A Savage Meeting – Pt. 5 – Checkmate – Finale

“You’re beautiful!” Caleb exclaimed as he smoothed the fur back over Kaya’s head. Her tail wagged faster and she leaned back on her hind legs and licked him from chin to forehead. He laughed as she smothered him in kisses while he fell to the ground. “It’s great to see you too,” he spoke between licks before gently pushing her away and climbing to his feet.

Slowly his gaze moved from her towards the scowling Alpha standing in front of him. “Sir,” he started, moistening his lips to clear himself of the sudden dry mouth. “I know we may have gotten off to a bad start, but I’d like you to know how truly sorry I am for my behavior.”

“Oh! Suddenly, you’ve learned manners? Or have you finally remembered your place?”

“Armand, he’s trying to make amends,” Kaelani reasoned.

“No, he’s trying to get my blessing to mate with my daughter.”

“Our daughter. And I don’t see the harm in that.” Kaelani knelt beside the two wolves who both automatically took seating positions in front of her. “The wolf knows what it wants; you should know that more than anyone. And it’s perfectly clear as to Kaya’s choice.”

“It doesn’t change what he is! Wild; untamable and unpredictable.” He took a step forward and Kaya growled, the hairs on her back ruffling as she glared at her father. Lobo growled once and the wolf instantly cowered at his feet. “You’re right,” he snarled looking back towards his wife, “She is your daughter. As for you, young man, I think you and I need to have a talk,” Lobo motioned for Caleb to follow him, shutting the door behind them. Slowly the wolves began shifting back into their human forms. Kaelani held her daughter comfortingly as their sad eyes met. Neither knowing what to expect next.

Kaya dressed and headed to her room per her Mother’s instructions. Silence droned in her ears while she waited to hear Caleb’s fate. Although she hadn’t heard any death screams, it made her hopeful the two reached a peaceful resolution. But Lobo was smart. He knew killing the son of a wild wolf Alpha would be an immediate act of war. He could have just as easily threatened him and sent him on his way which meant Kaya would probably never see him again. Turning on the music beside her bed, she tried to get her mind off of it. She and Connor had just had their first transition. They’d officially become members of the pack. She should be smiling right now and floating on cloud nine. Not feeling as though her world had come to an end.

“Kaya?” Lobo knocked and leaned against the bedroom door. “It’s Daddy. May I come in?”

“No! Go away!”

“Kaya, sweetheart, I need to talk to you. I want to explain my actions from before.”

“I don’t care. I have nothing to say to you!” she yelled back through the door.

“Please, Babygirl, it’s something you need to hear.” It was silent briefly. And then, Lobo heard the sound of feet shuffling across the hardwood floor towards him. Moments later, the door cracked open and he smiled at Kaya as she stepped back to let him inside.

“Five minutes, and then I’m calling Mom to come and kick you out.”

“You won’t need her. And trust me, after the way she just chastised me, I don’t want to get on her bad side again,” he joked as he took a seat on the edge of her bed.

“What do you want to talk about?” she huffed and threw herself beside him.

“Kaya, I need you to understand, my reactions to that wild wolf comes from a long history of his kind and what they are capable of. They are lawless animals that pillage and wreak havoc in the lives of everyone they meet. Now I’m sorry if I hurt you, but seeing you with him…quite frankly it scared me.”

“But Caleb is not like that! He’s compassionate and sweet and really cares about me.”

“I recognize your feelings for that wolf, Kaya. But I also see that you’re speaking from a position of rose-colored glasses because of your infatuation.”

“And you’re speaking from a position of anger and hatred! It’s not an infatuation. Caleb and I were meant to be together. And your prejudice against his kind is blinding you to who he really is!”

“It’s not just other wild wolves, Kaya. Caleb’s family and I also have a history that goes back quite a ways.”

“But they’re not all bad, Dad. I mean if you looked deep enough in our ‘civilized’ community, you’d find more than a couple of bad apples.”

“I know, Kaya. But you gotta understand, it was a different time back then. And it’s something that I grew up around and even long into adulthood had to deal with. It’s hard letting go of the past and all of that bad blood,” he reasoned. Kaya nodded and pulled her legs into her chest. “But it doesn’t mean I’m not willing to try.”

“Dad, I just had my transition; my wolf found her mate, her true mate! This should be the happiest day of my life!”

