Wolf Sings

Chapter 8

Keil managed to keep one hand tucked around Robyn even as he finished scooping up the rest of the noodles from the dinner pot. He never seemed to be far away. He touched her constantly. Over the past three days, they had made love in the sauna, in the cabin, even enjoyed a quick romp on the porch under the moonlight. One night Keil had eaten a piece of cheesecake off her belly then proceeded to lick every inch of her thoroughly before taking her quivering body to the shower house to continue.

When they weren’t making love they skied, built a snow fort and talked for hours about everything.

Robyn couldn’t decide whether she liked the talking or the loving better. Being with Keil was amazing. There were definitely benefits to this mate thing.

“It’s only Tuesday but I think we should ski out tomorrow like TJ and I had planned. There’s a lot we need to do before Saturday.”

Robyn nodded hesitantly.

“What, little bird?”

She pressed her lips against his cheek. “I don’t want to go home yet. This is the shortest honeymoon on record.”

“Oh, the honeymoon isn’t over, sweetie. We’ll have to delay the rest until after…” Keil broke off, his body tensing up next to hers.

Robyn stood to clear away the dishes, fighting to keep tears from forming in her eyes. The pack challenge. She understood from their talks that it had to happen.

But she wasn’t ready to share him yet. With anyone.

Keil swung her around to face him.

“This is not how I would have chosen to make you my mate, forcing changes on you this quickly. But we needed each other. I needed you. I won’t apologize for taking advantage of finding you and loving you.

“You’re going to have your first full moon as a wolf on Saturday, and the challenge isn’t until Sunday. Come back to Haines with me and I will introduce you to the pack members who support me. I will win the challenge, Robyn. Especially now that I have you. Trust me.”

“I do trust you, but I can’t go to Haines. I’m supposed to phone my brother today, he’s to meet me on Saturday at the trailhead. I have to talk to him if there’s any changes and this is going to be tough to explain. Oh, hell.”

Keil looked puzzled for a minute as he realized something. “You said you had a satellite phone. How were you planning on using it? You can’t hear.”

“Text message.”

“On a sat phone?”

“Ain’t technology great?”

“I’d hate to know what that costs per message. Can I talk to your brother for you?”

Robyn considered. Tad was the kind to worry but he also knew when to back down. She thought Keil would be able to talk it out with her brother. It might, however, take a while.

“Only if you plan on paying the charges.”

“What are you, cheap?”

“Like borscht.”

Keil pulled her in for a kiss, the kind that made her toes curl and her heartbeat increase. Just as it was getting interesting, he broke it off. “Damn, you get tastier and tastier. I’d better make that call before I get too distracted. What’s the number?”

Robyn pulled out the phone and handed him one of Tad’s business cards that she kept with it. Keil choked for a second before flashing a big grin. Robyn paused as she sat at the table. What was Keil up to now? The expression in his eyes was way too mischievous.

Keil linked the call through and sat back to talk, making sure she could see his lips.

“Hi, Tad, this is Keil Lynus. How are you, man?” Keil winked at her and a warning signal went off in her brain. Something stunk. “No, TJ doesn’t need any rescuing, we already dug him out… I know, he’s a total pain in the butt. I do need something… She’s fine. In fact Robyn and I are mates and I was—”

Robyn stared at Keil in shock. How could he blurt it out like that to Tad? Her brother must be freaking. She slapped at Keil’s shoulder, trying to take the phone away from him.

“Hang on, Tad, she’s getting a little frisky right now. I think she’s worried you’re having a fit or something over there. Want to talk to her?”

With a violent yank Robyn pulled the phone away from Keil to check the screen. Maybe he hadn’t phoned anyone at all and it was a joke. But there was a return message on the screen.

Congratz, sis, Keil is awesome. I’m happy for u

Robyn’s jaw dropped to the floor. She typed in quickly. U know Keil? U know what he is?

Ya. Wolf. u work fast sis

U are sooooo dead next time I c u Tad

luv U 2 Robyn

Jerk

Keil pulled the phone away, said “hi” and paused to listen for a minute.

“Well, thanks. It was a surprise but she’s incredible, Tad. Hey, there is a little thing shaking down this weekend if you’d like to join us. Robyn’s first full moon will be on Saturday… Of course you can come! You’re family, even if you aren’t triggered yet… I know, Tad.” Keil rolled his eyes. “It’ll happen sometime, man. Gotta go. Robyn’s making me pay for this call… I can afford it, but why would I want to spend more time talking to you when I can be with my mate?”

Robyn fought to control her breathing as Keil hung up and packed away the phone. The smirk on his face was more than she could handle and she pounded on his arm.

“Hey, what’s this? I thought that went rather well. Tad will even be able to join us for the full moon. Great, hey?”

“You ass. You never told me you knew my brother. How does he know you and how come he knew you were a wolf and—”

Keil wrapped his arms around her and lifted her off her feet, as she continued to struggle against him. Robyn fumed. Keil had known Tad all along. Tad knew about werewolves and never once said anything to her about the fact she was one.

Shit. That was probably the “big secret” he’d kept trying tell her.

