Hidden Moon (The Stoneridge Pack Book 4), page 32
“Deal with it yourself,” Grey said with a shrug before he kicked the door closed behind him.
Grey shifted me in his grip, and I automatically wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. My body pushed flush against his. I could feel the promise of his hard cock grinding against my core as we walked, and I all but melted in his arms. It had been too long since my alpha had claimed me, and it was exactly what I needed to clear my mind right now—total surrender.
Grey held me tightly against him as he plundered my lips, then suddenly, he dropped me back down onto my feet, so I was standing at the end of the bed. Walking slowly backward, his eyes roamed over my body before he came to a stop, leaning back against the door, watching me closely.
“Take off your clothes, Calli,” he growled low at me.
My hands moved to the hem of my shirt without a second thought. Ripping it over my head, I dropped it to the ground as my hands moved to the button on my jeans. I should probably be doing this in some sexy way, but I was too excited to slow down now. I could already feel my arousal slickening between my legs, and my hands shook as I pushed my jeans to the ground.
Standing in front of Grey in my underwear, I locked eyes with him again.
“All of them,” he instructed, just as I’d known he would.
Trailing my hands up my body, I cupped my breasts before I unfastened the clasp at the front. There was something so sexy about front fastening bras, and from the way Grey licked his lips, he was in complete agreement.
Pushing the straps off my shoulders, I let the garment fall to the ground. I delicately brushed over my hardening nipples with my thumbs. Grey’s eyes squinted in annoyance, and I knew he didn’t like me teasing him. So rather than pushing him any further, I pulled my underwear over my hips and let them fall to the ground before stepping out.
Standing completely bare before Grey didn’t make me feel small or weak. It made me feel strong. I knew how much he wanted me. I could see the evidence of it straining against his jeans. I also knew that even though Grey might be calling the shots, I was the one with the power in this situation. Nothing would happen that I didn’t want to happen, and there was something so incredibly sexy about that.
“You like to tease, don’t you,” Grey growled. “Now, sit on the edge of the bed and spread your legs. I want to see you dip those fingers into your pussy and tease your clit. But don’t you dare come, Calli. That orgasm is mine, and you have to earn it first.”
My knees weakened at the growled instructions. I’d never done this with anyone else before. I’d never had any desire to try. But Grey was my alpha, and when he embraced this dominant side of his personality, it made me want to drop to my knees and beg for more.
There was nothing sexier than my alpha taking charge. And I’d do anything he asked me to.
Perching myself on the edge of the bed, I did exactly as instructed and opened my legs wide before trailing my hand up my thigh. Running my fingers through my folds, I coated them in my slick arousal and then dipped two straight inside me.
My breath caught at the feeling of finally having something inside me.
“Use your other hand to play with your clit, Calli. I want to see you ride those fingers as you work yourself toward the edge.”
Bringing my other hand to my needy bud, I drew the pad of a single finger across its surface. My hips surged forward, and I fell back on the bed with a breathy moan as I sank into the sensations I was teasing out of my body.
Doing exactly as instructed, even without having to think about it, my hips rolled as I rode my fingers, working my clit in time with my movements.
“How does it feel, Calli?” Grey asked, sounding closer than he had before.
“It feels incredible,” I confessed. “But I want more. I need you, Grey.” I wasn’t above begging, and what I wanted more than anything right now was to feel Grey’s cock in my mouth.
“I know you do, but you haven’t finished what I asked yet,” he said, sounding pretty confident in himself. “Now, take yourself to the edge, Calli. But don’t you dare come,” he warned.
The way he growled out his warning had me whimpering in need. As much as I wanted him, I also knew I wouldn’t get what I wanted until I’d done as he asked. It wasn’t exactly a hardship to do as he’d instructed, and the reward for being his good girl would be high.
Picking up the pace, I added another finger inside my needy pussy and started to imagine that it was Grey’s tongue flicking against my clit instead of just my hand.
“Don’t close your eyes,” Grey told me.
Fluttering them open, I hadn’t even realised I’d closed them. But the sight in front of me had me groaning in desire. Grey had lost all of his clothes and was standing naked at the side of the bed. His hard cock was in his hand as he lazily stroked its length up and down.
The sight was enough to bring me to the edge, and I whimpered again, knowing that I wasn’t allowed to come yet.
“I’m so close,” I whimpered, looking up at Grey.
“Don’t stop, Calli. You can hold it back. I know you can.”
As he spoke, Grey ran his thumb through the pre-come on the tip of his cock and bent over the bed to bring it to my lips. I greedily sucked his thumb into my mouth, savouring the taste of him on my tongue.
“That’s my good girl,” Grey purred. “It’s going to be so good when you finally let go.”
My breaths were coming out in pants as I edged closer and closer to the orgasm I was desperate to have. I could feel my body starting to quiver from the need building inside of me.
When I was at the point where I didn’t think I could take it any more, Grey pulled my hand away from my clit and sucked my fingers into his mouth, cleaning them of my arousal. I pumped my fingers faster inside my pussy as I watched his tongue run around each finger.
“Get on your knees. Face to the bed and ass in the air,” Grey instructed.
