Ethan's POVI struck her twice more with the cane surprised that she kept up with the counting, she was such a good sub. I wouldn’t trade her in for anyone.She likes pain to the point of bleeding.In some transitions from human to wolf, the line between pleasure and pain got switched, I heard of some men and women who could take so much pain they could be on the verge of death and it wouldn’t affect them emotionally. The workings of a wolf body surprised me, Emma wasn’t strange or different from many of them. She was afraid, untutored, and alone. Her wolf was torn in two between wanting me and being afraid, i wasn’t an idiot. Emma had done something to cause this problem.Putting the cane down on the floor, I stared at her body hating the sight of the clothes, I would give anything to have her spread out and naked, her dark flesh revealed for me to touch, caress, or punish.'Wait, have patience. She will be ours" my wolf gave me a subtle reminder.My wolf passed along the walls of

Walking back to the bar I watched Emma sipping from a straw, she had ordered a soda, a clear cream soda. Her eyes were closed as she enjoyed the taste of her drink.Running a hand down my face, i wondered if i was doing the right thing in taking her back to my homeI mean Our home.Emma was my mate, the other half of me, and I would be damned if i let her get away, I touched her shoulder as I approached. She jerked at my touch yet didn’t pull away.“Finish your drink and then we’re going.”“Can I ask you a question?” Her brown eyes were wide as she stared at me.“Yes,” i said, taking a seat.“Why now? Why wait a year to put me in this position?”I smiled. “I’ve finally had enough of our games. You are holding back from me, and that I don’t like. I’ve played it your way and gotten fuck all out of it. It’s time to play it my way, and I’m going to do that now.”She finished her drink leaving a tiny amount of soda in the bottom.“Why haven’t you finished your drink?” he asked.“I have.”

“For tonight, were not going to do anything. Were going to enjoy some good food and drink, and then well go to bed.” he said, not looking at my face, not wanting me to see his reaction? Or not wanting to see the disappointment on my face? Which ever was his reason, I guess it was for our goodm“Where will I sleep?” i asked.“Where I tell you to.” He walked down the long entrance hall, taking a left, i hurried my steps to keep up with him. Considering the age of the house, the scents were sweet, charming.Whoever lived here they were happy. The house smelled of happiness, of peace. It was such a strange scent to have around the house. I rushed toward him, following him through three more rooms before we made it to the kitchen.“The house has multiple rooms for the pack. They do visit, and when they do I like for them to make themselves at home. Unfortunately with wolves, they fight. I have got four television rooms so there is no fight over the remote or what they watch.” I chuckled,

Emma's POV.“This is amazing,” I said, twirling some noodles onto my fork. “You know how to cook.”“You wouldn’t have thought that from my first attempt at spicy chicken noodles. I vomited for three days afterwards.” Ethan said, taking a huge bite of his chicken.I chuckled, covering my mouth as smi did. “You’re joking. I don’t believe you.”“I didn’t cook the chicken properly. I tell you, it was the worst couple of days for me.”“Okay, I can believe that.” I replied, as we cleaned away our mess, and he put the spices away. When we were done, he led me out of the kitchen and moved toward the stairs.“I’ll give you the grand tour tomorrow. For now I think it’ll be good if you get a good night’s sleep.” He took hold of my hand, gritting his teeth as his wolf started to pace within his mind. His wolf knew what he wanted, and that was me.I followed him upstairs, and he decided to stay on the first floor rather than go up to the main bedroom on the fifth floor. The attic space was large,

I gasped, withdrawing my hand and loosening the hold on my nipple, going to my knees, I shuffled to the edge of the bed and opened the lace, Ethan stood in the doorway between our rooms.“I can smell and hear what you are doing Emma. I did not give you permission to play with yourself.”He stood completely naked, his cock was rock hard and stood out in front of him, the size of his thick penis made my mouth go dry, there was no way he would fit inside a woman and it be comfortable.“I’m sorry.”“No, you’re not. If you wanted to touch yourself then you should have come to me for permission to do so.”“I didn’t know we were in a scene.”Ethan sighed. “Were not in a scene, Emma. You need some strict rules in your life. You keep everything at arms’-length, hiding behind your walls of frost and depression.” He folded his arms, staring at me with unreadable expression, “This cannkt wait until morning. Were going to have this discussion now.” he stood facing me making no move to put some cl
