Chapter 11

Galina fought her emotions as Vadim's lips traced over her own. The hunt had excited her and adrenaline pulsed through her veins making her body tremble. She'd never hunted with a wolf as fast as Vadim before. She wasn't sure if he was showing her his skill as a hunter to impress her or to warn her. If Vadim became an enemy of hers then his display of prowess was truly a warning of his abilities. She would be wise to remember the power that ran through the lanky muscles of this athletic Alpha. Galina tensed as Vadim ran his hands lightly up and down her sides. It was humbling to know that she feared him. And, yet, his kisses were almost delicate as he slowly caressed her lips with his own. Surely someone so gentle that had taken the time to bury her father with her would not harm her, Galina thought. She caught herself letting out a small moan as he slipped his tongue lightly into her mouth.

A flash of heat whiplashed through Galina and shot straight to her core. She moaned again as Vadim dipped his tongue further into her mouth. Helpless, she ran her hands up his arms and into his thick, dark hair. Opening her mouth slightly, she allowed him to deepen his kiss. She squirmed against him as he gently sucked her tongue. Galina could feel the hard length of him pressed against her and she marveled at his size. His lean muscles belied the length of him and she felt a slice of fear as she wondered if she could handle his body.

Galina's body felt like it was on fire and he had only kissed her and stroked her sides. She jumped a bit as he stepped back and brought his eyes to her breasts. Galina trembled in his arms and said nothing as he met her eyes with his silvery gaze. His eyes narrowed intently as he took in her swollen lips and then he returned his gaze to her breasts.

"So beautiful. I must taste them." Assuming her acquiescence, Vadim bent his head to her breasts and captured a nipple in his mouth. Shocked, Galina pushed against him but he held her there with his strong arms, refusing to let her move. His hands dug into her hips as she pushed harder against him. Helpless against the assault of his tongue, the pressure began to build low in Galina's stomach. She knew that she wasn't ready for this but the heady excitement of the hunt combined with the sensations that Vadim was pulling from her body with just his mouth was enough to almost send her over the edge. Vadim growled against her breast and switched to administer his attention to the other. Galina swallowed a sob as liquid heat pooled deep in her stomach. Vadim released her hips only to capture her breasts with her hands. He raised his head for a moment and stared at them as he held them in his hands. Her breasts, perfect teardrops, stood firm and at attention as he lifted them and caressed her nipples between his fingers. Vadim continued to admire them and caress them gently until Galina's knees almost buckled.

"I...I can't." Galina whispered as Vadim bent his mouth to her nipple again. He sucked long and deep on the sensitive bud and scrapped his teeth lightly over it. She jumped at the pain and moaned.

"You can't what, Galina?" Vadim said, his lips vibrating against her breast as he spoke.

"This is too much." Galina spoke softly, dangerously close to the edge.

"I can smell your arousal. You lie." Vadim spoke directly. Galina shook her head and opened her mouth to speak. Vadim stood up and captured her mouth with his own, effectively silencing her protest. In one swift movement he slipped his hand between her legs and found her most sensitive spot. With one small circle of his palm, he sent Galina over the edge. She shrieked into his mouth as shockwaves of sensation pulsed through her. Galina threw her head back and leaned limply against his rock hard body as Vadim continued to rub his wide palm across her pleasure bud. 

Her entire body shook and she moaned as she lost her mind. Suddenly frenzied, Galina ran her hands up his strong arms and down his chest. She couldn't think. All she wanted to do was touch him everywhere. She allowed her hands to trace the rough contours of his chest and down to his hard length. Galina heard his sharp inhale as she ran her hands along his long cock and she trembled even more, this time in fear. Vadim was huge.

With quick shift, Vadim turned Galina so she stood with her back to him. Fear and excitement raced through her and goose bumps tinged her skin. Galina tried to catch her breath but was swept away by another orgasm as Vadim continued to work his hand between her wet folds. She moaned and closed her eyes, leaning back against him as the sensations racked her body.

Vadim held her tight against his chest and ran one hand up to continue his assault on her breasts. Over and over he kneaded her large breasts and rolled her nipples between his fingers. His hand continued the same rhythm down below and Galina gasped as he spread her wide and slipped two fingers deep inside her slick tunnel. She shook as her muscles clenched against the intrusion and Vadim ruthlessly pushed deeper. Without hesitation, he began a relentless rhythm. Galina felt him nuzzle against the back of her neck, his breath hot against her skin. If he sunk his teeth deep into her skin, Vadim could mate claim her right now. Galina shuddered at her complete vulnerability to him. He knew that he was in total control and he continued to tease her with his lips against her neck. Over and over, he brushed his lips against her sensitive skin as his hands continued to penetrate her deeply. With one final lick of her neck, he inserted three fingers deep inside of her as he nipped her neck. The shock of his teeth against her skin as well as the intrusion of his fingers against her the tight walls of her body sent Galina over the edge again. Lights shot into Galina's eyes as she sobbed out a shout and rubbed herself against the hard length of him. She could feel the tip of his cock teasing the round globes of her ass. Over and over the waves of the orgasm pulsed through her and she rubbed against him. Helpless, she thrust herself back at his cock aching for him to enter her juicy center.