“Ironically, the happiest day for you is the saddest for me. Today just signifies that you’re growing up and no longer need your Daddy.”

“Dad, I’ll always need you,” she cheerfully confessed and leaned against his arm. “But you knew the day would come when I’d meet someone and move out.”

“I know. I just didn’t expect it would be so soon.”

“Soon? I’m 23!”

“Like I said,” he smiled. Anxiously, he rubbed the back of his neck, dreading the conversation that was to follow but pressing forward to rip off the bandage. “Kaya, I need you to be honest with me. How often have you met with this wolf?”

“I don’t know,” she shrugged and pulled at the threads of the blanket. “Just a few times.”

“Where?”

“Where?” she repeated with an innocent tone to her voice.

“You know what I’m asking, Kaya, don’t play dumb.”

“We didn’t go to Shadowvale, Daddy. We always met at a park or something, away from his territory.”

“Good.” Lobo replied as he stood from the bed.

“So…I guess I’ll never see him again?”

“Why do you say that?”

“Because you said that you have a history with his family. And I know your temper, Daddy. That means it’s probably gonna be like Wolf War 3 if he ever shows his face around here again.”

Lobo laughed and leaned against the door, smiling at the serious expression on his daughter’s face. “Oh no, Kaya, tell me what you really think of your old man.”

“I love you, Daddy, I do. But you’ve scared off every guy I ever had even a hint of feelings for. It’s kind of your M.O.”

“Well I’d like to think I’m getting better, thanks to your Mother. And the fact that that wolf of yours is still breathing and standing in our living room should be proof of that.”

Kaya jumped up from the bed and made it to the door in one leap. Hopping excitedly in front of her father like a child on Christmas morning. “He’s still here?” Lobo quickly moved away from the door and watched as she rushed from the room, taking the stairs nearly triple time.

Caleb smiled widely when she reached the bottom step and pounced into his arms without so much as touching the floor. Catching her against his chest, his smile broke into laughter and he swung her around, hugging her just as tightly as she him. “So I take it the talk went well?”  

“Well you caught me, which means your limbs are still intact.”

“True,” he beamed, and moaned against her lips as she quickly pressed her mouth against his. Kaya’s feet finally touched down as Caleb slowly lowered her to the floor. Both turned towards the two elder wolves standing beside the stairs, awaiting their final judgment.

Lobo slipped away from Kaelani’s side and moved towards them. Caleb squeezed Kaya’s hand and took a step forward as well. You could hear a pin drop in the room as they stared at each other for countless minutes. But then, unexpectedly, Lobo extended his hand and a genuine smile cracked his stony exterior. Caleb met his hand and they exchanged a gracious handshake. “Welcome to the family,” Lobo stated calmly. 

One week later…

Kaya stood on the shore of the Coral Sands beach, relishing the day. The cool blues of water and sky were just starting to be replaced by dark pink and orange hues as the sun began to set on their 3^rd day in this tropical heaven. As she relaxed to the swaying motion of the wind through her hair, her eyes instinctively closed and she could smell the smoky scent of his cologne before he approached. “Another beautiful day in paradise,” Caleb whispered against her ear. His hands snaked around her waist and she leaned back into his arms.

“Made better by your presence,” she giggled as she felt his mouth caress her neck. Wet kisses trailed down her jaw and cheek and she turned her head to meet his lips. 

“Come on, I have a surprise for you up the beach.” Taking her hand in his, they walked barefoot up the shore, the smell of the ocean floating over them. The setting sun did little to calm the rolling waves of the water as they insistently crashed their white caps against the coast. The soft, warm sand poured over their toes as they walked, and a small breeze offered slight relief from the warmth of the evening.

Caleb led Kaya through a wood-carved lattice decorated with white roses just a few yards up the beach. Dozens of rose petals dotted the small area where candles had been strategically placed around a cozy picnic area. “Wow, Caleb, you’ve outdone yourself this time!” she smiled and excitedly ran forward. Settling on the blankets, she poured two glasses of the champagne and hand fed him a strawberry once he’d cozied himself in her lap.

“What do you like about me?” Kaya asked, gently stroking a hand through his lush, black hair.  

“Ohh, fishing for compliments, are we?” he smiled, looking up into her eyes while he finished chewing down the fruit.

