Chapter Nine

Matt

I placed the call into the council around three in the morning. Silver Crescent had been attacked. I kept repeating it to myself. Trying to get it to sink in but desperately hoping it’s just a sick joke. There was no one else to do it. After the disastrous events of the night, everyone was a shell of their previous self.

Heck, so was I. My dad died in the battle. He died protecting the people he loved, the pack he cherished. I’m proud to be his son, and I know he would have been proud of me for taking out the scum who killed Alpha Dane. I wish I could have killed them all. To take their lives, they took my only family member away from me. I was alone.

After midnight some of the men and I had taken care of the bodies of the rogues. We loaded trucks and dumped them outside our territory off the side of the mountain into a rocky ravine. They did not deserve any more than that.

Anyone who was injured was with Rose’s dad. Heather had woken up, but Harriet insisted she stay with Dr. Thompson. I had no one idea where Rose was, and knowing her, she would pop up eventually after she got her space.

While I was dumping the scum, Harriet was helping prepare the bodies of our pack for the mass funeral. Honestly, I had a more straightforward job. She was there looking at the lifeless bodies of children we had seen frolicking at the carnival hours earlier. She was stronger than me. I could barely look at my dad’s body. William Hardin, you didn’t deserve to die yet. None of these people did.

The sun would start to rise soon. It would try to wash some light on our tainted pack. There were about ten buildings in total that did not catch fire. Harriet and I were tucked away in my room at the packhouse. She was sitting on the couch stuffed in the corner of my room. I was lying on my stomach with my face in her lap. She was softy scratching my scalp and running her fingers through my hair. I was staring at a scuff on my wall.

“Are you with me?” Harriet leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on my temple.

“I’m always with you.” I turned up to her and gave a half-smile. I reached my fingers up towards her face to wrap a curl around my finger.

“Yeah, I vaguely remember you saying something else.” She was teasing me; my soul soared a little bit. She was trying to coax me into focusing on anything but the night.

“Oh, I did?” I raised my head off her lap, sitting beside her. I’m going to make her repeat my words. I needed to hear her response.

“I just can’t remember the exact words.” She tapped her pointer finger on her chin and bit her bottom lip.

“I think they made an impression, little rabbit.”

“Oh, you think?” She gently grazed her fingers over my arm. This woman could tease me anytime. I craved her presence. With just one glance, she could brighten my mood. With just one touch, she soothed me.

“I do believe you called me an asshole.”

“Did I? That doesn’t sound like me? I’m typically so restrained.”

“Come on, Hare, say it.” I pulled her into my lap, forcing her to straddle me. I rested my forehead against hers, so close our noses were touching.

“Say what?” Her teasing will be the death of me. I moved slightly, letting my hot breath hit her ear, enjoying her subtle shudder. I started to pepper little kisses along her jawline and down her neck. A small groan escaped her supple lips, and the scent of her arousal danced around us. The victory was mine.

“Say it.” I huskily whispered in her ear as I nipped at it. I had her squirming.

“You said you love me.” She finally gave in. My turn to play.

“And that makes me an asshole? Why?” I continued my soft assault on my neck as her hands locked behind my neck.

“That wasn’t the deal. We were supposed to fuck with no feelings.” I slid my hands slowly down her sides before dipping them beneath the fabric of the shirt she was wearing. My hands gripped the small of her back, soaking up the warmth of her skin.

“And how do you feel?” I started to gently pull at the shirt until her body was smashed up against me.

“Horny.”

“Hare. I already know that. Answer me, and I’ll help with that.” I whipped my shirt off of her body, exposing my favorite playground. I kissed her collar bone as hands lightly trailed up her sides.

“I feel like you should shove your dick in me.” I moved my focus onto her breasts. I knew her weakness. Slowly and deliberately, I let my fingers trickle over her nipples. I moved my face closer to her chest, letting my breath linger by her nipples, and watched as they became rigid for me. I buried my face in the space between her breasts, inhaling her tantalizing scent before turning my attention to the flesh under her breast, the sweet spot. My mouth conquered it. Her back arched, begging me to continue.

I bit into her delicate pale skin, feeling the sensation of unadulterated bliss running through her body as she moaned. My fingers gently tease her slit through her panties. My fingers snuck into her panties. I dipped my fingers inside of her while I continued my tirade of sucking and biting her soft breast tissue as my life depended on it until I heard her voice whisper what my soul craved. “I love you, you asshole.”

In one fell swoop, I had deposited her on my bed and tore my shirt over my head. Looking down at my little rabbit, my cock throbbed as I ripped her panties off, exposing my favorite delectable treat. She crawled up on her knees, positioning herself in front of me.

“My turn to show you some affection.” She looked up at me innocently, trying to bat her eyelashes at me as her fingers slowly tugged my basketball shorts down until they fell to the floor in a heap. My cock sprung out, slapping against her lips, leaving some precum on her bottom lip. Seductively she licked her lips before lightly letting her tongue lap at the precum still on the tip of my dick.

I couldn’t help but shudder with delight as she gripped the base of my cock and began to stroke me. First, she started off gentle before she started to pump. I moaned as I watched her luscious breasts jiggle with every stroke. I snaked my fingers through her hair. Aggressively clenching the back of her head, forcing her to look into my eyes.

Wicked intentions flickered through her eyes before she engulfed my cock in her mouth at once. I swear she was trying to milk me dry. A growl of pleasure escaped my lips. Every pass of her mouth was like pure heaven. I couldn’t take it anymore. I needed her. I had to wrench my cock away from her mouth.

“Hey, I wasn’t done,” she pouted.

“And I’m not done with you.” I playfully pushed her down on the bed before climbing on top of her.

I pressed my cock up against her dripping slit. I gently teased by rubbing my length between her lips, brushing up against her clit. The sounds of her moans made me want to devour her. It was the sexiest symphony I had ever heard. Slowly I dipped my cock in, just the tip, and did the most minor strokes possible just to tease her.

“Maaaaaatt. Fuck me already.” She whined as she arched her back. Just to make her stop thinking about complaining, I pulled out completely.

She opened her mouth to speak, but I slammed myself deep into her core before any coherent words could escape out of her luscious lips. The symphony of pleasure began to build as I dragged my dick in and out. Slaps of flesh hitting flesh echoed in my ears, daring me to get lost in her. Her juices poured on top balls as they bounced on her ass. I threw one of her legs up against my chest, clutching it as my hips thrust into her faster and faster. Harriet’s nails dug into my thighs.

I looked at her beautiful face. Her eyes clenched shut in ecstasy, with her teeth sunken into her lip. I let her leg slide out, grasp, and lean over her. Slowing my pace to catch her attention.

“Why’d you slow down?” She softly groaned.

“So I could do this.” I pulled her face to mine. I slipped my tongue in between her lips. I coaxed her tongue to play with mine as I grabbed a fistful of her hair. I wrapped my arm behind her back and pulled her up with me. I sat on my haunches, still nestled in her sweet pussy with her straddling lap. My tongue continued to explore her mouth, and her soft moans enveloped me.

I started to pick up the pace again with my thrust as I clutched her back and hair. One of her arms hooked behind my neck, and the other lingered on my cheek. Her hips thrust perfectly in time with mine. I felt her body shudder to give into an orgasm, and with one last deep thrust, I blew my load into her.

“I love you, little rabbit,” I whispered against her lips as I fell backward on the bed, pulling her with me.

“Yeah, I guess you are alright.” She softly panted into my ear.