Reluctantly, pulling my fingers out of my core, I rolled to my front. The shaking in my legs screamed of the anticipation of finally having Grey touch me the way I wanted him to.
I felt the cool air of the room moving across the damp heat of my core as Grey came to kneel behind me. His hands ran up my spine, making his hard cock brush against my core as he moved.
As Grey’s hands stroked back down my spine, they followed the curve of my ass as he reverently swept them across the skin of my bottom.
“Is there anything you want to take off the table?” Grey asked me, stroking his hand across my ass as he did.
I knew what he was asking. I knew what he wanted to do, and the clench of my core was indication enough that I wanted to try it out too.
“No,” I whispered. “I want you to do whatever you want to me. I’m yours, alpha.”
Grey groaned at the sound of the words slipping from my lips, and I barely had a second to prepare myself as his hand left my ass and then suddenly slapped back down.
Heat flared across my cheek, but the flash of pain was quickly soothed away as he stroked his palm across the skin.
It was a curious sensation, and I found that I didn’t hate it. When his palm spanked back down on my ass again, I found that flash of pain flowed to my pussy instead, and I could feel my arousal starting to coat my thighs.
“Again,” I whimpered when the next spank didn’t come quick enough.
Grey groaned in delight as his hand slapped back down again. “You look so beautiful right now,” he told me as his lips met my cheek and kissed the sting away.
Just feeling his lips against my skin had the need flaring even higher, and my hips moved, needing to feel something inside of me.
Grey trailed one hand up my thigh, and just as his fingers grazed across my clit, his other hand spanked down on my ass again. I cried out this time, not from the pain, but from the feeling of finally having Grey touch me where I wanted.
My hips rolled again, but it made Grey’s hand pull away. He wasn’t going to let me have what I needed unless it was on his terms, and for some reason, that made me even more desperate for the orgasm I was being denied.
“Are you ready, Calli?” Grey asked, spanking his hand down on my ass again and then soothing away the sting. “Do you think I should let you come now?”
As he spoke, his cock grazed along my folds, moving my arousal up between my ass cheeks, and then he ran the tip back to my pussy again.
Again and again, he moved his cock against me, never giving me what I wanted.
I held as still as I could, knowing that moving would only prolong the torture of waiting. My thighs shook from the strain, and then it all happened at once.
Grey’s hand slammed back down on my ass harder than the previous times, and he worked his fingers over my clit as he thrust his full length inside of me.
The orgasm burst through me, setting fire to all of my senses as I screamed through my release. I could hear Grey’s words of praise as he slowly moved inside me, riding through wave after wave of pleasure as they slammed into me.
“Please, Grey, I need…” I had no idea what I needed. All I knew was that something was missing, and I was nearly desperate to have it.
“I know exactly what you need,” Grey growled before his thrusts grew harder, and he started to fuck me just how I wanted.
It was impossible to hold still, and I rocked back against him, meeting every one of Grey’s thrusts with my own. He ground his length inside me as he took complete possession of my body, and I revelled in it.
His thick length surging into my core was the only thing I could think about. It was like I couldn’t possibly exist outside of this moment. There was nothing but Grey and me. The rest of the world and all of our problems fell away.
With one hand gripping firmly onto my hip, I felt Grey’s other hand smooth over my ass again where he’d spanked me earlier. My pussy quivered at the sensation, and Grey gave a masculine chuckle of self-confidence as he no doubt felt it.
But instead of spanking me again like I was starting to want him to, he moved that hand to my rosette that was now slick from where his cock had spread my own juices.
“You have such a beautiful ass, Calli,” Grey purred, but I could tell he was straining to hold back from his own release.
Grey’s thumb pressed down against my asshole, and I gasped as he pushed inside me. Then, slowing down his thrusts, he started to gently fuck my ass in time with his cock.
“I want to take your ass so much,” he groaned.
“Please,” I begged, loving the feeling and knowing I wanted more.
I pushed back against him, and Grey groaned in approval.
“Do you want more?” he asked.
“Please…yes…god, Grey, I just…” I couldn’t form a thought, let alone a complete sentence. All I knew was that I needed more than the gentle teasing he was giving my ass right now.
Grey pulled out of my pussy, and I whined in distress at the feeling. I’d never felt this needy before. I could feel my wolf surging to the surface, wanting more from our mate.
Grey’s fingers speared into my core as he roughly fucked me with them, dragging them out and coating my asshole with my own come.
“You can’t take my cock. We don’t have any lube,” he warned me, and I felt my stomach surge at the disappointment. “But I can give you more,” he growled.
My hands fisted in the bedsheets as Grey slammed his cock back into my pussy and started to slowly keep up the momentum inside of me. This time when his hand came back to my ass, I knew exactly what to expect, and I was absolutely desperate for it.
Slowly, Grey pushed one finger inside of me, gently fucking me as he massaged the ring of muscles. It felt incredible. It was like he’d set an electric current racing through my body. Every movement pushed me closer and closer to the orgasm building inside of me.
When I felt the pressure of Grey pushing a second finger into me, I tensed.
“Relax, Calli. I’m not going to hurt you,” Grey soothed, picking up the pace of his cock inside my pussy.
