Sarise slowly opened her eyes, smiling at the tattooed arms that were wrapped around her and looked over her shoulder to see Jacob was still sleeping.
She smiled, closing her eyes and snuggling back into him, hearing him grunt lightly as she felt a warm thickness pressing into her back.
She moved forward slightly, looking over her shoulder to see him yawn before he opened his eyes.
"Morning." She smiled, sighing as he reached forward to peck her on the shoulder.
"Morning." He replied, one hand coming up to run down his face before he glanced over his shoulder at the alarm clock on the beside.
"Early." He added, turning back to her and closing his eyes as he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her against his chest.
She shuddered at the feel of him against her back, feeling the sparks his touch set off vibrating through her, down to her core.
"Sarise." Jacob growled lightly from behind her.
"What?"
"You're scenting." He answered in a husky voice and she moved away from him slightly, looking over her shoulder at him again.
"How would I know I'm scenting." She snapped lightly, frowning at him. "I can't exactly smell it now can I."
Jacob closed his eyes and he took a deep breath, his chest rumbling as his wolf let out a low growl.
When he opened them, they blazed lavender and Sarise gasped, feeling heat rushing to her core as she realised his wolf was trying to push forward and take control.
"Sarise." He groaned, pulling her onto her back and coming over her, claiming her mouth with his.
Sarise moaned, wrapping her arms around Jacob's neck and pulling her to him as his tongue pushed into her mouth, wrestling with her own.
She wrapped her legs around his waist, feeling his hands run possessively down her thighs before he broke away.
"Fuck!" He growled, pushing himself off her and breathing slowly above her, his eyes still blazing lavender.
Sarise rolled her hips seductively against the erection he had been sporting since she woke up, biting her lip and Jacob growled; pushing her legs from his waist and climbing off the bed quickly as he ran his hand through his hair.
"You're still scenting." He groaned, taking a deep breath and turning to look at her. His eyes had lost some of their intensity as he took another slow breath.
"It's not like I'd know that." She snapped, climbing out of the bed and poking him in the chest as she spoke. "You know you ruined a perfectly good morning."
"Did I now." Jacob grumped, reaching up to run his hand through his hair, his muscles flexing as he did.
Sarise bit her lip, trying to suppress the fire that burnt through to her core and Jacob's head snapped around, his eyes blazing lavender again.
Without warning he threw her back onto the bed, coming over her and once again claiming her mouth with his.
Sarise groaned as he pushed his tongue into her mouth, using her own to massage his before he broke away.
"Goddess that smell." He breathed, nuzzling her neck and nipping at the base.
He pushed himself off her again, stepping back; his eyes going from light green to lavender as he wrestled to get his wolf under control.
"I need to go." He said quickly, walking from the bed towards the bathroom as Sarise jumped up to sit on the edge.
"Jacob!" Sarise yelled and he stopped, turning to look at her. "Have I done something wrong?" She added in a small voice and Jacob shook his head, walking across the room and taking her head in his hands.
"No." He whispered, pressing his forehead to hers. "But I'm hanging on by a thread here and that smell..." He took a slow breath, his eyes flashing lavender again.
"I can't be around you when you're scenting." He breathed, pulling away from her and smiling sadly before he walked to the bathroom and closed the door behind him.
Sarise fell back onto the bed, huffing in frustration before grabbing the pillow and putting it over her face, screaming into it.
*꙲꙲ ꙲꙲*꙲꙲ ꙲꙲*꙲꙲
Sarise lay on the bed, shoving crisps into her mouth as she listened to the voice on the other end of the phone tell her about her heat.
Jacob was going to lose it when he found out she'd eaten in the bed but she didn't care right now.
"How long does it last?" Sarise asked, pulling out another crisp and looking at it before throwing it into her mouth as she rolled onto her back.
"A few days." Amelia answered down the phone. "So, it is true?"
"What?"
"Is Jacob really a sexual delinquent?" Amelia asked. Sarise frowned.
"Meaning?" She asked and Amelia paused, noting the tone her Sarise's voice.
"Hun you know I'm your best friend." Amelia said lightly. "I've always got your back."
"I know."
"But there are rumours about his sexual proclivity." Amelia added. "Noah mentioned that if the mood struck him Jacob could go through several women in one night and still not be sated."
"I wouldn't know." Sarise growled. "I've been here nearly a month and we still haven't done it. Do you have any idea how frustrated I am?" Amelia laughed. "Honestly Mel. I don't think I've ever had to work this hard to get a guy to fuck me."
"Have you done anything?" She asked and Sarise growled lightly.
"A whole bunch of dry humping. I agreed to move into his room thinking it would speed things up." She answered, hearing Amelia laugh. "Yeah lap up how sexually frustrated I am." She sighed lightly.
"And now he's avoiding me coz I'm on heat."
"Well it's probably a good thing." Amelia pointed out. "You're on heat, which means if you did anything you'd get with pup." Sarise sat up quickly.
"Shit I hadn't thought of that." She breathed. "I just wanted him to have his dirty way with me and take me to pound town."
"You're disgusting." Amelia chuckled "Other than the lack of sex, everything else okay? You've managed to keep that temper of yours in check?" Amelia asked and Sarise laughed.
