Cortez carried Sophie to their bed and let them both crash into the blankets, never breaking the kiss even once. He kissed her with a mixture of hunger and anger, both of which she gave right back to him. The kiss was not gentle in any form. Their tongue tangled and battled for dominance, which neither was about to give up. The frustration of being challenged only fueled them to kiss each other even harder.

One of Cortez's hands gripped Sophie's thigh as his other cupped her ass. His fingers snuck past the fabric of her shorts to touch as much skin as he could and give Sophie what she desired. She just wanted that physical, skin to skin, contact so finally feeling his large hands on her was like receiving the best birthday present of all time. But she still wanted more.

Sophie's hands went fumbling for Cortez's shirt, pulling it up his body to remove it. Cortez got the message and pulled away long enough to toss the fabric aside. He returned to her lips, cupping her delicate face in his hands. Sophie's hands were too busy exploring his exposed torso. Her fingers slide across his broad chest and brushed across his nipples, sinking downwards to caress his flexing ab muscles.

Cortez moved into Sophie's touch, causing his hips to brush against hers. Sophie moaned into his mouth, her fingers slightly curling until she was clawing Cortez's skin. The slightest pressure where she needed him most felt good but not good enough. He was still wearing jeans and boxers and she was still in shorts and panties. How they were still wearing any clothes was beyond her.

"You're wearing too much clothing." Sophie muttered against his lips.

"So are you, baby girl." Cortez groaned.

"Then help me out of them."

Cortez complied, grabbing the hem of Sophie's tank top and dragging it up her body. He admired her soft skin as it was revealed, watching her arch her back to help the process of removal go smoother. When her tank top was discarded, Sophie unraveled her legs from around Cortez's waist to shimmy her shorts down her legs. Cortez looked down between them, feeling his mouth salivate at the sight of her hurrying to reveal herself.

All of his thoughts had suddenly evaded him and the only thing he could think about was tasting her again. And he was determined to do so. Cortez disappeared from above Sophie and grabbed her panties, dragging them down her legs as well. Sophie was too busy unclasping her bra and wiggling out of it to really notice. That was, until, she felt Cortez start planting soft kisses over her inner thigh.

Sophie moaned, letting her legs rest over Cortez's bare shoulders as he drew closer to her core. Cortez didn't bother to waste time, pressing his tongue into her core and lapping up her already wet folds. Sophie quietly gasped and arched her back as the wave of bliss rushed up her spine. Cortez, then, slid a finger inside her and slowly moved it in and out of her. The fit was just as tight as it was the first time, even more so as she clenched around his single digit.

"Cortez.." Sophie moaned as Cortez's sucked on and flicked her sensitive clit. Her fingers disappeared into his hair. "Yes.. That feels so good. I need more. Please, Cortez, more!"

Per request, Cortez inserted another finger. He moaned at the feeling of her juices coat his fingers and her walls clench around him. His dick twitched in the restraint of his jeans as he wished it wasn't his fingers she was enjoying, but his own cock. That would come soon, though. For now, he would make up for angering her by focusing all his effort on giving her the pleasure she desired.

Sophie soon began to squirm as she rocked her hips against his fingers and face, moans spilling off her tongue. Cortez's free arm easily fell over her hips to calm her movements. Her own hands slipped from his hair and gripped his arm like a safety bar of a rollercoaster, because that was very much how she felt right now. His rapid tongue movements and fingers pumping in and out of her was sending her to extreme heights of pleasure.

The pressure in the deepest pit of Sophie's gut was building, causing her moans to turn pathetic and desperate. She was whimpering at this point, begging Cortez not to stop. He didn't plan on it. Instead, quickened the pace of his fingers inside her until she was gasping for air. The beautiful noises filling Cortez's ears raised until she tipped over that edge and halted for a moment.

As her climax crashed into her like a heavy wave, she must've screamed for Cortez a dozen times but didn't know it as her mind went dizzy and clouded. Cortez let her ride out every ounce of her orgasm as she shuttered and quivered in place. She slowly returned from her high, her chest heaving as she quietly panted. Cortez removed his fingers from her core, licking them clean and then lapping up any remains of her orgasm before returning atop of her.

Sophie's fingers suddenly appeared at the waistband of Cortez's jeans and she fumbled to unzip them. The kiss was sloppy, tongues brushing and lips awkward as Sophie attempted to undress him. Cortez finally pulled away and disrobed, appearing completely naked in front of Sophie for the first time. The sight made her jaw go slack and her heart race even more than it already was.

Surprisingly, she wasn't nervous like she always imagined during her first time. She wanted him. She needed him. And she was happy when he collapsed atop of her again, capturing her swollen pink lips with his. Cortez caressed Sophie's face as he kissed her, gently, this time. He wasn't as hungry as he was just happy and content. And he showed it by the way he kissed her with so much love and intent.

