“Yes, yes, yes,” she chanted as the muscles inside her pussy throbbed faster. Her clit pulsed in heated waves.
“I’m going to bite you now,” he said in a voice so deep her nipples pebbled and her pussy contracted.
“Do it,” she demanded again, pulling her hair to one side, exposing the back of her neck. She was so close to coming, but she didn’t want to go without him.
His hot breath caressed her skin. He grazed his teeth over her shoulder, nipping at her until she moaned. He slammed into her again, and her pussy contracted around his cock. She wouldn’t be able to hold back. “Please,” she begged.
Then with his cock buried inside her, he sunk his teeth into her flesh. The momentary pain of the bite morphed into a pleasure so bright that Maple had no hope of holding on. He pulled back, then fucked her hard, never letting go of her neck as she screamed and her body clamped and released around his cock. The rhythmic motion of his hips faltered as he pounded into her. He finally withdrew his teeth as he drove as deep into her as he could go, then stilled. His howl reverberated in the room as his cock jerked inside her, filling her with his seed.
His body still covered her back, squishing her, but she had no energy to protest and wouldn’t have wanted to even if she had. Only once their ragged breaths slowed and she was able to think did she wiggle to turn over so that she could face him. He shifted to the side, giving her the room she needed, then pulled her into his arms.
“It looks like I’m staying in Dexter,” she finally said as she traced abstract patterns over his chest with the tip of her finger. “Well, I have to go back for my stuff and to empty my office, but I’ll be coming back. For good.”
Jaxon kissed the top of her head, then tipped her face up to look into her eyes. “I’ll help you move. Do you want to live here at the cabin or my house? Either way, I’m part of the package.”
As much as she loved the cabin, she had no real desire to live there full-time. Besides, if the company approved her request for remote work, she’d need the internet. Not to mention that his house would be closer to Grandma. “Your house. And of course, you’re part of the package. You, and your wolf—the most important part.”
They lay in silence again for a few minutes. “Will it hurt? If I do eventually shift?”
His chest tensed beneath her cheek. “I’m told the first time can be painful if you resist the change, but if you embrace it, you’ll be fine.”
She took a deep breath. “Okay. So, how do we do it? Can we try now?” Waiting would only increase her anxiety. Better to do it while her body was buzzing from the orgasm still pulsing through her.
“You want to do it now?”
“We don’t have to,” she said, suddenly self-conscious.
Jaxon sat up to face her. “It’s easy. Imagine another being inside you. One that wants to run free and feel the wind in her fur. If she’s in there, she’ll let you know.”
Maple closed her eyes and did as he asked, then gasped as something sleek and powerful blossomed inside her. When she opened her eyes, Jaxon was smiling.
“She’s there, isn’t she?”
Joy filled her. Her own? That of her wolf? She couldn’t be sure. Unable to put a voice to what she was feeling, she nodded.
“Invite her forward. Remember to relax and let her do her thing. She’ll know how to shift and get you back to your human form when you’re ready to come back, so there’s nothing to be scared of. Once you’ve shifted, I’ll open the door, then join you. We can go for a run.”
Maple swallowed hard. “Okay, here goes.”
With her heart pounding and her body shaking, she coaxed the wolf forward. Are you ready to come out? she asked the creature lurking inside. In an instant, power filled her, and her muscles burned. Joints ached, and ligaments popped. Maple breathed through it, barely aware of Jaxon stroking gentle hands down her arms.
“You’re almost there, love. Let her come,” he encouraged. “That’s it.”
For a few seconds, Maple wasn’t sure she’d survive whatever was happening to her body. Every part of her felt like it was being torn apart. She couldn’t say it was painful, exactly, but it wasn’t pleasant, either. Then, suddenly, everything stopped. She opened her eyes, disappointed that she’d failed.
“You did it,” Jaxon smiled at her and stroked a hand over her head.
She’d done it? She looked at her arms, now sprawled sideways on the bed. Sure enough, black fur-covered paws had replaced them. She wiggled to a sitting position, ungraceful as she was in her new body, and opened her mouth, but only a small yip came out.
Jaxon walked over to the long mirror leaning against the wall. “Come see how gorgeous you are,” he said, joy coming from every word he spoke.
She loped off the bed, amazed at how her new body worked. Other than some white markings on her face and a patch on her chest, her fur was almost all black. Her eyes, normally an unremarkable brown, held more yellow than amber. With the black surrounding them, she thought they looked rather pretty. Behind her, her tail wagged to the side, making her jump.
Next to her, Jaxon laughed. “Come on, let’s go outside. You’ll never look at the forest the same way again.”
Maple watched for a moment as he walked away in all his naked glory, then bounded to catch up. Just before he opened the door, she sniffed him. He smelled of him, and her, and sex. Mine, the voice of the wolf sounded inside her. Unable to resist, she
