Chapter Four
The sunlight shining through the window was what woke Victoria up first. The glare of the sun made it hard for her to see. Last night she’d opened the windows to watch the night and the snow covered mountains she saw from her bedroom window. The tranquil beauty helped to ease her troubled thoughts before going to sleep. The next thing she became aware of was the tight arms wrapped around her waist.
The arms holding her were thick and strong. Looking behind her she saw Scorch staring down at her. Neither of them spoke. She was caught up in his gaze. His blue eyes always saw too much. Down she went to the plumpness of his lips. What would they feel like pressed against her own? For all of her adult life she’d never cared about sex or members of the opposite sex. Before her parents joined Chain’s pack she thought her life would be like theirs. Find the mate destined for her, get married, have a child, maybe more than one, and grow old together. Then Chain had taken their love and smashed it into the ground, using every opportunity to mock what they’d gained together.
“Why are you here?” she asked, loving the warmth of his arms wrapped around her. He went to pull away. She held him still not wanting him to leave.
“You had a bad dream, and I couldn’t leave you like that.”
“A bad dream?” she asked, frowning.
“You were upset, whimpering in your sleep.”
“I didn’t mean to wake you.”
“You didn’t wake me, baby.”
Baby, he called her baby. Smiling, she dropped her gaze back to his lips. Licking her own, she suddenly felt dry, parched even.
His fingers stroked her side, caressing her skin. She suddenly became aware of his na**d state. His c**k pressed against her hip, and she gasped.
Why was he hard?
“Do you need to use the bathroom?” she asked.
He laughed. “No, I want something else entirely.” His gaze dropped to her lips. The tension mounted between them. “I’ve never done anything that a woman hasn’t wanted before, Tori. I need you to tell me to stop.”
Did she want him to stop? She’d never been kissed before by anyone.
“I don’t want to tell you to stop,” she said, forcing the words out of her mouth. With his hands wrapped around her body, he slowly lowered down. Each inch he moved drew him closer to her. The smell of the ice, the forest clung to his skin.
Home.
In Scorch’s arms she felt at home within his touch.
When his lips touched hers, she moaned, opening up. He didn’t take advantage. His tongue licked along her lips before slowly easing into her mouth. She kissed him back wanting his touch to last far longer than anything else she’d ever experienced. Victoria would give up everything to feel his arms wrapped around her and his lips taking possession of her own.
No one was there to witness her need or to see what he did to her. Heat flooded her pu**y. The instant spike of need took her unaware. He held her tighter, his touch firm but not intended to hurt.
Soon, his tongue plundered her mouth, spiking the heat within her body.
“Tell me to stop,” he said, muttering the words against her lips.
“I don’t want you to. Please, Scorch, I want this. Don’t deny me.” She’d never begged for anything in all of her life. Victoria would beg to feel Scorch’s touch all the time.
“You’re a virgin.”
She jerked, looking up at him. “How do you know?”
“I’m an alpha and a wolf. If I didn’t know what innocence smelled like the only excuse I could give would be my lack of sense of smell.” One of his hands moved from around her waist, to cup her cheek. “We’ll take this slow if this is what you want.”
Covering his hand where it held her cheek, she pulled him down until he cupped her breast. Chain wasn’t here. He wasn’t ordering her in this moment. For once, Victoria was doing something she wanted to do. “I want this. I know you’re not forcing me to want it.”
She released his hand feeling his fingers graze over her tight nipple.
Scorch released her arms, pulling the blankets away from her body. She didn’t fight to keep them on, watching him as he pulled the sheets away. The curtains remained open, but he closed the window cutting off the chill.
“I don’t want you to get a cold.”
Her heart pounded as she saw the evidence of his arousal standing straight out. She’d seen na**d men before but none of them with such potent evidence of what they could do with their cocks. The tip looked red and swollen. He locked the door on his way back to her.
“No one will interrupt us.”
There were no doubts as he knelt on the bed coming toward her. Staring into his eyes, she knew what she was doing. He reached out, holding onto the nightshirt she wore.
“Nothing between us, Victoria.”
I’m going to have sex. I’m going to have sex.
She felt giddy at the thought of finally giving herself to a man whom she wanted more than anything. Scorch was sex on legs, and the longer she was away from Chain, the happier she was starting to feel. He didn’t control her in what she gave to Scorch. This was about her, no one else.
He tore the shirt over her head leaving her exposed. Next, the panties were taken until they were both naked. Scorch picked up her feet and started to caress the soles of her feet and up to her toes.
At first she started to giggle and then moan as the pleasure swamped her. Chain disappeared from her thoughts. In that moment Victoria felt like she and Scorch were the only two people on the planet. He stared into her eyes, capturing her with his gaze. Up her leg he went, massaging her calf then up her thigh. His touch was so close to her pu**y, but he released her before he touched her. Moaning, she watched him hold onto her second foot repeating the massage all the way up her leg.
“You’re very impatient, Tori. We barely know each other,” Scorch said. He flipped her over so she lay on her front.
“We’re wolves. We’re not known for taking things slowly.”
“Give me an example.” His hands landed on the base of her back. She groaned as his thumbs were sheer heaven against the muscles. Victoria hadn’t been touched like this at all. Everything he did ignited a fire within her body.
“My parents were married within the month of meeting each other. Once they saw each other, they knew what their future would hold.” Thinking about her parents made her ache deep in her heart. She wouldn’t see the love blooming between them again.
“It was the same for my folks,” he said, rubbing circles up and down her back. Scorch took his time making her melt with every touch of his fingers.
