Chapter 17: Right place, right time

Jelena:

The shower’s cabin is surprisingly sturdy. It looks like a shower you’d find at a gym. It’s wooden on the outside, but inside there are dark tiles and a wall with three large showerheads. To my right, there is an area with wooden storage counters. And beneath the shower faucets, there are waist-high wooden benches attached to the wall. Resting my towel and bags on the counter, I strip off my sweaty clothes and turn on a nearby shower. To my surprise, the water is warm. Closing my eyes, I lean my hands on the wall and throw my head back, letting the water run through my body. It feels so good.

Suddenly, two arms wrap around my naked waist and pull me against a solid male chest. Startled, I turn my head in surprise. “Traeger, you found me.” Giving me a smoldering smile, Traeger buries his face in my neck and inhales deeply. It’s so sweet and sexy. I’ve never had a guy hold me with so much reverence. He makes me feel like the most precious thing he’s ever had. Sighing with pleasure, I place my arm around his neck and close my eyes. He’s safe.

After a moment, I turn in his arms and place my hands on his chest. Did I mention that he’s naked too? And boy, is he glorious. Water pelts down his sculpted golden chest, to his six-pack abs and the triangle that leads to his heavy aroused shaft. He’s the epitome of male beauty and strength. Pulling my wet hair back, I move closer and scrape my nipples against his chest. Traeger groans in arousal against my lips as his hands travel down to my butt, pulling me closer. Savoring the kiss, I move my lips down to his neck and chest and whisper. “What happened earlier?” Traeger’s gaze becomes distant as he leans back and takes a seat on the bench beneath the showerhead. “Something bad is going down in the Institute. They’ve been asking questions about me. One of the doctors wanted to run some tests on me. They had all kinds of devices that I’ve never seen before. I think they were going to do something more than a standard test. Thankfully, one of the others became violent, and they let me go before they could do anything.”

Traeger’s smile is helpless as he sets me down on his lap and wraps his arms around me. Feeling the touch of his toned thighs against mine. I become more aroused. However, I manage to control my craving long enough to listen to what he has to say.

“We snuck back in after one of the doctors let me go and found out some really important things.” He mutters distractedly. “The Institute is planning on taking over some big-time Supernatural ruling system, and they plan on using us to do it, whether we like it or not.” I move back, horrified by what he is saying. “What are you going to do?” He shrugs his shoulders. “We have to somehow get in contact with this council, but I can't do it from inside of the building. They’d know.” I think for a moment. An idea forms in my mind. “You said you need to contact the council? I have a cell phone. I mean, the service sucks here, but you can use it.” His eyes widen, and he rises up, nearly toppling me over. “Where is it?” I point to my bag in the corner. “I carry it with me, even if it doesn’t work out here.”

Walking to my bag, reach inside and remove it. Traeger takes it and makes a call. After a few moments, his face becomes less grim. “It works; I just need to find where this council is and contact someone from there.” As he works on the phone, I can’t help letting my eyes scan his incredible body. He is still naked and aroused. It’s incredible how he seems so focused, but his body betrays his need. And cute how he mutters to himself as he pushes button after button. His beautiful eyes go wide after a second. “I think I found it.”

Brow furrowed, I lean close to see what he is seeing. The site seems inconspicuous; it has kind of an FBI vibe with a seal marking their status. The seal has white wings in a circle, and two glowing blue swords crossed behind it. However, there is nothing else. Seeing my consternation, Traeger smiles in response. “I saw this seal in the Institute files. I’m sure this is it.” Sighing in relief, I gaze back at the website. “There’s no number, though. How are you going to contact them?” Traeger smirks knowingly. “You let me handle that.”

He goes back to playing with the cell phone’s buttons then places it against his ear. He found a contact. After a moment, he answers whoever is at the other end. The person must be pretty pissed because Traeger responds apologetically, “I’m sorry for breaking into your system, but I really need to speak to whoever is in charge there. This is a matter of life and death.” Whoever is answering him must think it’s a prank because he becomes belligerent. Traeger hardens his voice. “Listen, my name is Traeger. I am a Lycan alpha located in the hills of Montana. I am part of what they call the Lycan Research Institute. Earlier today, I stumbled upon the Institute’s plan to attack the Council...” He moves the phone back and presses a few buttons, then returns it to his ear. “I just sent you some of the data that I was able to gain from the Institute. There are over a hundred Lycans in the Institute. We have all been implanted with receptors that can control our mental and motor functions. All of the Lycans here have also been training in warfare since birth…” He listens to whatever the voice is saying in the other end for a moment. “…No, this is not a threat. I just want you to establish how critical the situation is. I’m trying to prevent the destruction of my people and yours. We do not want to hurt anyone, but the center has control of my people. Please, help us.”

He pauses again, nodding his head enthusiastically. “Yes, of course… When? Mathias? Yes, this would be a good number. Of course. Tomorrow then... Goodbye.” He hangs up the phone and leans against the wall with a sigh of relief. I bite my lip at his distracted gaze. He seems almost lost, staring at the now blank screen. “The head of the council is coming tomorrow. Hopefully, they believed us. They asked me to meet with them. They said they’d call me with details… Is it okay if I keep your phone?” I nod my head. “Yeah, take it. The charger is in my bag too.”

