Love

SPENCER

Every night for a week, I have shown up to Clade’s place for dinner. The moment Levi is tucked into bed, my lips and hands grope Harper. It was intoxicating to hold what’s mine in my arms.

It was like I being a teenager again, taking every opportunity I could to ravish her.

This morning we are taking Levi to his first ever soccer game, every night before dinner Levi and I have been practicing especially for it and then tonight…she’s asked me to stay.

I’ve accepted that things may not progress to the point of having sex but shit, I can dream about it, and fuck have I been dreaming about it.

So much so that I’ve been jacking it nonstop over the thought of her. Not since I was fifteen have I masturbated this much.

After his game, she wants to talk to cowboy about how he would feel if I stayed.

I already have a feeling he’s going to be okay with it, but just in case, we’ve already agreed to keep things going like this until he’s okay.

I’ve never had so much energy. The idea of being rewarded with her tender kisses at the end of the day has me both giddy and anxious to see her, my mate, the one perfectly made for me.

But getting to play dad to such an amazing kid filled both mine and my wolf’s heart with pure happiness.

I never thought I would get the pleasure of taking care of or being a part of a family.

Even if he isn’t my own, we claimed him, we love him, he still feels like he is ours, even if it is not my blood that runs through his veins.

I picked up his soccer bag and threw it over my shoulder. “You ready, cowboy?”

“Yes, more than ready, coach, if Mom would stop taking photos.” Harper had tears gathered in her eyes; she looked simply adorable.

“Okay, okay, but just a few more of you and then Spence, and then of both of you and then both of you and Uncle Clade—”

“And then I’ll take some of you and cowboy.” She smiles up at me.

“Then I’ll take some of you, Spence, and Levi,” Clade chimes in from the hall, placing his cap on his head.

We were into the last few minutes of the game and Levi’s team, The Fast Feet, was leading by one point.

Even though there was no ‘official’ score, I was still keeping track. Leivon had worked hard for this win and I wanted it badly for him.

Cowboy kicked the ball, landing it between the goalposts.

I jumped up from my seat and roared loudly, storming the field and dropping to my knee as Levi ran straight into my arms.

“Did you see, coach? I did it.” It was like he had won at the Olympics or something by the way we were behaving.

“You sure did, cowboy, I’m so proud of you, your mom and I both are.”

Harper finally caught up to us and jumped on us both, tackling us to the ground.

Without thinking, I wrapped my arms around her, pressing my lips against hers roughly. We were suddenly caught in the act by Levi, and we stood up immediately.

Harper blushed furiously; luckily, Clade defused the situation that we were caught up in.

“Good job, Levi, you were awesome. Well, I’m off to visit a friend; probably won’t be home tonight. Enjoy the house, you guys.” He winked and waved goodbye before heading to his truck.

“How about we stop by my mom’s diner for lunch?”

“Do I get ice-cream?” Levi questioned.

“The best ice-cream in town,” I laughed, collecting a still-petrified Harper by the hand and walking with her and Levi back to her truck. Thankfully, though, she did not pull away.

Opening the door for my two, we were immediately greeted with the warm smile of my mother. Her eyes fell to the cowboy, still in his uniform.

“Tell me you won?” She bent down to his level.

Leivon beamed up at her. “We’re not meant to keep score, but I kicked the last goal.”

“You did? Well, that deserves the biggest ice-cream ever. Come with me.” Mom held out her hand, and Levi, as naturally as ever, collected it and walked to the table with her.

I adored this little action; she had always been the most supportive woman, even when she didn’t agree with my choices in life, and lately, she had become a listening ear to my ‘Harper situation’.

I couldn’t have asked for a better Mom, or Dad for that matter.

“Patty, it’s lovely to see you again,” Mom embraced Harper lovingly.

When I admitted she was my mate, Mom was over the moon and praised me for a lucky bastard.

“You too, Harper, I want to thank you for bringing such happiness to my son’s life. Anytime you need a sitter, I’m more than glad to take care of our soccer celebrity here”—she lowered her voice—“even if it’s for the night,” she said with a wink.

Harper’s eyes grew wide and she blushed furiously. “Th-thank you,” she stammered.

“I’ll get you two some menus and for the cowboy”—she turned back to Levi—“I think a sundae first and then a burger and fries?”

