Things That Go Hump In The Night (5 page)

Chapter Eight: Meredith

I woke up the next morning as I had the day before, wrapped in Trevor’s arms. I felt a peace I hadn’t felt before, and I worried about what would happen when we left here later today. Would they separate us? Would I not be able to see him for a while? My heart ached at the thought and I pushed my body closer to his.

“Meredith,” he whispered hoarsely and I became so turned on just by his voice that I pulled his leg between mine and rubbed myself against him.

I kissed his neck and ran my hands over his chest, feeling his hard muscles flex under my fingers. He was awake, I could tell by his change in breathing. I heard the other guys snoring in the other bedroom, but we didn’t have much privacy.

“We need to be quiet,” I whispered to him and he groaned and pushed me onto my back. He kissed me deeply, thrusting his tongue into my mouth, making my body tingle as if it had fallen asleep and was just now waking up. I thrust my pussy against his leg, feeling an ache there that I knew only Trevor could release.

“I won’t make love to you here,” he said against my lips and I sighed in frustration. My body was humming with need and I pushed harder against his leg.

“Let me help you, baby,” he said softly as he ran his hand down my body, leaving an electric trail in his wake. Soon he was rubbing my mound on the outside of my panties and I was making little noises in the back of my throat.

“
You’re so fucking sexy
,” he groaned as he moved my panties aside and swiped his fingers into my creamy depths. I was so wet for him already that I knew it wouldn’t take much to make me come. He thrust a finger inside of me, making my back arch off the bed as I moaned. He kissed me to stifle the noise and I grabbed his head with both hands, demanding he kiss me hard, while I thrust my pussy against his hand, trying to get him deeper. He pushed a second finger inside and used his thumb to flick my clit, making me scream into his mouth. I had never felt anything like this before and I was almost afraid of the orgasm that was heading toward me like a train with no brakes.

“Come for me, baby,” he said against my neck and I whimpered, wanting what he was offering so badly that the pleasure bordered on pain. Soon it was barreling down upon me and rolling over my body, clenching my muscles up tight, squeezing his fingers like a vise, as an ecstasy unlike anything I’d felt before came over me like a giant wave. I was drowning in him and I screamed his name, making him kiss me again while he continued to pump his fingers in and out of me, milking my body for all it could give him. I shuddered uncontrollably as my body tingled with the aftershocks of what he had done to me.

“
Holy fuck
,” I groaned and he laughed softly as he pulled his fingers out of me finally.

“Feel good?” He wrapped his arms around me and kissed me softly.

“I’m a bowl of jello,” I said slowly and he laughed softly again. “I can barely speak.”

“Good,” he said in a satisfied voice and I smiled as I looked into his eyes.

“You’re beautiful, Meredith,” he said seriously, and my eyes filled with tears.

“What’s wrong?” he asked with concern as I tried to hide my face.

“I just don’t want to be separated from you.” He went still at my words.

“I won’t let them separate us,” he said with steel in his voice as he clutched me tighter against him, and I knew he meant it.

Chapter Nine: Trevor

We woke up later to the voices of the other guys in the living room. I checked my watch and realized we only had a few hours until we needed to leave for the extraction point. I leaned over and kissed Meredith awake.

“Mmmm,” she hummed in her throat as I kissed her neck. She wrapped her arms around me and hugged me tight.

“We have to get up. We’re leaving soon,” I said and she bolted upright, happiness evident on her face.

“Eager to leave?” I asked with a laugh.

“Yes! But what’s going to happen?”

I relayed the details to her, as much as I could tell her anyway, about the plan.

“But what if we miss the helicopter again?”

“We won’t,” I promised her, hoping that what I was promising her was true. It was unfathomable that Delta Shift would miss two extraction times.

The afternoon flew by as I contacted General Lockhart to confirm the plan, and we all got showered and dressed. I gathered everyone in the living room before we left.

“The extraction point is a ten minute jog from here, but with me carrying Meredith it might take a little longer.”