Tilting his hips, Grey surged over my g-spot, and I melted into the bed. It was all he needed to push that second finger into my ass, and as he started to move them inside of me, it finally tipped me over the edge.
The orgasm pounded into me without any warning, and I came with another scream. The top half of my body flew up from the bed as my pussy clamped down on Grey’s cock. Pulling his fingers from my ass, Grey wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close to his chest as he came deep inside me, biting down into his mating mark as he did.
White lights flashed in front of my eyes as I fell straight into a third orgasm. Reaching back, I grabbed onto Grey’s hair, holding him to my neck as he bit deeper, still moving inside of me. I could hear the howl of joy from our wolves echoing through my mind as I slowly started to float back down to reality.
My chest heaved as I panted, trying to suck in enough oxygen to recover some kind of sense in my body. I felt like my mind had flown away from my body on the waves of euphoria that surged from me.
Grey gently lowered me to the bed as he withdrew from me, cuddling me against him.
“That. Was. Incredible,” I panted out, reaching up and lazily patting Grey on the chest in congratulations.
The huff of amusement from Grey spoke of how tired he was as well.
“I didn’t hurt you, did I?” he asked shyly, pulling me closer.
“There was absolutely nothing you did to me that I didn’t want and crave,” I reassured him.
I knew it was hard for Grey to embrace this dominant side. It wasn’t anything he’d had to deal with before. Neither of us had been virgins when we came into this relationship but being able to explore this new side of Grey made me feel like this was a part of him that was all mine.
Grey threaded his fingers through mine before he brought our joined hands up to his lips and placed a soft kiss over them.
“I love you, Calli,” he whispered before laying a second kiss on my knuckles. “I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.”
My heart warmed with love for my mate. He might be a big growly wolf at times, but I knew Grey would always be there for me. Besides, it was my fault that he had to deal with this new side of himself anyway.
“I’m sorry about how I reacted when Felix arrived,” Grey started. “I shouldn’t have walked away. It was hard seeing you with another man, and it felt like he knew you so much better than I did. I just…”
“Grey, you don’t have to apologise,” I reassured him, twisting, so I could lean on one elbow and see his face. “Felix is someone I’ve known for years, and yes, we have history. Not the sexy kind,” I quickly added before I got myself into any more trouble. “But you never have to be worried about other men in my life. I have my mates, and you’re all I need. When I imagine my life in the future, it’s with you and the others by my side. No one else. Geez, I’m only one woman, and I can barely keep up with you five,” I joked.
Grey chuckled in amusement at my lame joke, his hand coming up to run along my cheek. “And what does this future look like?” he asked.
“You know, you’re not the first person to ask me that.”
Did everyone have all these future plans, and I was still stuck on the idea of just trying to survive this mess?
“Hmmm, really? I’m going to guess it was River. He was always anally organised even when we were kids.”
“Be nice!” I laughed, playfully slapping him on the chest and not quite being able to admit it had been River.
“Do you, maybe, see a couple more pups in that future you definitely haven’t been thinking about?” Grey asked, trying to sound casual about it.
“Do you?” I asked, leaning my chin on his chest to stare up into his now blushing face.
The half-smile on Grey’s face was one that came from thinking of happier things rather than any kind of self-confidence. Maybe there was something to thinking about the happy ever after that would come after we’d dealt with this nightmare. You had to know what you were fighting for if you had any chance of surviving.
“Yeah. I think I’d like to fill that house with pups,” Grey told me dreamily. “Even if they aren’t all ours, they will always be pack, and we’ll love them all the same. There must be a lot of pups out there that have lost their families in this fight.”
I didn’t want to burst his bubble by saying that I doubted Stone would have let the children go. But Grey did have a point. Where were the children? It was something we should raise with Sean and Wells later.
“That sounds like a good idea to me,” I agreed, and was then hit by a yawn as exhaustion settled in around me.
Grey pulled me up onto the pillow and then slipped out of bed and headed into the bathroom. I could feel my eyelids slowly falling as I fought to stay awake. Talking about what we wanted to come next was suddenly the only thing on my mind. I wanted to daydream with Grey about the future we’d have when we returned to the packhouse.
Grey returned with a damp cloth and cleaned me up before settling back into the bed and pulling me into his arms.
“Sleep, Calli,” he whispered, kissing the top of my head. “Dream about our family, our pack, and tomorrow, we’ll start making it a reality.”
My eyes fluttered closed as I gave up the fight to stay awake, Grey’s words echoing through my mind as I drifted off to sleep. We’d find a way out of this and get back to the packhouse sitting amongst the trees. The pack we’d been building had been beautiful, and there was still so much more we wanted to do. I wouldn’t let Stone take that away from us.

TANNER
I must have stared at that closed bedroom door for all of five minutes before I decided I needed some fresh air. With Grey putting us on lockdown, that wasn’t going to happen. I could have snuck out and gone after the others, but he was right that we should stay close to the house until we at least knew what the others had uncovered.
“I think I’m in desperate need of finding a snack,” Lachlan suddenly said, drawing my attention from the wooden door.
