Wolf's Secret (District Shifters Book 3) Read online

  He felt her hands push into his hair, two fists that tugged on his hair making his scalp sting and spurring him on. He could tell by Brianna’s ragged breathing that she was almost on the verge of climaxing. He sucked hard on her clit, pulling it into his mouth, teasing it with his tongue. He felt it pulsing when Brianna let out a long moan that ended in a desperate sounding whimper as her orgasm claimed her.

  She tugged on his hair again, pulling him closer to her, pressing herself against his face, grinding against him. She lifted one leg and wrapped it around his shoulders, holding him in place as he worked his tongue over her. She gasped, and her second orgasm hit her. Her clit was even more swollen now, pulsing in time with Archer’s licks. Brianna screamed Archer’s name, and her body went rigid for a moment. She relaxed again, and her leg slipped from around his shoulders.

  Archer sat back on his heels, taking in the sight of her. Her sweat coated body glistened. Her mouth was slack, her eyes glassy. She had never looked so good.

  Brianna gave him a sated smile, and then she moved forward until her ass was on the edge of the couch. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders, pressing her mouth to his once more. She moaned when she tasted herself on his tongue.

  As she kissed him, her arms moved from around his shoulders to the front of his body. She pulled his shirt up, and they broke their kiss long enough for it to come over his head. He raised his arms, wriggling free of the shirt, and Brianna tossed it to one side. Her hands moved lower, fumbling with his jeans until she got them open. Archer came up onto his knees, and Brianna pushed his jeans and boxer shorts down. She didn’t waste any more time. She put her hands on his shoulder, pushing him back down, and then she slid off the couch and onto his lap, wrapping her legs around his waist.

  They kissed again, a raw, passionate kiss that set Archer’s soul on fire. He moved his hands down Brianna’s back and unhooked her bra. He pulled it down her arms and tossed it aside. He kissed down her neck, and as she arched her back, giving him access to the soft, sensitive skin there, he kneaded her breasts, feeling her erect nipples rubbing over his palms.

  Brianna reached down with one hand and wrapped it around his cock. She began to move her closed fist up and down it, and Archer felt fire explode through his body. He nibbled on Brianna’s neck as she rubbed his cock, making lust surge through him. He could feel her sticky juices coating his thighs as she moved slightly on his lap, rubbing herself against his legs.

  His orgasm was building inside of him, threatening to burst through him at any moment, and he knew he had to be inside her, had to feel her around his cock before it was too late. He moved his hands down her sides and kissed her hard on the mouth. Then he took her wrist in his hand and pulled it from his cock. He instantly missed her touch, but he knew if she kept working him, he wasn’t going to be able to hold back.

  Archer grabbed Brianna’s hips and lifted her slightly, pulling her body forward. He moved his hips, lining his cock up with her pussy, and he pulled her body back down, slipping inside of her. She gasped as he filled her, stretching her and claiming her body. He could feel the warmth and wetness of her, the solidity of her muscles clenching around him, and he almost went over the edge.

  He felt fur protruding from his back and legs, and he knew his eyes had changed, darkened as his wolf tried to escape. Brianna gasped as she looked into his eyes, but she didn’t seem afraid; she seemed turned on. Archer threw his head back and howled, slamming his cock into Brianna. He had to rein himself in—he couldn’t give in to the wolf. He wanted to feel this as a man. He forced his wolf back down and felt his eyes return to normal, his fur retracting back inside of himself.

  He leaned his head forward and ran his lips over Brianna’s as he slammed into her again and again; hard, deep thrusts that filled her and made her cry out with each one. She clung to him, her arms and legs wrapped around him, moving in time with his thrusts, urging him on, pushing him in deeper. Fire flooded Archer’s body. Whether she was immortal or not didn’t matter in that moment. Brianna was his destiny.