“Yes please—banana?” We all smiled; clearly, he had picked up his mother’s distaste for chocolate.

“Coming right up, superstar.”

Leivon downed his sundae in record time and was halfway through his lunch when he spoke. “So, are you boyfriend and girlfriend?” He asked, tilting his head to the side curiously.

I choked on my chocolate shake just as Harper choked on her fries. Hers was worse, the fry got stuck and she grabbed her water and threw it back, coughing and hitting her chest.

“Would you be upset if we were, cowboy?” I questioned.

He looked at me inquisitively and pursed his lips. “Would that mean you stay the night?”

I glanced at Harper who was frozen and didn’t know how to react. Despite us talking about this very subject, she was still unable to form words.

“Did you want me to stay?”

“I think…it would be nice, maybe you could do those things, you know, that make Mommy cry in her movies.” I burst into laughter—this kid was so cute.

“How about we try a sleepover tonight and see how we go in the morning, hey? See if you want to have more sleepovers.”

He sent me a wide toothy grin. “Okay.”

My heart swelled. I could feel my wolf purring from deep within me, and I desperately tried to hold in the smile that danced along my lips.

Harper’s eyes were fixated on the table, but I could see they were glistening as though they were welling up with tears.

Her cheeks were flushed red, and her pouty lips were turned upward in a small smile as her chin quivered.

I reached over and held her hand. “You alright?”

That’s when she surprised me, scrambling off her seat and onto my lap, wrapping her arms around my shoulders and kissing my cheek. “I adore you, Spencer, more than I can ever express.”

I felt a red hot flush creep over me. “That’s good because I adore you too.”

The rest of the day passed fairly quickly, and after tucking Levi into bed, we decided to head to bed ourselves.

I was beyond elated to be able to wrap my arms around her and lie down with her without us fearing we would be walked in on, but before she could slip under the covers, she hesitated.

“Ah…get comfy, I just need a quick shower.”

“Are you okay?”

She nodded drastically and then mumbled, “mmmhhhmmm.”

I got the distinct impression she was more than a little apprehensive. After waiting for what seemed like hours, she finally emerged from the bathroom, and my mouth…dropped open.

There in the doorway was not Harper, but some unbelievable goddess wearing a white silk negligee. She twisted her fingers in front of her and exhaled a large deep breath.

The room crackled with raw sexual tension like it was alive and brimming with electricity.

I swallowed the large lump that had suddenly formed in my throat, attempting to calm my now-raging heart and rock-hard cock.

I was sweating bullets, and she hadn’t even fully entered the room yet. I felt my wolf at the forefront of my mind; he was loving the view of our mate, so timid and shy and sexy as fuck.

“Are-are you okay?” Her alluring brown orbs widened.

“Fuck me,” I croaked out, then paled at my choice of words, “I-I mean, you look incredible.”

She slowly moved forward, lifting the sheet and sliding under. Facing me with a furrowed brow, the scent of her perfume wafted past me, and I groaned.

She smelled so unbelievable, as if she had just bathed in a bed of roses.

“Spencer, you’re perspiring?”

I wiped my forehead. Shit, I was actually sweating. “You’re making me nervous.” The words rushed out before I could think properly; she had managed to unnerve me, one thing a cop was trained to avoid at all cost.

She gripped the sheets, lifting them higher to cover her divine body; her eyes fell, and she looked ashamed. “I’m sorry,” she whispered.

That knocked me back a peg. “Sorry? Sorry for what? Looking sexy as hell?” I screeched incredulously.

Her eyes flitted left and right, unsure of what to do next, but I sure as heck knew what I wanted to do, and I prayed she had no objections to it.

I threw back the blankets, rather forcefully, ripping them from her clenched hands.

I moved in between her legs, the waistband of my briefs unable to hold in my straining, hard, throbbing member as the head poked out the top. Her eyes were the size of the moon seeing my excitement.

She tried to cover herself with her arms and close her legs; my predatory stare caught a flash of what I thought was a bare pussy, but surely, I must have been mistaken.

I pried her arms open and away from her figure, then separated her legs that were attempting to close even as I nestled between them.

