Marilu Mann - Changing Focus

Growling against her pussy, Micah sucked at her clit, pushing two fingers into her body, curving them slightly as he pulled them out and listening to her cries of pleasure. Olivia pumped her hips, her grip tightening on his hair and her other hand pinching hard at her nipple. He moved his other hand up to pinch the neglected nipple and Olivia screamed out her release.

Before he could temper his thoughts, even analyze what he was doing, Micah flipped her over onto her stomach. Olivia groaned and pushed her rear up slightly. Micah grabbed her hips, pulling her toward his very eager body and guiding his cock with one hand, slid inside her wet, welcoming body.

Olivia threw her head back at his first thrust, then dropped her shoulders back to the bench. Micah covered her with his body, pushing hard and fast into her then pulling almost all the way out and reentering her slowly.

He leaned back again so he could watch his cock disappearing inside her body. Olivia pushed up again then looked at him over her shoulder. “Micah, more, more.”

“Yes, Liv, more.” Gripping her hips, he started a pounding rhythm. Sweat poured off his body and hers, making his hold on her slip. Olivia reached back, grabbing his hand and pulling it toward her breasts. Instead of letting him cup her breast, however, she pulled it farther up her body as he continued to take her. Micah felt his eyes roll back in his head when she sucked on his forefinger.

He came with a shout, pushing deep inside her body, feeling her contract around him and feeling the scream she blocked with his finger in her mouth. Olivia let go of his finger and dropped her head back down onto the towel. Micah slowly pulled himself out of her body and sat down before his knees gave out.

He knew they couldn’t stay in the sauna much longer, but at the moment, all he could really concentrate on was breathing. Liv lay on her stomach, one hand by her head, the other still holding his hand. She opened those beautiful blue eyes and smiled at him and Micah felt his heart start pounding.

Olivia was his mate, his love, the woman he wanted for his own for all time. Now how to convince her that they could share a life? Share the joys of being shifters, share the feeling of freedom and happiness from being a wolf and a human and share the rearing of children, Talia among them. He had to convince her to accept her wolf, then he’d work on convincing her to accept him as her life mate.

First though, he had to get her to the Gathering so the others in the Pack could meet her. If Pete had said even one word to his mate Margie, the entire Pack knew and probably the ones two states away. Margie did love to tell a good story. Micah smiled down at Olivia.

“Tomorrow night is a special night for our kind. There will be a Gathering. Though it’s not a full moon, it is important. All the members of the local Pack will be there.” At her flinch, Micah smoothed his fingers down her head onto her spine. “Let’s move out of here and go talk.”

Olivia wondered if Micah had some superhuman strength. First he fucked her nearly senseless, then he just sat there as though he could go again. A motion caught her eye as his fingers traced her flesh. His legs are shaking. Ha! Not so tough-just better at hiding it!

“Where do you want to go to talk, Micah?” Olivia reached out to slowly drag her fingers down his thigh. His shudder brought a very self-satisfied grin to her lips.

“Liv.” He grabbed her hand. “If you do that, we won’t leave the sauna and that would be bad for both of us. Come with me.”

Wrapping the towel around her body, Olivia shook her hair out of her eyes and followed him. Micah picked up his clothes and her robe on the way out of the sauna room.

“Normally, we might take a cold shower or dive into a snowbank or,” he grinned at her, “we might shift and go for a run. But for now, all I want to do is curl up in your bed with my arms around you. We can let Talia have dinner with us in the room. She’d like that.” He paused with a wary look in his eyes. “It’s good for our young to know they have adults they can trust.”

Olivia’s throat suddenly felt as if it were slamming shut. Talia needed what she hadn’t had as a child. Nodding at Micah, she motioned for him to lead the way. Fearing if she spoke her voice would betray the hot, sharp, almost jealousy she felt, Olivia remained silent until they reached her room.

Micah seemed almost shy when they got there. She went in but he didn’t follow.

“What? Are you also some kind of vampire?” Olivia laughed as she tugged him into her room. “C’mon, you already know you are welcome here and you’ve been in before.”

“That was different. Now you know what you are and there are rules about a female’s room. Liv,” Micah’s voice deepened as he focused an intense gaze on her. “In the Pack, the female has a lot of power. If you told me to leave, I would have to. And there’s no such thing as vampires. That’s just a story someone made up to scare children.”

She couldn’t help it-she laughed so hard she cried. Waving a hand at Micah’s puzzled look, she gasped, “A werewolf is telling me vampires are fictional characters. That’s rich. Don’t you see the irony?”

His head cocked to the side for a moment then a smile split his face. “Yes, I see your point. Still, as far as I know, vampires do not exist. But if they did,” he stroked her cheek, “I would kill them if they wanted to harm you. I…” His voice trailed off.

“What, Micah?”

He just shook his head and pulled her in for a kiss. She sighed into the heat of him, returning the soft kisses. There was no urgency from him. Just a long, deep kiss that spoke to her of safety and belonging. She pulled back slightly. It was almost more intimate than making love.

“Micah? What were you going to say?” Still, he shook his head. Nothing she did coaxed the lost phrase out of his mouth, so she turned the covers down on the bed.

“Come take a nap with me?”

He nodded. Olivia dropped the towel and crawled onto the bed. Micah tossed his clothes over a chair and joined her. When she lay down on her side, he fitted his body behind hers, wrapping his arm securely around her middle. Olivia sighed and smiled.

She could feel Micah’s heart beating, his comforting scent filled her head and when he nuzzled into her hair to kiss her head, she felt better than she had in ages. With the steady sound behind her and his warmth all around her, it didn’t take Olivia long to fall asleep.

Micah propped himself up slightly so he could see Olivia’s face. She slept peacefully, her body pliant in his arms. He meant what he’d said, he’d fight any foe to keep her just this way-at peace and in his bed. With a smile, he sent a mental query out to Gareth.

Where are you? He got a mental picture in reply. Gareth had taken Talia with him to the rez. She was playing with one of Pete and Margie’s grandchildren and they’d be home in time for dinner.

Grinning, Micah lay back down to stroke his hand down Olivia’s side. She sighed and rolled toward him. Cupping one of her breasts, Micah closed his eyes. He jerked to wakefulness when the bell over the front door rang. Sliding out of bed, he glanced at the bedside clock to see that several hours had passed.

Pulling his jeans on and grabbing the rest of his clothes, Micah went back over to the bed. He leaned over to kiss Olivia, smiling when she stretched and opened her eyes.

“Did you sleep well?”

“Better than I have in ages. Where are you going?”

“Gareth and Talia are back. I’m going to run upstairs for a quick shower then go down to start dinner.” When she smiled and threw the covers back, Micah backed away from the bed.

“Don’t tempt me, Liv. If I shower with you, either here or in my room, I’m going to want to make love to you again. That will make both of us very late for dinner. Besides, Talia is going to want to tell you all about her afternoon at the reservation.” With a final regretful look at her lovely nakedness, Micah leaned down for another quick kiss.
