Miracle Wolf for Christmas Page 3

  She watched his powerful chest rise and fall with each breath he took. She loved all the animals, but she’d always had a soft spot for wolves. They’d been so vilified, so misunderstood, and they were one of the most gentle creatures on earth.

  He moved as if he was trying to get into a more comfortable position and then yawned. He opened one eye, almost as if he knew she was awake and observing him.

  “Morning Noel and Merry Christmas. Sorry I don’t have a gift for you, but maybe you’d like me to open the rest of my gifts right here so you can see what I got.”

  He stretched out while she got up and walked over to the tree. She switched on its lights and then turned on the radio. Christmas songs rang out. Ally took the gifts and went back over to Noel, who looked a touch grumpy this morning. Maybe his leg was acting up.

  “This one is from my parents,” she said. She ripped off the paper and saw that it was the backpack she’d asked for. Top of the line one that would house all her equipment when she went out tracking.

  She placed it by the enclosure and picked up another one.

  “From my brother and sister-in-law,” said Ally. She opened the lid on the box and pulled out a sweater and vest. “And this one is from the rest of the workers here at the Center.” Ally tore off the paper and saw that it was a box of her favorite chocolates. “Don’t know about you, but I’m starving. I’m going to make some bacon and eggs.” She actually saw the wolf lick his lips. “I know I shouldn’t, but it’s Christmas Day, so I’ll cook some bacon for you, too.”

  ****

  Kent almost wanted to act out that commercial where the dog got his Beggin’ Strips when she’d mentioned the word bacon. The smoky flavor drifted his way and his stomach rumbled. Maybe he’d be lucky and she’d throw some eggs on top of it. Toast would be a nice addition, too. Black coffee—icing on the cake.

  “Okay, Noel, here’s your Christmas breakfast.”

  She slid a plate of chopped bacon under the grille.

  He dived into it, almost burping because he’d never eaten so fast. She slid down next to him with her own plate of bacon, eggs, toast, and yes, a mug of black coffee.

  Damn but at least she’d turned off the music and hadn’t tried to sing today.

  “I brought a turkey dinner with me to cook. I don’t know if there’ll be enough for you, but I still have some of the sliced turkey. I did notice you didn’t like our standard wolf food.”

  Kent turned up his nose while glancing at the bowl. Canine junk.

  “We’re thinking of pairing with a venison supplier next year.”

  Venison…which reminded him of his cousin Nick, whose venison chili was to die for and, in a few hours, he was supposed to arrive at his house. Nick would probably be angry about him being late, try reaching him via his cell phone, ready to give him a dressing down, and hopefully use his wolf sense to know something was wrong and send out a search party.

  As soon as Ally was out of sight, Kent would try and shift and get out of here.

  “Guess I should go wash these plates and then I think I’ll begin filling in the information about you. I’ll take a nice photo of you, too. In a way, I’m glad I’m getting to spend Christmas with you.”

  She walked away out of sight. He glanced over at the broken mug and what she’d just said about spending Christmas with him.

  He couldn’t leave her alone quite yet. He’d spend most of the day with her and then he’d shift and split. Nick and Ava would understand that he was doing someone a good deed in this season of miracles.

  Chapter Four

  Ally had never known a wolf quite like Noel. He’d actually posed for the photo. She’d opened his enclosure door and he walked outside, sat there, and let her take five snaps of him.

  She smiled as she loaded them up to the site.

  Noel, male wolf, estimated age 5 years.

  Found near wooded area ten miles west of Glacier National Park entrance on December 24th, 2015.

  Looks like he is lone wolf, no other pack members in the area.

  Radio collar number 8734.

  Will release him back to the area where he was found once he has recovered from a leg injury.

  Will track him same time next month for further studies.

  She turned off the screen and decided to get her Christmas dinner ready. She’d get those turkey slices she’d promised Noel. Hopefully, he’d accept them as her way of saying sorry for running into him.

  ****

  Kent ventured out of the enclosure she’d opened for him. He had her trust now and she’d decided to let him wander around while she ate her turkey dinner. He’d downed the sliced turkey she’d offered him. He hoped by the time he made it to Nick’s place, there were still plenty of leftovers because he was starving. He put his nose into the air. Her dinner didn’t look all that appetizing, but it sure as hell smelled good. She finished the last of the mashed potatoes and pushed the plate away. Next she opened up the box of chocolates and popped one into her mouth.

  “I’d offer you one, but I know canines and cocoa do not mix. Well, at least not for dogs. I won’t risk seeing if you’re the same.” She took another chocolate and then stood. “I think I’m going to take a shower and then just relax for the rest of the day. Can I trust you not to get up to any trouble while I’m gone?”

  Oh you wouldn’t believe what I’m going to do once your back is turned.

  ****

  Ally guessed she’d spend the rest of the day catching up on some of her field notes and then do some studying. She had to begin work on the papers for her doctorate degree soon. She was set to graduate next year. Dr. Ally Herbert. She couldn’t believe that would soon be her title.