He places the phone back in my bag and pulls me close to him. “You are incredible, Jelena. You have saved my people. I love you.” I smile, pulling him closer and kissing him on the lips. Between nibbles, I whisper. “I love you too.” As if a weight has been lifted, the kiss becomes even more passionate. We’re back to where we were when he snuck into my shower. Lifting me into his arms, Traeger pushes me into the shower and submerges both of us. Clinging to his shoulders, I suck his tongue into my mouth and nip at his bottom lip.

Opening my legs, I sit back on the tall bench and pull him close. His hard cock rubs enticingly across my wet petals. All I can think is, thank goodness I’m on the pill. Groaning against my lips, Traeger rubs his cock up and down my pussy lips and teases my needy center. Kissing and biting his neck, I claw my hands down his chest and waist until I finally reach his hard cock. I tighten my fist around his cock, stroking it up and down and swirl my thumb over the mushroom head, enjoying the velvety texture of his skin. Traeger growls loudly when I pull him close inside the tight wet heat of my center. My sheath contracts around his shaft and stars dance behind my closed lids as pleasure like I’ve never known bursts through every nerve of my body. Gritting his teeth, Traeger throws his head back and releases a loud moan. Gasping with ecstasy, I kiss his neck and chest, savoring the salty taste of his tight skin. Biting my lip, I look down at my waist and groan at the sight of our connected bodies. My sheathe is stretched tightly around his shaft to a near obscene level, but I can’t help how good it feels. My eyes roll to the back of my head with each shallow plunge of his hips.

Traeger doesn’t move much at first, so I guide his movements. He’s a quick learner. My hips rise and fall as his body begins to pump in and out of mine so deliciously. Heat travels up and down my body with every penetrating plunge into my womb. He pinches my nipples, causing currents of pleasure course through me. Our lips meet again as I course my nails down his back and slam harder on his hips. Face tight, Traeger holds my legs open and quickens his pace. His mouth leaves mine for a moment and whispers. “You feel so good…so tight.”

Biting my lip, I and rub my clit. My arousal heightens as I near my climax. Throwing my head back, I cry out. “Oh, God! Traeger. Don’t stop!” Traeger licks my nipples and begins pounding harder. Our breathing is ragged. I can feel the rush of ecstasy working its way up my body until everything inside me shatters. A kaleidoscope of fireworks burst through my body. Clinging tightly to Traeger’s shoulder, I bite the skin of his neck and cry out. After a moment, Traeger’s eyes begin to glow; his fangs explode from his mouth and shudders quake through his body. An ecstatic growl escapes his lips before he bites down on my shoulder. The feeling is so unexpected that it makes me shudder in another blissful orgasm.

Once our bodies expel the last of our release, Traeger pulls away. Feeling good, I stand up on shaky legs. “Wow, that was…” He raises an arrogant brow. “It was… incredible.” Smiling at his accurate assessment, we kiss again. It’s a tender moment of spent passion. It is perfect. Traeger nips my lips before he whispers gently. “I need to go, but I don’t want to.” I nod my head understanding his feelings. “I know. I don’t want you to go either.” His eyes land on my shoulder, finally noticing the bite marks and slides his fingers gently across it. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

I shake my head at his guilty words. “No, don’t be sorry. It was perfect. I loved it.” Traeger kisses my forehead with a reverent smile. “In the files, the scientists talked about mating. Wolves mate for life. I think…I think you’re my mate.” I smile shyly at his words, but I don’t disagree. Something inside of me knows that it’s true. “I think I’m your mate too. I have never felt about anyone the way I feel about you.”

We stare into each other’s eyes for a while until we are interrupted by a knock on the door. “Jelena, honey, you’ve been in there for a while. Is everything okay?” My eyes widen at the sound of my mom’s voice. Rushing to the door, I slam my hand against it and make sure it’s locked. Thankfully, it is. “I’m okay, mom. The water feels so soothing that I didn’t want to leave. But I’m getting dressed now. I’ll meet you at the camp in a few minutes.” My mom lets out an imperceptible sigh. “Okay, babe. See you at the camp.” Stepping back, I watch until the shadow of her feet fades away. That was close.

Holding a hand against my rapidly beating heart, I turn back to Traeger, who is drying off. Giving his bare chest one last swipe with the towel, he strides towards me and begins to dry me. It takes us long for us to dry because we can’t stop kissing. Traeger licks and sucks my nipples, which makes me instantly go hot again. A soft moan escapes my lips when he moves between my legs and rubs and pinches my clit. After a moment, I breathlessly pull away. “We can’t do this again, Traeger. My mom might come back, and you need to go.” Swallowing hard, Traeger takes a few deep breaths and nods his head. “I know. I just want you again. I don’t think I will ever not want you.”

Melting at his words, I smile and reach for my clothes. “We’ll find a way to be together. For now, go back to the Institute. I don’t want them to become even more suspicious of you than they already are. It really concerns me that they have been keeping such a close eye on you.” Looking disappointed, he nods his head and slips his clothes back on. Once we’re dressed, I give him the cell phone and the charger, which he hides in the pocket of his cargo pants. Giving him a final kiss and hug, I take a step back and exhale. Seeing my sadness, he leans close and whispers, “I love you,” before he walks away.
