DERRICK WOULD NEVER admit it to anyone but he enjoyed watching his mate sleep. Maria finally passed out after a few rounds of sex. Every single condom he had placed on his cock broke but he hid them after the first one. He couldn’t bring himself to tell her the condoms were a pointless effort and getting her pregnant was a certainty.
There had been no warning that she was going into heat. Probably because she’s a witch. Derrick couldn't come up with another reason for the sudden shift in her scent. His cock stood at attention but it wasn't painful like earlier. The moment her heady scent hit his lungs, his cock had hardened like fucking steel and hadn't calmed down. After Maria passed out, his own libido calmed, yet a deep part of him wanted to wake her to go again.
Derrick pushed his wolf back and let his drowsy state take over.
After a few hours of sleep, he woke to Maria's hand playing with his hard cock. A low groan left his lips when her hot mouth wrapped around his tip.
“Damn it, woman.” Any other morning, he’d let her suck him off but today wouldn’t work. Her heated scent made it nearly impossible to finish anywhere but inside her sweet pussy.
His eyes locked with her as she took more of him in. His hands slid into her hair and gently pulled her off his cock. With quick fingers, she slid another condom on his shaft then climbed up his body and placed her slick entrance above his covered cock. Without any warning, she slammed down and moaned as he filled her warm body.
“Maria, are you sure you want to keep going?” Derrick asked her even as his wolf demanded more.
“Yes!” She groaned. Then she rocked her hips sending waves of pleasure through his body. With every stroke bringing him close to the edge. She tilted her head back. Her moans came out closer together while his balls tightened. His wolf howled with excitement as her beautiful breasts bounced against him. His thumb rolled over to her clit and pressed, she whimpered louder than before. She feels so fucking good. He inched toward his release and her pace became frantic. With another flick of his thumb she cried out with her own release. Something in him snapped and he reached his bliss. Maria collapsed onto his chest, panting for breath.
“How can I still be so freaking worked up?” she asked between deep breaths.
“It’s the heat. It can last for up to seventy-two hours.” He kissed her head.
“I need a shower.” She climbed off him and scurried toward the bathroom connected to his room. His body screamed to be next to his mate but he figured she needed some space. He pulled off another broken condom and tossed it into the pile next to the bed. His wolf enjoyed the fact they were breaking but his human side knew Maria might be pissed when she found out.
“Get your ass in here Derrick.” Maria called out after a few minutes. He was so excited that she had called him, he jumped off the bed and hurried into the shower. Her heat finally took over, making everything but sex fall away and he was happy that she didn’t demand a condom again. After two more rounds of sex, she finally seemed relaxed enough to get dressed and they strolled down stairs to the kitchen. Alia rested with her newborn on the couch while Olsen was in the kitchen. He had heard them come in about an hour ago, but there was no way in hell he’d stop until Maria reached satisfaction.
“Hello,” Maria said as her cheeks reddened.
“Don’t worry honey. I didn’t hear but he did.” Alia smiled and winked. “I’m just glad she’s a heavy sleeper.”
Maria grabbed a bowl of cereal and walked toward Alia and they started talking about the baby. Olsen motioned for him to step outside so Derrick followed him. Once the door closed, Olsen scanned the yard.
“Well I found out some stuff that isn’t great about your mate’s family.” Olsen shoved his hand through his hair.
“Spit it out.” Derrick looked toward the house, checking to make sure Maria was still inside and relaxed.
“Well first off, she is a descendant from Alia’s clan which is good and bad news for you.”
“What do you mean?” He feared the worst.
“Well, from what I have learned from Alia, she can obviously be changed to a wolf but all the benefits of being a wolf won’t show until she actually shifts to her wolf form. It’s why Alia can’t hear us right now unlike a normal werewolf.” His shoulders relaxed. So far it wasn’t horrible news. If she trained to be a witch, it would make up for her being so vulnerable. Yet he feared the bad news to come.
“The heat will only last about a day and a half and the healing doesn’t start working until they actually shift.” Derrick listened to Olsen but his stomach filled with knots every time he relayed a piece of news.
“As for the family, the mom had a sister who died during childbirth. It’s before Elene had kids. I’m not sure why she hid the magical side from her kids but it’s what I found out so far. From what I understand she has a vendetta against wolves for her sister’s death.” So, she blamed the wolves for killing her sister, it was semi logical. He hoped Maria’s delivery would be simple.
Every shifter’s worst nightmare was having their human mate die during delivery. Most pups tended to shift during delivery and cause too much damage for a human to survive.
“Is the mother the one who has the magic or is it the father?” Derrick asked, he’d bet his house on it being the mother but he wanted to be sure. Magical blood moved down through their children similar to the wolf gene.
“Mother for sure. I’m pretty sure the father is human.” Olsen nodded.
“Anything else?” Derrick needed some time to process all this shit and figure a way to talk to Maria about all of it.
“That’s all I can find out, but it seems like the oldest brother knows he has magical abilities since he served in the Marines. I think he has kept it a secret because he decided not to practice. At least, if he does practice, it doesn’t stand out.”
“Thanks.”
“You’re saying my brother knew about this?” Maria’s voice called out behind him. Olsen turned toward where Maria stood with the door pulled open. Derrick had heard her pacing in the house but he didn’t know how close she had been to the damn door.
“That’s what it seems like, I’m sorry you had to find out through me.” Olsen looked sincere, but Maria looked pissed. She turned around and walked through the house toward the front door. Derrick ran close behind her.
“Where are you going?”
“To kill my family.” She turned toward Derrick. “Are you coming or are you going to stand there?” She raised her eyebrow.
He grabbed the truck keys and nodded once to his second before they were off. Derrick kept glancing at his mate to see if she might say something but she sat in complete silence which only made his wolf pace with nervous tension.
