Helena stomped over and pressed her toe of her hot AF heels into the center of his back, right over where Aleksei had ripped a gash in it. She ground her shoe into the weird tattoo of an owl between his shoulder blades. “I suggest you get the fuck out of here or my wolf is going to make you very sorry you ever even looked at me.”
“You'll regret this, you whore.”
Oh hell no, nobody called his woman a whore and lived to tell about it. Aleksei put his muzzle right in the guy’s face and growled long and low. He allowed strings of wet wolf slobber to drip from his mouth and into the asshole’s eyes.
“I’m not afraid of death, you slimy shifter. But you and your winged kin will be soon enough.” Earl squirmed like worm trying to get away.
Helena made a whistling sound similar to the one a bomb made right before it crashed. Aleksei glanced up at her and she jerked her chin toward the asshole’s asshole and made a biting motion with her mouth.
Ah, he liked that idea immensely. It was against a whole lot of rules for him to kill this piece of shit, but there was nothing that said he couldn’t embarrass him badly enough that he’d never return.
Aleksei pounced on Earl’s back, grabbed his pants with his teeth and shredded them in one giant yank. Rrriipp. Dumbass rolled, trying to get away, but all he did was expose his family jewels.
Helena pointed and broke into gales of laughter. “I thought I felt a pencil in your pocket.”
Asshole scrambled away and took off running. Aleksei spit out his pants. He definitely had the guy’s scent now. Blech.
He shifted back and stood completely naked in front of Helena. She glanced down and bit her lip. “Thank god. Because after that pencil dick,” she held up a pinky, “I would very much like to get my hands on a…” she made a circle with her fingers spread wide, “I don’t even have a good analogy for that kind of girth. Fuck me.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Helena laughed and grabbed him around the neck. “I mean it. Take me home right now. That whole wolf thing is sexy as shit, and I want you so bad, I would even forgo Thanksgiving leftovers if you’ll take me to bed this instant.”
“No one should forgo pie. Especially when eaten directly off a body like yours.”
Aleksei kissed Helena with all the lust he’d had pent up inside for days. He was taking this relationship from fake to very, very real as fast as they could.
She swatted him on the butt and broke the kiss. “I’ll grab the pie, you grab your clothes. I’d much rather see them on my bedroom floor than out here in a dirty alleyway. Come on. Let’s eat.”
Oh, yes, he was going to eat his fill of her tonight.
Emergency Kitchen Sex
Helena grabbed the front of Aleksei's shirt and dragged him through the doorway of her house, slamming the big wooden door shut with her butt. She needed him like this pie needed whipped cream.
A whole hell of a lot.
She mashed their mouths together, not wanting to wait another second to feel and taste every part of him. Instead of the spicy taste of his kisses, Helena got a mouthful of turkey. “Gah. All this food is in the way and I'm about ready to dump it all on the floor just to get your tongue down my—”
Aleksei dropped the turkey and pulled her into his arms. One hand went into her hair and the other around her waist, holding her tight against his hard body. And oh, so much of it was very hard.
Pie, or Aleksei's kisses?
Why not both? She dipped her fingers into the whipped topping and smeared the sugary creaminess across his lips. He caught her fingers and drew them into his mouth, groaning so deep and low that Helena felt it all the way to her core. He sucked on her fingers hard and then flicked them with his tongue.
His eyes glowed with that supernatural blue and sparkled with so much more than desire. “Now it's my turn.”
Aleksei scooped up another dollop but instead of feeding it to her, he ran his wet fingers along her throat and down the front of her cleavage as far as her sweatshirt would allow. “I'd suggest you take that off, because if you don’t, in another two seconds I'm going to rip it off with my teeth.”
“Honey, if there's one thing I know how to do, it's strip.” She stepped away and motioned for him to follow her. “Let's put most of this food away and I'll give you a private show.”
“Most?” Hunger and humor danced in his eyes.
“Oh, I'm eating this pie in the next ten minutes. Hopefully off every single naked inch of you.” They weren't even down and dirty yet and she knew sex with Aleksei was going to be the best she'd had this year. Who was she kidding, it had been way longer than that since she'd gotten any action. Hell, this would make her whole decade.
He followed her into the kitchen, not giving her an inch of space. She set the leftovers on the counter and he pushed up against her from behind. “Only if I get to eat you for dessert.”
God, this was going to be so hot. But somehow it was also fun to get each other all wound up. Sex for Helena wasn't usually...fun. Flirty and dirty, sure. Hot and heavy, yep. But fun? Not in as long as she could remember. “I'm counting on it.”
She spun in his arms, intending to kiss and tease and grind up against him, but Aleksei had other plans. He grabbed her around the waist and lifted her so she was sitting on the counter. Then he pushed himself between her legs, forcing her to spread them wide to accommodate his huge body.
She hoped he was huge everywhere. If the bulge in his jeans was any indication, she was going to be one happy and satisfied lady.
“Helena, I want this to be good for you.” He was exactly the right height that his cock was already aligned with her pussy. He ground against her and she damned herself for putting these jeans on. “But my wolf is howling for me to take you right here, right now.”
“Then take me, because while I don't have a wolf to push me, my girly bits are screaming for your attention.”
With one hand he grabbed for the fastening of his jeans and with the other he palmed her head, gripped her hair, and tugged, sending shockwaves of sensations through her scalp down her spine. He scraped his teeth across her throat and she arched her back, gasping at the feel of his teeth on her skin.
God, they didn't even have their clothes off yet and she was this close to coming. There was something about the idea of him biting her that had her system ready to overload, so much so that she shoved her fingers into his hair and held his head so his mouth was against her pulse point. It beat, beat, beat beneath his lips and she could feel the same pounding between her legs.
“I need you Aleksei, need this.”
The rumble of his growl sent her pulse into overdrive. Why was that such a damn turn on?
“Zhin moya, do you know what it means to be mated to one of my kind, to a wolf shifter?”
According to Heli, it meant incredible sex at all hours of the day or night. It also meant a commitment for life. Did she want that? She'd never relied on anyone else, never counted on someone to be around for more than however long it took to get what they needed from her. That scared place in her mind that had been hurt so many times before cowered away from the idea.
A newer, stronger part of her bloomed where the scared bit had been. This was a happy Helena, with all the excitement of newfound love sending the shadows of fear away with its light of hope. All the same, she couldn't totally trust this hopeful hunger inside of her. It had been known to lead her astray before.
