“No. ” Rory sighed in defeat. “You smell like cotton candy. ”
Casey smiled, showing beautiful strong white teeth. “Really? And that’s a good thing, right?”
“Yeah, very good. ” Rory could feel his face turning redder by the minute.
“I guess we should sit down. ”
Rory nodded nervously and sank to a chair. He shifted nervously while Casey simply sat and gazed at him. He was so aware of the man his body temperature had gone up a few degrees since Casey walked into the room. Casey didn’t color in embarrassment, like Rory, or act nervous in any way. Rory sensed it in him—the ability to be a leader, maybe even more so than Rory.
“Settle down, honey, I’m not going to bite you. ”
“Don’t call me that—I’m not your honey. Wolves don’t mate with wolves and you’re sure as hell not going to make me a sub here. I’m a wolf, just like you are. ”
“Wolves mate whoever the blood tells them to mate, darlin’. Don’t get yourself all upset. ”
“Don’t do that! I’m not your darlin’ either!” Rory jumped back to his feet and stood with clenched fists. “This is all some kind of crazy mix-up. I’m not even all that attracted to you!”
Casey smiled and looked pointedly down at a huge bulge in the crotch of Rory’s jeans. “Your hard cock tells me otherwise, darlin’. ” He got up and walked around the table toward him. Rory found his feet backing up, almost before he knew it was happening. To stand his ground, to show Casey he was just as dominant was his intention, but as the big wolf stalked toward him, he couldn’t stand still. He backed up until he came up against the kitchen counter and could go no farther. Casey didn’t stop until his cock rubbed Rory’s. The sensation made Rory catch his breath.
“Get away from me, before I knock you down,” Rory said through gritted teeth.
Casey smiled and pushed even closer. “Now darlin’, you know you don’t want to do that. ”
Rory shoved him as hard as he could, barely moving the larger man. Hands on Casey’s chest, Rory pushed again. Casey knocked Rory’s arms away and wrapped both arms around R
ory, pinning his arms to his side. Rory struggled violently, but Casey clasped him in a bear hug, tighter and tighter until Rory’s knees began to buckle, and he couldn’t catch his breath. Only when he sagged did Casey relent, easing his grip, lowering his head to take Rory’s mouth with his own.
Casey kissed him, but the word kiss was too simple for what was happening to Rory. Casey shook him to his core and gave him feelings he’d never had before. He’d never really kissed too many girls. He’d never kissed a male at all, especially a man who seemed to know exactly how to kiss him to make him feel like he was spinning out of control. Already out of breath, Rory felt like he was drowning, but he didn’t care. He never wanted it to end. Casey did wild things with his tongue inside Rory’s mouth. Rory couldn’t get close enough to him, and he never wanted him to stop.
Casey lifted his head and gazed down at him. His voice was soft and sexy. “I’m sorry I asked you how old you were out there. When you walked in, I knew you were my mate right away, and when you didn’t acknowledge me or even glance my way, I didn’t like it much. I had to get you to notice me, darlin’. I didn’t mean to embarrass you, though, and I’m sorry if I did. But you’re wrong about not being my honey. ” He kissed Rory softly. “And my darlin’. ” He bent and kissed him again. “And my baby too. ” He kissed him once again. “Cause you’re all those things, aren’t you?”
Rory still couldn’t catch his breath. He stared up at Casey like a rabbit charmed by a fox.
Casey gave him a little squeeze. “Aren’t you, baby? Just nod your head now. ”
Rory flushed painfully but nodded his head. Casey smiled and brushed his lips over Rory’s one more time. “That’s right. I know you’re a wolf, and a very beautiful little wolf, I might add, but I am going to fuck you very soon, darlin’. I’m telling you, so you’ll have a chance to get used to the idea. I’m afraid there’s nothing you can do about it. ”
Casey rubbed his huge cock against Rory’s again, causing him to gasp aloud. “When we tie up, when I put my knot deep inside you, I’ll make you scream my name so many times you’ll be hoarse the next day. ”
The knot or bulbus glandis in canines was a large glandular ring of hard tissue around the base of the penis. During the mating, the gland swelled even larger, making it impossible to withdraw until the ritual was finished. A submerged gland secreted chemicals that caused multiple orgasms during the length of time the wolf remained tied with his mate, sometimes for hours. The extreme experience usually caused the chosen mate to pass out from the intensity, frequency, and extended duration of the orgasms. Some orgasms went on for over four minutes. During the first knot-induced climax, the wolf gave his partner the mating bite, sealing their union for life.
“Maybe those screams will be a little payback for not acknowledging me right away. You never get to ignore me, baby. Not ever again. I’ll show you no mercy when I get you in bed. No mercy at all, darlin’. ”
He bent and kissed Rory one more time, grinding his lips against Rory’s, sweeping his tongue over the inside of his mouth and nipping at his bottom lip. “I’ll see you in the morning. Seven sharp, I think you said? You’ll dream about me tonight, and I’ll dream of you too. Goodnight, my little wolf. ”
Casey let him go, turned, and left the room quickly, leaving Rory trembling. At the door, Casey nearly ran into Nicky, followed more slowly by Marco. Nicky was back, Rory knew, because he was so damned nosy he couldn’t stay away.
“Whoa, Casey, slow down. ” Nicky put his hands up to stop Casey, with an amused glance over at Rory. “Is everything okay with you guys?”
“Oh, everything’s just fine with me. ” Casey smiled wolfishly, looking over his shoulder at Rory. “As for Ian, he’s getting there. ”
“Ian?” Nicky said blankly. He looked from Casey to Rory and back again. “His name’s not Ian. This is Rory. ”
Casey’s head whipped around and a look of absolute shock came over his handsome features. “Rory?” he said, shaking his head back and forth slowly. “No, not Rory. He’s Ian. ”
Nicky tilted his head, puzzled. “Casey, are you okay? Ian is our beta. This is Rory, our new lead gamma. ” A little smile played around his pretty lips. “Don’t you even know your future mate’s name?”
Casey turned and, stumbling, practically ran from the hall, leaving Nicky looking after him in surprise, and Rory quaking as he stood against the counter staring at the empty doorway.