  He moved his hips, changing the angle of his penetration slightly so his cock rubbed over Brianna’s g-spot with every thrust. She was already panting, but then her breathing became shallower, like each breath was a struggle. He could feel her body going rigid, her back arching, pulling her body away from him. He wrapped his arm around her waist, holding her tightly.

  She clenched tightly around his cock. He saw her eyes rolling back in her head as her pleasure consumed her completely, and he leaned forward and ran his tongue up her exposed throat. He pulled back as her eyelids fluttered open. She sucked in a breath and let it out in a shaky moan that ended with his name as he slammed his cock into her. Her center clenched again, almost pushing Archer over the edge himself, but he held back, wanting this to last as long as possible. Brianna clung to him, digging her nails into his back, once more plunged through waves of pleasure. She pressed her face into his shoulder, her hot breath coming in blasts on his neck.

  She whispered his name against his neck as he moved inside of her, still clinging to him. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pushed himself up onto his knees, holding her in place. He got to his feet, still holding Brianna, his cock still buried inside of her. He moved to the couch and laid her down, getting on top of her.

  Brianna smiled up at him, and he leaned down and kissed her smile. Her hands roamed over his back, over his shoulders, in his hair. It was like she wanted to touch every part of him at once, to connect as one with him, body, mind, and soul.

  He kept moving, needing her to be his. He slammed into her, and he could feel his orgasm washing over him. This time, there was no holding back, and he thrust into her one last time before his cock went rigid, his muscles clenching as his orgasm flooded him. He felt it in every part of his body; in every blood cell, every muscle, every nerve ending. He sucked in a breath and closed his eyes, letting his pleasure linger. He felt his cock twitch, his seed filling Brianna. Her pussy clenched as he came, holding him tightly.

  He moaned her name as his orgasm drove everything except for her out of his mind. For the next few seconds, nothing mattered except him and Brianna. The rest of the world ceased to exist, and there was only the two of them and their shared pleasure. They clung to each other, their breathing going back to normal. When Archer felt like he had himself under control, he pushed himself up on his palms and looked down at Brianna. She smiled back up at him.

  “Wow,” she breathed.

  “Indeed,” Archer said. He leaned down and kissed the tip of her nose before he pushed himself all of the way up. He leaned down and pulled his jeans and boxers back up. Brianna sat up.

  “You’re fastening those like we’re done,” she teased him. Archer felt his eyes widen, and he looked at her. She laughed at his shock. “What?” She blushed suddenly. “We only have tonight. We might as well make the most of it.”

  She stood up, and Archer swallowed hard as he looked at her. Her body was spectacular. He could still see rosy suck marks on her neck, and he felt his cock responding instantly to her. She stepped towards him, took his hand in hers, and led him across the lounge, down a hallway and to her bedroom.

  “You’ll have to excuse the mess.”

  “I’m not looking at anything but you, Brianna, and believe me when I say you’re anything but a mess,” Archer said.

  Brianna gave a soft laugh and blushed a little. She reached out to him and grabbed him by the waistband of his jeans. She pulled him closer and tilted her head up, finding his mouth with hers. His body once more responded to her, and he pushed his hands into her hair as their tongues met.

  Brianna wasted no time in getting his jeans back open, and Archer kicked them and his boxer shorts off and away. He kicked his shoes and socks off, and finally, both he and Brianna were naked, and he could feel her skin on his everywhere.

  She kissed down his neck and chest, and then she got to her knees before him. She leaned forward and took his hard cock in her mouth.
Archer sucked in a gasping breath as her warmth enveloped him, sending him wild. He could feel his wolf once more straining to break free, pushing hard against him as lust overtook his body. He fought the wolf, keeping it at bay, not wanting to scare Brianna.

  Her mouth worked over his cock, her tongue rough and her lips smooth, pushing Archer closer and closer to the edge. His whole body trembled as pleasure coursed through his veins, lighting him up in places he had never even known existed.

