The Mating Rules

My laughter dies in my throat as Caden’s face comes closer to mine, his amusement gone as he studies me carefully, my gaze flicking from his eyes to his mouth and back again.

‘What do you do to me?’ Caden breathes as he reaches out to tuck my hair behind my ear. ‘I can’t think around you, everything about you captures my attention.’

I swallow, trying to think of something to say as the air grows thicker around us, but my brain has gone on holiday somewhere exotic and not even left a trainee brain in its place. My wolf is equally unhelpful, turning her back to us and wiggling her a*s provocatively, and I’m damn thankful neither Caden nor Cobalt can see her.

I’m suspended, between what we were and what we are, wanting to haul him into me and take what I want, but also wanting him to take charge, and dominate me like the Alpha he is.

‘Do you know how good you smell?’ he continues, his nose brushing the skin on my neck as he breathes in causing goosebumps to erupt over my skin as I whimper. ‘Cotton candy, my favourite, I could lick you all over, I bet you taste this sweet everywhere.’

DO IT! My mind is screaming, as my mouth just hangs open, my chest rising and falling, my body only capable of that one thing right now.

His tongue flicks out and licks my ear lobe as I jolt, the sensation heading directly south to the juncture between my legs. I’m fisting my hands at my sides, trying not to grab him, letting him continue his slow exploration.

‘Is this OK?’ he whispers in my ear as his hand skims down the side of my body, skirting the very edge of my breast before landing on my h*p.

I nod quickly, lost in the sensation of having his body hovering over mine, his strong arm holding up his weight so he doesn’t crush me, but Goddess knows I want him too. I want all that muscle pressed to my body, pinning me to the seat cushions so I can’t move.

Lips trail down my skin, a gentle suck to my marking spot that draws a m**n of longing from me. Shifting into a sitting position, Caden pulls me onto his lap so I’m straddling him, his lips are back on my neck as his hand pulls aside my hoodie allowing him access to my shoulder.

Teeth graze my skin causing a shiver to roll through me, my head falling to the side to give more access.

I feel my hoodie being pulled upwards and I instinctively put my hands in the air, allowing the Alpha to remove it, leaving me in just my thin strappy top.

A growl leaves Caden’s mouth, and I turn hazily toward him to find his gaze fixated on my chest.

‘It should be illegal to be as hot as you are’ he rumbles, fingers tracing over my n*****s, making them harden under the cotton. ‘Do you even know how bad it is to want to show you off to everyone in the pack, tell them that you are mine but also want to rip the eyes out of any unmated male so they can’t look at you?’

A small voice in the back of my head is saying I should be offended by the possessiveness of that statement. The louder, much more insistent voice of my body is shhing that feminist whisper, revelling in being thought of as something so amazing that my mate wants to keep me to himself.

I open my mouth to speak but no words come out as Caden dips his head, capturing my n****e between his teeth through my top and biting it just hard enough to make it sting deliciously.

My top is pulled down, exposing my black lacy bra, and rough calloused hands of a man who fights and works hard, mold my breasts as his lips worship me.

I lift my hands, running them up, underneath Caden’s shirt, taking the fabric with me and tugging gently until he releases me, letting me pull it over his head and throw it on the floor.

My eyes are fixated on all those muscular contours and I trace each one with my fingers, trying to memorise them. The Alpha’s breath hitches as I graze his n****e, so I lick it again before leaning closer and running my tongue over it.

‘Baby’ Caden growls warningly, his hands finding my waist and gripping me painfully.

‘Mm hmm?’ I reply, circling the brown nub before sucking it between my teeth.

‘Remember what I said about teasing an Alpha?’ he grits out, fingers bruising my sides.

‘I remember’ I murmur, continuing my slow exploration of his body with my tongue.

‘You are pushing me to the edge here’ he gasps, head falling back against the couch as I place wet k****s up to his collar bone.

‘I’m just being friendly’ I breathe against his skin.

‘Gotta say Leeway, none of my friends make me hard by being friendly with me’ Caden g****s back.

‘That’s because they don’t know how to be a really really good friend’ I reply, nipping at the base of his neck before moving across his jaw to his lips.

I press my lips to his, coaxing his mouth open so I can slide my tongue in to wrestle with his.

Lacing his fingers in my hair, the Alpha pulls on the strands, angling my head so he can deepen the k**s, taking control which I readily concede.

I wrap my arms around his neck, pressing my chest to his, soaking up the heat that radiates from him as I lose myself in the man beneath me.

The hardness he mentioned is pressing against my jeans, and I can’t help but rub myself against him, trying to get friction as I m**n into his mouth.

Suddenly, Caden’s hands leave my hair, grabbing my thighs and lifting me easily as he stands from the couch and carries me to the bed.

Laying me down, he pulls up my top, dragging it over my head and dropping it to the ground before working on my jeans.

Flicking the button, the Alpha presses k****s to my stomach, his fingers pulling down the zipper and opening the denim before tugging them down my legs, his mouth following the same path.

