Claimed by Her Viking Wolf Read online

  He couldn’t shift, but his animal was getting stronger, and sure enough his claws emerged at his silent command. A shiver went through the woman underneath him, and her heartbeat accelerated. It was the awestruck whisper reaching his ears that made him smile, however, and he opened his eyes, to find her staring at his hands.

  “Wow.” Letting go of the headboard she reached out to touch his claws. Asger gave her that moment to examine the other side of him. Her gaze darted from his face to his clawed hand and back again, while the sweet musk of her arousal perfumed the air between them. His wolf all but purred at the open admiration in her expression, as Kim smiled up at him.

  “I can’t wait to see you shift fully. I bet you’re beautiful in your wolf form.”

  Asger flashed her grin, and then pointedly stared at her fingers still examining his claws.

  “I am deadly, too.” She swallowed hard at that those words, but he didn’t sense any fear off her. More of a quiet acceptance of that fact, which her next words confirmed.

  “You’re deadly in your human form, so I don’t doubt that, but I also know that you would never hurt me, so you can stop with the big bad wolf act.”

  She grinned when his animal growled at that. Asger vowed to show her just how bad his wolf could be. It would have to wait until they were truly mated, however. She was too fragile for that in her current state.

  “You will find out just how bad I can be a lot sooner than would be good for you, if you do not do as you are told. Hands on the headboard, kona.”

  Asger nodded his approval when she complied immediately, and laughed when he spotted what he needed on her bed stand. Kimberly kept a collection of colorful hair ties in a bowl. They would be perfect for helping her to keep her hands where he wanted them.

  Reaching across he snagged a couple and looping them first through the slots and then her wrists, he secured his kona to his satisfaction.

  “There, you can get out of those if you have to, but you will not do that, will you?”

  “No, minn rekkr,” she said, and he tapped her nose.

  “Hmm, I approve of the title, kona.”

  They smiled at each other like a pair of lovesick puppies, until Asger brought his clawed hand into her vision. Kim sobered, and swallowed hard, when he ran the tip of his lethal claw along her neck, and up to her mouth.

  The plump lips opened to him, and withdrawing his finger he bent his head to claim the soft flesh in a gentle kiss, which quickly turned passionate when Kim kissed him back. Desire soaked eyes pleaded with him when he withdrew. She yanked on her makeshift restraints, when he ran his clawed index finger slowly along her collarbone, and down into the valley between her breasts. Asger ran circles around the heavy mounds with both his hands now, his claws digging in just enough to mark her pale skin with the thin red lines of his possession.

  When he flicked the little hard buds of her nipples, Kim gasped, moaned and arched her back in silent encouragement. Taking the hint, and giving in to the now urgent need to taste her, to hurry this along, he took one of the nubbins into his mouth, while he rolled the other one between his thumb and forefinger.

  A deep throated moan was his reward. Goosebumps broke out on his kona’s skin, as she writhed under his tongue and fingers. Having suckled one nipple into an elongated shape, he swapped his attention to the other one, while lifting off her. When Asger trailed his free hand down toward her cunt, he smiled around his mouthful of breast. Kim eagerly opened her legs to give him entrance, and his questing digits encountered soft tissue drenched in her juices.

  Releasing her nipple with a soft pop, he brought his slick fingers up to his mouth and sucked them clean. Another one of those cock hardening groans came from his mate as she watched him through hooded eyes. Beads of perspiration rested on her upper lips, and her whole body shook with the force of her breathing.

  “So wet for me, minn kona, but I think you can do even better.”

  He laughed at her moaned denial, as she shook her head. Scooting further down the bed, he got to his knees, slid his hands under her ass cheeks, and lifted her up.

  “Let me see my cunt. Ah, there it is.” He grinned up at her when she let her legs fall wide open. Completely exposed to him, her inner lips opened up to reveal the little quivering hole he couldn’t wait to claim. He blew across her slit, and the bundle of nerves at the top of her hood contracted. As he watched and repeated that action while circling her clit with the tip of his tongue, more of her nectar left her cunt and trickled down her cleft toward her other hole.