"Jacob has a bloody temper as well you know." Sarise laughed, grabbing another crisp and throwing it in her mouth. "Jackass was in fine form this morning when he flew off the handle. Sometime I swear I'm gonna kick him in the nuts!"
"He's an Alpha love, of course he has a temper." Amelia responded, laughing down the phone. "Has he spoken to you about the meeting he had in the Royal Pack?"
"Is he meant to?" Sarise asked, throwing another crisp in her mouth.
"He may need your help." Amelia answered. "Noah has asked him to look into something, but I fear it's even a stretch for Jacob."
"What has he asked..." Sarise started and she heard Amelia laugh.
"I suggest talking to Jacob." Amelia answered, going silent for a moment. "Sar I gotta go."
"Yep go it, duty calls." Sarise answered then laughed. "Unless all this sex talk has gotten you railed up and you're gonna get Noah to take you to pound town."
"Sarise!" Amelia laughed.
"I don't wanna hear about it by the way." Sarise added, throwing another crisp in her mouth. "I'm already jealous that you're getting more than me."
"I'm going!" Amelia laughed. "Catch up soon. Love you."
"Love you too." Sarise answered, pulling the phone from her ear and ending the call.
She fell back onto the bed, wondering what Noah had asked Jacob to do. Curiosity told her she should find Jacob and grill him for information, yet logic told her to stay in her room.
Early that morning when she had ventured down for breakfast, she had drawn the unwanted attention of nearly every unmated male in the mansion and the wrath of Jacob.
He'd instantly demanded she return to their room, telling her that her meals would be brought up to her and that she was to stay in the rooms for the day.
The demand had resulted in an argument that had resounded through the house as Jacob all but dragged her back to their room, an argument that had drawn nearly every worker out to watch.
Sarise had rung Amelia to try and understand why Jacob was acting the way he was, given Amelia had known him longer; but her best friend hadn't been able to provide her any useful information.
She growled, falling back onto the bed and throwing a crisp in the air, catching it in her mouth and chewing it angrily.
"You're eating in the bed?" A voice asked from the door and Sarise turned her head to see Jacob walking into the room.
"Yep!" She snapped, grabbing a handful of crisps and shoving them in her mouth, chewing them messily and purposely dropping crumbs on the bed.
"Where else am I supposed to eat them?" She demanded.
"Don't eat with your mouth full." Jacob chided as he walked towards the bed.
"Bite me!" Sarise snapped, sitting up.
"Don't tempt me!" Jacob growled when he reached the bed, eyes flashing lavender.
"You here to check on your prisoner?" She demanded, grabbing another crisp; throwing it in her mouth.
"I think you've had enough of these." Jacob snapped, grabbing the packet of crisps. Sarise jumped up, going to grab them from him.
"Give them back!" She snapped before folding her arms across her breast. "Or do you plan to starve me too!"
"It's one fucken day!" Jacob snapped at her, throwing the packet across the room, crisps flying from it and spreading across the carpet.
"Oh, look now you've made a mess." Sarise mockingly pointed out, rolling her eyes at his tantrum.
Suddenly she was thrown on the bed, Jacob coming over her as he pinned her wrists down.
"Eye rolling." He growled lightly.
"Temper, temper." She snapped up at him, trying to pull her hands from him. "Let me..."
She never got to finish her sentence as he lips claimed her, hungry and demanding as he ground against her. Sarise moaned, parting her lips and letting his tongue slid into her mouth.
He slid his hands down her arms, running one down her side and up her top as the other supported his weight.
Sarise gasped when his hand touched her, his touch causing sparks to dance across her bare skin.
She pushed against him, wrapping a leg around him and pulling him closer; yet he broke away, panting for breath as his eyes blazed lavender.
"Goddess, all day all I've smelt is the scent of your heat." He growled lightly, running his lips down her neck and nipping at her shoulder. "It's driving me insane."
"So, you lock me away like some dirty secret?" She demanded and he frowned at her.
"I asked you to stay up here for your own safety." He answered, pushing himself off her and standing. "Your heat is drawing the attention of every unmated male in the mansion and the attention of one extremely horny Alpha."
Sarise sat up and her mouth dropping open at his comment. She knew that her heat was making her as horny as hell, yet she didn't realise the affect it was having on the normally cool-headed man before her.
"You're safer up here today." Jacob stated, reaching forward and giving her a kiss.
The light peck turned into a more passionate kiss as he took her face in his hand, pulling her to him. He growled, pulling away and pressing his forehead to hers.
"I'll have Marie come and clean up the crisps." He said lightly, taking a step back. "Is there anything you need?" Sarise went to answer him when his eyes darkened.
"Anything but that!" He added and Sarise huffed.
"Nope." She answered, waving her hand dismissively at him and falling onto her back. "You can go."
"Dammit Sarise you've the shittest attitude. You need put over my lap and..." Jacob growled, trailing off and she looked up, seeing his eyes blazing lavender. "Once your heat is finished, I swear to the goddess you're not going to be able to walk for days as punishment for that smart mouth of yours."
"Is that a threat?" She snorted and Jacob laughed, turning and walking to the door, pulling it open.
"No love it's a promise." He called, walking from the room.
Sarise turned to watch him leave, shuddering in delight and heard Jacob growl, a growl that resounded through the house and she chuckled. It was nice to know she was having this effect on him.
