Embry's POV -

Okay so maybe I was a little over eager to get in that bedroom and see the rest of the sexy lingerie Nicolle had on under that dress. I may have stood outside the door for the last five minutes so I'd be ready when she called for me. I knew she had the lights off and I could smell the sweet vanilla scent of candles burning. I could tell she wanted to make this special. I just hoped I wouldn't let her down.

"I'm ready," she called out quietly from the other side of the door.

My stomach twisted in excitement and anticipation. I turned the doorknob slowly and set my sights on the beautiful girl perched at the foot of my bed. I took my time making my way to her, savoring every moment and just drinking in the sight of her.

"Hi," I sighed as I knelt at her feet. "This..." I paused to slide my hands up her calves, "is amazing. You look incredible."

When she lifted her hands to my face, I couldn't help but notice how badly they were shaky. "I'm so nervous," Nicolle admitted softly.

I slipped my fingers under the straps holding her stockings up. She shuddered when I pulled on them and let them snap against her skin. She laughed and I could feel her relaxing. I watched her face as I stood and pushed my suit coat off my shoulders. Nicolle tugged on my tie, slipping it off from around my collar. When I began to reach for the buttons of my dress shirt, she brushed my fingers away. "Let me," she insisted with a sly grin on her face.

She blew out a shaky breath as she stood before me. "You are really beautiful, Embry," she sighed as she shoved my shirt from my shoulders and let it fall to the floor. I could do nothing but smile as her delicate fingers grazed my chest and made circles around my nipples, even pausing to scratch the hardened tips with her thumbnail. I sucked in a quick breath, even shocking myself at how much I was enjoying this.

Since that first night on the couch, Nicolle had backed away from physical intimacy quite a bit. She felt guilty for jumping into that type of relationship so quickly. I had agreed to take it more slowly and give her time to adjust. The times we had been physical had been more rushed, more caught up in the moment. My whole body tingled at the thought of taking possession of her slowly without the worry that she might change her mind. She initiated this. She wanted me.

I lowered my head to kiss her when she began fumbling with my belt. Even though I had wanted this for so long, I wanted to take my time and savor every second. I was a little surprised when she undid my pants and sent them to the floor with my boxer briefs. I guess she wasn't wanting to take her time at all.

I stepped back a little, wanting to take in the view in front of me. "Turn around," I urged, not so gently. My desire had my voice sounding a little desperate.

Nicolle nibbled the corner of her mouth before turning to show me her backside. Her lower ass cheeks were barely covered and I just had to touch her there. "This looks so good on you..." I basically moaned. "How do I get it off?"

Nicolle burst out in a nervous giggle before spinning back to face me. "You don't need to take it off," she sighed, cocking her head from side to side.

My brow furrowed deeply when I began to wonder if this outfit was my only treat tonight. "You mean, we aren't? I thought...well you said we would...shit, honey," I sputtered like an idiot.

She laughed again and held my shoulders in her hands. "Calm down. I just meant that..." she paused and slid her fingers down my arm, gripping my hand and guiding between her legs. "It's easier if I just show you."

I groaned when my hand felt how warm and wet she was with no barrier between us. This lacy, white contraption had no crotch and I was loving it. I pressed my fingers a little deeper, noticing the way her breath hitched. I guided her back, supporting her lower back as I scooted us to the center of the bed. I gazed down at her as I held my body above hers, observing her panting breaths, rosy cheeks, and clenched fists. She was anxious but nervous, so I set about finding a way to calm her down.

With no warning, I lowered my face between her thighs, spreading her body open to me with my hands pressing her knees apart. "Embry," Nicolle gasped when I ran my tongue up the seam of her sex, settling on my stomach and curling my arms around her thighs. "Yes...that," she cried when my tongue circled her clit and I slid a finger inside.

I glanced up at her, finding her fighting to keep her eyes open to focus on me. Her fingers drifted to my hair, gripping the ends painfully as she drew me closer. I put more pressure on her clit, driving her harder and closer to climax. When her thighs started to shake and close around my head, I held her down forcefully and gave every bit of myself. I curled my fingers inside, reaching for that spot I knew would blow her mind.

Her whole body began to tremble and I smiled against her skin when she tumbled over the edge. She called my name reverently, sending my ego through the ceiling. I eased my body up from my spot between her legs so I could hover over her and catch her sated expression.

Her eyes were screwed shut, mouth gaping open and gasping for the next breath. "Oh, Embry, baby that was... so good."

I chuckled to myself, feeling so proud of the way I had made her feel. When she reached for me, pulling my body tightly to hers, I tensed. I was so close to being inside her that I could feel her heat warming my aching erection. "I want you," I moaned when she dragged her nails down my back and tried to pull me even closer.

Nicolle smiled up at me and fluttered her lashes adorably. "Then take me, Embry. I'm so ready." Her words sounded more confident than her voice did just then.

"You're sure?" I rocked back on my heels, taking a moment to collect myself. My body was ready to ram into her but my head knew better. When she nodded, I told her, "I have condoms..."

