First Moon (New Moon Wolves) BBW Werewolf Romance Read online

  When he lifted his head, she gulped in air as if she’d been underwater too long. Along with oxygen came Tao’s scent. This was the clearest she’d ever smelled it. The woodsy pine note, the sweetness of green grass, plus a scent that reminded her of fresh earth after a hard rain and an indescribable musk that marked Tao as Tao. It filled her senses and she moaned. He smelled good enough to eat. Actually, that wasn’t a half bad idea. Smiling to herself, Audrey sank to her knees and took him in her mouth.

  Tao groaned, his hands skimming the top of her head as she did her best to swallow him whole. He tasted as good as he smelled. Audrey bathed him with her tongue and then sucked, pleased at how much he swelled in her mouth. The more she sucked, the harder and longer he became. The idea of him buried inside her made her core spasm and another burst of wetness coated her inner thighs.

  “You feel that, baby?” Tao thrust his hips into her. “I’m going to fill you up.”

  She moaned her agreement and he gasped as her voice washed over him.

  His hands tightened on her scalp. “Yeah, just like that.”

  Audrey redoubled her efforts to take all of him in her mouth. He seemed bigger than she remembered, but no matter how much of him she took, she wanted even more. After a while, Tao gently pulled away and lifted Audrey to her feet with easy strength.

  “Tonight is about me making you scream, not the other way around.” He kissed her again, tongue sweeping her mouth, tasting their combined flavors. His hands travelled her body, alternately caressing and pinching until she couldn’t stop squirming.

  He kneeled on the ground, pulling her down after him. To her surprise, he paused then and carefully removed the bandage around her healing hand.

  “What are you doing?” she asked.

  “You’re not going to need this anymore and you’ll want your paws free to run.” He lifted her hand to his mouth, kissing each knuckle with soft lips. From there he moved to her breasts again, pushing her back until she lay on the ground.

  It seemed to Audrey that her skin glowed in the moonlight. White as a glow-in-the-dark ghost. I am soaking up the moon, she thought dreamily as she looked at the silver circle above.

  Tao’s finger touched her core and she gasped at the contact. He stroked her there, short little up and down movements that made her hips spin. Leaning down, he took a nipple in his mouth and lashed at it with his tongue.

  “Oh,” Audrey sighed, arching her chest up.

  He switched nipples and his finger began to move faster. Pressure built up in her body and a wet pulse beat deep inside her. The orgasm brimmed, full of sensation and she held her breath, ready for that moment when she would freefall into pleasure.

  It didn’t arrive as expected. Instead, Tao’s finger went still. Audrey whimpered.

  “Oh yes, I like that sound, too. Do it again.” He teased her with his finger and then stopped.

  Audrey bit her lip, fighting for control, but damned if the loss of sensation wasn’t driving her out of her mind. She needed him on her, inside her, all over her. For him to stop now was just torture. “Please,” she moaned. “Oh please, Tao.”

  “Begging is always good.” He chuckled and resumed stroking the bud nestled in her core. The tension built until she arched up into his hand, thighs flexing as an orgasm began to brim within her.

  She twisted her good hand in the ground, searching for something to hold onto but came up empty. Tao stopped touching her again and she fought back a sob. But then Tao was there, sliding inside her, his shoulders within easy reach. She hung onto him as he filled her until she felt she would burst.

  “You may be a wolf in the woods,” she panted, “but you’re a beast in the sheets.”

  “Damn right,” he said, voice rough with satisfaction. “I’m a beast for you.”

  He thrust into her, hard and fast. Her body molded to him and she cried out with every thrust. Within seconds she quivered on the brink of a climax so big she was almost afraid of it. Tao leaned down and sank his teeth into the flesh over her collarbone, marking her just as he’d done the first night they’d slept together. Then he arched back and slammed hard into her, howling as he came.

  Audrey hugged him close as she shattered into a million pieces. Her flesh went limp and then puddled into the ground. She was melting again, but this time it didn’t scare her, it felt good. Like a full body stretch after being cooped up too long.

  Am I shifting?

  Things inside her snapped apart and then came back together. There was pain, sharp but fleeting. For a second, everything went black. She couldn’t see or hear, but she could smell. The world filled her nose and she gasped at its bouquet. There was the wet heat of sex, the clean scent of air and the earthy musk of the dirt beneath her. She swore she caught the cool silver scent of the moonlight, too. Apparently even light had a scent.

  Audrey started to speak, wanting to comment on the wonder of it all, but instead of words, a soft yowl came out. Her eyes flew open and she blinked as she took in the gray monotone that now comprised her vision. The loss of color surprised her and she kept blinking, trying to adjust to a world made up of shadowed contrast.

  She shook herself, feeling her body wriggle from head to…tail? Oh. That was a new sensation.

  She’d shifted.

  Holy shit. It really happened.

