The First Moon Read online

  Chapter Four

  The next two weeks were a complete dream. Roy spent every available moment convincing Kitty of his feelings and showing her what it meant to be truly wanted and desired. He tortured himself by staying away. She didn’t deserve to be rushed into anything. Roy didn’t need time to think about his feelings. Her scent, her personality, everything about her pulled him in.

  When he was around her, he was like a moth to a flame. Her entire aura burned brighter than any sunlight that he knew. Sitting across from her, he watched her tongue peek out the side of her mouth as she decided where to move. They were playing a game of chess and he could defeat her in three short moves, but he loved to watch her think it out. She took everything so seriously. Their time was running out, and before long he’d take her out into the night with the moon riding high in the sky. He would make love to her, claiming her for himself and for his wolf.

  Cutting off the thoughts, Roy couldn’t bring himself to think about walking away. Once he claimed her and she accepted his claiming, he had to walk off and leave for the next man to make his claim.

  In the forest, his brothers would be there, watching, waiting. When it was all over and she watched him leave, one of them would come up and embrace her. Then the cycle started again.

  Last chance.

  Shaking his head, he glanced up to see Kitty watching him. She must know their time was fast coming to an end. In the last two weeks he’d spent every available moment telling her how much he loved her while she hadn’t spoken the words to him.

  Part of him was terrified. If one of them was to fail then the claiming stopped altogether. The curse of the wolf would be complete, and they’d be bound to their wolves, never allowed to roam the world as a man.

  “Are you okay? You’ve gone really quiet. It’s kind of scary after you’ve done nothing but talk,” she said, moving her knight.

  He saw she was about to go into checkmate but decided not to end the game too soon.

  “I talk because you like being quiet.”

  “No, you’ve got a lot more fun tales to tell about your brothers. I’m going to tell them all, you know, how you used their misfortune to seduce me.”

  Roy chuckled as she waggled her brows, conspiring against him.

  “Kitty, you know—”

  She cut him off by holding up her hand. “I know what is going to happen tomorrow night, Roy. I can read a calendar and know our time together is coming to an end.” She stared down at her hands. “I don’t have to like what’s going to come. I’m going to miss you.”

  His heart soared.

  “You’ve liked our time together?” he asked.

  “I’ve never laughed so much in my life. When you actually put the effort in, you were amazing to be with, Roy.”

  Tears glistened in her eyes, and he felt like a total bastard. All he could think about was his own needs and feelings.

  “Don’t cry, baby.”

  Getting up from his seat on the floor, he rounded the table and wrapped his arms around her. She settled back against him, and his cock hardened at the feel of her. Apart from the odd kiss, neither of them had touched intimately. They cuddled together watching movies but nothing else. This was their first time really touching since he’d last taken her, and he was ready to fuck her again.

  His cock was begging, and his wolf was so close to the surface, he threatened to split his skin ready to get out to her.

  “It’s going to happen again, isn’t it?” She ran a hand over her face as she turned her head against his chest. He held her tight as she sighed. “No, I can’t do this.” She pulled out of his arms, and he watched her put away their unfinished game of chess. He hated this. Causing her pain was never his intention.

  Following her through to the kitchen, he watched her lean against the sink with her back to him.

  “It’s the full moon tomorrow.”

  “I know. You need me to let the claiming happen.” She turned toward him. “I get what I need to do. Tom let me know, and I thought I understood everything that is going on, but I don’t, do I? There is a lot more going on here than any of you are telling me.”

  Roy gritted his teeth. “I cannot tell you what you want to know. I love you, Kitty, and I wish I could spare you this pain, but I can’t.” He reached out, touching her shoulder. For two weeks he’d not touched her, and now he didn’t want to stop.

  After tomorrow night he wouldn’t get to see her until the next claiming, and he certainly wouldn’t get to be with her until Tom completed the claiming and they all possessed her. Only when they all claimed her would he get the chance to be with her forever.