  She rinsed the shampoo out of her hair and then stepped out of the shower, dried herself off, and wrapped the toweling robe around her body. They should probably think about putting a TV in this place, but the whole idea of working here was to get research and papers written without interruption.

  Ally heard a noise coming from the area where they brought the animals in for initial examination. Sounded like something had been knocked over in there. The only animal that was on the loose was Noel, and there was no why he could have gotten in there. The door was shut, and unless he had grown human hands while she’d been showering, he couldn’t have opened it.

  Ally turned in that direction, hoping that no one had chosen to break into this place on Christmas Day. They had experienced the odd person thinking it morally wrong to tag and monitor wild animals, but apart from that, they were out in the middle of nowhere and passersby were far and few between. Her heartbeat picked up and her mouth went dry thinking about Andy and that fateful night. Had he heard the man breaking into the surgery, or had he been taken by total surprise? She looked around for something she could use as a weapon, but there was nothing. She guessed she’d take her chances.

  She pushed back the door and stopped in her tracks. A man, a naked man, stood there. His bare ass, his very nice bare ass, faced her. “Don’t move because I’ve already called the police,” she said.

  Had Andy spoken to his killer like this? Had he tried to reason with him or even begged for his life?

  He turned around and she immediately recognized those eyes. It was Noel. But it couldn’t be him because this was a man and he was a wolf. She shook her head as he moved toward her. The way he looked at her was also familiar, too.

  “Don’t be scared, okay?” He lifted his hands up to her. “I thought I’d be gone by the time you got out of the shower. I was just looking for some clothes and remembered seeing a pair of scrubs in here when you and that guy named Axel examined my leg.”

  No, it couldn’t be. She was asleep and dreaming. She glanced at his leg where she’d hit him with the car. It was black and blue and the radio collar hung around his neck.

  She opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out but a squeak. Not only was she in shock that a wolf had turned into a man, but his cock was the biggest and longest she’d ever seen
. She tried not to focus on it.

  “I can explain all this, but you can’t tell anyone,” he said, taking another step toward her, his cock slowly getting more erect the closer he got.

  Who would believe her if she did tell them? They’d say the stress of her loss had made her take to drink or go insane. They’d blame it on a nervous breakdown.

  Hell, maybe that’s what was happening here.

  He rested his hand on her shoulder. The touch and gesture was so familiar. The wolf had touched her that way when she’d been crying outside his enclosure.

  “I don’t understand. Am I asleep, am I going insane?”

  “Nope, neither.”

  “Prove it.”

  Before she knew it, his lips were on hers, his arms around her. It felt real. He felt real. His hand slipped inside her robe, the palm grazing against her nipples, making them feel sensitive and in need of something that she hadn’t realized she’d missed until now.

  He pulled away from her, looking at her with those beautiful wolf eyes.

  “Are you a werewolf?” she asked.

  He shook his head. “I don’t have to wait for a full moon to become a wolf. I can do it whenever I please.”

  “So you’re not going to bite me?”

  “No, definitely not going to bite you…well, unless you want me to.”

  She shook her head. “So what are you going to do to me?”

  Could he feel her shaking? Did he notice that for the last few seconds she hadn’t been able to take her eyes off his cock that was now rock hard and erect?

  She realized just how much she’d missed having sex. Having sex, not making love. Big difference and only her dead husband could do that. And Andy would totally understand her need to have sex and release the tension that ran deep in her body. She’d have no problem with him doing the wild thing with a woman if she’d been the one who’d been killed.

  “I’d like you to fuck me.”

  She’d shocked herself. She wasn’t known for her dirty mouth, but the need overtook everything.

  “With pleasure, and think of it as my Christmas gift to you.”

  Chapter Five

  Kent had intended to shift, grab those scrubs, take her car, and leave her a note telling where she could collect both items. He hadn’t expected her walking in on him like that. He’d thought that, at this very moment, he’d be halfway to Nick’s house and finally getting to eat something substantial. However, something better had come his way.

  She took off her robe and let it drop to the ground. He licked his lips. How could anyone not take a female up on an offer like this one? Okay, she was human, but this was the season of doing crazy things.

  The examination table was just a few feet behind her. A good spot to place her while he checked out her body and got her ready for the main act. He lifted her up by putting his arms under her butt. He placed her gently down on the stainless steel top, hoping it wasn’t too cold for her ass. It wouldn’t be for long because he’d be warm her up very soon.

  Kent ran both his hands over her thighs and knees. The dark curls at the top held his attention. Seeing that this was his first time having sex with a human, it seemed the natural thing to do. Shifter women, for some reason, were bare on their mounds. They also had clits inside their pussy walls. Ally’s would be visible to his eye.

  “Lie back and enjoy some fun,” he said, eager to see the spot in question. Well, he hoped he’d find it and not look stupid. He wasn’t the sort of guy who liked to ask for directions.

  She rested back on her elbows. Kent eased her knees apart. He took in her scent. She was highly aroused, which made him grow even harder than he already was. He fingered her curls before letting his fingers slid into her folds. She was wet and hot. He felt what he knew to be her clit and began massaging it. She sat up, making her breasts stick out like beacons to him. The more he touched her, the more erect her nipples grew.