“Should we just shift? We could get there in two minutes if we did,” Michael said but I discarded the idea. Shifting in this situation made sense but not if Meredith was with us.

“No, we’ll just keep to the buildings and be careful,” I replied and all four men nodded, accepting my decision. We didn’t carry any weapons because we were the weapons; I just hoped we wouldn’t encounter any militants along our route.

Meredith looked scared sitting in a chair and listening to our discussion. Derek moved over and put his large hand on her shoulder, making her jump. She looked up at him and relaxed her muscles when she saw the shy smile on his face.

“Stop trying to get with Trevor’s girl, Derek,” Michael said, and Derek stepped away from Meredith immediately. I laughed at the look of horror on his face.

“Way to make a girl feel special, Derek,” Meredith said, and everyone laughed then, easing the tension that filled the room.

“Okay, let’s go,” I said, and a few minutes later we had left the house. We were walking at a swift pace, with Michael and Derek in front, and Alex and Logan behind me while I carried Meredith over my shoulder. We followed the plan to the letter, moving into the dark shadows cast by the buildings we passed. We had about a minute left before we reached the small field where the helicopter would land for exactly thirty seconds – just enough time for us to board – before it lifted into the sky again.

We were walking by the last building, with the field in the distance, when I was tackled from the side and Meredith and I landed hard in the dirt. Alex and Logan were already shifting, and I started to shift as Michael and Derek turned around to see what was wrong. When I rose up a moment later in my full werewolf stance I was horrified to see that a man with a black mask on his face was holding Meredith in front of him with a handgun to her temple.

All five of us had shifted now and we advanced on the man, growling and roaring. My ears picked up noise from the rooftops and I looked up to see men with semi-automatic rifles pointed down at us. They couldn’t hurt us, but they certainly could kill Meredith. In the distance I heard the faint sound of chopper blades.

“The men said wolves had taken her but I did not believe,” the man that held Meredith said in a strong Middle Eastern accent. My rage was immense at the sight of a gun to Meredith’s head, and a strange man holding her against her will.

Not again
.

I walked right up to them and growled my anger into the man’s face, feeling his fear on his skin, but also hearing Meredith’s fear as her blood pumped quickly through her veins as her heart raced.

“Trevor,” her voice shook with terror as she stared at me and tears streaked down her face. The chopper was getting closer; we only had another minute left before it would land. Michael and Derek moved behind the man slowly while the rest of us advanced on him again.

“Come closer and I will kill her,” the man said, his hand shaking against Meredith’s temple.

Suddenly, the night erupted in gunshots as the men on the buildings started firing. Meredith screamed and I launched myself at her and the man, bringing them both down to the ground. The sound of the gunshots was ear-splitting but I still heard Meredith screaming on the ground next to me. I rolled on top of her as I felt gunshots hit my body. Michael pulled Meredith out from under me by her clothes and started dragging her toward the field. I knew she would be safe but that wasn’t enough. The man had to pay with his life.

Alex and Logan helped drag Meredith along since she was fighting them and the chopper was practically in the field now. But I didn’t care; this man was going to die for daring to touch her. I roared at him and then bit him on the arm as he screamed in agony. The men on the roof were still shooting but I didn’t slow down. Derek was beside me, pushing me with his huge wolf body toward the chopper but I refused to leave. My vision was filled with red rage and I knew that I was going to miss the chopper again. But at least Meredith would be safe. I picked the man up in my mouth and shook him like a rag doll and threw him twenty feet away, where he landed with a crunch of broken bones.

Derek roared at me from my side, and I knew he wanted me to get to the field. The men on the rooftops had stopped shooting and were running away, but I knew the man lying on the ground was still alive. The chopper was very loud now; it was going to land in the next ten seconds. Derek roared again next to me, and this time I roared back, my rage making my body shake. The chopper was down now. I advanced on the man; he must die.

“TREVOR!” screamed Meredith from the field, and I heard her even with the sounds of the chopper. I stopped dead at her voice and looked back at the field. Suddenly my human side was warring with my wolf side. My wolf side wanted vengeance, and my human side wanted to leave with Meredith. Derek whined next to me, and I knew he was trying to tell me to pick my human side.

