Alpha Daddy
Chapter Four
Evelyn watched as Gideon dogged the steps of their Alpha chatter away in the irrepressible manner of young boys. It warmed her heart to see Jackson listening to her son and giving him answers to his endless supply of questions.
Tears filled her eyes; Gideon was going to be all right. She’d been afraid that Maddox would either drive all the spirit out of him or turn him into a murderous bully in his image.
Their new Alpha had saved her son from that fate and slowly but surely he was worming his way into her heart.
Evelyn had eaten with him several times since that day he’d spanked her, she always found herself on pins and needles expecting him to touch her again. The part of her she hadn’t realized even existed was aching for his touch…her pussy seemed to always be slick with need…her achy little clit jolting to attention every time she caught a glimpse of him.
She knew he could smell her need…the musk of her arousal filled the air around her…she could smell it herself but the Alpha gave no indication that he could. He hadn’t touched her again beyond putting a hand in the small of her back to guide her as they walked or kissing her lightly on the forehead when they parted ways.
It had been a month since Jackson had spanked her and then given Evelyn her first glimpse at the pleasure she could receive in her mate’s arms. She found herself on tenterhooks. Laughing too hard at his jokes and smiling inanely every time he was around.
Evelyn realized she was no longer afraid of his touch…she wanted it…craved it. She wasn’t sure about taking him to mate…or even sex with full penetration. Her experience with the mating knot was torturous rather than pleasurable and Evelyn wasn’t sure she could withstand it again…even with her true mate.
The thought that she might be too damaged to respond to Jackson appropriately made her eyes tear up again. He deserved so much better than a broken woman to have as his mate.
It was when she had allowed herself to sink into that reality that Gideon slammed into the house with Jackson on his heels. “Mama! Mama!”
Gideon ran to her full speed then stopped suddenly when he saw her face. “What’s wrong Mama?” He looked nervously around their home. “He’s not back is he?”
The sight of how pale her poor child’s face went with those words pulled her out of her dark musings. “No baby. Everything’s fine.”
Evelyn hugged Gideon tight to reassure him. After a moment he pushed away then looked up at her with a frown. “Then why were you crying?”
Horribly conscious of the fact that her Alpha was standing a few feet away watching them closely she shook her head and forced a smile. “I wasn’t crying…I’d just been…”
Jackson stepped forward and squatted down next to Gideon. “I think me and your mama need to have a little talk son. Why don’t you go find Brody and some of the other cubs to play.”
Gideon immediately brightened. “Yes sir!” Then he was out the door in a flash the sound of his slamming shut behind him making both the adults wince.
Evelyn’s body began to react predictably to his presence, the arousal combined with her anxiety about the whole situation made her a little sharper than she intended. “What did you need to talk to me about?” She knew her tone was a little too crisp to count as civil.
Jackson just leaned back against the wall, crossing his arm over his chest and looked at her.
His silent scrutiny made her even more nervous and she found herself fidgeting with the hem of her shirt and biting her lower lip. When he gave her a slow smile in return she frowned.
“What?”
He just continued to smile enigmatically at her.
“Stop it! I am not up for these silly games.” Evelyn stomped to the door opening it and then looked expectantly at him. “Have a nice day.”
Jackson cocked his head at her for a moment then nodded. It was like he’d reached a decision but she had no idea what about. Then he walked forward catching her against him and swinging the door shut.
Evelyn loved the way his body felt pressed flush against her own. He was rigid and hard everywhere she was soft and just the way he held her was enough to steal her breath. Looking up she found her eyes trapped in his gaze.
She licked her lips nervously as he stared down at her. The silence was deafening. “What! What do you want from me?”
He slowly lowered his head toward hers, she watched him move closer and closer all the breath seeming to leave her lungs when he pressed one soft kiss to her parted lips as lightly as the caress of a butterfly. Then he lifted his head staring into her eyes as he did it again and then a third time.
“You know what I want my sweet, little Evie.” At his words, her mouth went dry and she shook her head as she continued to look up at him.
Jackson smiled, “Yes you do.”
Evelyn began struggling against his gentle embrace, “No I don’t I have no idea what you want or expect from me!”
Jackson held her fast and shook his own head before he lifted one hand to tap her lightly on the end of the nose. “What have I told you about fibbing little girl?”
She began to pant in his hold as all the anxiety came down on her at once. She couldn’t breathe! Evelyn began to struggle in earnest frantically trying to pull away as she gasped for air.
Jackson immediately loosened his hold and guided her down to the floor. Sitting down he pulled her into his lap with her back against his chest. “Shhhh…breathe with me little wolf…breathe with me.”