Vadim ran his hands down her sides and over her generous ass. He toyed with each buttock and slipped his fingers between the globes to trace the entrance to her vagina from behind. Galina had never felt like this before, so intoxicated, so wanton. She was under his spell. Vadim could do anything he wanted with her and Galina knew that he was fully aware of that. With a small growl, Vadim circled his hand around her waist and nudged her knees with his own until she dropped to the grass. Helpless, Galina's body pulsed with sensation and she rose her head to let out a long howl as Vadim mounted her from behind.

With one powerful thrust, Vadim buried his cock deep inside of Galina. She howled to the moon, overcome with sensation as his huge length pierced her to the core. Giving her no time to adjust to him, Vadim began a relentless rhythm. Galina must keep up or die.

Galina braced herself against the coarse grass and lost herself to the relentless thrusting. Over and over the head of his huge cock stroked her deep inside at her most sensual of spots. Galina shouted as she shattered yet again. Her breaths came in gasps as she fought against being pulled under by the sensations. Unable to keep her head above water, she closed her eyes and lost herself in the sexual pull of mating with a ferocious beast. Galina gasped as Vadim's hands found her breasts and he played with her already sensitized nipples. She felt his strong chest cover her and he nuzzled against her neck again as he continued to thrust over and over. His hot breath whispered across her delicate nape and Galina shivered against her vulnerability. She'd never wanted someone so much as she feared him. His power was unmistakable. His sexual power unstoppable.

Galina let out a low moan as liquid heat built low in her again. She didn't think she could handle much more. Her body was overly sensitized, on fire, beyond understanding. She floated in a ball of sensation and gave everything she had over to him. Suddenly ferocious, she thrust herself backwards against his hips, matching his powerful rhythm. Vadim shouted out a laugh and with one long thrust he sent the both of them over the edge. Galina screamed as she shattered around him and she felt Vadim shudder as he emptied himself deep within her. She gasped as she tried to catch her breath. Vadim held her loosely his with cock still impaled in her body. Galina gasped as little fissures of sensations tweaked through her body. She was surprised when Vadim pulled her up and moved her to straddle her on his lap, facing him.

Slowly, Vadim ran his hands up and down her sides and soothed her trembling body. Little trails of heat followed the path of his hands across her skin and Galina suppressed another moan. Slowly, she rose her eyes to look at him.

Vadim's silver eyes sliced from the shadows of his face. Galina felt helpless as she stared into his powerful gaze. What had she done? Though they hadn't claimed each other, Galina wasn't sure how a courtship would work after she had coupled with one of the Alphas on the first night. She swallowed against a sudden lump in her throat. Had she just cemented the future of the Lotus pack?

"You still have a choice." Vadim murmured quietly. He knew what she was thinking. Galina nodded. She didn't know what to say. She wanted to talk to him about her fears for the pack yet was afraid to reveal too many of her secrets. Anything that left her vulnerable now could be used against her if Vadim ever became her enemy. She needed to keep her walls up. Deciding that she needed to take the upper hand, Galina sent Vadim a saucy smile.

"I know that. This was fun. Thanks." Casually she moved to stand and sighed when his hands held her close.

"Fun? Just some fun? You were mindless. Out of control. Aching for me." Vadim said softly. His silver eyes had narrowed to a slit and his fingers dug into her sides. Galina assumed that the Alpha was used to females begging him for more. For some reason, thinking of him with other females made her angry. Galina patted his cheek lightly.

"Yes. Good times. I have to go, I'm sure that I will see you soon." With that, Galina pushed against his chest to leave. She gasped as Vadim slammed her back against his chest and held her tightly to him.

"Really? Just a roll in the grass as they say, Galina?" Vadim said.

Galina could feel the tension in his muscles and a trickle of fear slipped through her as she reminded herself of Vadim's strength. She gasped as Vadim lifted her quickly and impaled her on his already hard cock. Shocked, her eyes met his as he began to move her hips roughly against him. Helpless, she trembled as tendrils of lust built in her once again. Her breasts bounced against her chest as he angrily thrust inside of her. Galina gasped out a moan as he leaned forward and lightly nipped one of her breasts into his mouth. Capturing her nipple, Vadim sucked long and deep as he stroked her tunnel with his cock. Galina felt her muscles convulse around his smooth length. She threw her head back and shouted as she went over the edge. Again. Galina writhed against Vadim's muscular body as he continued to suck on her breasts and thrust into her. With a guttural moan, he emptied himself for a second time deep inside of her. Unable to move, Galina allowed Vadim to support her as her head trailed back and her eyes found the moon.

Galina shuddered in a low breath. Who had she been kidding? This Alpha threatened to take her under. She would have to be on her best behavior around him. It wasn't fair to Lothar or her pack if she gave herself to Vadim so easily.

Galina gasped as Vadim circled her neck with his strong hand and forced her to look at him.

"It doesn't seem like you are untouched by me. Why do you play it off?" Vadim asked angrily.

"I...I don't know. I'm confused." Galina said lamely.