They were both dead.

Keil lowered her to the sleeping platform and covered her body with his own, stopping her from being able to wiggle away. The thrill of his touch battled with the desire to kick his kneecaps off.

“Tell me what’s up, Keil, or I’ll be forced to hurt you.”

“You’d never hurt me.”

“Oh yeah? Ever eaten a granola bar with a laxative additive? I can arrange it for you.”

Keil laughed and rolled to the side, running a hand over her body as he spoke. “I didn’t realize the connection when you said you were a Maxwell. You told me you had a brother but you never told me his name.”

Robyn opened her mouth to protest but then froze. “Damn. Are you sure?”

Keil nodded. “I would have recognized the name. I know Tad from my guiding business. He flies us on trips all the time. He told me he had a sister, but he never said she was deaf. He found out we were wolves on a trip when TJ did one of his not-so-amazing Houdini tricks while Tad was still around.

“Your brother is a half-breed wolf, still untriggered. We guessed it was your Grampa who gave him the genes. If you’re wondering, yes, he knew you were a wolf.” Robyn tensed under his hands. “Hey, think of it this way. He can’t shift until he gets triggered, and you know that’s complicated for a male half-breed. Telling you about werewolves wasn’t going to work because he had no proof. He probably thought your mate would be someone from one of the Whitehorse packs.”

Robyn dropped her head back on the bunk with a flash of insight. “Is that why he’s been introducing me to all these different ‘clients’ over the years? Were they all wolves?”

“Maybe. He did mean well, remember that before you slit his throat, my vengeful hussy.” Keil’s hands slid possessively over her. “Since it’s our last night here I vote we take advantage of it. Dinner was great but I want my dessert.”

He opened up her shirt and proceeded to bury his head in her breasts, rubbing back and forth over her torso like he was painting himself with her scent.

“You can’t tell, but you smell absolutely amazing, Robyn. It’s something to do with being recently triggered as well as being my mate, but are your pheromones off the chart right now.” He licked a long slow line up from between her breasts until he reached her lips and proceeded to tease the corners of her mouth with gentle nips and kisses.

“TJ said it could be a problem with the pack. That all the guys would be attracted to me.”

Keil pulled back and stared at her for a second. “He’s right, I never thought about that. I mean, you’re marked as mine, and your scent is clearly our scent, but as a full-blood until after your first full moon, you’re sending off killer hormones.”

He traced a finger down her body, circling the globes of her breasts as he considered. “I’ll be careful who I introduce you to. Only mated couples and females until after the weekend. You’re too beautiful. I’d be fighting everyone for you otherwise.”

“You wolves seem to like fighting.”

“It passes the time and keeps us warm. It’s cold in Alaska.”

Robyn grabbed his hand from where it teased her and pushed it farther down her body until his strong fingers cupped her mound. She pressed her hips upward gently, encouraging him to explore. “It’s cold up here in the Yukon too, but I know of lots of other ways to stay warm. Fireplaces, hot tubs…”

“…saunas, beds. I’m looking forward to trying them all with you.” Keil spread his fingers over her belly and finally lowered his head to her breast. His tongue flicked to moisten the tip of her nipple. Her body responded and a tight peak formed. Keil’s contented smile warmed her heart. He didn’t simply go through the motions. He seemed to enjoy touching her, making her feel wonderful.

He blew a stream of cool air over her breast, sending a shot of pleasure down to her womb. Keil’s mouth lowered and he suckled the erect tip into his mouth, tugging sharply until on the edge of pain. He followed with a gentle lap. A delicate nip with his teeth. The alternating tugs and soft caresses built up the pressure burning deep in her core. She reached her hands to massage over his shoulders, holding him close to her body.

Suddenly she needed more. She wanted to touch him as well, make him feel as good as he made her feel. He’d been such a tender lover over the past days, but he’d been controlling as well, never letting her take charge.

“Keil…oh damn that feels good. I want you to roll over. Please?”

She felt his chuckle against her breast. “You going somewhere, little bird?” His mouth continued to feast on her as he pulled her into his arms and flipped them over, finishing with her nestled on top of him.

He was still suckling.

Robyn tucked up her legs to straddle Keil’s strong body, giving her some leverage. She slowly lifted her torso away from his caresses. The expression of loss on his face made her smile.

“It’s okay, wolfman, I’m not going anywhere but down.”

His puzzled expression faded as heat flared in Keil’s eyes. Robyn winked and started the exploring she wanted to do.

His body was amazing, and all hers to enjoy. Taut chest muscles that flexed under her hands, nipples that tightened as she stroked her fingers over their tips. He seemed to enjoy her touch there as much as she had enjoyed his. She lowered her mouth to lick gently at the erect tip.

His body jerked. Yup, he liked it too. Robyn copied his earlier example and blew. Another body jerk followed.

“You’re killing…”

She moved farther south, her tongue lapping over the edges of the six-pack that had impressed her that first night together, the ridges sharp and defined as his muscles clenched with anticipation.

