Taming the Beast

Chapter 43 (Caroline)

My eyes fluttered open as sunlight poured in from the cracks in the blind. I felt an arm around my waist

tightly and steady breath against my neck. I turned to my other side and into Keegan’s hard chest and

moaned at how sore I was. I smiled gently as he chuckled.

“Good morning, my love,” he said in his beyond sexy morning voice. I peeked at him before I felt

something poking my leg. I giggled, feeling like I was very much on cloud nine.

“Last night was…” I trailed off looking for the right word.

“I’m sorry,” he whispered. My eyes went back up to his face. My hand cupped his face as my thumb ran

along his cheek.

“It’s okay, Keegan. I knew on some level that it was going to hurt. But after it stopped hurting, it felt

almost… euphoric,” I said biting my lip lightly before I smirked at him. He chuckled before he kissed

me. It was an eager and passionate kiss. I was ready for him again. His fingers rubbed my

womanhood, spreading my juices over my lips before he hiked up my leg over his hip. I felt his tip at my

entrance before he hurriedly pushed his shaft inside of me. I gasped and moaned almost

simultaneously. I bit his bottom lip hard as he slid almost all the way out before thrusting into me hard.

We were beyond being gentle. Keegan’s lips traveled down my neck to my collarbone. His tongue

roamed around my breasts as his eager thrusts continued. I moaned as he sucked a sensitive nub into

his mouth. He pushed me on to my back as he continued, picking up the pace. Going to the side of my

left breast, he left a lingering kiss before his canines sunk into my delicate flesh.

“Ahh!” I yelled, arching my back up to him. His tongue ran over the puncture wounds until the bleeding

stopped. He sat up and propped my feet up in the bed. His hands ran down my thighs to my hips

before he started pulling my hips forward to meet his. I moaned as that already familiar pressure

started building up. My hands gripped the sheets as my hips rose to meet him. Keegan growled and

brought his lips back to mine as I wrapped my legs around his waist. We were both panting for air. His

chest glistened with beads of sweat and he had the sexiest bed-head I’d ever seen. I tangled my

fingers through his hair and pulled. He groaned loudly as his hands slid up my sides.

“Keegan… I’m about to-” I breathed.

“Hold it,” he growled near my ear. I wasn’t sure if I heard him right.

“What?” I squeaked. He groaned and nipped my ear.

“I said, hold it,” he growled again. His words alone could’ve put me over the top. He was being

possessive and controlling and oddly enough, I liked it this time. He continued thrusting into me as I bit

my lip to hold in my orgasm. He took his index finger and thumb and twisted my right nipple between

his fingers, instantly pushing me over the edge.

“Now,” he breathed. I yelled out his name as my toes curled and I released the pressure between my

legs. It was so intense; more intense than last time. I felt it through every bone in my body. I was

breathless and gasping for air. I saw Keegan tense over me as his thrusts slowed and he groaned

loudly. After a while, we both came off of our high simultaneously. Keegan’s head dropped in the crook

of my neck as he thrusts one more time and kissed my neck gently. I moaned as he rubbed against my

sensitive womanhood. My leg twitched from the aftermath as I closed my eyes and tried to catch my

breath.

“That was wild,” I croaked. My throat was sore from all the screaming I’d been doing lately. He chuckled

huskily and kissed the soft spot on my neck, making me gasp and close my eyes.

“You’re mine,” Keegan growled. “Every inch of you is mine,” he said, thrusting his hips forward on the

last word, making me gasp. His lips brushed against mine gently before he started to pull out. I grabbed

his butt to stop him.

“Not yet,” I asked. He smiled at me lovingly and pecked me before he flipped us over so I was on top of

him. All the while we kept our connection. I hunched over and laid my head down on his chest. He

tucked a piece of hair behind my ear before his arms went around me gently. I didn’t want to stop

touching him just yet. His hand rubbed my back slowly and I sighed. We laid there in a comfortable

silence before I rested my head on my hands and looked at him.