She shook her head and leaned forward, wrapping her fingers around me. "We don't need them. I've been on something for a while now. And I'm sorry you've had to wait so long, but..."

I cut off her speech with my thumb pressed to her lips. "Don't apologize for that. Tomorrow will be one year since the day I walked into that book store and laid eyes on you. So it feels like forever for me, but you didn't know. You didn't feel what I felt since that day. It's that powerful. It has made me so crazy with want for you. But never say sorry for not being ready. I'd hate myself if you'd just agreed to keep me happy. There was nothing wrong with waiting. Regardless of how much of an ass I've been about it."

Nicolle laughed as she released her grip on me and held my face instead. "I love you so much, Embry. I love the life we have together. And I want this...I want you so much."

I nodded quickly, swallowing back a lump in my throat as I eased myself back on top of her. "I'm gonna let you take control, honey. I love you too and I don't want to hurt you."

Nicolle pressed her lips to mine, opening up to me with her tongue swirling around mine. My back arched when she gripped me again, rubbing the tip up and down her already soaked folds. She shuddered when I came in contact with her swollen, sensitive nub. I broke off the kiss so I could watch her expression when I entered her. She positioned me where I needed to be, released me and let her hands on my ass draw me in.

I moved as slow as humanly possible, only pressing in the head at first, even though Nicolle thought she could handle more. I froze when her eyes squeezed shut and she hissed. I could feel her stretching around me and although it felt so fucking good to me, I knew it had to be killing her. "I'm sorry," she whispered as a lone tear slid down her cheek. "I didn't think it would hurt this much."

"Let's stop then," I urged as I began to ease back. "We don't have to...."

"Don't you dare stop," she whimpered, tilting her hips a bit and spreading her thighs a touch wider. "That's better," she sighed after a moment had passed.

I watched her face as I pushed a little deeper, loving that she was displaying more pleasure than pain. Tiny squeaks of excitement tumbled from her mouth right along with my moans from months of pent up desire. "Talk to me, Embry," she gasped when I eased back out and in again slowly.

I had to talk now? Shit. I was barely hanging on. I was trying so hard not to really hurt her but I'd be damned if I could deny her anything at this point. She could have asked me for the world and I would have done anything to make it happen.

I moved a little faster now, easy thrusts that had her mouth twisted up in a little smile. "You feel so good, honey. You're so wet. I love watching the way you react to me."

Nicolle nodded and hummed in satisfaction. She pushed on my chest, causing me to put all my weight on my knees while never breaking our connection. "I wanna watch you slide inside me," she breathed before nibbling on the corner of her mouth.

I smiled as she pulled herself up onto her elbows and gazed down between us. I gripped her hips and guided myself in and out of her as she watched us and I watched her. "See how wet you are...how hard I am?" I panted.

It was so erotic, the way she reacted to my words and couldn't take her eyes off where our bodies were joined togther. I found myself rocking faster, getting more excited the longer she stared. Her head fell back and her legs tightened around me. Her brow furrowed deeply and I could sense how close she was. She let her whole body drop back onto the bed when rubbed my thumb against the side of her clit in the way I knew would help get her there.

It was purely selfish on my part, because I couldn't wait to feel her throbbing all around me. And boy did she not disappoint. "Fuck," I pushed out between my clenched teeth when her whole body started to seize. I could feel her walls constricting me so tightly as her hips began bucking up to meet mine.

The whole room filled with her cries as her climax came in waves. I would never get tired of her repeating my name as she came. Never. It was the best thing I had ever heard.

I slowed my thrusts as she rode out the rest of her orgasm, finally collapsing on top of her once more. "That was amazing," I panted.

Her eyes opened slowly. "You didn't come yet," she gasped, still trying to catch her breath.

"Oh, I'm not done with you yet," I promised as my mouth found her lace-covered nipples and I couldn't help but suck it between my teeth. Nicolle yelped playfully before easing the fabric over her skin and baring her breasts to me completely.

I feasted on those puckered buds until I heard her whisper, "I wanna be on top."

I raised my head slowly and found my girl's eyes wide with wonder. "You do?" I gulped. "It'll probably hurt."

Nicolle pressed a kiss to my lips before pushing me back and shifting our position so that I was now under her. I held her hips posessively as she gripped me and let her body sink down. "Oh," she gasped. "This feels different."

I nodded in agreement, barely able to form a coherent thought. I could feel myself slipping deeper inside with every move she made. Once I was fully sheathed, she pressed her flattened palms to my chest and began barely rocking her hips. The sensations were amazing. "You're in total control of me, honey. I'm completely yours to do anything you want with me," I gasped out when she began lifting her hips and sinking down over and over as slowly as possible.

Her confidence grew with each thrust. Soon we were grinding pelvis to pelvis as she was working up to her next orgasm. I reached around to cup her ass with both hands, pulling her against me and helping make each thrust even tighter. She was teetering on the edge, I could feel it.

When I spread my legs and began thrusting deeper, her head snapped back and her nails clawed my chest. "Embry!" she cried loudly, making me happy we had no close-by neighbors.