  “Ummm, I like that,” she said, putting her arms around his neck.

  He hadn’t been able to get the damn radio collar off—not even shifting had budged it—but that wouldn’t stop him from taking her over the edge. He tickled her clit, hearing her draw in her breath. He held his cock, letting the tip of it mate with her clit.

  “Oh, God, yes,”

  She laid back and pounded the table, pulling up one leg that opened up her pussy lips. Her arousal dripped from her like an ice cream slowly melting on a summer day.

  Kent pushed his finger inside her. Her muscles were tight and strong, the way he liked his pussy. He’d love to play with her some more, but his need to be inside her was stronger.

  “I’m dreaming,” she whispered.

  He smiled, lifting his cock higher, and introduced the tip of his shaft to her entrance. Kent gave one nudge of his hips and slipped inside her. She sat up some more, allowing him to wrap his arms around her shoulders, her arms sliding around his waist as she moved to the edge of the table and he began pounding inside her.

  Umm, he liked this. Maybe that’s what the other shifters had discovered. Human pussy was so fucking hot.

  She kissed him, biting his lip until she drew a little blood. The metallic taste didn’t put him off. Instead, he rode her harder, faster, and let his tongue slide into her mouth. They released one another’s lips from the lock they’d been in and looked into each other’s eyes.

  Kent was glad she’d knocked him over and brought him here. Maybe now he’d believe in Christmas miracles.

  Chapter Six

  Ally had never done this with a stranger ever before. She’d always a person who erred on the safe side of life. But she’d learned during this last year that life was short, too brief for some people, so you had to take opportunity when it presented itself.

  Here she was, legs spread and wrapped around a guy that less than an hour ago had been a wolf. She didn’t know how he’d turned himself into a man, but right now, she didn’t care. Bottom line was he brought her pleasure as he thrust harder, working his cock at different angles and getting pretty close to her G-spot.

  She angled her butt until his cock scraped every inch of her pussy. Condoms—he wasn’t wearing one, another foolish thing she should have insisted on. Not that she could get pregnant. The doctor had told her the last pregnancy had been a miracle and there would be no more. Hopefully, he was clean and didn’t play the field. Yeah right, with looks and a body like his, that wasn’t likely.

  He stopped moving, but she hadn’t felt him come. His cock was moving instead. Ally gasped. What was he doing? How was he doing that? Didn’t matter because she was about to come, and come big time.

  She screamed out, sending the other wolves howling throughout the building. Would they be turning into men, too? His dick vibrated against her pussy walls, making her come again. She bit her lip and curled her toes. She’d never had orgasms like this before, which made her think she really was dreaming.

  Any second, she’d wake up and find herself in her bed with that vibrator she’d bought last month but hadn’t had the courage to use it yet because that would make it official that she was without a man.

  She wrapped her legs tighter around him. He kissed her as she came again and then again.

  He held her tight with her resting her head on his shoulder as he began thrusting again. He smelled musky, almost like the wolf he was, but also with the scent of a man. How strange did that sound? His breathing got heavy, she could hear him panting, and then, he called out and found his release.

  “I want to fuck you again,” he said.

  She thought he meant later, but when he lifted her and turned her over, her feet barely touching the floor and her thighs spread wide with her butt in the air, she knew he intended to do it right there.

  He was rock hard as he slid his cock into her pussy again. How could he be so aroused so soon after the last time? It had taken Andy a long time to get another erection after he’d come.

  Noel held her hips and they bounced together, her breasts scrappi
ng the table. She dragged her fingers down the stainless steel, marking it and causing it to produce squeaky noises as she climaxed again.

  Noel slapped her hips, gave a wolf howl, and then came again. He thrust his hips a couple of times and then pulled out of her. She turned around and he kissed her.

  “How was that?” he asked.

  “It was damn near perfect.”

  “I have to be at my cousin’s house for a meal. I’m already late, so could I borrow some clothes and your car? I’ll leave it close to where you picked me up. Mine’s about half a mile away.”

  Her mouth was open.

  “I know you’re probably wondering how I’m both a man and a wolf. It’s a long story and I’ll tell you next time we meet. Oh, and I don’t like the name Noel, so if you could call me by my real name, Kent, I’d appreciate. Kent Huxley to be precise.”

  Kent did suit him.

  “You want to see me again?” he asked

  Her heartbeat picked up a notch or two. “I…I do.”

  “Well, if you can take this radio collar off, I promise to keep it with me, and shall we say next week, look for the signal close to where you found me and I’ll be waiting for you.”

  ****

  Kent had never been so glad to see his car. He parked Ally’s behind it. He scraped the snow and ice off his own and then got in. He turned on the ignition and cranked the heat up high. He reached over for his cell phone.

  Damn, the cold had made the batteries die. He couldn’t let Nick know he was on his way, so he’d drive extra fast. Would he tell his cousin about Ally? He’d definitely share the story of being run over and taken to the research center. But should he keep the fact that he’d had sex with her—twice, no less—a secret? Should he still pretend he thought Nick had gone rogue for marrying outside the shifter group?