"More. I need you now. Inside me." Sophie declared and tried to pull him closer before her attempt had him pulling away.

"Hold on, hold on." Cortez found Sophie's eyes and stared into them as he took a moment to breath. "I don't... I don't want to just fuck you, Sophie."

"You don't?" Sophie pouted, her round eyes rounding out with sadness.

"No.. I mean, yes! Of course! I just..." Cortez huffed as he gently caressed Sophie's face. He was having trouble getting the words off his tongue. "I want to make love to you first, not just fuck you.."

Sophie's hands separated from Cortez's face as she processed that statement. She was slightly confused and taken aback by that. She had sexual education in school and she even read racy books from time to time but neither ever taught her the difference between making love and fucking. She wondered if she should be intimidated by that request. Which one sounded more difficult? She had no idea.

"Okay, uhm.." Sophie blinked a couple times. Cortez carefully watched and studied every fleeting emotion crossing through her emerald eyes. "What's the difference? Do I.. have to do something..?"

Cortez happily chuckled and shook his head, gently brushing some hair out of her face. "No, Gorgeous. You just have to look me in the eyes and tell me you love me. That's all."

Cortez stared into Sophie's deep green eyes as they both quietly panted, her perky nipples brushing against his chest. The erotic feeling almost made him blush, oddly enough. He simply loved the feeling of her naked body against his, finally. Cortez loved how small she was beneath him and the look of lust and need in her soft green eyes. He loved how swollen her lips looked after he kissed her.

"And you're okay with the fact that we don't have condoms..?" Cortez continued.

"It's fine. Just pull out when you're about to come." Sophie shrugged and gently pulled Cortez's closer to plant her lips at the base of his neck.

Cortez moaned at the glorious feeling of Sophie's lips on his skin. The contact instantly made his skin run hot under her touch. "God, that's such a bad birth control plan."

"Please, Cortez. Make love to me." Sophie softly begged, her breath hot against the spit of her wet kisses on his neck.

Cortez melted at the words that slipped off her tongue. Those words sounded far too amazing when she said them.

"Stay there, Sophie." Cortez grabbed his throbbing length and slowly stroked it a couple times in his hand as he aligned with her core. "You can mark me first, alright? Are you ready?"

Sophie hummed a 'yes' and braced herself by hooking an arm around Cortez's shoulders while she gripped his bicep. Slowly and carefully, Cortez pushed into Sophie. Her warmth and wetness easily took him in and engulfed him in pleasure, causing a low and throaty groan to escape Cortez. Meanwhile, Sophie cried and gasped at the painful and pleasurable sensation shooting through her gut.

Since Sophie didn't have a stick to bite down on, Sophie went for Cortez's neck. Her canines pierced Cortez's skin and sent a spark of immense pain and pleasure violently through his body. Cortez's hands buried into the blankets as he growled at the sensation coursing through his veins. He was glad he wasn't moving inside her, otherwise, he would've came right as she bit him. It was as if he just got shocked by jumper cables.

"Are you okay, Sophie?" Cortez heavily panted as he curled an arm around his mate, holding her close to him.

"You're bleeding." Sophie's voice was shaky and weak. Cortez pulled away just enough to look at her and make sure she wasn't crying. She wasn't crying. The tears were only from that quick shot of pain in her gut

Cortez softly chuckled and wiped a stray tear off her cheek. "I'm fine, baby. I promise. It feels good."

"Good?" Sophie gaped in shock. She didn't believe that for a second.

Sophie gently brushed her thumb over the mark she created, causing Cortez's eyes to flutter shut and a breath to fall easily off his chest. He wasn't lying. The spot was warm and tingly, the same pleasurable tingles dancing under his skin from head to toe. Sophie pulled him closer and sweetly kissed the mark. Another moan escaped between Cortez's lips and he mindlessly thrusted into Sophie.

There was more pleasure than pain in that thrust, which made Sophie want more of it. She moaned and gripped his lower back, pulling him into another thrust. That was enough to start a steady rhythm, Cortez rocking gently into Sophie and enjoying every single movement. Sophie moaned his name as she clawed up his back. It was probably the most effective motivation as Cortez felt more determined to give her everything she wanted again.

"I love you, Sophie." Cortez confessed as he thrust into Sophie a little tougher than before. Sophie yelped as Cortez hit just the right spot, the sharp sound falling into a moan.

"I love you too, Cortez." Sophie panted, her soft teen eyes staring into his pitch black ones, even as he thrusted his hips once more.

Cortez's eyes flickered down to her open mouth as she quietly gasped for a fleeting moment before he captured her lips with his own. He swallowed every moan that spilled off of Sophie's tongue and used them to fuel his thrusts. A large hand found Sophie's breast between them and Cortez tenderly massaged it, brushing his thumb over her nipple and playing with the perky nub.

