The Guardian Alpha (8 page)

She grinned as he reacted to her touches. Her core trembled, especially as she edged closer to Jay's waistband.

“What are you smiling about?” The word rumbled through Jay's chest, his eyes opening halfway. He stared down at her, gaze hot and dark with desire. Kristi shifted, the heat in her lower belly bubbling under Jay's leer.

His amusement licked at Kristi's thoughts. He knew exactly what she was smiling about. She propped herself up, sliding her hand over his growing erection. Through his pants, Kristi squeezed his member, eliciting a moan from Jay's lips. She smiled against his ear as she murmured, “I'm smiling, because you're putty in my hands.”

He couldn't argue against her words. He felt like mush in the palm of her hand, especially when her fingers massaged at his cock through his pants. His fingers dug into the ground beneath her head. Involuntarily, his hips bucked against her touch. Her smile grew and something inside Jay bristled playfully.

He growled under his breath, leaning up on his knees. Jay's hands shot to Kristi's collar. She gasped as a tearing sound hissed through the air. Cool air brushed over her naked breasts, moonlight spilling across her skin. Her nipples tingled as Jay's eyes roved over her body. His hazel-grey gaze lapped over her body. Her lungs seared with hormones; her breathing hitched as Jay drank in the sight of her. His lips twitched into a crooked smirk.

Mischief ruffled through Kristi, retaliation for his smug expression. She pulled herself into a sitting position, mashing her lips against Jay's. As she collided with him, she popped the button from his pants and tore the zipper down. Her hand slipped beneath the jeans and under his boxers, his hard heat twitching against her palm. Jay groaned loudly against Kristi's lips as she forced him to his back, climbing atop him.

Together, they tugged the jeans down and off Jay's leg, leaving him bare beneath his Mate. The moon framed Kristi against the sky, her dark tresses catching the moonlight. The curves of her body caught the rays, making her all the more enticing. She stared down at him, with a pleased grin on her face and impishness in her narrow-eyed gaze.

Kristi moved, crawling over Jay's body. Her breasts dragged across his chest and tempted his mouth. Before he could catch her nipple between his lips, she had swung off him. He grunted, confused and taken aback by the sudden departure. His bewilderment was sent running as she straddled his face, backwards.

A groan sifted through Jay's lips as her thighs pressed to his cheeks, the scent of her dizzying. Kristi leaned forward, drawing her lips closer to his erect cock. Her hot breath played over the swollen head of his member and Jay swallowed another groan. He wasn't about to let her have complete reign over him.

Jay's tongue flicked out, wiggling between her moist lips. Kristi gasped and moaned, her own lips falling to the tip of his cock. He held her hips as he worked his tongue along her slit, enjoying her taste and the subtle writhing of her muscles. Kristi smiled around his cock, her moaning vibrations making Jay twitch beneath her.

Pleasure and delight beat through their veins. Each moan, each little shift, each gasp scattered tingles along their limbs. Kristi's thighs tensed and relaxed against Jay's cheeks. Her pussy throbbed around his tongue, becoming wetter and wetter. With her scent flanking him, Jay's desires flared insistently. He wanted his Mate, he wanted her under him or atop him, he wanted her bouncing on his cock and his name laced into her moans. His fingers twitched against her hips.

She shuddered, feeling his desires and fantasies streak across her mind. The very thoughts brought premature glee. With his cock throbbing in her mouth, Kristi could almost feel him inside her. Delight raced down her body, making her shiver. Her toes curled as her imagination worked in tandem with Jay's thoughts. Her heart pounded in her chest and she writhed against Jay's lips.

Her mouth desperately bobbed up and down his cock, drawing him deeper into her with every round. Her moans sent ricochets of pleasure to his very core. His balls tightened eagerly while his cock continued to pulse and throb in Kristi's hot, supple mouth, but it didn't compare to her pussy. An ache ran through Jay's thoughts.

He wanted her trembling atop him, though. He didn't want to be under her control. His fingers crawled over her thighs, seeking the hidden, swollen nub. Jay found her clit and, just as his fingertips gingerly trailed around it, Kristi gasped. Her body shuddered, hard, and she moaned against his cock. Jay continued to suck on her lower lips and tongue her inner core, lapping her essence.

