Aislinn felt him slide his erection against her butt and then he pressed her forward into the stream of water. His hand slid down her back and between her legs. Aislinn braced herself against the wall and water pounded on her back. Between the heat of the shower and the heat that Cullen was creating she felt like she was on fire.
Cullen slid his fingers into her slit and felt her coat them. He growled his pleasure at that. She was always ready for him. He pulled his hand from her and listened to her whimper, wanting his fingers back. He chuckled and brought his fingers to his mouth. Suddenly his wolf roared into his mind and seized control of the situation.
Aislinn felt the rush and was more than a little shocked when she felt him grab her roughly and force her out of the shower. Before she knew what was happening she was on her hands and knees on the bathroom floor and he was fucking her hard from behind. She tried to get away at first. But he was far too strong and determined. It took some time for the forceful thrusts to become pleasurable. Aislinn gave over to her cat, knowing that she’d be more capable of handling it that way.
As the cat took control the confusion gave way to primal need. Aislinn began growling and pushing back into his thrusts. Cullen wasn’t concerned in the least with her pleasure this time. He was going to come inside her and then he was going to do it again. He swelled inside her and forced himself as deep as he could into her sopping cunt. He came hard and Aislinn shook with her own orgasm as she felt his seed fill her. She growled happily as they collapsed to the floor.
After some time and some internal struggle Cullen was able to force his wolf down. Aislinn had already returned to her human self. She could feel the sore already starting. She stretched a bit. He was lodged inside her more solidly than usual. She rubbed her butt against him. They were still wet from the shower and sweat. “I’m going to need another shower,” she said with an amused tone.
Cullen wasn’t amused though. “I didn’t hurt you did I,” he asked.
She looked back over her shoulder. “My knees a little,” she chuckled. “But I’ll get over it. What’s wrong?”
Cullen cleared his throat. “You’re going into heat,” he said flatly. “By morning I’m not going to be able to stop.”
She could feel how serious he was. “How long will that last?”
“Couple days, a week? Hard to say.
“You’re worried.”
“Yeah. I’ve got meetings scheduled. This isn’t going to look good. But judging from how I reacted to the preliminary, there isn’t going to be any fighting it once you really start. We’re not going to be able to go out into public.”
Aislinn giggled and cuddled against him. She felt his annoyance at her amusement. “I’m sorry. I kinda like the idea that you want me so bad you really can’t keep your hands off me.”
Cullen smiled smugly. “You do realize that I’m trying to get you pregnant right?”
That stopped the giggling. “Okay, so you want to have kids,” she realized suddenly.
“Now,” he said harshly. He could feel his wolf growling to take her again.
“On the bed,” Aislinn said, knowing there was no stopping him. But unsure how she felt about being pregnant. “And the shower needs turned off.”

Terrick was in his room grousing. He’d been doing his best to sow seeds of doubt in everyone’s minds about Cullen but the new omegas were in love with Aislinn. Every time he said anything against the missing couple someone else would come along and suggest that the problem was Terrick’s interpretation. He was getting frustrated with the fact that he seemed to have miss played the best chance he’d been giving for ousting Cullen in centuries. He was trying to come up with a way to make the fool look bad.
No one even seemed to care that he had probably already mated with Aislinn and was lying about it. Ranaild, Elise, Celia, and Mack were the ones who were pointing out to people that they were expecting more of Cullen than themselves. At least a third of the pack had ‘accidentally’ skipped the dumb ceremony. If Cullen fell short on that one well maybe he had earned a reprieve from their expectations. That mixed with the omegas spouting how wonderful Aislinn was and how dead half of them would be if she hadn’t talked Cullen down had the pack pretty much over the whole situation.
Terrick only had a select few people on his side. Luckily the few he had were elders and they agreed that he shouldn’t be skipping protocol. More was expected of the alpha for a reason. And they certainly didn’t like being lied to. Terrick’s support was less, but he still had some.
When his phone rang he answered it angrily, “What?”
“Hmm, something certainly does have you in a foul mood,” came the honey sweet voice of Jenna Tairneach.
“What do you want, Jenna?”
“The same thing I wanted last time, Terrick. I’m just trying to find out if you’re still stubbornly holding out against me,” she cooed.
“Remind me what you think our mating will accomplish?”
“Well, you’d at very least get to be alpha with the Tairneach. And once you have a pack maybe then you can get what you truly want.”
“Jenna if I mate with you I’ll never get what I truly want. And although I may despise Cullen Arnauk my loyalty to this pack is true. I want Cullen gone and the Arnauk hailing me as alpha. Your way won’t do that. I’ll not risk any of our own lives. There isn’t a single lycan here who would trust and follow me with real loyalty if I left the pack only to start a war so that I could take it over. If I can’t beat Cullen in a one on one fight it’s pointless. But we’ve already had this discussion. So why the hell are you really calling?”
Jenna was annoyed. Even the Arnauk who wanted to get rid of Cullen were difficult to get to. She may have to have the druids teach her how Rafe played the mind games he did. “How about just making him look bad for now. Would you be interested in helping me with that?”
“I’m listening,” Terrick said, his tone less annoyed.
“The Pack Council is sending a message to him. There’s going to be a meeting. Just intercept the message,” she cooed. “The council will get made and he’ll look like a fool.”
Terrick thought about it. Making Cullen look the part of the fool was always a good idea to him. But there was one thing bothering him. “What’s in it for you Jenna?”
She growled to herself. Terrick was an thoin but he wasn’t stupid. “Time,” she said. “Just time.”
“For what?”
“That’s not your concern. Do it or not. I don’t care. I was just trying to be helpful.” With that she hung up on Terrick.

Keith and Sarah were pissed. They’d been running interference all week. “How much longer do you think she’s going to be in heat?” he said angrily as he slammed into Sarah’s office and sat down in the chair across from her desk.
Sarah shrugged and shook her head. “Terrick knows what’s going on. And most of the others are suspicious. That’s making Terrick’s stupidity easier for them to stomach. I’m tired of lying to everyone.”
Keith nodded in agreement. “He better name all the boys after me and all the girls after you,” he said only half joking.
“Speaking of names, do you and Jay know what you’re naming yours yet?” Sarah asked.
“No. I leave it to Jay. It’s her first liter. There’s only the two. Thank the Gods. And she has a list a mile long to pick from. As long as she’s happy and I’m finally allowed to touch her again I don’t care what the pups are named.”
Sarah smiled. She had been trying to have a liter with Drake for a while. It didn’t matter how much sex they had while she was in heat, she just hadn’t gotten pregnant yet. It wasn’t uncommon for it to take years for a lycan to get pregnant. They went into heat so rarely. But at least when they finally did get pregnant they had several at once. Sarah didn’t mind at all when Keith interrupted her thoughts. She was more than a little jealous of Jaylyn at the moment.