“Please…”

Robyn slid between Keil’s thighs as she descended his body. She paused, resting on her elbows, to examine him in all his glory. His erect cock saluted her only inches away. The head had turned a rich purple shade, a bead of moisture shining on the slit. The edges of the mushroom-shaped top sloped sharply to the rigid shaft.

She slipped out the tip of her tongue. Soft, tentative in her touch.

“Holy…”

Robyn flicked a glance up to see Keil’s dark eyes flashing at her. She liked that he was unable to complete full sentences. She liked the way his body responded to her touch. She must be doing something right.

Heat poured off him and the scent of raw sex in the air was driving her wild. She grinned, and maintaining eye contact, she sucked the head of his cock into her mouth.

His eyes rolled back in his head and his six-pack tightened further. If that was possible.

Robyn fell into a rhythm, a swirl of her tongue over the edge of the rim followed by an attempt to take as much of Keil into her mouth as possible. The first couple of times she gagged a little as the crown of his cock hit the back of her throat. The wetter her mouth got, the easier it was to slip him past her lips even as she felt him grow harder. Thicker.

Her excitement grew as well. Touching Keil, pleasuring him like this, turned her on big time, getting her all hot and bothered. She closed her eyes and hummed with delight.

“Damn it, that’s enough. I’m not wasting this.”

Keil’s powerful arms lifted her away from his body and swung her around, finishing with his body pressed hard to her back. His cock nestled between her legs and Robyn instinctively threw out her arms to catch her body before it could hit the mattress.

“I was enjoying myself! I wanted to make you feel good.”

“Babe, I feel great. But I don’t want to come in your mouth tonight. I want your hot, tight body to squeeze me. I want to feel you milk me when you come. Tonight is for both of us. Now, open your legs wider.”

Keil’s hand smoothed over her hip and pressed her body lower to the mattress, exposing her more clearly to his gaze.

“Damn, you are beautiful. Everywhere. Like a flower opening up to me, dew glistening on the petals.” He shifted his body away, letting his fingers dip into her passage. He drew some of her cream up, bringing moisture toward the tight rosebud hidden between her cheeks. She stiffened, trying to wiggle away from the exploring finger that circled, touched. Teased.

“Whoa, I’m not sure about that.”

“Hush. I’m not going to do anything you won’t like. Someday I’m going to take you in the ass, but not today. Today I’ll show you something special. Trust me.”

His hands were everywhere. Slipping over her breasts, tweaking her nipples to hard needy peaks before swirling over her belly and pressing intimately against her clit. A finger slid inside her, stroked a few times then withdrew, leaving her feeling empty. Then he started all over.

Robyn pressed her hips back, trying to make contact with his body. “No more teasing. I need you. Please.”

Suddenly he was there, skin-to-skin with her, his hard, hot cock against her core. Keil leaned forward and his mouth latched onto her shoulder. He sucked hard, his teeth pressing the skin. He covered the place where he’d marked her earlier, and as he sucked, a bolt of lightning flashed through her and set off an orgasm that she swore shook the cabin.

And the mountain. Possibly the entire territory, but she could be mistaken about that.

Then he surged into her in one smooth motion that set off another explosion that registered on the Richter scale.

Damn, he was good.

Keil set up a smooth pace that buried his entire length deep inside her on every thrust, his balls slamming into her. His hands held her hips firmly and he used them to pull her back even more forcibly onto him as his speed picked up.

“I’ve wanted you like this since the beginning, Robyn. You can’t know how much it turns me on to see you in front of me, spread for my pleasure, your breasts swaying. You’re so hot and wet and tight around me. Your ass is beautiful, smooth and inviting.” He shifted one hand to run over the sensitive nerves of her anus, dipping a finger past the rim even as he continued to pump into her with his cock.

Robyn’s body was on overload. She hadn’t come down from the last climax and every nerve in her body tingled. Her breasts rubbed the sleeping bag every time Keil entered her body. His shaft seemed to grow in size as Keil’s finger pressed even farther into her ass to start a rhythm in time with the thrusts of his cock. The double penetration made her grow wetter than ever as all the sensations drew to another peak. The unending in and out strokes built heat where she thought there was nothing left to burn.

His free hand slipped around her body to touch her clit and she screamed, the wildfire ripping through her consuming every available inch of skin and tissue. Keil’s body slammed into her one last time and she felt the flood of warmth from his release, felt the hard length within her jerk again and again as his hands locked them together.

It was hours later, she was sure of it, before she had enough energy to even draw a breath of air into her lungs. Her body tingled from top to bottom, although she had to admit that the bottom area tingled a bit more than anywhere else.

Keil’s body reluctantly pulled away from her and she mourned the loss. She was resting on the platform trying to catch her breath, head down and butt up in the air, when a soft warm cloth slipped over her. Keil cleaned her up with such a gentle touch she wasn’t even sure he was there the whole time.

He picked her up and held her close as he sat them in front of the fire. She slipped a hand over his jaw and smiled at him. His dark eyes stared down, the heat of passion still, there but something else as well. Something gentle and deep and forever.

Robyn laid her head against Keil’s chest. She swore that she heard his heart beating.

For her.

Only for her.