  Brianna looked up at him, his cock still in her mouth, and he felt his heart slam in his chest, his breath catching in his throat. He couldn’t hold back from her any longer, and he reached down and took her hands from his hips. He pulled her to her feet, and she came up easily, smiling at him. He felt a rush of warmth flood him as he looked deeply into Brianna’s eyes and kissed her, holding her tightly against him.

  He broke their kiss and turned her around so her back was pressed against his front. He ran his hand down her body until it came to rest on her mound. He pushed his fingers inside of her lips, rubbing them over her clit, making her gasp loudly. With his other hand, he pinched one of her nipples between his thumb and his forefinger, making Brianna cry out.

  She pressed herself back against him as her orgasm flooded her, and Archer felt her knees give way. He released her nipple, catching her around her middle, holding her up against him. He still worked her clit, listening to the almost pained moans she was making, loving knowing he could make her body sing this way.

  Her head tumbled back against his shoulder, and he kissed her neck. He felt her clit throbbing against his fingers as her orgasm tore through her. She turned her head slightly, looking at him as her muscles tensed once more. Her lust filled eyes found his, and the look on her face brought his wolf to the surface again. He blinked and looked away quickly when he felt his eyes changing, turning black. Brianna frowned slightly, and he knew she had seen him changing. Last time, he wasn’t sure she had even noticed, but this time, she had. He cursed himself, pushing his wolf back. He had ruined everything.

  Archer moved his fingers away from Brianna and helped her towards the bed. He sat her down, and she shuffled backwards. She looked at him questioningly when he made no move to join her.

  “I’m sorry you had to see that, Brianna. I… I lost control there for a moment, but I swear, I would never hurt you,” he said.

  “Hurt me?” She scooted forward again and took one of his hands in both of hers. “I never thought you would. You don’t have to apologize for who you are,” she said. “I was just surprised to see your eyes changing like that. But I’m not afraid, Archer. They were beautiful.” It was Archer’s turn to frown in surprise. Brianna laughed softly and pulled him down beside her on the bed. “I knew you had an animal side going into this, and I want you to embrace it.” She gave him a playful smile. “Just don’t pee in the corner or anything, okay?”

  Archer laughed, part with surprise at Brianna’s joke and part with relief that she wasn’t suddenly scared of him.

  “Don’t worry. I’m fully house trained,” he said with a grin. He reached out and cupped her face with his hand, his smile melting away as they looked into each other’s eyes, searching for answers to questions both of them knew must remain unasked.

  “Make love to me, Archer,” Brianna said with tears shining in her eyes.

  Archer leaned in and kissed away a single tear that spilled over. She turned so her lips were on his again. He felt the familiar lust engulfing him, the warmth inside of his body. She was right in her wording. This wasn’t fucking. It was making love. He was falling for Brianna, and he knew it. His wolf was telling him she was the one, but it didn’t matter what his wolf thought, what he thought. She couldn’t be the one. She could be his for tonight only.

  He pushed her onto her back and climbed on top of her. He kissed her again as he entered her, and she moaned into his mouth. This time, the sex was slower, more tender. He kissed her lips, her neck, her shoulders. He saw her eyes come to life as her orgasm began to approach, and he upped his pace, pushing her swiftly over the edge. She clung to him, her nails piercing his skin as her pussy clenched around him, and when he felt his wolf once more clamoring to the surface, he didn’t hold himself back. He felt his eyes change and his senses sharpen. He could smell Brianna’s scent and feel how right this was in every cell of his body.

  He fought his wolf back when he could no longer handle the feeling that he was about to walk away from his soul mate. Brianna was writhing beneath him, and the way she moaned his name, her voice dripping with ecstasy, pushed him over the edge, and they came together.

  When his orgasm faded, Archer rolled off Brianna and lay beside her. His chest was heaving, his heart racing. She rolled onto her side and rested her head on his chest, her arm draped over his waist. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and held her there, both of them panting.

  Once he had recovered, there was so much he wanted to say to Brianna, so much he needed her to know, but he couldn’t find the words to tell her, so he lay silently, just enjoying the warmth of her body pressed against his.