“No,” she grinned in return. “I’m curious. I know after we mate and bond we’ll have the this shared connection and all. But before that happens, I just wanted to know. If it hadn’t been for your wolf’s call to me. Would you have found me attractive?”

“Absolutely. Besides being a knockout, you’re funny, smart and have a kickass attitude.”

“What else?” She laughed at his raised eyebrow and tossed her hair over her shoulder. “Alright, NOW I’m fishing for compliments. What do you like about me?”

“Everything,” Caleb replied quickly as he watched the last wisps of clouds disappear from the sky above him. He looked up at her with a smile and she leaned forward placing a tiny kiss on his forehead. “I like the way you walk, the way you talk, the way your voice gets high pitched when you’re excited about something.” He adjusted in her lap and Kaya’s hand moved to his chest. “I like your jokes, especially the corny ones and the way you laugh at them afterwards. I like how your laugh makes me laugh and the sexy little smirk you have when you’re being naughty.”

“What?” she asked between giggles and he laughed at her shock. Kaya moved, this time taking a spot beside him, watching the dazzling embers of light flicker in his eyes from the nearby candles.

Reaching up, he tenderly smoothed a strand of hair from her face before continuing. “I like the way your eyes always tell me how you feel. And your lips…” he trailed off staring at them hungrily. “I like the way they pout after I kiss you.”

“Wow,” she sighed, leaning closer to where he lay. “That is really sweet. And I think, it deserves a reward,” she moaned when their lips touched. Caleb’s tongue forced her lips apart as he deepened the kiss. His mouth briefly moved from her lips to the top of her chest, running along her collarbone as she ran her fingers through his hair. Everywhere he touched caused a ripple to course over her skin.

One of his hands squeezed her hip while Caleb’s warm body rolled onto hers insistently. She mumbled softly in pleasure as he groped her, squeezing firmly as he pulled her completing beneath him. They broke their kiss with a breathy gasp and his mouth moved down her smooth neck to softly kiss and lick her chest.

Without thinking, her hands moved to his belt buckle and she began undoing it. He released her lips and looked down at them as they continued pulling the thin leather belt from around his waist. Searching her eyes, he watched the sexually shy wolf transform into a lustful lycan as she tossed his belt to the sand. Kaya’s fingers diligently began working the button of his jeans when she felt him stop her and pull away. “Ky, I…are you sure?”

She nodded her head slightly and leaned up, softly kissing his lips, “Please.” The hunger in the word removed all doubt. Determinedly, his lips fell on hers. But this kiss was different. It was deeper than before and full of more passion than she’d ever imagined. Caleb pulled down the straps of her bikini and ran his hands along her breasts. Anxiously, he kissed her as he urgently massaged her breasts. 

Kaya moaned as his mouth lowered down her neck,  replacing his hand, he kissed and teased both with his tongue.  Her eyes closed and she momentarily forgot where they were. It was beautiful here. They had a private cabana near the top of the beach with a romantic setting. A sunset that provided the perfect mood lighting and a gentle breeze rolling off the water, languidly cooling their heated bodies. Back and forth, he showed each nipple equal care before kissing his way back up to her lips. Slowly, Caleb slid her bikini bottom down her legs, joining it with his discarded belt. Leaning back with a lustful smile on his face, he took in the sight of her fully naked body.

Caleb unzipped his jeans the rest of the way, pulling them down enough to relieve himself of the growing pressure. Leaning over her, he placed a kiss on her lips, then her chin and collarbone, gliding his hands along her smooth brown skin. Lowering his hand between her legs, he slid one finger between her moist lips and Kaya let out a deep breath. Caleb smirked at the sighs falling between her lips and moved his finger to the rhythm of her breathing. She squirmed and took handfuls of the blanket into her hands. She was caught somewhere between pleasure and pain as he slowly moved his finger in and out, removing his jeans and boxers with his free hand. 

Opening her eyes and rolling them towards the heavens, she looked up into the gorgeous night sky as she felt the heat and tension intensify in her body. A lovely dizzying sensation took over, tingling down her spine making her legs feel a bit shaky. She mumbled in pleasure as Caleb’s hand softly caressed her inner thigh, growing more and more aroused as she let out tender, feminine moans. “OH!” Kaya groaned and felt the pressure release from in her womb. “Yesss,” she hissed, as Caleb’s finger brought her to her first ever orgasm. Lazily she smiled up at him, sweat dotting her forehead and she giggled at the cocky smirk on his face.