Down over my panties, he skirts dangerously close to my core but not quite touching it causing me to whine in objection. I feel rather than hear the chuckle as he continues down the inside of my thigh, over my knee and down to my foot.

My jeans have dropped to the floor, leaving me in just my bra and panties and I prop myself up on my elbows so I can watch the muscular man worship me.

‘Your skin is so soft Leeway’ he murmurs, his lips caressing my ankle before moving their way back upwards again.

‘You smell unbelievable’ he continues, licking a path toward my knee before pressing a k**s to the side of it.

Upwards and upwards, those torturously wonderful lips tease my flesh, my body on fire as I tremble under his touch.

Finally, he reaches the apex of my legs and with deft fingers, hooks the edges of my panties and draws them down, a rumble of approval leaving him as he feasts his eyes on me.

‘Perfect’ he murmurs, drinking me in, studying me. Glancing up at me, a devilish grin flickers across his face before he lowers himself to my s*x and draws a long swipe of his tongue between my folds. My head falls back onto the bed as Caden’s eyes close, savouring me on his tongue. ‘I knew you’d taste amazing’ he growls, returning his mouth to me, licking and sucking my folds as I start to squirm.

‘You like that baby?’ he breathes against me, ‘you want me to make you c*m?’This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

‘Yes’ I whimper, shamelessly trying to grind myself against him.

Laughing gruffly, the Alpha sucks my clit into his mouth, grazing his teeth gently over it, making me jolt at the sensation. A large finger pushes at my entrance, sliding into me, my walls gripping automatically, wanting to keep him inside.

‘So damn tight baby’ he growls, ‘I’d bet you’d grip me like a vice, it would be like heaven and hell all rolled into one. Pleasure so intense I’d want to come in seconds but grit my teeth to hold on, because I’d never want the feeling to end.’

‘Feels so good’ I whisper, moving my h**s as he adds another finger and pumps them rhythmically inside me.

‘I want you to come for me baby, let me see what you look like when you lose control. Show me what I do to that sexy little body of yours’ he orders roughly, speeding up his movements as his tongue returns to my clit, working me relentlessly as pleasure builds inside of me.

‘Oh God’ I shout, ‘f**k me Caden, please!’ I’m beyond caring about anything, my pleasure is climbing higher and higher as the Alpha plays my body like an expert.

When I don’t think I can take any more, my whole body trembling, my o****m washes over me and I scream Caden’s name as I tumble into an abyss of pleasure.

Caden’s fingers slow as I return to my senses, pulling them from my body and licking them as he smiles at me in satisfaction.

Climbing up the bed, he lays down beside me, staring into my eyes longingly. ‘I wish I could have you’ he whispers, ‘bury myself so deep inside you that we’ll forget where I end and you begin.’

‘Why can’t you?’ I whine, unable to stop the neediness in my voice, my body is still humming, desperate for more.

‘Because you don’t belong to me Leeway’ Caden replies sadly, ‘I can’t do that, not even to Carrington, if you decide to pick him, I have no right to have you.’ He clears his throat, rolling onto his back so he’s staring at the ceiling, ‘when I have you, I want it to be because you belong to me, I want to mark you as mine as I sink inside of you.’

My lips tip downwards as I roll to my side, my fingers tracing a pattern over his skin, ‘this sucks’ I grumble.

Caden laughs, ‘it does’ he agrees, ‘but if it was the other way round, if you choose me? I’d hate to know that Carrington got you first. I don’t like the guy but I respect the bond, I don’t sleep with a mated she wolf even if that she wolf is also mated to me.’ He glances over at me, pulling a rueful smile, ‘damn me and my morals’ he grumbles, ‘because I am now damn horny, I’m going to need a cold shower after I take you back to your room.’

I giggle, shoving his shoulder, ‘so your morals also say I can’t return the favour? I’m not terrible at it and I’m a quick study if you want to teach me what you like’ I offer seductively.

Caden g****s, covering his face with his hands, ‘killing me Leeway! Seriously! You have no idea how hard this is!’

I reach over and cup him with my hand, running my palm up his length, ‘oh I can feel how hard this is’ I purr, ‘it’s impressive, sure you don’t want to show me?’

Growling, Caden rolls on top of me, sealing his lips to mine in a dominating k**s that steals the breath from my lungs, devouring me before pulling away and sitting up. ‘I knew you would be trouble’ he huffs, ‘how the hell am I going to behave until the full moon?’

I laugh, sitting up and grabbing my underwear off the floor, shimmying them up my legs before pulling on my clothes, ‘hey, I didn’t instigate the no s*x rule’ I remind him, ‘you did.’

Caden falls back on the bed with a g***n, ‘don’t remind me’ he mutters, ‘sometimes I wish I was as much of a d**k as everyone thinks I am.’

Sitting down beside him, I place my hand on his chest, leaning over to k**s him lightly, ‘don’t worry Daydie’ I murmur, ‘I still think you are a d**k.’

Eyes widening in surprise, Caden growls, grabbing me and rolling me over again as I shriek, giggling loudly as he k****s every inch of bare skin he can find.