  “You can’t do any of these things.”

  She turned back to him, wiping her hands on a towel. Tears were in her eyes, but they hadn’t fallen down her cheeks. He watched her fight to keep her emotions at bay.

  Caressing her face with his knuckles, he felt his heart ache for her.

  “No, I can’t help you. What I can do is tell you how I feel and what I want to do with you. Our time together is not over. We’ve got a lifetime together.”

  “How many women have failed to complete the claiming?”

  “None. It’s an emotional process, baby. We don’t know what you’re going through, but we’re going through something similar. I promise you, we’re not going away unscathed by this process.”

  She looked somewhere past his shoulder. He wished he knew what was going on through her mind. “I’m sorry. It’s silly, these thoughts and feelings.”

  “No, it’s not silly. These thoughts are part of you. I never want you to feel something and be afraid to tell me.” Leaning down, he pressed his lips to hers. “When all of this is over you can come to me and I’ll protect you.”

  Roy’s kiss made Kitty tingle all over. In two weeks he’d invaded her heart, and now she was scared about what was to come. Watching him walk away was going to hurt something deep inside her. She didn’t know how other women survived this kind of torture. Falling in love, making love, and watching the man that had come to mean so much to you leave was so hard.

  “Go to bed, baby. It’s late, and you need your sleep.”

  Nodding, she pressed another kiss to his lips and made her way upstairs.

  She stared for the longest time at her reflection in the mirror. Her skin looked pale and her eyes wide.

  Touching her lips, she closed her eyes imagining Roy in the bathroom with her. When she could no longer feel his touch, she opened her eyes, removed her clothing and stood under the warm water of the shower.

  Give yourself to him.

  You’re in love with him and the Snow men already.

  They’ve given you so much in such a short time.

  Kitty pushed the thoughts away as she remembered the feeling of Tom walking away after he’d taken his pleasure.

  He gave you pleasure as well.

  Her thoughts were always her downfall.

  Once she was finished in the shower, she turned off the heat and went back into the bedroom. Using one of Roy’s old shirts, she placed it over her head and sat on the edge of the bed.

  Tomorrow night, after the claiming finished, she would be with a new man.

  This is Roy’s last night.

  Running a hand down her face, she got to her feet before she cowardly went to bed. She made her way downstairs. Roy’s grunts met her ears, and she took her time to get to him. From the position near the sitting room door, she saw he was naked and he had his large erection in his hand. In the low light she saw the top glistened with his pre-cum. His eyes were closed, and she gasped at the desperation on his face.

  The sound of her gasp forced him to open his eyes. The moment he saw her, he stopped touching himself.

  She shook her head. “No, don’t stop. Touch yourself. I want to watch.”

  Entering the room, she took a seat opposite him so she got a perfect view of him playing.

  “Fuck, Kitty, I’m sorry.”

 
; “Don’t be sorry. Please, let me see you do this.”

  Resting her hands on her knees, she felt an answering heat spill between the lips of her pussy. Licking her suddenly dry lips, she watched his hand, which was shaking, grip his shaft.

  He let out a groan. His fingers smeared the pre-cum around the tip then down the sides. Roy groaned, and the noise sent another wave of heat through her.

  Her nipples tightened against the fabric of the shirt.

  “What made you touch yourself?” she asked, intrigued.

  “You. Your kiss. The scent of you fills the cabin, and you make me ache.”

  Standing up, she removed the shirt she wore. Naked, she gave him a turn feeling sexy as he gazed at her hungrily. “Does this help?”

  “More than you fucking know.” He gripped the base of his cock and moved up to the tip then back down again. She watched him fuck his fist while his gaze ate her up. Feeling empowered she sat down on the edge of the sofa, splaying her thighs wide for him to see her sex. “Fuck me.”

  Smiling, she watched his movements. The way he gripped the length of his shaft and the cum spilling from the tip. Everything about him was intoxicating.

