slightly for leverage against the wall. Wider. His harsh inhale burned as she took him. Lita’s hands slid up the back of his thighs, gripping his ass as she took more.

“Fuck, baby,” he hissed, the exhale somehow even sharper than the inhale had been. His chest burned. The more she worked him over, the more tense his muscles grew, Lita was relentless, Einding a deep, soul–sucking rhythm that had him hanging on for dear life. A tingling heat built at the base of his spine as she slipped him in and out of her perfect mouth.

He groaned long and hard, gasping as she hit the back of her throat, her blunt teeth raking over his sensitive skin. “It’s too fucking good, baby. Relax your throat and don’t move. His command felt like electricity running over his skin, raising the hairs on the back of his neck. Taking over, he bottomed out. The feel of her lips kissing his pelvis with each choked thrust had his balls drawn tight. Fuck it was all too much. lita’s nails dug into his skin, the scent of her making him crazy as he came hard, not giving a shit about the sounds he made.

Cole pulled out, slumping against the wall as he struggled to remember his own name. His heart threatened to leave his chest. His legs were weak and unsteady. Had ever cum that hard in his life? Lita still knelt on the ground. Still submissive and unable to move. Even in the dark with his eyes completely blown, he could tell she trembled with desire. Micro–movement in the air told him how badly she wanted to release.

Without another second of hesitation, he hauled her up on the opposite wall and stripped her bare, “I release you, baby,”

Lita gasped, her body spasming as she regained control of herself. She moaned when his fingers slicked between her legs, “Cole.” Shaking her head, Lita gmund herself against his hand. He was losing himself again, going to some distant, dominant part of his brain and he lifted her thighs onto his shoulders and went to his knees,
