Look At Your Future (10 page)

Max pulled her shoulders back against his chest; he scooped
up some water and watched as it rolled down her arms and back.  “I wasn’t sure
how you’d feel about my money. Your message you left me yesterday about the
bracelet made me realize that you weren’t driven by it.  I will shower you with
gifts for the rest of your life, so you better get used to it pretty quick.”

Lily giggled as he moved his hands around to cup her
breasts. “So what do I have to do for you in return for all the gifts?”  She
moaned as he massaged her breasts and lightly pinched her tightened nipples.

“Just let me love you Lily.” He pulled her up towards him
and then spread his knees effectively trapping her legs against the sides of
the tub.  He moved one hand down over her belly until he reached her smooth
cleft.  She tried to pull her legs back together, but he held her easily.

“Max!” Lily cried out as he pushed two fingers inside her,
slowly circling her clitoris with his thumb, he moved his other hand down to
her belly and pressed down.  She could feel his erection grinding between the
cheeks of her ass.  He continued to drive her crazy with his fingers, he slowly
stroked one finger over her anus, and he shushed her when she tensed up.

“Have you ever had anal sex before Lily?” He whispered
huskily in her ear.

“Uh…no…oh my…I can’t…your too big,” she finally got out. 
She was so close, all he had to do was touch her a few minutes more and she
would explode.

Max let go of her belly and rubbed the pad of one finger in
lazy circles over her clitoris.  He stuck his thumb inside her and growled as she
bucked against him.  His other finger drifted down and he pressed at the tiny
opening of her anus, he pushed in to the first knuckle and she arched her back
and cried out as she climaxed.  He continued to stroke her, letting her ride
out the waves. He ran his open mouth along her neck, lightly nipping her skin
and he felt her shudder against him.

Max smiled as she relaxed into him again, he picked up a
sponge and squeezed the water out, watching as the little rivulets ran down
between her breasts.  He planned on having her come a few more times before he
let her sleep.

“It’s time to get out of the tub Lily,” he stood up with her
in his arms and then set her down on the matt.  He smiled down at her when he
noticed her chest was still flushed with arousal. She looked up at him and then
down at his erection. It bobbed as she reached out to touch it with her hand. 
She closed her hand around him and squeezed, smiling up at him as she knelt
down to take him inside her mouth.

“I like the way you taste Max, almost as good as your scent. 
I can smell you now; I couldn’t before, but now oh boy.  You smell so good.”

He moaned as she took him deeper inside her mouth.  Her
tongue made some clever movements as she sucked him into the back of her
throat.  She let out a low growl from her throat and he about went off. He
pushed her back and he chuckled when she pouted at him.

“Not tonight sweetheart,” he carried her back to the bed and
set her down on the edge. “Stay right there, I’ve got something for you.” He
went to his dresser and then came back to her.

She didn’t pay much attention to what he had in his hand; she
was too busy looking at his body. She smiled when he came back to her and he
ran his finger along her jaw and tipped her face up to his so he could kiss
her.

“I love you Max.”

“I love you too,” he went down on one knee in front of her
and he ran his hand down her shoulder to her hand. He had a little box open in
his other hand. “Marry me Lily.”

Lily had been watching his face, still in a daze from the
kiss he had given her. She smiled when he told her that he loved her, but what
did he just ask her? She put her hands up to her face and looked at him and
then down at the ring. Oh! She had hoped, but she didn’t know how the wolf
thing worked. The ring was beautiful, a huge sapphire in an antique setting.

“Lily?” Max said.  He gave her a hesitant smile when she
looked up at him with tears in her eyes. “You’ve got me hanging here,
literally.”

“Oh! Max, yes…yes…yes!” Each word she said in between
kisses, and then she threw herself into his arms.  She smiled as she felt him
close his arms around her and she slid down his thigh to straddle his waist. He
kissed her hard and then slid the ring onto her finger. I was a little big, but
they could get it sized.

She looked at the ring on her finger and gave him a watery
smile. He reached up and tenderly wiped the tears from her cheeks.  She looked
so happy; it made him content to know that he had made her feel like this.

“I want to make love to my fiancé,” he said as he stood up,
growling when she wrapped her legs around his waist.

“So what’s stopping you?” Lily laughed when he gently bit
her neck and then they fell down on the bed rolling until she was on the bottom
and he was suddenly inside her. She had forgotten how fast he moved. She soon
was gasping his name and arching against him.

It was hours later when the moon was starting to go down
before he finally let her sleep. They held each other close the rest of the
night, making love together again and again in their dreams.

Lily lay in the grass with one arm cradling her head. It was
such a lovely spring day. She watched the clouds float by and listened to the
birds singing. Her senses were much improved in her human form, but nowhere
near as keen as her wolf form. She closed her eyes as she felt the sun’s rays
caress her body. She wished that she was naked right now, but she had strict
orders from her mother-in-law not to sunbathe naked.

She held up her hand and watched the sparkles in her wedding
ring. Max had given her a diamond band that was specially made to match her
antique engagement ring. It really was very beautiful, there were six diamonds
embedded in the band. Max had teased her that each one represented the bites he
had given her.  He was so proud of himself, having picked it out all on his
own.  He had excellent taste, and of course she loved it, but he could have
given her a ring from a Cracker Jack box and she would have worn it.

