Chapter 83

Ashlynn

I made a concerted effort to go to work, against Dawson's advice. I was okay for about two hours. I managed to get a few things done, supplies ordered for the clinic, a phone call to a verterinarian that I wanted to interview to start working part time here at the ranch, and a brief chat with my mom. When my ranch hands walked in and gave me a strange look and then immediately turned and ran out the door, I followed them outside. They yelled at Dawson as they raced across the corral to one of the pastures where we kept cattle. Dawson turned in the middle of the arena where he had been training a horse and looked back towards me. He shook his head, with a knowing grin on his face. He pulled the horse with him as he walked to the fence.

"Your scent. Everyone is going to be affected. You need to take the day off," he hollered. My face lit with embarrassment as I saw one of the ranch hands turn from a pile of hay he'd been stacking and look at me. He glanced back towards Dawson and then went back to work.

"Well thank goodness I'm mated then," I yelled back. I waved him off and returned to the clinic. As soon as I shut the door, I felt my skin heating up and a sheen of sweat broke out all over my body. "Shit," I murmured. I attempted to get back to work, but the way the seam of my jeans rubbed my clit through my underwear had me realing. I'd never felt so sensitive, everywhere, in my life. Okay, I told myself, be reasonable. With a shake of my head, I started locking up what I needed to and made my way back out the door. The cool air felt good on my skin as I walked out and over to the corral.

"Change your mind?" he asked as he walked over. I watched his face as his nostrils flared and his wolfs eyes pushed forward for a brief second. "Geez Ashlynn, You really need to get inside. I'm coming in as well, I will let Cody know that we are not available." He smiled as he approached and unlocked the gate to come stand in front of me. "I would take you right here if there weren't people around," he whispered. I felt my wolf push forward, tail wagging at his suggestion. Dirty little bitch, I told her. She cackled and showed me her rear end in my head with tail raised. Yep, she was naughty for sure.

"Okay, meet me upstairs," I told him. He reached his hand out and caressed my cheek. My eyes closed on their own and I leaned into his touch. A moan left my lips and my eyes snapped open. "Oh my God, I can't do this here, I'm gone." I turned and ran for the stairs and up to our apartment. I cold shower had my name on it right now and I wasn't going to waste time being teased by his touch.

I barely made it in the front door before I was peeling off my clothes. I kicked my boots off by the door while I quickly undid my belt. I pulled my shirt off over my head, tossing it to the side. By the time I was in my bathroom, I had left a trail of clothes all the way to my bedroom door. I stood in just my bra and panties. I flipped the shower on and finished undressing. I didn't wait for the water to get warm, I just stood under the ice cold water and let it sooth my heated skin. If this is what it feels like to be in heat, I don't think it's fair we have to go through this. Human woman did not have to endure this.

I heard the front door shut and the lock click, then moments later my mate stood before me. Dawson was naked and his cock stood up proud and ready for me. He stepped into the shower and shivered at the cold water, before turning it to luke warm. "Babe, I want you but that cold water could ruin me." His mouth was on mine and my hands were all over him in seconds. Without warning, I had jumped up and wrapped my legs around his waist. He stumbled a little but caught his balance. I rubbed myself up and down his shaft like a wanton woman. He obviously didn't complain, as he pushed my back against the wall and let me grind my wet pussy all over him. When he couldn't take it any longer, he positioned himself at my entrance and slammed inside me. I was so ready for him and I threw my head back, hitting the wall and moaned as my eyes rolled back in my head. I felt Dawson bite down on my mark and my orgasm hit me so fast that it caught me by surprise. I yelled out his name and clung to him like my life depended on it. He followed behind me only a minute after. After he caught his breath, he reached over and turned the water temperature warmer. We then showered off, carefully soaping each other up.

"You don't need to worry about work babe, Cody will tell the Alpha. You have the next five days off, and I'm going to take full advantage," Dawson said as he kissed up the column of my throat.

"Five days,"I all but murmured. "I have work to do though."

"No you don't. Your techs will handle everything and they said they would reschedule that interview you scheduled, for next week. You're mine and we aren't leaving here until your heat is over," he warned.

"Uh okay, if you're sure?"

"Definitely," Dawson said. "Now let's get out of this shower and feed you. You're going to need your strength." And he wasn't lying, because the next five days were spent having more sex than we'd had the entire time we'd been together combined. But I had never been more satisifed in my life.