The overwhelming bliss was causing Sophie to go breathless fast. She could hardly keep up with the kiss and Cortez noticed. He broke away from her to trail sweet kisses across her jaw and down her neck. Cortez let his canines tease the patch on her neck that was burning the most. Sophie instantly moaned and rolled her hips to meet his, encouraging him to move more aggressively.

And Cortez did just that. He cupped one side of Sophie's neck, teasing her neck with his teeth on the other, and slammed his hips into hers. Sophie clawed at his back with every deep thrust, her gasps stuttering over each with with every snap of his hips. That beautiful fire of pleasure and bliss was quickly building in the deepest pit of Sophie's stomach.

"Cortez.." Sophie spoke through breathy pants. "Cortez, I-I'm close.. Right there. Please.."

Cortez groaned, the lewd sound of Sophie's voice building him up to his own orgasm. He could already tell just how close Sophie was by the way her walls clenched around his length every time he moved inside of her. He coached her orgasm closer and closer with perfectly timed thrusts until Sophie was crying out his name and begging for release.

"Yes, Cortez! Ohh, Yes!" Sophie cried with euphoria.

Cortez raised his head and found her beautiful green eyes as he rocked into her, fast and deep. "That's it, Sophie. Say my name, baby. Tell me you love me."

"I love you, Cortez. I love you. I love you so much." Sophie panted and moaned as she tipped over the edge.

As Sophie's orgasm washed through her, Cortez was quick to sink his teeth into her neck and listened as she loudly gasped. The amount of pleasure was blinding, taking over Sophie's entire body until she was trembling beneath Cortez. She didn't even realize that her claws were buried in Cortez's back as her orgasm took front and center of the show. Cortez didn't mind. Feeling her come around his length was throwing him into his own orgasm.

Cortez thrusted into Sophie a couple last times, simultaneously letting her ride out her climax, as he approached his own. He pulled his canines from her skin at the same time that he pulled out of her, pumping his length that was covered in Sophie's juices. Sophie propped herself up on her elbows to see Cortez come all over her stomach. A groan erupted from his chest and caused Sophie to smile. He sounded hot. She loved it.

"Look at me." Sophie whispered. Cortez obeyed, his jaw visibly tensing as he rode out his orgasm and stared into her eyes. She enjoyed watching Cortez orgasm way more than she imagined. "That felt good, didn't it, baby?"

Sophie grabbed the back of Cortez's neck, pulling him closer so she could drag her tongue over the mark on his neck. Another throaty moan poured from Cortez as he slowed his hand over his cock. A shiver ran up his spine at the feeling of Sophie attack his mark in wet kisses. His high had faded but, when she touched him and kissed him like that, it felt like it was still lingering.

"You're so perfect, Sophie. I love you so much. You drive me absolutely crazy." Cortez purred.

Sophie giggled, finding his ear and gently nibbling on it. She was on cloud nine. There was nothing bad in the world. Just her, Cortez, and all the happiness and pleasure they could give to each other. She didn't want to stop. Even though she already came twice and Cortez finished on her stomach, she was ready for more. Her heat may have passed but it still left behind the undeniable hunger she would feel from now on.

❗️Resume❗️

"I could do this with you all day." Sophie purred as she dragged her hands over Cortez's broad shoulders. His skin ran hot and there was the slightest bit of sweat coating his flesh.

"I didn't hurt you?" Cortez asked. He was finally coming to his senses again. He was hoping he made love to her correctly. "Are you alright? How do you feel?"

"I'm fine. I feel on top of the world." Sophie grinned from ear to ear as she stared into Cortez's eyes.

"You're not upset with me?" Cortez's eyes never strayed from hers. He studied every glint and shimmer that passed through them.

"Upset? Why would I be upset?" Sophie jutted her bottom lip out in a pout and relaxed against the bed.

Cortez marveled at how beautiful she looked laid back like that. Her short hair was a mess all around her, a beautiful glow radiating off of her, likely from the sweat but there was a sense of joy there, and her small breasts looked beautiful gently heaving as she breathed. And right there on her neck, a mark. He was completely in love with every aspect of Sophie. She was perfect.

"Well, for starters, we came in here yelling at each other. I feel like that was a bad way of ending up.. here." Cortez's jaw visibly tightened as he examined Sophie's naked body. His eyes caught sight of his cum sat idly on her soft skin and he frowned. "And I made a mess all over you."

"I don't mind the mess." Sophie took her finger and wiped some of Cortez's cum off her stomach, bringing it into her mouth and sucking the substance off her finger.

Cortez watched her do it, her cheeks hollowing before she pulled her finger out of her mouth. The appendage was completely clean and glistened only from her spit. His mouth was hung open the entire time. His comically dramatic expression made Sophie giggle. He was completely mesmerized by her and everything she did and it amused her.