“TREVOR, PLEASE!” Meredith screamed again, and I turned and ran toward the field with Derek at my side. The chopper was lifting off in four seconds and we were still about thirty feet away and we hadn’t shifted back yet. I could see Michael, Alex, and Logan in human form holding Meredith back in the open door of the chopper. I looked at Derek as we ran full out and at two seconds from lift-off we both leaped, shifting while we were soaring through the air, and landed in a jumble of human limbs inside the chopper just as it picked up off the ground.

Meredith fell down beside me, crying and clinging to me, while the members of the chopper crew looked at us with awe and a small amount of fear.

“You’re bleeding!” Meredith cried and I looked down at my body. She was right; I had several bullet holes. I looked over at Derek and saw that he did, too. Suddenly, I was exhausted and I slumped to the floor. My last thought as the blood dripped from my body was that I’d do it all again.

Epilogue:

It had been two months since I’d seen Meredith. We were back in Colorado Springs now and General Lockhart refused to tell me where she was. I had woken up at Walter Reed with Derek beside me, both of us hooked up to machines and tubes. I had fifteen bullet wounds and Derek had twelve. My body hurt but I wasn’t worried. I knew I would fully heal and so would Derek. And we had.

I kept asking anyone I saw where Meredith was, and no one would answer me. The guys visited us and I grilled them about her; they all said that when we landed on the Navy ship she had been escorted away and they never saw her again.

When I had arrived back at the army base in Colorado Springs, I had asked General Lockhart for special leave so I could go to Massachusetts and search for Meredith. He refused, telling me that I needed to move past what happened and let her live her life. That was one week ago. I had called every number for the last name ‘Dunne’ that I could find in Massachusetts and had no luck. None of them knew Meredith. I couldn’t believe the pain I felt at her absence in my life – much more pain than any bullets could give me. I was shattered on the inside, and I suspected it showed on the outside as well.

A few days ago I realized that Meredith knew where I was and if she wanted to reach out to me she surely would have by then. That day was my undoing.

***

I heard a distinctive knock on my door and knew it was Michael. He always knocked the exact same way. I thought about ignoring him, but I’d been doing that with all the guys for the past three days and I knew they wouldn’t stop.

I pulled the door open and there was Meredith.

“Hi,” she said shyly and I just stared at her. She looked so beautiful. She was all healed up and her hair was wavy around her gorgeous face and her eyes were accented with some type of makeup. She looked healthy and tanned, and my dick started to swell at the sight of her. Her body was encased in a dress that showed off all of her curves and I was so stunned at the sight of her that I couldn’t speak.

“Are you going to invite me in?” she asked nervously and behind her I saw Michael walking away down the stairs. I’d have to find out how this happened later.

I reached out to her and yanked her into my arms, pulling her as close as possible. She started to cry and hugged me tight.

“I love you,” she said next to my ear and the pain in my chest went away for the first time in two months.

“I love you too, Meredith,” I said gruffly, grasping her even tighter than before.

“Where have you been?” I asked her, running my hands down her body and pulling her hips into my erection.

“It’s a long story,” she sighed as she pulled back a little. Our eyes caught and I knew that all I cared about was that she was here now.

“I want to hear it, but right now I want to make love to you,” I said and her beautiful blue eyes darkened at my words.

“Yes,” she breathed and I picked her up and carried her to my bed. I wasn’t sure how long I could last since my body was already on fire for her. I put her down on the floor next to the bed and I tore her dress off of her and she laughed.

“My love,” she said as she stood before me in her lace bra and panties and heels.

“You’re so fucking beautiful. I love you so much,” I said as I reached for her and placed her on the bed. She lay back against my covers and I had never seen a more captivating sight. I took off my clothes and she stared at me, taking in my body for the first time.

“Mine,” she said and I smiled at her as I took off her shoes.

