Chapter 53

The line went completely across the trail and probably if anyone else came through here they would have triggered it without seeing it at all. Cassidy didn't move from where she was put to the ground, watching as James stepped over the line and went to investigating. ► There is no scent ◄ he linked to her mind before he shifted himself back into his human form.

James inspected the line, following it to where it was set up to a hidden small trail camera type contraption with an alarm set to it. “The men must have set this up. This is our gear. Ill admit I haven't been paying attention much lately to what they have been doing but we have talked about setting up these around the territory for awhile.” He said without messing with the trap and standing, motioning for her to come forward. “Come on, just step over it.”

Cassidy had seen Jett set up trip wire traps like this before. Snares and the such for food when they were not in the city. Trip wire alarms for security. She could not blame anyone in the pack for setting up random alarms especially with the rogue problem. When James gave her the all clear to come forward, she did so and stepped over the wire to happily go to James, her body wiggling as he crouched down to stroke his hands through her fur.

“You are very beautiful. This form and your human. I might not say it, but just know I think it.” James admitted to her and chuckled when the white wolf bathed his neck and face in excited licks. “Alright.. Lets go.” He said before letting go of Cassidy and allowing himself to fall back into his mind so the wolf could take over again. Once he had shifted back into his wolf, he and Cassidy took a more leisurely pace to their destination.

The pair of wolves didn't speak often through their bonded link, relying more on body language than anything to express their thoughts and emotions. They walked side by side, brushing against each other often just to feel their mates body and once they finally reached the headwaters of the river where the spring and waterfall fed it, both shifted back quickly. Cassidy was the first to jump into the deep water, diving and swimming down until her lungs began to burn and she came up for air, breaking the surface of the water and looking towards the shore.

James was no where in sight. Cassidy brushed the wet hair from her face while she treaded the water, her brows coming together in worry. “James?!” she called out. When there was no answer,she went to swim back towards the shore only to be stopped by strong hands gripping her middle as James came up from behind her and surfaced as well.

Cassidy shrieked from surprise and spun around in James grip to shove him and his grinning face away from her. “Dont do that!” she laughed and turned back towards the shore. James chuckled, but let her go. He watched her until she was finally able to touch the smooth river stones below them before he followed.

The falls, in Cassidy’s opinion, was almost a magical place for her. They reminded her so much of moments when she was a pup and her family would go to rivers with swimming holes and spend an entire day swimming and playing, picnicking and enjoying life itself. They were all good memories she kept close to her heart and now with James in her life, she wanted to create more of the same with him.

Cassidy was barely touching with her tip toes when James came up from behind her again, this time wrapping his arms around her waist to help hold her up in the water. She rested her arms over his and leaned her head back against his shoulder. “Ive got you.” He whispered in a hushed voice. His words brought a smile to Cassidy and she closed her eyes as James swayed with her in the water. The smile widened when James began to kiss her neck above the water line.

“Haven't you had enough, Alpha Black?” she teased him, gasping when he gave her jaw a playful nip.

“Not really.” He murmured and continued to tease her neck.

“Mhmm…” Cassidy hummed, feeling one of his hands traveling south over her belly under the water. She took in a breath and held it when the Alpha dipped his middle finger between the crease of her folds to rest right over her clit.

“Have you had enough, Luna Black?” he whispered against her ear and began a slow, steady circle of his finger around the sensitive flesh between her thighs.

“I…” she started and then let out a soft moan, losing the train of thought she had and relaxing back against him completely. Being in heat was one thing but this was on another entire level. The heat made them mindless. There was nothing else but the need to fuck. Fucking stopped the pain for her and the pleasure helped them both through it. The only thing that had ran through her head through her heat had been her wolf begging for more which her mate gladly gave until the very end. It wasn't personal. It was just instinct. This was… personal. More so than the last three weeks before her heat.

James was pleasantly surprised when Cassidy relaxed back against him. Her submission had him going from half hard to straining against the back of her thighs within seconds. While keeping his other arm still around her to hold her up, he moved his hand to cup her breast, massaging the flesh for a few seconds before his fingers found her nipple. James let out a rumble of a pleased growl and grasped the flesh between his thumb and fingers, giving slow firm tugs that matched the speed of the circles he was applying around her clit. “I don't think I will ever really get enough.” He whispered.

Cassidy didn't think she would either if she was being honest with herself. The alpha of BlackStone was addictive and she craved the touch of his hands and his scent. Even just being close to him, feeling his presence was a need to her now. But that was a true mate bond in action between them. They would never be able to go long without the presence of the other.

She relaxed back against him, well aware of the erection he was sporting but she was going to enjoy what he was doing for her first. She reached up with one arm, letting her fingers cup the back of his neck and head, leaning her own head to the side and giving him access to her neck and shoulder while he worked her below.

James was not sure if Cassidy even realized how much she affected him. Before the heat, there was no way her wolf would have allowed this. No way she would act submissive in any way towards him at all. So when she gave him the ultimate sign of a wolfs submission just now in this vulnerable way, baring her neck and mark to him, he stopped moving for a full three seconds. His wolf was wanting to come forward but James resisted, promising the beast he would get his chance soon but right now Cassidy needed some pampering and his full attention.

He lowered his head and his teeth scraped across the scar that he gave her, right across the sensitive curve of her shoulder and his she-wolf wiggled in his arms in response with a needy whimper of a sound and whispering his name in a breathless voice. James needed no guidance on what his mate needed and he was quick to give it to her. He slipped his index and ring fingers between her lips as well and began to stroke over her clit back and forth a few times until her hips were rocking, her thighs spreading for him. He obliged and reached farther, pressing against her entrance and dipping his three fingers deep.

Cassidy’s nails dug into James skin on his arm and the back of his neck when he made his entrance with his fingers. “James…” she moaned his name and began to move her body, rocking against his hand as he began to pump his digits in and out of her slow at first. As Cassidy became more and more aroused, she squirmed in his arms, breathing hard as her body began to tighten, her clit and core pulsing and gripping James eagerly. “Fuck… James…” she growled and clenched her thighs together to try and stop him from moving, twisting at the same time to try to turn and face him. “Fuck me” she all but begged.

James didn't need any more of an invitation. He pulled his hand from between her thighs and loosened his arm around her middle so she could turn to face him. His mouth met hers with a growl when she did. Cassidy was already lifting her legs around his waist, grinding herself against his shaft until he reached between them and guided himself to her entrance. James hissed, breaking the hungry kiss as he thrust upwards and pulled her down onto him at the same time. He stretched and filled her so quickly Cassidy sat up right with a moan, her head tilted back towards the sky as James began to give her just what she asked for, holding her by her hips and slamming himself into her deeply.

Cassidy gripped James shoulders and just held of for the ride of her life. Her breasts bouncing at the surface of the water as her mate forcefully thrust up into her over and over. She was so close, her core throbbing as her muscles began to tighten again. She lifted her head to look at James but the glint of light reflecting off of metal high above caught her eye.

She looked to the top of the waterfall and she froze, watching as if in slow motion as a gun was raised, only to get a breath in to warn James before the trigger was pulled.