  “Touch yourself, Kitty. Let me see you spill that sweet juice over your fingers.”

  Caressing her fingers up the inside of her thigh, she cupped her mound and slid a finger through her slit. She was soaking wet to the touch. No wonder she was so wet. Roy, masturbating, was a beautiful sight. He made her want, and she wasn’t leaving until she saw him spill his cum all over his stomach.

  He leaned back as she glided a finger over her clit.

  “When all of this is over I’m going to spend weeks loving your pussy and showing you how much I fucking hated this. I love you, Kitty. No other woman would ever satisfy this need I’ve got for you. I can’t wait to have you as my mate.”

  She whimpered and pressed two fingers inside her body, caressing her clit with her thumb.

  “Fuck, I’m not going to last. Watching you is a fucking dream.”

  Keeping her eyes on him, she saw his movements speed up. A musky scent filled the room, and she moaned at the smell.

  “Fuck, baby, come. Let me see you lose yourself in pleasure.”

  Kitty watched him as her orgasm crashed through her, sending her over the edge into a beautiful kind of bliss. All through it, she watched him stroke his cock.

  When she was done, she kept her fingers inside her watching as he growled. The tip spurted out white strands of his cum, which coated his stomach.

  Collapsing against the sofa, she saw him get to his knees and start to crawl toward her.

  “Give me your fingers,” he said.

  Pulling her fingers out of her cunt, she presented them to his lips.

  Roy sucked them inside, moaning as he licked her cream from each digit. “You taste fucking amazing.”

  He used his shirt to wipe the semen from his stomach. Smiling, she leaned her head back.

  “It’s time for bed, baby.”

  She took hold of his hand and tugged him to his feet. “Come with me to bed. I don’t want to go without you.”

  Staring into his eyes, she saw he was torn over what to do. Go with her or stay behind and risk hurting her.

  “After what we just shared I want to feel your arms around me for one last night.” Kissing his lips, she smiled. “I just want you to hold me. Can you do that, Roy?” she asked.

  “I could hold you all night long.”

  Settling down into bed, she felt complete having Roy’s arms around her. For a few short hours she could forget what would happen tomorrow night.

  Chapter Five

  The moon was high in the sky. Roy stared up at the glowing sun, wishing there was some way to make tonight more bearable for his woman. Kitty was his woman. When the time came, he was going to make up for what he was going to do on this very night. His brothers were close by to offer him support. Their presence grew closer with every passing second. The light in the bedroom of the cabin glowed, letting him know Kitty was getting ready for the claiming.

  “There has to be another way to do this?” Roy asked minutes later as Tom appeared from behind one of the trees.

  “They are the rules, Roy. Do you think it doesn’t cut me up and hurt me to know she’s hurting? It pains me to see her or to even feel her like this.” Tom pressed a hand to his heart. “When tonight is over, you’ll feel her, too. You’ll know what it’s like to feel her pain, and you can’t do anything to stop it. This is the cruelty, the harshness I told you about. There is no stopping what is about to happen.”

  Growling, Roy turned away to see Guy stepping closer. “You’re taking her next?”

  “Yes. I’m taking her next. Then Stuart will take her, followed by the twins. They are bound by one moon to make this claiming right. When they’re finished, Tom will bind us all to her, and the claiming will be finished,” Guy said.

  “When it is all done, we will live in peace, begging for Kitty’s forgiveness,” Roy said.

  The wolf inside him was begging to get out. He wanted to run, but first he wanted to claim what was rightfully his.

  “You will all be there tonight?” he asked.

  “Yes, you know we have to be there for the claiming. You will fuck her, bite her, and then like me, you’ll walk away leaving Kitty to Guy,” Tom said.

  Turning around he looked at Guy, who was looking at the ground.

  “You better treat her with the utmost care and attention. I will not have her scared or in pain.” Roy was shaking as a sickness swamped him.