  “Oh, God, please…”

  He repeated the action several more times, until her whole body shook in need. The color of her lips darkened as more and more blood rushed to that area in her arousal, and she grew wetter still. More than wet enough to lubricate her to claim both of her holes. He lapped up her arousal, and inhaled deeply against the tight ring of muscle guarding her delectable ass.

  Unintelligible sounds spilled from her lips and her thighs tightened around his head, as she started to grind herself against his face.

  Kim whined when he bit the soft flesh of her inner thigh and withdrew.

  “Please, I need to come. I’m so damn close. Please, Asger, come with me. Make me yours.”

  Asger closed his eyes to savor this moment, he would no doubt remember, when he was old and grey and rocking his great-grandchildren off to sleep. The thought of his kona heavy with his child made his wolf howl, and taking his cock in hand he slid the already thickening tip through Kim’s wet slit.

  “Yes, yes, just take …oh.”

  Kim’s mouth opened into a silent scream when he thrust into her clenching hole. Asger swore and clenched his teeth against the overwhelming sensation of her tight, wet heat gripping his cock.

  “Fuck, relax, sváss. Let me love you.”

  Their gazes locked, as he continued to push in slowly. Beads of sweat slid into his eyes, and blurred his vision with the sheer effort required to hold still and to inch in at a pace she could cope with.

  Kim whined, but she didn’t tell him to stop. When he was halfway in the crushing force around his cock relaxed slightly. He pulled back until only his head stretched her inner lips, and Kim gasped.

  “Yes, please, just. Move, for the love of God, please … I’m okay now. I—”

  The rest of whatever she was going to say was lost in a scream as Asger lost the ability to go slow. He thrust back into her willing body, seating himself further with every forward move of his strong hips between her thighs, until at long last he bottomed out. His balls hit her ass, and he hung his head to claim her mouth in a long drugging kiss, while he started to move in earnest.

  “Please, let me, need to.”

  Kim yanked at her restraints while she mumbled the words in between kisses and using his claws, he freed her in one fell move. When she wrapped her arms and legs around him, it drew him in further, and Asger howled his approval. Spurred on by her incoherent moans into his ear, he set a ruthless pace, as he pistoned in and out of her in ever faster moves. When he angled his thrusts, so that every move of his dick scraped along her hugely extended clit, Kim tumbled into her first orgasm. Another gush of her juices soaked them both as she came. It was what Asger had been waiting for. Much to his surprise his wolf burst free, his fangs descended, and his claws slid through the covers of Kim’s bed. He was dimly aware of her eyes growing wide and the brief smell of fear, before he pulled out of her. The action stretched her obscenely wide, and Kim came a second time, as he flung her face down on the bed, and bringing her ass up, surged back into her cunt. Her muscles clenched around him in rhythmic waves designed to drive him, too, past the point of no return, as he thrust deep.

  The bed banged against the wall, and the sound of his balls slapping her clit on every down stroke set the perfect backdrop for their frantic coupling, interspersed with Kim’s whimpers of arousal and the deep growls of his wolf. Asger’s release built with the speed and intensity of an out of control bull, and hooki
ng one of his fingers, slick with Kim’s juices, into her anus, he thrust deep one last time, while giving his wolf free rein.

  “Minn, all mine.”

  His wolf’s fangs tore through the sweat-slicked skin of his mate, and Kim’s scream rang in his ears, as her life essence flowed on his tongue, while he pumped his seed into her body. They shook together as her internal muscles clamped down on his pulsing cock and the force of the mating orgasm took Kim also.

  Tears pricked the backs of Asger’s eyes, as he collapsed on top of her, his cock locked tight in her cunt, his wolf truly at peace for the first time since he’d come to in her world. He had the foresight to roll slightly, so that they lay on their sides, joined together as intimately as two people could be. Retracting his teeth, he licked the wound until it closed, leaving his mark behind.

  Shivers ran along his kona’s spine, and he pulled her closer. Guilt pricked at him. She hadn’t agreed to his bite. In truth he hadn’t thought this would happen, not until he was back in his time, but he didn’t regret the action either.