“Yes,” I groaned as I leaned down on top of her and felt her full body against my naked skin for the first time. I kissed her and right from the start it was animalistic. I had wanted her for so long and had waited what felt like forever for this moment. I stripped her of her bra and panties and leaned down to suck on her hard nipples, one at a time. Then I pushed her breasts together and licked her down the middle, and she clutched my head and moaned. I kissed down her body, seeing that her burn marks had healed and left scars. I kissed every scar gently and she sighed.

“I love you,” I said again as I looked up into her eyes and then I moved between her legs. Her scent was intoxicating and my wolf was beside me now, struggling for power over the man. I spread her swollen lips with my fingers and licked up her center, just teasing her clit with my tongue before going down to lick again.

“
Trevor
,” she groaned and I pushed two fingers inside her, curling them up to find that sensitive spot to give her the ultimate pleasure. She was thrusting her pussy into my face and my cock was rock hard. My wolf wanted me to take her right then but as a man, I needed her to come first.

“Come for me, Meredith,” I said, and I sucked her clit into my mouth and she shattered, her tunnel gripping my fingers tightly as I kept on tonguing her clit until she begged me to stop.

I crawled up her body and kissed her, moving my tongue against hers like I had just moved my fingers inside her body. I moved away to grab a condom from my nightstand.

“You don’t need that,” she assured me and I was spreading her knees and settling my hard cock at her entrance a second later.

“Make me yours, Trevor,” she whispered and I pushed deep inside of her, not stopping until I was fully one with her.

“
You are mine
,” I growled in her ear, and she clutched me with her legs and arms as she breathed, “
Yes
.”

I started to move within her, the feeling of her walls sucking at my cock the most amazing feeling of my life. It was beautiful. She was beautiful. As I started to thrust faster, my wolf was beside me again, and it was getting harder to deny him. My desire to make her my mate was absolute. I pushed and pulled my dick in and out of her, sweating and feeling like even though this moment was incredible, something was missing.

“Meredith,” I said with hesitation as I slowed down my thrusts and finally stopped.

“What’s wrong?” she said as she ran her hand over my forehead and into my hair.

“I need…” I couldn’t say it.

“I talked to Derek,” she said and my eyes swung up to hers again. “He and Michael are the ones that found me. Derek explained…about the mating. I want to do it, Trevor. I want to be bound to you for life and never be parted from you. I love you.” My heart pounded at her words and I growled low in my throat.

“I love you, too,” I said as I rolled her to her side and moved behind her. I lifted her leg and put it over my hip and slid inside of her again. I put my arms around her; one hand on her breast and one hand across her stomach. I thrust hard into her over and over again and she turned her head and kissed me.

“You feel incredible,” she whispered against my lips and my cock even more and I knew I was going to come soon.

“Are you sure?” I asked her as I clutched her tightly.

“Yes,” she answered as she pushed her ass back toward me, meeting my thrusts and bringing me to the brink of orgasm. I felt my body stiffen at the beginning of ecstasy, and I moved my mouth to the back of her shoulder and bit down into her skin just as I started to come inside of her. Her blood entered my mouth and I swallowed and came again, thrusting hard and licking my bite marks on her skin. She came then, screaming my name and clenching her walls around me, pulling my seed inside of her.

It was the most intense feeling of my life, and now I knew what it meant for my wolf to be mated with someone. The wolf inside of me was content for the first time since I met her, and the man was content for the next twenty minutes.

I came down from the high and looked at the bite marks I had made on her shoulder.

“Are you hurt?” I asked her, praying to God she wasn’t.

“No. I feel…only an incredibly joy and contentment.”

“Good,” I said, relieved that I wasn’t the only one that had experienced that level of intensity.

“You’re mine now,” she said softly, looking at me over her shoulder. I rolled her over to her back and lay on top of her.

“I’ve been yours since the moment I saw you. I want to marry you,” I said, waiting for her reaction.

“I know,” she said with a smile and I laughed.

“And do you want to marry me?”

“Of course,” she said, our eyes locked once more.

“My love, my life, my hero…my wolf.”

The End.