He had flown her family to his house in the Caribbean, along
with his own family, and they had exchanged their human wedding wows on the
beach. His parents had entertained everyone for the next few days at a nearby
resort, and her and Max had spent their honeymoon at his house.  They swam in
the ocean at night, played on the beach during the day, and made love whenever
they could, which had been pretty often.  She cried the day they left, she had
loved having him all to herself during their quiet time together, but of course
their jobs were waiting for them at home.

Mark had finally hired a new editor and her hours had
returned to a normal work week, much to Max’s delight, he loved to drive her to
work and pick her up after. He had even let her take his
Aston Martin
to
work one week while he had been away, helping with pack business.

When she was at the house John and Ellen spoiled her.  During
the day while she was at work Max’s assistant Jeremy would text her to see if
she needed anything. She had told Ellen and John not to fuss over her, but she
was secretly pleased. She had started to think of them as foster parents, they
were both becoming so close to her. Even more so now that her and Max had
gotten married.

Mark was starting to run some trials, allowing some of the
editors to work from home.  Since she had taken over Tammy’s duties when she
had left, he made sure she was in on the trials. Right now she only went into
work on Mondays and Wednesdays.  Max was able to work from home sometimes too,
so this worked out perfectly for them.

She had found out a lot more about the history of the pack
from Max’s parents, they doted on her as much as Max did. His mother was always
taking her shopping or out to lunch and his father was teaching her about the
pack history. When she had phased for the second time she had found out that
she had visions. She really didn’t understand how that all worked yet, but they
figured that was why Max could not only hear her thoughts, but see them too.
Nathan had told her not to worry about it; she had a lifetime and then some to
figure it out.  Wolves aged slower than humans, she would never look her true
age.

Lily felt a tingle and opened her eyes to see her white wolf
beside her. “Did you enjoy your run Max?” She laughed as he shook himself and
lay down beside her.  She scratched his ear in the just the right place and he
rolled over onto his back so she could rub his belly.  She laughed again as she
happily complied.  He had told her that every time he phased he had a spot on
his ear that would itch, but he could never reach it; she had teased him that
it was a flea once. She had gotten a nice spanking for that one. After a few
minutes she watched him change back into his human form. She sighed as she
looked up at him as he dressed. She couldn’t decide which way he looked better,
she loved both sides of him, he was so perfect and man he smelled so good. She
could find him anywhere, and now she understood how he had found her that night
so long ago.

Max grabbed a blue flower that grew beside him; the meadow
was full of them this year.  He smiled as he tucked the delicate bloom behind
Lily’s ear and he noticed that it matched the color of her eyes. “Did I tell
you that I love you yet today?” He asked before he leaned down to kiss her.

“Yes…but you can tell me again,” Lily said, she was so
happy. She pulled his hand up to her lips and kissed the palm. She sniffed his
hand and could smell the earth from deep in the forest and maybe some moss.
“Did you go by the stream?” She smiled as he nodded. He had been testing her
lately to see if she could determine special places that he went on his run. He
was training her to sharpen her sense of smell. She sighed as he caressed her
cheek. She grinned and suddenly pulled his hand steadily down her body till it
rested on her gently rounded belly.

He looked a little confused at first and then his eyes
widened and he got a startled look on his face, and then it slowly changed to
wonder. Lily smiled as she looked up at him; the baby had just begun to move
the day before. This was the first time that Max was able to feel it.

“Lily that is so cool.  I hope that you aren’t still
disappointed that you can’t phase right now.  I promise I will take your out as
soon as the baby is born.” He leaned down and kissed the tip of her nose.

“Just a little, but our child is more important. I can feel
him changing every day. Do you think we can head back soon? Ellen promised me
something special for lunch.”

“I think she knows your cravings before you do. Her and John
love to spoil you, just like I do. You are my special girl.” He looked at her
thoughtfully for a moment, “you look happy Lily.  You are so beautiful.”

She looked up at him and smiled, “I am very happy Max, and I
never thought it would be possible to feel this way. I love you so much.”

Max smiled and kissed her gently; he looked at the green
grass and the small blue flowers that grew all around her. This was from his vision
from when he’d first kissed her. His future was happening sooner than they all
thought it would. It had been just a few months after her first phase that they
found out she was pregnant.  She had been totally unprepared since she was
still on the pill.  The pack was surprised, but since she was ‘
the gift’,
no
one questioned it. He would be a father soon, to their son, their first cub. 
Lily had come to him excitedly just a few days ago.  The painting had revealed
not one, but two cubs by her side. One was pure white; just like him and the
other was a cinnamon color just like Lily, very small and delicate.

He smiled as he caressed her belly and leaned down to kiss
the gentle rise. Then he picked her up to carry her home.

“I love you Lily, tell me again, what was my father’s
message?”

Lily smiled and laughed softly as he held her close. She
wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his jaw, now she understood the
message. “Look at your future.” She said huskily as she looked into his eyes
before he kissed her gently.

He was so happy; the fact that Lily was ‘
the gift
’
didn’t matter.  She was his gift, and they would be happy together forever.