Her fingers dug into the earth, her whole body slowly being consumed by shudders. She continued to lap and suckle along his cock, drawing a few soft groans from his lips, until it was too much.

Pleasure pounded against her insides. She needed to relieve it. She shoved herself upright, sitting atop Jay's face. Her hips gyrated against his talented mouth while her thighs trembled. She threw her head back and moaned to the sky, loud and uninhibited.

Jay returned the moans, the vibrations tickling along Kristi's sex. She gasped and whimpered and mewled as the red-hot pleasure crested inside her. The feelings hovered over the edge, taunting and frustrating Kristi.

A harsh gasp tore from her lips, her body seizing and trembling as a wave of satisfaction careened through her. Kristi moaned, screwing her eyes shut as her toes curled. Jay groaned against her swollen pussy as it clenched tightly against his tongue. Her thighs quivered against his jawline and she gasped down breaths.

As Kristi recuperated from her orgasm, Jay groaned. His cock twitched, eagerly. The playful dominance flared in him. His hands shifted to Kristi's hips lifting her up and off his mouth. Her relaxed body jerked as she found herself tilting forward. Yelping, she braced herself against the ground finding herself on hands and knees. Behind her, Jay growled, possessiveness and power licking out from his thoughts. A shudder raced down Kristi's spine as his palms traced over her curves.

His palm ghosted down her hips, her thighs, and trailed back, rubbing softly at her rear. Her heart hiccupped. Her core trembled, waiting for Jay's stinging slap. Except it didn't come. Her toes curled as every second passed, her body tensing in preparation.

He grinned, watching her body coil in on itself as she waited for him. His palm made its way up her thighs, his nails teasing her trembling flesh. She swallowed a whimper. His slow movements baited her hormonal frustration.

Jay's lids lowered, his demand rumbling through his chest, “Show me.”

“Wha‒” Kristi's eyes widened as Jay’s demands took form in her mind. Her flush deepened, realizing what he wanted. She licked her lips and pressed her chest to the ground, bringing her ass higher in the air for Jay's viewing pleasure. Kristi slid her hand beneath her, her fingers trailing down her front until they made it to her swollen sex. Cold air teased across her pussy lips as she smoothed her slit open.

Jay let out a pleased groan, the head of his cock twitching to her exposed sex. She bit her bottom lip as she worked her fingers against herself. She wanted to tempt Jay into action. He allowed her to stroke herself, her deft fingers forcing delightful twitches to resonate across her body. His cock throbbed and pulsed, so close to her wet, warm pussy. Pressure and heat built up. Finally, Jay couldn't hold off any longer.

His cock nudged her fingers away and he thrust fully into Kristi. She gasped, his cock stretching her, filling her with firm heat. Her toes curled as a mewl weaseled from her lips. Oh, she had missed this – this sense of fullness that she had lost when he left. Passion skimmed across her skin and sunk into her core. As she writhed and rocked back against Jay, he worked up a steady rhythm. He forced himself deeper and harder into her, clenching his eyes shut.

It had been too long, Jay realized. His cock throbbed happily in Kristi's wetness, missing her heat and the way her walls clenched around his member. His fingers curled against her hips, nails digging into her sides.

She let out a moan, pain-pleasure arched through her skin, to her bones. Sweat beaded across her back. His pace was both satisfactory and frustration. It was just fast enough, but not fast enough. Her fingers curled into the dirt beneath her as her rollicking became desperate. She needed more. Jay had to know this. He had to feel her beads of desire, her frustration, her urges.

And he did. He forced himself to wait, to balance on the razor's edge of satisfaction. But, hell, if it weren’t hard. He clenched his eyes shut, keeping the steady, forceful pace.

“Jay,” she whimpered, shoving all her lust and hunger and passion into the simple words, “Please.”

His resolve broken, Jay withdrew, momentarily, and flipped Kristi to her back. She complied, assisting his movements with a curious and excited glint in her eyes. As he lowered over her, and she wrapped her arms around his shoulders, Jay wasted no time. He bucked against her, his cock plunging into her wet depths. A squeal of a moan left her lips, her back instantly arching under his quick, forceful thrust.