  Her even breathing told him that she had either passed out or fallen asleep, which was probably for the best. No doubt he would have some explaining to do when she would wake up. He smiled as darkness encroached on him, too, together with the sickening feeling of falling. His wolf yipped his excitement as the world swirled by, and with his last conscious thought, before the magic pulled him under, Asger tightened his hold on his precious bundle.

  He hoped they would wake up in the safety of his homestead. Either way, he was finally going home.

  Chapter Ten

  Childish whispers and giggles broke through into Kim’s consciousness, as she struggled to wake up. Not that she wanted to. Her body ached in places she didn’t know she could ache as her muscles contracted. Her ass protested the move, as she tried to roll to her side, and failed. What or who was confining her? And those were definitely children she could hear. Children speaking Norse?

  Kim jerked awake, and screamed as she encountered the eyes of a goat. The animal was nibbling on the furs that made up the covering of the bedstead she seemed to be on. Furs that had wrapped around her in a tight cocoon, thus stopping her from moving. Fortunately they also covered up her nakedness. Because Kim was very much naked under here, and she was most certainly not in her own time anymore.

  Heat rushed into her cheeks when that blasted goat bleated at her, and getting one hand free, she shooed him away.

  “Go get, be off with you.”

  The same childish voices she’d heard waking up, erupted into fits of giggles at the bottom of her bed. She could just about see a mass of white blond hair and the impish grin on two little boys’ faces as they ducked back from view.

  The menacing goat, in the meantime, bleated again, and then backtracked out the curtain that had been hung to presumably separate this sleeping space from the rest of the dwelling. A very Viking dwelling, as her befuddled mind seemed to finally comprehend. Which could only mean one thing. They’d made it back to Asger’s time, and…

  With a frightening jolt of clarity the previous night’s events came rushing back to Kim, and she brought her hand up to her neck. Sure enough, there, still tender under her fingertips was the slightly raised mark of Asger’s possession.

  Before she could process the rush of emotions that flooded her at that revelation, her pintsized intruders at the bottom of the bed caught her attention. They were whispering again, and her lips twitched at what she was hearing. She would contemplate why she could understand them at a later time. Yet more magic at work, no doubt. Kim shook her head in wonder. She didn’t even believe in magic, yet here she was.

  “This is your fault, Thorston. I told you she’d wake up. Mother will take the belt to my behind for this.”

  “No, she will not. You’re her favorite, and besides Father isn’t back yet. He’s the one who gives us the belt.”

  “Oh, you’re so dumb. Uncle Asger is back, and he hits even harder than Father. He will be so angry. He told us to let her sleep.”

  “But she’s been asleep for ages, and besides.”

  Kim put her hand over her mouth to stop herself from laughing out loud as the bed shook and one little blond head could be seen bopping up and out of view as its owner seemed to be bouncing up and down.

  “It wasn’t us that woke her up. It was the goat.”

  A slap could be heard, and Kim frowned.

  “Oh, you are so stupid. Mother said to keep the goat way from Asger’s woman. So, you see, we will still get told off.”

  Something of a struggle seemed to be taking place until Kim cleared her throat.

  “Hello?”

  The struggle stopped, and she fixed a smile on her face when two little blond haired, blue eyed boys cautiously appeared from behind the bed.

  “I’m Kim,” she said. “Now I know one of you is Thorston, right?”

  The slightly taller one puffed out his little chest and thumped it hard with his fist. His younger brother looked up at him, and offered Kim a tooth- gapped smile, as he scrambled up unto the bed. Before she could stop him he had wrapped his little hands around her neck in a tight hug.

  “You smell nice,” he mumbled. When his brother shouted at him to let go, he reluctantly released her, but sniffed her again very audibly.

  Kim pulled a face. It was on the tip of her tongue to deny that when the curtain opened and a very heavily pregnant woman gave the little guy sat next to her an indulgent smile.

  “I thought I could hear you. Thorston, did I not tell you to keep Gunstan away from your uncle’s woman? She needs her rest.”