I slowly lifted the hem of the scanty material only to discover she most definitely was wearing no underwear and indeed she was stripped bare of all pubic hair.

I gazed up, meeting her terrified and wide eyes with a wicked smirk as my wolf began to expel his masculine hormone, luring our mate, drawing out her own sexual pheromone.

I didn’t know a human could respond in that way, but I was almost drunk on the alluring scent as it filled the air.

I licked my lips greedily as I leaned down, covering her engorged and reddening pussy lips with my mouth, stroking her soft folds with my extending tongue. “Oh, Deputy,” she moaned.

Her tense and rigid form lost its ability to resist as she naturally separated her thighs wider for me, opening her flower and becoming putty below my mouth that ravished her core.

The taste of her arousal was sweet like honey nectar, and I chowed down enthusiastically, slipping my middle finger into her extremely tight center.

A wash of panic swept through me like a freight train. She was tight, not just tight, extremely constricted, and if she was being stretched by one finger…

Knowing just how well-endowed I am, I was going to hurt her when I entered.

Her inner walls began to clench around my finger, but I knew she had to be bigger. So with some effort, I wedged in another thick digit and stretched them apart as I curled my fingers around, all while keeping my unrelenting pace on her clit.

Her hips began to buck and her body quivered. She was close, just a few more strokes and… “Holy shit, Spence.”

Her scream ripped from the back of her throat as her muscles clamped down with cracking force as she saturated my fingers. She was heaving loudly, as though she’d been running a marathon.

I stood up while she descended from her orgasmic high and dropped my briefs to the floor, repositioning myself on top of her shuddering frame, claiming her lips while she tasted herself on my mouth.

She slowly opened her hooded eyes, her piercing gaze sending shivers up and down my spine.

“I might hurt you, Harper, you are so tight,” I whispered with an apologetic face.

“Please don’t stop, Spence,” she whimpered, “that felt remarkable.”

“If it hurts you, I want you to tell me, okay?” she nodded vehemently.

I lined up the head of my weeping cock and very slowly entered. Inch by inch, she accepted it all, until I was finally buried to the hilt inside her.

I was shaking, fighting every urge to roughly thrust in and out of her, but it had been so long since her last experience and from what I gathered, she had only slept with her ex a couple of times.

She was practically a virgin. I had to be gentle, I wanted her to enjoy every moment, I needed her to understand I would not hurt her or put my selfish needs first.

I pulled back, before slowly pushing into her again, her erotic noises were pushing me far beyond my physical control and the near-on strangulation of my junior had me almost at the brink of euphoric release…

I held firm, slowly increasing my pace as her body adjusted to my size.

I roughly pulled down her top half, enclosing around her delectable nipples and swirled my tongue in a circular motion, causing her to recite praise to heaven, I chuckled at her choice of words.

Her body reacted so well to my touch as she bore down on my cock again, her fingers clawing at my back, I was thankful she did not use her nails.

Her orgasm crashed over her once more as her entire body tensed and I slowed my pace again to ride through her wave with her.

Once she was grounded, I thrust into her, not enough to hurt or damage but just enough that both our bodies were covered in a light sheen of sweat as pleasure raced through our systems.

This was unlike any other fuck I’d ever experienced, maybe because it wasn’t just a fuck, maybe it was because I was making love to my mate.

My wolf was howling in my mind in desperate need to mark her with his canines, he attempted to push through, but I couldn’t, we couldn’t.

If she chose to reject us after being marked, we would die.

I shook furiously fighting to hold him back. Once that mating bond was solidified, it would no longer be him and me, it would be all of us, connected in every way: hearing, feeling, sight, and sound.

She didn’t know yet and I couldn’t scare her off now, she needed adjustment time.

I could feel my own need to orgasm rising inside of me and just as she clamped down for the third time, I couldn’t hold back anymore.

With a very loud growl, I bathed her hugging tunnel in my milky white cum.

This climax was indescribable, unlike anything I had previously felt, shattering my entire being bit by bit, like the entire world had paused just for our ecstatic high.

Not only did my cock swell and relief wash through me but my heart swelled too.

In that moment of vulnerability, a bolt of lightning hit me with encapsulating exhilaration.

I was completely, utterly, head over heels and irrevocably in love, and there was not a damn thing I could do but fall into oblivion.