Jay growled, his pace fast and hard. Kristi's breasts jostled against his chest and her thighs squeezed against his sides. His nerves went into overdrive as his pleasure, and Kristi's, frayed his nerves. She clenched her eyes shut, caught in the throes of delight. She moaned and screamed, tossing her head from side to side. Her nails bit into his shoulders as her breaths came out in delightful gasps.

Jay grunted and groaned above her, his hands planted to brace himself against the ground. In a desperate attempt to alleviate the pressure that consumed her insides, she pulled Jay down. She caught his lips against hers, pleading into the kiss. “Oh, please, Jay. Don't stop.”

Kristi's breathless pleas against Jay's lips sparked his hormones into frenzy. His hips slammed harder against her. Her drenched pussy clenched and grappled for his cock. Sweat dripped down Jay's back as he kissed her full on, muffling her begging.

Her body tightened around him. Muscles clenching, pussy pulsing, body shuddering. Heat crested over the pressure and an implosion of satisfaction coursed through Kristi. She gasped against Jay's lips; lava-like heat consumed her bones. Her fingers dug harder into his shoulders and her pussy quivered around his thick, firm cock.

Jay groaned, Kristi's tension and pleasure clamped onto his body. He managed – with frenzied movements – a few more thrusts, before spilling inside her. A loud moan fell from his lips, vibrating through his chest. Liquid heat kissed the inside of Kristi's core, renewing the trembles and quivers that had briefly subsided. She gasped and whimpered, Jay's heat filling and tickling every last corner of her body.

Pleasure resonated between the two of them. Ricocheting off their spent nerves before melting into their bones. Warmth crawled across their bodies as the tension released. Relaxed, Jay collapsed atop Kristi, still inside her. Her pussy continued to throb around his member, even as it softened. Jay groaned, the feeling of her greedy sex enjoyable. Her fingers played with his hair, sending delight crawling over his scalp.

“Jay,” Kristi murmured, partially hesitant. Her fingers ceased their strokes. “We should rest.”

He knew what she meant. They should leave the dreamscape and return to their 'homes.' Tomorrow was a battle and neither should be sleep deprived. At least, that's what Kristi thought.

“I'm planning to,” grunted Jay, pushing himself up just far enough to stare down into Kristi's disappointed eyes. A grin twitched across his face, lowering his lips to give Kristi a faint kiss. “After tonight.”

Kristi's eyes widened, betraying her flare of happiness. “But–”

Jay swept down, dousing all Kristi's arguments before they could fly from her lips. He didn't want to ruin this blessed night. She seemed to get the hint – or maybe she felt the same way – and her arms slid around his neck. Kristi tugged him deeper into the kiss.

Who knew? They had “final” nights together, before. None of them had stuck. Maybe it would be the same for this one.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

When Jay cracked his eyes open, sunlight filtered in through his blinds. He groaned as he shifted in his recliner. His empty beer bottle lay on the floor, at his feet. His muscles protested as he stood, working out the kink along his back and shoulders. This wasn't the regular muscle strain, thanks to sleeping awkwardly. This was the soreness that followed a night full of sexual satisfaction.

And, my, what satisfaction he garnered. His lips twitched into a smile, retracing the memories from dream walking. Despite the energetic night, he felt positively energized. Faintly, Jay wondered if Kristi felt the same. He didn't have time to ponder, though. Judging from the way the sun blasted through the blinds, it was late morning.

While it wasn't unnatural for Goldbridge to allow the Sentinels to sleep late, a jolt of surprise rattled Jay's thoughts. What if that had been why Kristi wanted to see him? What if the pack wanted him out of the way, and she had been just the distraction?

He swallowed heavily as he stumbled from his living room. Narrowing his eyes, he peered through the door's window. A set of knuckles rapped loudly on his door, making him stumble backward in surprise.

“Mr. Ward?” A hesitant voice called through the door. “We're waiting to go over the final battle plans.”

Relief flooded through Jay's head. At least the visit in the dreamscape wasn't a ploy. He lied through both his teeth and the door, “Sorry, zonked out in my chair. I'll shower and be right out.”

Jay darted away from the door before the messenger could answer. His relief didn't last long as the messenger's words sunk into his head. Battle plans swirled around his head, souring his dreamscape afterglow as he made his way to his bathroom.