  Amber eyes the exact same color of Asger’s connected with hers, and Kim realized this had to be Guta, Asger’s sister. There was no mistaking the family resemblance, or the fact that Asger’s sister really oughtn’t to be on her feet. Kim was no expert in pregnancy, but judging by the lowness of the enormous belly which Guta’s slight frame had to be struggling to support, she was ready to drop, if not overdue. A shiver of unease curled low in Kim’s belly. No wonder Asger worried over her.

  “Sorry, Mother.” Thorston’s sincere apology snared Kim’s attention back to him. “I shall take this nuisance away with me.”

  “I’m not a nuisance.” Gunstan put his hands on his hips and stuck his bottom lip out in the most adorable pout. Goodness, this little imp would steal anyone’s heart. “Not leaving. Like it here. Asger’s woman smells nice.”

  Thorston rolled his eyes. Guta gave a tired laugh, which made Kim scoot over as much as she was able to, and pat the side of the bed.

  “Here, please, sit down. You shouldn’t be standing in your condition.”

  Guta looked surprised, but did sit on the edge of the bed with a deep sigh that spoke volumes.

  “Thank you, my dear sister to be. This child does get heavy to carry around.”

  Kim blinked at the unexpected address, but before she could open her mouth to refute that notion, Guta addressed her sons.

  “You two, scoot, and see if you can get a message to the hunting party. Your uncle wanted to know when his woman is awake.”

  A squeal came from Gunstan, which turned into a yip, as he bounced off the bed with dizzying speed. In the blink of an eye, the little boy had transformed into a wolf cub. His cornflower blue eyes sparked up at Kim, as she instinctively rubbed her own, afraid they were deceiving her.

  Knowing Asger’s people were wolf shifters, and seeing such an effortless transformation in the flesh were two entirely different things, and Kim was glad she was sitting down. At least, this way it was only her mouth doing goldfish impressions, and she didn’t add to her embarrassment by sliding to the floor in a heap, because her knees gave out.

  Thorston followed his brother, only he changed mid leap across the bed. One minute there was a little boy, pulling his tunic over his head, the next a brown wolf cub landed gracefully on all four paws. He nudged his younger brother with his muzzle, licked his ear, and with a thoughtful glance back at Ki
m led the smaller pup out of sight.

  “Was that the first time you’ve seen the shift?” Guta’s softly spoken question meant Kim hastily shut her mouth. She nodded, not trusting her voice to work at this moment. Much to her surprise Guta took her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.

  “I thought so. You have a very expressive face. I’m so used to seeing it. I forget how it must look to someone who’s not used to it.”

  Kim returned Guta’s encouraging smile with one of her own.

  “It’s amazing. I mean they make it look so easy. I’d have thought it would hurt?”

  It was Guta’s turn to look puzzled, as she absentmindedly rubbed her big bump. What looked like a mini tsunami rolled across her skin, and Guta winced.

  “Do not do that, little one. Do your mother a favor and come and see us. There is much more room out here than in there.”

  Another rolling wave rippled across her stomach. Guta sighed, and looked across at Kim.

  “No doubt this one is another boy. Just as stubborn as his father.” She tempered the words with a smile, however, and a pang of something akin to envy ripped across Kim’s chest.

  She hadn’t thought too much about having children before, but confronted with Asger’s very pregnant sister and her boys she supposed it was only natural. Especially as her earlier movement had brought with it a sticky wetness between her thighs. Heat rose in her cheeks when she realized what it was—Asger’s cum. With it came the realization that they hadn’t used any protection. A surge of anger at the man made her breathe harder, even as her rational brain kicked in and rolled its eyes at her. He was a Viking, for Pete’s sake. No doubt he had no idea what a condom was, and besides, she should have made sure he used one.

  Kim had had a Mirena coil fitted a couple of years ago to help with her heavy periods, so she wasn’t worried about falling pregnant, but he wouldn’t have known that, damn him. And then there was the whole issue of sexually transmitted diseases. No doubt as a wolf shifter he was immune to those, but still. Where was her brain at? Not functioning around Asger, clearly.
