Chapter 6: Deacon

Ok, I gotta admit it. That girl just does something for me. When she kissed my cheek, you could've knocked me over with a feather but what surprised me most was how it made me and my wolf feel. I didn't think something so simple could have made me so fucking happy. But the taste of her lips… All I wanted was to anchor my hands in her hair, hold her close, and taste her mouth all night. Well… her mouth and other just as delicious places on her body. I shifted as my cock was making my tux pants too tight. I wonder how she'd react to seeing how hard she makes me. I mean, she did say she was wondering what I looked like naked and what I was packing. My heart about stopped when she said she'd wondered how I'd feel inside her, fucking her. I loved how unashamed of it she was. She was fucking perfect.

Now that she wasn't in as much pain and her fear seemed to have faded, her scent was even more distracting. I kept getting lost in those ice blue eyes of hers. They were so light they were almost silver, just like her hair. But her story of not having a wolf was confusing. How could she smell so much like a shifter but not have a wolf? 

'There is more to her than just wolf. She smells of the Moon Goddess. We HAVE to mark her. HAVE to keep her. Need to mark her NOW! She is OURS!'

I barely kept my jaw from falling as my wolf dropped that interesting little tidbit. The Moon Goddess? I vaguely remembered a prophecy from when I was a pup about a shifter that was an embodiment of the Moon Goddess but would have some kind of special needs to unlock her full potential. I just couldn't remember any more than that.

"Hey guys. My wolf is going batshit crazy right now to mark her. But more than that he says she smells of the Moon Goddess. I kinda remember something my Grams told me from when we were pups about a prophecy, but I just can't remember it clearly. Do either of you remember?"

"No. I'll have to look it up in the archives. Maybe she knows something about it herself. Jer, are you almost back with that food? Her stomach's starting to growl."

"Yeah Ash. Almost back to the room. I feel this night's going to change things for all of us. I'm just not sure if that change is going to be good or bad."

As Jericho came into the room, I closed my eyes for a moment. I needed to ground myself. I'm always the cool-headed one even though I look like a fucking linebacker. But right now, my mind was taking a backseat to my body as my cock strained against my zipper. I opened my eyes to see her eyes light up as Zoey (a delicious name that I could whisper all night) spotted the tray with food piled high. My mouth pulled into a grin as I watched her breathe deep and you could see her excitement as she caught the scent of coffee.

"Oh. My. God. Is that coffee? Please say it is. Please." 

Her voice kept sending shivers down my spine. That woman would've sounded sexy reading the gods be damned phone book. Her voice had a smokey tone through it that made me think of the ladies that used to sing in the Jazz and Blues club where I grew up. 

'Imagine how she'll howl for us as we mate with her.'

Fuck. I didn't need to be imagining that right now but thanks to my asshole wolf, now it was all I could think about. Zoey made this adorable gimme motion for the coffee that made me chuckle. But then she took her first sip and I had to grit my teeth at the sensual moan she gave as the coffee hit her tastebuds. I knew I could make her moan louder and longer than that. I wanted to bury myself balls deep inside her until she was round with my pup.

I froze. Pups? I'd never given much thought to having a pup before, but the thought felt right. I felt a warmth as I imagined her belly rounded with my pup and was shocked to feel such a strong longing for it. From the sideways looks I was getting from Ash and Jer, they'd caught some of what I was feeling.

"You ok over there, bro?"

"Ash… I've never felt like this before. My wolf wants her. Fuck… I want her. But I want so much more with her. She makes me want things I never thought I would."

"I get what you mean. Knowing all three of our wolves claim her should make me worried or at the very least jealous but it just feels right."

"Jer…. Ash… I want pups with her. I've never wanted anything like that before. But when I look at her all I can see is her belly filled with my pup and her eyes shining with the knowledge she'll be the mother to our children."

I felt the shock echo through our bond.

"Fuck me…. you too? It's all I could think about while she was cleaning the party room. How she'd look chasing our pups around. And I agree with you, Ash. She feels like she belongs to all of us and it just fits."

"We need to hear more of her story. I haven't heard of any wolf having three mates before, let alone a shifter not having a wolf. She's a puzzle, and we've gotta keep control of ourselves AND our wolves until we can solve this puzzle."

 It made sense and Jer and I quickly agreed. But my fingers were itching with the need to touch her again and I just couldn't stop myself as Zoey quickly settled back into the plush chair with a plate of food, sitting with her long legs crossed underneath her.