"And to think we could've been having all this fun last night." Sophie purred as she cupped Cortez's face to kiss him.

Cortez fell into her spell as Sophie kissed him slowly and with so much love. He felt guilty again. What else was new? The hint of guilt caused him to pull away and reach for his shirt that laid beside them. He used the fabric to wipe Sophie's stomach clean of any evidence of his orgasm. Tossing the fabric aside, Cortez laid beside Sophie and pulled her into him.

"I truly am sorry, Sophie." He muttered weakly. His dark gaze locked with Sophie's very light gaze. "I was only trying to make the right decision. I figured you wouldn't..."

"I know." Sophie cut Cortez off as she nodded. She combed her fingers through the scruff of his light beard as she stared at him. "I was angry before. It was clouding the part of me that could have an understanding conversation. But I understand now."

"So, I made the right decision, right?" Cortez asked, so much hope lacing his voice.

Sophie nibbled on her bottom lip as she stared at him. It took a little too long for Sophie to answer and Cortez groaned, burying his head in her neck as he pulled her desperately closer to him. Her silence was enough of an answer. Hell, her contorted expression was enough of an answer. It broke his heart. He hated always letting her down.

"You didn't make the wrong decision, exactly." Sophie said. She began combing her fingers through Cortez's hair as she contemplated what words to use. "You just didn't make the decision that I wanted. I understand why you did what you did. You were trying to be considerate of my human background and mindset, but..."

Cortez pulled away with his eyebrows tightly furrowed together. "But, what?"

"Well, I'm not human anymore, Cortez. When I said that things are different now, I meant that. You don't have to worry about living by human standards because we're not apart of that world. It's all different now. You know what I mean?"

Cortez slowly began to nod. "So.. You wouldn't have been angry that I took advantage of you?"

Sophie chuckled. "You wouldn't have been taking advantage of me, that's what I'm trying to tell you. When a wolf is in heat, they have sex, and it's over. That's how you do things here. So, why should you treat me any differently?"

Cortez sighed in defeat. She had a point. "I was just trying to.. After your grandfather and everything.."

"I know. You were being considerate and I'm so lucky to have a mate like that. Just.. Promise me you won't treat me like I'm human, okay? I wasn't, at all, thinking about my grandfather last night. I just needed you." Sophie stared into Cortez's eyes.

Cortez finally nodded and Sophie smiled, planting a fleeting kiss on Cortez's lips. Sophie got up and hugged her arms around her chest as she skipped towards the bathroom. Cortez admired her as she did so before the bathroom door shut behind her.

Cortez knew she was right. Partially, at least. He didn't want to pounce on Sophie's heat when she wasn't ready, but she was. She was a wolf. She had left behind her human life, for the most part, and was conditioning herself one step at a time to be apart of this world. Cortez was just walking a whole lot slower than she was, just to make sure.

Now, all he had to do was figure out how to walk with her and not step on hers toes along the way. Sophie was the Luna of this pack, after all. She would be making a lot of decisions and adapting o all of this very quickly. But Sophie was his mate, she was young, and naive to this lifestyle. He couldn't help but want to help every step of the way. But by Sophie's request, he'd have to restrain from doing so.

"Where did you go?" Sophie smiled as she waved her hand in front of Cortez's face to bring him back to earth, one arm still wrapped around her exposed chest.

Cortez's eyes found Sophie as his thoughts subsided for a moment. He didn't even know she had walked out of the bathroom. Sophie climbed into bed and tangled herself around Cortez again. "I was just thinking.."

"About?" Sophie let out a heavy sigh, feeling her muscles relax and worries float away as she reveled in Cortez's warmth.

"I don't want to keep disappointing you." Cortez spoke seriously as he rested his head atop hers, his fingers gliding lazily up and down Sophie's spine.

"You're not, Cortez! You're really not!" Sophie gently pushed his chest, slightly angry that he had convinced himself of that.

"I'm used to being perfect, Sophie. I run an entire pack, you know. Every decision I make is for them. And with you, I feel like I'm trying extra hard and it's not working. There is no room for imperfection. My parents drilled that into my head all my life and still, I can't manage to be perfect for you."

"So, stop." Cortez moved to look into Sophie's eyes. He was shocked at her sudden command. "Stop trying to be perfect for me. I don't you to be perfect, I don't want you to be my Alpha, I just want you. Give me all you flaws."

Cortez fought a smile. "That's a big ask, Angel."

Sophie happily beamed. "But it's all I'll ever ask of you."

"I love you, Sophie." Cortez whispered.

"I love you, Cortez." Sophie whispered back and nuzzled into Cortez's chest for warmth. She was already tired and sleep was fast approaching.