She felt the way his chest moved as he took a deep and even breath but she couldn’t relax the tight band around her lungs. “I…huh..huh…I…”
A growl rumbled from his chest vibrating through her back and she was surprised to find it oddly soothing. “You will listen to me and breathe.”
Evelyn felt herself relax against him as she took in a ragged breath. “Good girl. Keep breathing with me.” She sank into him as her body began to react to the rhythm of his breaths…he whispered into her ear. “In…and out…in…and out.”
Finally, she was completely limp in his arm and breathing normally. “There’s my sweet girl. Are you ready to talk about it?”
It all felt so hopeless Evelyn began to cry again. Jackson scooted back against the wall and lifted her to cradle her on his lap. She clung to him sobbing out everything from the death of her father to her fears of what would become of her son. If Maddox had ever caught her crying he’d snarled at her and told her he’d give her something to cry about. Evelyn had learned not to cry or show any emotion.
In a lot of ways, she’d begun to feel dead inside with the exception of the love she felt for her Gideon. Since Jackson had become the pack Alpha her emotions had come back to the surface with a vengeance and she stayed confused and afraid of what was coming next.
She told him everything from the way Maddox had killed her father and then taken her in the dirt next to where her father’s body lay…claiming her like she was the spoils of war. Forced to be his mate her existence had been full of fear and loathing.
Evelyn hated herself for what she’d let Maddox do to her and then her son who had never asked to be born.
Jackson held her as she sobbed rocking her to and fro and stroking a soothing hand up and down her back.
“I’m so afraid,” she whispered against his neck.
He lifted her away a little so he could look into her tear-stained face. “What are you afraid of little wolf?”
Evelyn took a deep shuddering breath, “Of you…of me…of sex…of everything! I know you deserve better…I’m damaged goods.”
Jackson moved her so she was straddling his thighs and cupping both hands around her face forcing her to meet his eyes directly. “Don’t you ever call yourself damaged goods again. You are a fierce and beautiful wolf and I will be lucky to call you mine.”
“But…”
“No. There are no buts here I will be proud to have you at my side.”
“But I…”
Jackson laid one finger over her lips. “You survived…that makes you a warrior in my eyes. You survived for yourself and your cub until I came. You my sweet little wolf are more than I deserve. It took me too long to get here.”
Evelyn blinked in surprise, “How could you have known? It wasn’t your fault.”
“Right, it wasn’t my fault and it wasn’t your fault. How about we agree to lay the blame where it belongs?” He looked at her with one eyebrow raised.
She was surprised to find herself smiling, “On Maddox Trace?”
“Exactly,” then Jackson leaned forward and kissed her firmly his tongue sweeping past her lips to claim the sweetness inside.
This wasn’t the sweetly affectionate kisses he’d been giving her over the last month…this kiss was sweetly dominant. He claimed her mouth thoroughly driving away thoughts of anyone but him.
She sank into the heat of his body and it felt like his strength flowed into her marrow making her strong.
When he released her mouth she sighed and rested her head against his chest letting the steady beat of his heart. The reassuring sound of his heart beating beneath her ear seemed to reinforce the safety and security he represented.
Evelyn was surprised to find that she very much wanted to try…was she brave enough?
“What are you thinking about Evie?” His deep voice rumbled and she felt his words vibrating through her.
“I’m trying to decide whether or not I’m brave enough…” She snuggled in closer when one of his large hands began to stroke her hair.
“Brave enough for what?” His hand stilled over the crown of her head cradling it.
Evelyn took a deep breath, “Brave enough to be your mate.”
Jackson chuckled and held her away from him again forcing her to sit straight up while straddling his thighs. “Sweet girl you are my mate…bravery doesn’t come into it.”
She squirmed around on his thighs trying to ignore the way her clit throbbed, “I’m serious. I’m damaged…what if Maddox broke me and I can’t be fixed.”
Jackson caught her under the thighs and pulled her flush against him. She gasped as a flood of wet heat rushed from her center. “Babygirl you are far from broken. I smell how sweetly you respond to me every time we are together. Didn’t you come just from riding the seam of my jeans?”
Evelyn was mortified that he’d said such a thing out loud, she felt heat flood into her face and she tried to get off his lap.
He held her fast. “Answer me Evie.”
She froze staring at him, “I…can’t…”
“Yes, you can babygirl. Tell me.” She looked into his eyes again searching for any hint that he would relent and she found only implacable resolve.
Evelyn licked her lips and focused on the middle of his t-shirt. “You know I did.”
He tightened his hold on her thighs and jerked her so her tender mound ground against the rigid proof of his arousal. She gasped, her eyes flying up to his again.
“Did you or did you not come for me?” There was nothing but demand radiating from him.
“I came for you,” she barely recognized the breathy quality of her voice.