I moved faster inside her, unable to stop my hips from snapping up to meet hers. Her whole body was shaking and when she fell forward and kissed me, I lost all control. I rolled us over and pounded her hard before my body tensed and exploded. Nicolle moaned under me as I thrusted faster and rode my climax all the way to the end. I called her name until my voice went hoarse and I couldn't hear myself anymore.

I lowered my body onto hers, still jerking and twitching inside her as she soothed me with her fingers gently gliding up and down my back. I could feel myself melting against her, sinking deeper into oblivion, but when I tried to lift my body from hers, she held me tightly. "Just stay right here," she sighed, kissing my forehead and finally my mouth when I was able to raise my head again.

It never felt this way before. I never felt so sated and perfect as I did right then when she kissed me and touched me so gently. "I love you, honey. I love you so much," I gushed all in one breath.

When I looked into her eyes and saw tears brimming, my stomach twisted in fear. "I was too rough. Fuck, why didn't you make me stop?" I cursed to myself more than her.

Nicolle shook her head quickly as the tears fell. "No. I'm okay. You didn't hurt me. I just finally understand why you wanted this so much. I can't believe how close I feel to you right now."

I sighed a deep sigh of relief as I eased out of her and shifted to lie next to her. I pulled her so close to me and held her tightly, not wanting to ever let go. We held each other like that until our breathing evened out and extreme exhaustion overtook us both.

....

The next few days were amazing. Nicolle grew more confident. She wanted me to teach her everything about sex. And I was only too happy to help.

"What is all this?" she gasped.

I spun around to find her standing at the back door, watching me set up chairs around the bonfire. "You're home early," I sighed as I made my way over to her. "You didn't call me for a ride."

Nicolle leaned down from the top step and I pulled her into my arms. I spun her around twice, hugging her tightly and finally letting myself relax. It only felt like home when she was here with me. "I missed you," I murmured against her neck as she laughed.

"Are we having a party?" she mused when I set her back down and she looked all around the back yard.

I nodded and smiled. "It's nothing big, just the pack and their imprints. I thought I'd make up for being such an ass at the wedding the other night. I still didn't introduce you to everyone."

"Everyone?" Nicolle echoed, her face etched with worry.

"Not Brady and Casey," I informed her as we stepped back inside and I began gathering food from the kitchen. "They are still on their honeymoon. You're not still mad about the whole Casey thing, are you?"

Nicolle shrugged. "I guess I'll have to get used to her being around us. With the pack and all."

I pulled her into my arms and held her face in my hands. "You know you mean everything to me, don't you?"

"Yes."

"And you have nothing to worry about from Casey. She's happy with Brady and I'm deliriously happy with you," I emphasized with a kiss to her neck.

Nicolle laughed as I held her tightly. "I'm so happy with you, Embry. I love you."

I pressed my lips to hers, needing to show her my love, not just say it. I kissed her hard and passionately until I remembered I still had so much to do. "I love you, honey. Now stop distracting me and go get changed for the party," I demanded playfully, swatting her ass when she walked away.

A few hours later, I gazed around the backyard and grinned. All my packmates and their significant others in one place and having a blast. Nicolle was getting along nicely with the other girls and I loved seeing that smile on her face. "Having fun?" I asked when she slid up next to me.

"I am now," she beamed.

"I'm glad," I beamed back, throwing my arm around her shoulder. "I wanna make a little speech and then we can get back to the party."

"Speech?" she echoed as I pulled her along behind me.

I sat her down in a chair where everyone could see us and I got down on one knee. I could hear people murmuring all around us. Jared and Kim were the only ones who knew I was going to do this. "Nicolle..." I began as I pulled a small velvet box from my pocket.

Nicolle held her hands in front of her mouth as she gasped loudly. "Embry...what did you do?"

I sucked in a deep breath and steeled myself for whatever answer I was going to get. "Nicolle, I know our love story is not a conventional one. We were brought together by circumstance and a near tragedy. That night in the book store when I almost lost you, I thought we had missed our chance. And I know I've made so many mistakes along the way, but I'm hoping you'll do me the honor of becoming my wife so we can spend the rest of our lives together. I love you so much, honey and I always will."

Tears were already streaming down her cheeks when I opened the box and showed her the ring inside. She gasped when she saw it and a huge smile spread across her face. "It's beautiful, Embry. Just like you."

The guys scoffed but I didn't care. As long as Nicolle wanted to marry me, she could call me beautiful all day long. "So?" I urged as I slipped the ring from its box and held it up for her approval. "Will you marry me?"

Nicolle held out her finger and nodded her head. "Yes! I'll marry you!"

Everything after that was a blur, the cheers, the toasts, the hugs, everything. The only thing that mattered was the girl in my arms and that ring on her finger.

We got our happy ending.

The End

A/N: I hope you enjoyed my little story about Embry. He's one of my favorite wolves, but I had never written a story for just him before. I wrote this for Nicolle. I hope you liked it ❤
