Chapter 70

Rachel POV

Wright House

"I don't like living without you."

Tyler had never been a romantic man; hearing him confess he missed me made me hotter than his kiss.

I responded to his words as much as his lips as we kissed as passionately as teenagers. I stopped trying to find air when I realized I could steal the breath from his mouth easier than breathing on my own. We kissed so long I was dizzy, swaying on my feet enough for Tyler to finally sweep me up in his arms.

"Can I take you to bed?"

He'd never asked me before.

"Yes."

My words were as breathless as I was and I kissed him everywhere I could reach as he carried me into the bedroom we'd shared during our mating. I saw more signs of life as he brought me to bed. I wondered if Tyler was trying to fill the hole I had left behind with pieces of himself spread throughout the empty house.

I wondered if he could chisel away enough pieces of himself to forget what pieces I'd taken with me. I knew the holes Tyler had left in me couldn't be filled with anything other than him.

More importantly, I knew my wolf, Rayne, wouldn't return unless his wolf, Wynd, returned first. We would both live a half-life if we couldn't regain our wolves.

Tyler lay me on the bed and settled over me for more kissing. I pulled at my skirt to raise it up to my hips. I had not intended to make love with him, but I wanted to feel whole again even if only for a few minutes.

"No, no, no. Wait. I didn't bring you here for that."

"What?" I asked, trying to determine what Tyler meant since all I could think about was how hot and bothered he'd gotten me.

For a moment, I had a horrible, sinking feeling I had misunderstood entirely. I thought Tyler was rejecting me and I wanted the earth to open beneath me so I could disappear.

"I brought you a present. Remember? That's why we're here. Why I had to bring you here, I mean."

Tyler left me to sit up on the bed while he went to retrieve the small bag he'd brought me earlier. I had forgotten about it entirely during our makeout session. I ran my fingers through my hair while I tried to think of any gift Tyler might want to give me before I left for my mother's pack. What would be important enough to stop kissing me?

I was more curious than upset by the time he returned.

"Here," Tyler offered me the bag and I noticed a red flush on his cheeks I knew wasn't from exertion.

I reached into the pink tissue to find a small box. Pulling it out, I blushed furiously myself as I realized he'd bought me a vibrator.

"Oh! I---thank you?"

Sex toys weren't on my list of commonly used items. I had bought one in my entire life and it had been so loud when I turned it on I'd turned it right back off then threw it away before someone could catch me with it. My experience with vibrators ended there though I had read about them.

"You're welcome."

Tyler's voice was husky and low. I could tell he was as aroused as ever though I wasn't sure what I was meant to do now he'd given me a toy. What did he expect now?

I didn't know and, for a change, I decided to ask rather than make guesses while hoping I was close to being right if not entirely right.

"I don't understand. What do you---what am I supposed to do with this?"

Blood flooded my face as I met Tyler's eyes. I hoped he knew I wasn't rejecting the gift. I was only confused and embarrassed. All my sexual experience lay with him. I felt as bad as a virgin even though I was a pregnant woman who'd been mated for years.

"I thought you might want to use it. While you were visiting Moonglow Pack. You could think of me."

The rough growl behind his words was a hint to the animal which usually lay within him. I caught a glimpse of his wolf and felt an awakening in me as Rayne stretched inside my mind.

'Rayne?' I tried, hoping beyond hope my wolf was waking up.

'How long have I been asleep?'

'Too long.'

'Not long enough. I can't hear Wynd.'

Her voice was a mournful moan I pushed down. I was grateful for the return of my wolf, but I was more grateful for the potential return of Wynd.

I needed my Alpha to reclaim his Alpha.

"Wynd?"

"He's close," Tyler rasped, leaning in to kiss me again and nip my lips with sharp teeth he then used on my ear, my neck, down to my shoulder, "I see Rayne is awake in you. I've missed her, too. She's the best wolf an Alpha could have."

I felt my wolf preen at her Alpha's praise. I stretched beneath Tyler in response. His body was a heavy, masculine weight on me. His muscles were as hard as rock under my hands. I touched him everywhere I could, using both hands once he took the boxed gift from me.

Going up to his knees, Tyler opened the box to remove the vibrator. He showed it to me before reaching for my panties. I lifted my hips to let him pull the underwear down and lifted my legs to make it easy for him to pull them off.

I was glad he'd bothered to remove them rather than rip them off though I was close to thinking it would have been worth the sacrifice for the gleam of satisfaction in his eyes as he smelled my arousal. I parted my thighs for him in hopes of some satisfaction to come. I would let him do anything he wanted to me.

I was his---even if I had rejected him, he was still my Alpha mate.

Tyler lowered himself over me, adjusting his grip on the toy in a way to hold it cupped in his hand. I couldn't see it once he started kissing me again. I forgot about it when his tongue thrust between my lips for another taste.

Our kisses were deeper this time around. I wanted to enjoy the moment so I left my doubts and worries behind as I reveled in the feeling of my mate making love to my mouth with his own. My wolf stretched and howled inside with her desire to please her Alpha.

By the time Tyler turned the toy on, I felt as if my blood was jittering in my veins. He held the silky, curved toy against my mound, pressing it firmly against me as it vibrated against me almost without any sound at all. I could only just hear it even with my superior hearing, but the buzz it emitted was powerful enough to jolt me up from the bed.

"Oh! Tyler!"

His name was almost a curse leaping from my lips. I felt as if I were being shocked -pleasantly- as the toy stimulated me with enough intensity to bring me almost to the pinnacle of ecstasy in seconds.

"Good?"

"Beyond good."

Rayne rumbled about how our Alpha spoiled us while I cautiously lay back on the bed to match Tyler's urging. He pressed the toy back against me, covering my body with his own once more. I clutched his broad shoulders, his muscular biceps, gripped his shirt tight where it stretched over his rock hard abs.

I wasn't ready for the pleasure he was giving me.

My first orgasm startled his name from my lips again, "Tyler!"

He kissed me through it and moved the toy far enough away from me to let me enjoy my peak. I was kissing him leisurely, lazily even, when Tyler brought the toy back between my thighs.

My second orgasm caused my toes to curl and a sound I could only describe as a yelp to come out of me. Rayne tried to take over my body despite knowing I couldn't shift; my nails became claws which sank into Tyler's clothes, shredding the offensive fabric so I could touch skin to skin.

I was sure I was dying when Tyler didn't take the toy away after my second climax. He pressed it right against my swollen, throbbing clit and held me in place while the toy vibrated with enough force to cause a third, final orgasm to crash through my body.

My legs went out straight, stiff as boards. I could feel myself gush in release and I let out a wordless howl of pleasure which left me feeling as if I had left my body for a time. I floated above myself as immeasurable pleasure flowed through my body along every nerve, riding every drop of blood through every artery and vein.

I knew, in that moment, I would never want any other mate than Tyler Wright, my rejected Alpha mate who gave me so much pleasure while taking none for himself.