  As her breathing deepened, Archer knew she had fallen asleep. He lifted his head slightly and looked at her face. Her mouth was open slightly, her eyes closed. She looked so peaceful, and Archer felt a rush of warmth flood him as he watched her sleeping on his chest. He had fallen for her. His wolf had won. She should be his. She was meant to be his.

  He knew it could never be, though. She wasn’t immortal, and bringing her into his world would just be irresponsible, especially with a hunter on the loose. If something were to happen to her because of him, he could never forgive himself, and that was why he had to let her go.

  He could feel his eyes starting to close, but he fought it, making himself stay awake. He gently moved Brianna’s head from his shoulder and slipped off the bed. Brianna muttered something unintelligible and rolled onto her back. Archer smiled and pulled the duvet over her, tucking it down the sides of her body. He leaned down and kissed her forehead.

  He didn’t want to leave her, especially not like this, but if he stayed until morning came, he wouldn’t be able to bring himself to leave. He had to make the right choice for Brianna. Staying would be selfish.

  He gathered up his clothes and went through to the lounge to find his shirt. He slipped out of the apartment, already feeling the pull in his heart to go back to Brianna.

  9

  Brianna finished getting ready and left her apartment, heading for college. She smiled almost sadly as her eyes grazed over the couch on the way past it. She couldn’t help thinking of Archer. Last night had been epic, amazing, but now it was over, and the memory of it was more than a little bittersweet.

  She had expected to have this morning. She had allowed herself to believe that maybe she and Archer would share breakfast together, and that they would definitely have fit in at least one more session. When she had awoken, she had known instinctively he had left. When he was with her, she felt his presence completely, and that feeling was gone. Still, she had called his name and searched her apartment, just to be sure. She had felt empty inside, a little disappointed that Archer hadn’t even bothered to say goodbye.

  However, she understood, and even though it hurt her a little, he had done the right thing. They had gone into last night knowing that was all it could be, and if he had still been there this morning, if they had made love again, it would have only made saying goodbye even harder, perhaps even impossible.

  Brianna knew she had fallen for Archer. It was more than just the way he made her body feel. It was the way he made her heart feel. And while she didn’t want to jump to conclusions, she was almost certain he felt the same way about her. His human eyes had looked at her softly, tenderly, like he never wanted to let her go. His wolf eyes had been fierce, intense, but rather than filling her with fear, they had made her feel safe. That fierce intensity told her he would never let anyone harm her.

  It hurt to know that he felt the same way, and
yet they still couldn’t be together, but it had to be that way. He was immortal, and she wasn’t, and she didn’t want to be. She didn’t want to be a part of a world she didn’t understand. She didn’t want to live forever. It would be too heartbreaking to watch everyone around her get old and die. She didn’t want that life. She just wanted to be normal.

  For the first time, she found herself wishing she had asked Raina to wipe her memories of the supernatural world. She would have bought the sheriff’s story about Caroline, convinced herself she hadn’t seen what she’d seen. And Archer would have been no more in her mind than a grieving friend of Caroline’s, a brief acquaintance she could have forgotten about.

  By the time Brianna reached the college, she had managed to once more convince herself that not seeing Archer again was for the best, but she still couldn’t quite get him out of her head. She was glad when she saw Macey coming towards her as she walked across the campus.

  “Hi,” Macey said, falling into step beside her. “How’s things? How did your date go?”

  “It wasn’t a date,” Brianna laughed. “It was just drinks. It went fine.”

  “Are you seeing him again?” Macey asked. Brianna shook her head, forcing herself to smile so Macey would think she was fine with that and the conversation could finally move on.

  “No, but that was always the plan. Like I said, it was just drinks. Now, enough about me. What did you do last night?”

  “I had a great night. Pizza and studying.”

  “Sounds fun,” Brianna agreed. “What where you studying? We don’t even have any assignments yet.”

  “I just want to make sure I have some idea of what’s being said in the lecture,” Macey said.
