He closed his eyes and let out a grunt. His hips pistoned forward before pulling back, and then doing the same again. Gage fucked her hand and she looked down, watching him.
This wasn’t what she wanted though.
Letting go of his cock, she put her hand to his stomach. “Lie back.”
“Connie, you do not want to do that.”
“Yes, I do. You don’t get to tell me what I want to do.” She stopped touching him, not knowing where the bossiness came from. She had never been the kind of person to order anyone around, but with Gage, she wanted to make him feel good, and the only way to do that was to make him. He was the alpha. If he used his power, he could have her doing whatever he wanted.
Constance knew she was more than willing to do whatever he wanted.
Gage surprised her by moving back on the bed, lying down.
She became very aware of the fact she was naked in the alpha’s bedroom, ordering him around. She knew what she wanted to do to him, but she was also terrified of doing it.
Pushing all those insecurities aside, she climbed onto the bed, moving up toward where he lay.
His cock stood tall, and she wrapped her fingers around the length. “You’re going to have to tell me what to do, alpha. I’ve never done this before.”
“Oh, fuck,” he said.
She bent down and took the large head of his cock into her mouth.
“Your mouth feels so good.”
She didn’t have a clue what to do, and so she explored him, allowing need to take over. After sliding her tongue across the tip, she removed her mouth and started to discover his length. There was a vein along the side, and so she traced over it, getting him nice and slick.
“That’s it, baby, you suck my cock. That feels so fucking good. So good. Yeah, oh, fuck, yeah. Now use your mouth.” He groaned.
He felt amazing.
His hands clenched at his sides, and she couldn’t help but smile as he slowly began to thrust into her mouth. She was driving him crazy, and this was what she wanted. She wanted him to be completely mindless, out of it almost as she sucked on his cock.
“Fuck, yeah, that feels so good. I’m not going to last.”
There was a tension in his body. She knew what was coming, and as he barked out an order, she ignored it and continued sucking him, feeling his dick swell in her mouth. Seconds afterward, he came. The spurt of his semen hit the back of her throat, and she swallowed him down. The taste of him was unusual, but seeing him like this, completely at her mercy, well, she relished it.
When there was nothing more for him to give, she sat back on her heels and watched him, licking her lips.
Gage sat up in bed, taking her down beneath him, and kissed her.
She didn’t expect that, not after she had sucked his cock and had his semen on her tongue, but he did.
He sank his fingers into her hair, deepening the kiss.
The crush she thought she had on Gage wasn’t anywhere close to what she truly felt. Constance was terrified as she realized she might be in love with him instead.
****
The last thing Gage wanted to do was deal with pack-related stuff. Everyone had a problem, all the fucking time. Just this once, he wanted to cement himself into Connie’s life. Instead, he dropped her off at the library with the promise of taking her to lunch. Then he had no choice but to go to the building yard to deal with William about the latest problem when it came to sourcing material.
William was a good wolf, loyal. They’d been friends a long time.
Gage had seen the man find his mate and have five children all within the space of twenty-one years.
The moment he walked onto the site, William came out of his office and shook his hand. A couple of the builders held their hands up in greeting, which he returned.
Following William into the office, he saw a coffee and a bagel were already waiting for him.
“Did you want to take me on a date?” he asked.
William laughed. “It has been a long time since we caught up, and I figured with everything going on, you’d appreciate some friendly chitchat.”
“Ah, so you’re here to get the gossip about me and Connie.”
“You do know you’re the only one that calls her Connie, right? Everyone else, it’s Constance.”
“Your point?”
William took a seat and Gage picked up his coffee. “You know you could help Tanner and Constance get together, to mate. There are always options.”
“She doesn’t want it.”
“She doesn’t?”
“No.”
William sighed. “Is this because of the crush, do you think?”
Gage sipped at his coffee, looking at his friend over the rim. William had been the one to tell him that Connie had a crush. It had started before she turned eighteen, but he hadn’t given it much thought, not until after she turned of age, and then he did start to notice her.
“Do you think I’m being a bad alpha?” he asked.
“Fuck, no. I was shocked to hear the library fired her and her parents kicked her out, all within hours of being tossed aside by your son. I mean, that has got to mess with a woman’s head, hasn’t it?” William shook his head, picking up his own cup of coffee.
“I know the chronicles. I know you have every right to do what you’re doing, and not asking questions, and shit like that, but I’ve got to ask, are you doing this because of the crush or because you want to help this girl?”
“I’m doing this because I want her. You think I didn’t see what was happening to my son?” Gage asked. He laughed. “I realized it. It took me a couple of weeks to see it, but then I started to put two and two together. The way he would end up near her, you know? She was always there, and so was he. I even saw him watching her, and he always had this frown on his face, like he was disgusted with what he saw. It pissed me off. You know it did.”
William sighed. “And now?”
“Now, having her in my home, there is no anger inside me. I care about her. You know that.”
“I fear what this will mean,” William said. “If Tanner decides he can’t stand this … separation, he can demand a period of time with his mate, where he gets the chance to take her from you.”
“Not if I’ve staked my claim.”
William paused. “I’ve never known you to act like this.”
“You’ve never seen me want something so badly I can taste it, but it’s there. It always has been.”
“Gage, you’re a good alpha. An amazing friend. I don’t want to see you get hurt.”
“Then do me a favor and don’t go putting ideas in my son’s head.”
Willian sighed. “You know under pack law if he asks me a question, I must answer it. He is your son and he has a right to know.”
“Then you answer it. You make sure he knows the truth. I cannot stop you, and I have no intention of doing so.”
“This isn’t going to end well.”
Gage finished the coffee but left half of his bagel. “Is there anything else you need from me?”
“No. The supply contractor I have has already made the shipment. I’m sorry to have kept you.”
Gage nodded and moved toward the door. “I’m not going to do anything for my own agenda, William. I care about her. He can’t even stand her.”