  Remembering her hand, she lifted a paw and looked it over. Had she healed in the shift? Nuzzling her paw, she found it intact with no sign of injury beyond missing one tiny toenail. Amazed, she set her foot back on the ground and then jumped as the soft pads of her paw hit something sharp and unforgiving. Sniffing forward, she inspected what had hurt her. It was small, hard and smelled like wet steel.

  One of the surgical pins. She sat back on her haunches, a little stunned by everything. She’d become a werewolf, healing old wounds in the process. It was a lot to take in.

  Something bumped her shoulder and she spun around, relaxing only when she realized it was Tao. He’d shifted as well and his midnight black fur blended in seamlessly with the night. If not for the faint gleam in his eyes, she wouldn’t have seen him.

  Wolves bayed in the distance and she lifted her head to sing with them, instinct guiding her. Tao stood shoulder-to-shoulder with her and howled too.

  And then they ran. Tao led her through the woods and up to the top of a high dune. He went so fast that, at first, she worried she wouldn’t be able to keep up. To her delight though, she wasn’t clumsy but surefooted in her wolf form. She may not see color, but details were sharper along with her reflexes and her nose acted like a third eye. She could roughly locate things by scent alone. Such as the pine branch that was just low enough to clip her on the head as she passed through. The strength of its scent caused her to duck at the last second.

  It was similar in a way to sonar that bats used, but passively relied on the wind to carry scents to her. Depending on the strength of the smell and the way the wind blew, she could judge how close or far away it was. The lake’s fresh scent was fainter than the fir and pine trees around her, giving her a rough sense of distance. Left and right were discernible as well, which surprised her.

  It’s like my nose is a GPS system.

  And her tail was freaking her out. It sensed what was behind her and helped her regain her balance when she had to change directions abruptly. In college, she’d been taught that the sole function of a canine’s tail was to convey emotion. Science couldn’t have been more wrong. Her tail was a sensory organ, orienting her to the world around her.

  On top of the dune, she stared up at the night sky, the moon glowing like a pearl. Becoming a wolf was indescribably awesome. She felt free. Strong. Safe. Powerful. This wasn’t a nightmare, it was a dream and Tao was right there to share it with her.

  She howled at the moon, too excited not to shout for joy. Tao picked up on her mood and gave her a friendly head butt to the shoulder. Once she calmed down, they snuggled together and let the silver moonlight bathe them.

  So many
thoughts tumbled through her mind. She was a wolf. She had a mate and a fledgling pack, the big family she’d always wanted. Her life would never go back to what it had been. Despite all the violence, though, she wouldn’t change a thing because that would mean living without Tao, which was no life at all.

  Burying her nose in Tao’s neck, she breathed in his essence. A profound sense of peace settled over her. I’m a werewolf in love. The thought surprised her and made her laugh, which came out as a huffing sound. Tao cocked his head, curious. She just smiled at him, tongue lolling out the side of her mouth.

  Now that was a strange sensation. Audrey kept trying to slurp her tongue back in, but every time she opened her mouth, it flopped out. Long tongues were tricky things.

  Audrey looked at the moon again, her thoughts focusing on her future. She and Tao had a long journey ahead of them. Not just starting their relationship, but building a pack and protecting all of Nick’s victims from the fallout of his bite. Plus, she still hadn’t made her tofu taco salad yet for Tao, and she was determined to vegan-ize him as much as possible. If he got to spank her, she sure as hell was going to fill his plate with tofu. On a more serious note, she wondered if Kai and Leo would find mates like their brother. They certainly deserved to.

  Once, she’d caught Leo watching her and Tao with an expression of such longing on his face, it had made her feel lonely. Kai, of course, was oblivious to anything except his magic mojo, but Audrey felt the right woman might bring him down to earth and make him a little less weird. Maybe the lucky girl could even get him to speak English. Most importantly, she wanted Tao’s brothers to be happy, to find their other halves. They should have what she and Tao had. She hated how much they’d been ostracized in their pack. For all the horrible things Nick did, in the end, he’d given his brothers a chance to live a life without the stigma of being wolf-born.

  She nuzzled Tao’s neck again. Whatever happens, we’ll stand together. Tao’s at my side and I’m at his. Lifting her head, she howled at the moon, singing her heart out. Tao’s voice twined with hers, and one by one, the rest of the pack joined in until their howls filled the night.

  We’re wolves under our first moon and we’re here to stay.

  -The End-

  Thanks so much for reading First Moon! I hope you enjoyed it! The setting was inspired by family vacations in Northern Michigan, which is an amazing and beautiful area of the United States. While I changed the names of towns and local attractions, the dunes are real as is the dune cliff and mosquitoes really are the (unofficial) state bird of Michigan.

  Were you sorry to see the story end? Want more? Leo, Kai and the Sherriff all have stories to tell about living in their newly formed pack. Plus, I kind of want to see what happens when Tao finally spanks Audrey, don’t you? So keep an eye out for a short story with that scene. If you’d like to know when those come out, please subscribe to my newsletter.