“Then how can you possibly think you’re broken?” Jackson’s face softened as he looked tenderly into her eyes.
Evelyn was saved from answering when Gideon opened the front door with abandon running. “Mama!” then he froze staring at them. “Why are you sitting on the Alpha’s lap?”
She began scrambling off of Jackson as quickly as she could this time he allowed it. Jackson rose fluidly to his feet and held a hand out to her to help her up. “Your mama was sad and I was making her feel better.”
Gideon stared at her wide-eyed. “He isn’t coming back is he?” The fear in her son’s voice broke her heart. She should have tried harder to get him away from Maddox.
Jackson surprised her by picking Gideon up and holding him on his hip. At eight Gideon was really much too big to be held that way but the Alpha didn’t seem to care. “I want you both to look at me.”
Evelyn reached for her son’s hand and they both looked up at their Alpha. “He is never coming back here and if he did I would not allow him to touch either of you. You both belong to me now. I’m your Alpha.”
She saw the relief in her son’s face that she knew was mirrored in her own. Jackson set Gideon back down on his feet.
Gideon looked from her to Jackson and back again before smiling. Her son had obviously decided something.
“I’m going back out to play,” Gideon announced then surprised her by giving Jackson a quick hug before running out the door.
Evelyn chewed her bottom lip as she stared at the empty space where Gideon had been just a moment ago.
“I want you and Gideon to move in with me,” Her eyes flew to Jackson’s the minute the meaning of his words sunk in.
“What?” Surely he couldn’t be serious.
Jackson held up a placating hand, “Don’t panic. I want you to move in with me because you’re my mate and that makes Gideon my son. I want you both with me so I can protect you…”
Evelyn felt panic building in her chest, “I’m not ready too…”
“Slow your roll babygirl.” He caught her firmly by the upper arms and pulled her back against him.
She felt her body start to relax even though Evelyn knew she should be on her guard. The knowledge didn’t seem to matter because every time Jackson held her like this her body seemed to have a mind of its own. She sank into his heat her body becoming like a limp noodle.
Evelyn felt his lips quirk up against her hair as he stroked one big hand up and down her back. “I’m not talking about sex…I just want to hold you every night. I want you to get used to being in my arms. I want to have Gideon in my home getting to see how a real man…a real alpha behaves all the time.”
She released the breath she’d been holding in a rush, “No sex?”
Jackson stepped back from her cupping her face between his hands and staring into her eyes. “Little wolf, I won’t take you until you’re begging me too…I won’t knot you until you beg for my knot.”
Evelyn licked her lips and then nodded, “Okay.”
“Wait before you agree I need you to know I will be touching you. I plan to kiss you…hold you and stroke that sweet body with my hands, fingers, and tongue. I’m going to make you come hard and often but you won’t get my cock until you need it so bad you think you will go crazy without it…not until you crave my cock and my knot slammed into you so hard and deep you don’t know where I end and you begin.” She couldn’t help the shudder that ran through her at his words.
She was torn, Evelyn wanted to experience the pleasure he’d given her again but she was still afraid of the sex act. She was positive it would hurt and that no dick even one that belonged to her true mate could ever give her pleasure.
Could he really keep such a promise? Evelyn studied him doubtfully, she couldn’t imagine any time she would ever beg for his cock much less his knot…would it even be fair to agree when she knew she would never voluntarily touch his dick?
***
Jackson watched the thoughts and emotions play across Evie’s face. He knew she didn’t believe she would ever beg for his cock but he knew she would. Her wolf wouldn’t let her hold out forever but he would keep his promise.
Nothing was more important between mates than trust. Having his little mate in his bed was the fastest way to get her accustomed to his touch and the pleasure he could give her.
“Do you trust me to keep my word?” Indecision flitted across her face.
“I trust you. We’ll move in with you but I’m worried you will end up feeling you made a bad bargain.” Evie looked sad.
“I would never feel that way babygirl.” Jackson reassured her.
She looked up at him with sad eyes, “I’ll try but I won’t ever beg for your cock.”
Jackson smiled and pressed a soft kiss to her lips then patted her lightly on the hip. “Go get your things together.”
Evelyn nodded and went to pack up their things.
Jackson knew when he had his mate in his home and his bed eventually she would beg for his touch. She would beg for his touch and his cock and eventually even his knot. It was her destiny as his true mate.
He just needed her to get beyond the fear of the sex act Maddox had instilled in her by his repeated abuse and rape. A low growl escaped him as he thought of everything the other wolf had done.
Jackson wished he could have killed the bastard but his entire pack including Evie and Gideon needed to see an Alpha show a different side…something besides brutality.
Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed it. The next chapter will be coming in the New Year.