“What happens if the council finds out we did this against their wishes?” I asked softly. He tensed and

looked away from me. I sat up so I was still impaled on him. Keegan sat up also as his hands went to

my lower back.

“They will find out,” he said indifferently. I looked at him confused. He saw my face and sighed.

“Everyone will know. After mating, both people let off a scent that says they’re mated. It’s noticeable

only to Lycan. And honestly, I don’t care. I want the whole world to know that your mine so no one gets

any ideas,” he explained with a low growl on the end. I raised an eyebrow at him in amusement as he

glared at a wall. He saw my face and smiled sheepishly.

“Someone’s gotten possessive,” I laughed at him before giving him a light kiss. He smiled lazily at me.

“Mates get even more possessive after mating. That, plus I’m Alpha blood makes it a hundred times

worse. I’ll get jealous of Danny or Preston even touching you,” he shrugged. I smiled and shook my

head at him.

“Well don’t growl at them or get angry because they are my family. The only family I have left,” I said as

my smile dropped. Keegan lifted my chin with his finger to look at him again.

“Hey, you have me now; and my mom, and my dad, and Karma, and the guys. We’re your family too,”

he said gently. I kissed him lightly and nodded before I raised my hips to swing my leg over and finally

disconnect us. Keegan groaned and closed his eyes as his tip slid out.

“I’m going to go shower,” I muttered. It took me a second to find my balance, I was so sore. I had to use

the bed to walk on my shaky legs. I squealed when Keegan scooped me up. He carried me to the

bathroom, and set my on my feet in the shower.

“I’ll take mine after you,” Keegan said with a smirk. I think he was happy I was sore. I was just happy

that he was officially mine.

(Keegan’s POV)

After showering at Caroline’s house, we both pulled our clothes back on. I was a little disappointed that

I didn’t have any underwear to steal off of her last night, so I pulled a thong out of her drawer when she

wasn’t looking. They were like mementos in a way. Each once signified a different time. Of course, I

washed them but she’d taken a shower before last night so the red lace underwear I took from her

drawer would have to do. I stuck them in my back pocket. Caroline was pulling on a sports bra and t-

shirt. She already put on a pair of underwear and yoga pants. Her back faced me as she checked her

phone. She threw her beautiful long hair up in a messy bun and went to make the bed. She pulled back

the sheets and her eyes went wide as she blushed. I looked at the bed and chuckled. Her eyes

snapped up to me as I started pulling all the sheets off of the bed. In the center of her grey sheets,

there was evidence of her lost virginity. I bundled up the sheets and took them downstairs. I stuffed

them in the washing machine, put the detergent in, and started it. I jogged back up the stairs to find

Caroline trying to stretch out her legs. I smiled and wrapped my arms around her stomach from behind.

She leaned back against me as I kissed her neck and started rocking her gently.

“Sore?” I asked in her neck. My fingers traced the spot where I marked her. She shivered involuntarily

and nodded.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“You’re kind of… big,” she whispered the last past. I laughed softly and kissed her cheek. She was so

innocent… well, she used to be. “We should probably go back to your house. They’ve probably noticed

that we’re gone by now,” she said softly with a sigh. I ran my nose down the arch of her neck, taking in

her delicious and intoxicating scent of vanilla and strawberries.

“As you wish, my love,” my wolf automatically replied. Great, my wolf was turning into a big softie. It

was him who took over this morning; calling Caroline ‘mine’ and telling her to hold it. We stood there for

an extra moment before Caroline craned her neck to kiss me. I smiled and spun her to face me. I

picked her up and she wrapped her legs around my waist. I twitched before breaking contact with her.

“If we don’t leave now, we’re never going to get out of here,” I breathed, centimeters from her face. She

only giggled and set her feet back down on the floor. I grabbed her hand and led her out to the

car.