  “She’s my mate, too. Do you think I don’t feel responsible for her pain? It took you over two weeks to get close to her. How long do you think it will take me?” Guy asked.

  “Look, this is difficult for all of us,” Stuart said, stepping up close. Joey and Mark followed suit.

  “Difficult. How can you even get your head out of a book long enough to know what is difficult and what is not?” Roy shouted the words, storming toward his brother.

  “Enough!” Tom, the wolf, bellowed the words out, and Roy had no choice but to stop. “This claiming is vital to all of us. Our wolves are growing closer. To stay this way all of us have to play our part. None of us like this, but it’s who we are.”

  Glancing around at his brothers, Roy watched as all of them stepped back, listening to their alpha. They would all soon share a mate. This was not the time or place to argue about what they wanted to do.

  “I’m sorry,” Roy said, looking at each of them in turn. “None of us knew how this would feel.” He turned to Guy. “She’s going to be distraught. Don’t give her chance to hate us. Embrace her, love her, and you’ll see what a treasure she is.”

  The sound of the cabin door opening filled his senses. An explosion of smell met his nose. She was near, and she was ready to become his mate. Pride filled him at her coming out. He expected to wait half the night before she came to him.

  “I’ll see you soon,” Roy said, looking at Tom.

  They all nodded, and he left them alone in the forest.

  Making his way to where Kitty waited, Roy emerged to see her standing, waiting for him, naked. Her full figure was a sight to behold. Full tits, flared hips, and a nice rounded stomach were what he craved to keep him comforted at night.

  “Hey,” she said, tucking some of her hair behind her ear.

  Roy didn’t stop walking until he had Kitty in his arms. Sinking his head against her skin, he inhaled her scent. Home, she smelled like home to him.

  “I love you, Kitty.”

  She didn’t say anything to him. Her arms held him tighter, and he was sure he detected a sob coming from her lips.

  Pulling away, he stared down into her eyes.

  “What’s the matter, baby?” he asked.

  “Make love to me, Roy. Take me as your mate.”

  Caressing her cheek, he claimed her lips once again, taking his time. She worked on his jeans, pushing them down his thighs until he stood be
fore her naked.

  Sinking his fingers into her hair, he growled when she circled his shaft with her fingers. Her touch alone threatened to set him on fire. He was already close to orgasm just from the sight of her alone.

  Running his hands up and down her body, he gripped her hair to tilt her head back, exposing her neck.

  His cock hardened even more, the tip leaking out his fluid into her waiting hand. Breaking away from her touch, he took her hand and pulled her down onto the earth beside him. The smell of the grass along with her arousal was a heady thing.

  Roy took his time, caressing every inch of her flesh, drawing her to new, dizzying heights.

  “Roy?”

  “Don’t worry about a thing, baby. I’m going to take care of you.”

  Sliding his fingers through her slit, he felt her heat coating his hand. He stroked her clit watching the pleasure fill her eyes. She opened her legs wide for him to play with her body.

  “That’s it, baby. Give me everything.

  Roy felt the need to claim her rise up. His brothers were close, and the claiming need inside them rose. He felt all of them and their need to claim Kitty.

  Teasing her clit, he waited until he hurtled her into a mind-shattering orgasm before he settled between her thighs.

  ****

  Roy’s brothers were not hidden from Kitty’s view. The bite on her neck heated, and she became aware of all brothers around her, even Tom. He was in the forest watching as Roy took her body. The orgasm shattered her mind, opening up her senses for her to feel all of the brothers.

  Staring at Roy she felt him move between her thighs. The tip of his cock rubbing through her slit, coating his shaft with her cream.

  “I love you, Kitty.”

  She believed him. In their month he’d proven to her more than once that he was in love with her. Smiling, she reached up to touch his cheek.

  “I love you, too.” Kitty spoke the words she’d kept away from him for so long.

  He plundered her pussy going to the hilt inside her.