The sand slipped as he hovered over her, still moving his finger within her while their lips connected. She sighed when he removed his hand, pouting in protest, “There’s more, don’t worry,” he laughed huskily. He didn’t need to look at her to take the hint. Sliding over her, he parted her legs with his knees. Caleb positioned himself between her thighs and felt them wrap around his waist before leaning over and kissing her hard.

Slowly, he pushed into her, stopping with every inch to allow her to adjust. Kaya moaned through clenched teeth, with a tightened grip around his neck. He thrusted forward again, stopping as he heard the pain in her sighs. Sensing his hesitation, Kaya shook her head, urging him to continue. “I’m ok,” she assured him, rubbing his back as he moved again, but slower. 

After a while, her body gave in to him, allowing him to move within her fully and with less pain. Her throaty sighs drove him crazy and he was fighting hard to refrain from losing control. The last thing he wanted to do was hurt her and leave her sore with bad memories. He continued at a steady pace, the urges becoming harder and harder to restrain. He was almost painfully aroused and knew he probably wouldn’t last long but wanted to make sure she enjoyed her first time; their first time together.

Concentrating on his breathing, Caleb’s eyes widened in surprise when Kaya did something completely unexpected. With her legs locked around his back, she rocked her hips into his, fast and urgently making him groan with relief. “Wait,” he begged, holding her thighs to make her stop. “Kaya, don’t do that!” It was too soon for that, much too soon for what she was going for. 

Ignoring his pleas for mercy, she continued twisting her hips against him with loud, satisfied moans. “Kaya please…” he groaned again, growling above her as she watched him from her back. Finally, he surrendered. Gripping her hips tightly, he followed her rhythm and quickly took over. Caleb lost control, promptly forgetting where he was as he delivered fast but gentle thrusts into her until her muscles tightened around him. She came, her eyes shut tightly and her bottom lip caught between her teeth. Caleb relished in the sight of her beautiful face and convulsing body as he propelled her to another orgasm.

Kaya moaned as she felt every ridge and contour of his cock, his head banging against her cervix as he rapidly thrust inside her. Faster, harder, deeper, her eyes closed and she shut out everything but the need to draw this delicious tension out of her body. She felt the buildup and listened to his unrestrained grunting above her. Clawing at his back, Kaya tried desperately to pull him deeper and scratch that luscious itch. There was a throbbing, like a rapid-fire volt of electricity in the pit of her belly. Another sound from him and the rushing pressure inside her changed to radiant heat.

Breathing hard as he pushed quickly in and out of her warm thighs, he pressed his fingers tighter into her soft body as his hips slapped harder against hers. She felt the onset of another climax and groaned persistently as her fingernails raked deeper into his back. He, too, felt himself near his end and quickened his pace, ensuring she climaxed before him. Caleb growled, focusing on giving her the best night of her life. His loins boiling, he felt her muscles squeeze him tightly and it was all over. His orgasm exploded hard like a bullet from the barrel of a gun. 

He arched his back and thrust as deep as he could, driving her farther into the blanket which sank more into the loose sand. Caleb let out a long groan and came hard, his hot, thick load filling her completely. Kaya wiggled and twitched beneath him, her hips pressed painfully to the ground, although quickly forgotten as more pleasurable sensations filled her with euphoria. Finally, Caleb’s grip on her hips relaxed and he let out a deep, satisfied sigh.

Rolling off of her, he tugged her waist, pulling her back into his chest. “Mmm, are you ok?” he asked, burying his face into her neck while he listened to her rhythmic breathing.

“Yeah,” she sighed, tightening her arm around his. “I’m…perfect.” He heard her girlish giggle and it brought a smile to his face. Tenderly he kissed her shoulder as he held her naked, sweaty body against him.

“Good. The last thing I’d want is an unsatisfied customer.”

“Customer? Is that all I am to you?”

“You know better than that, Kaya,” he replied firmly. “You are my absolute world.”

“Your world huh?” she grinned and stroked his arm lightly. “I like that.”

His arm squeezed her tighter into him and he planted more kisses on her shoulder. “I love you, Kaya.” She cozied herself deeper against him and could hear his heart beating in his chest behind her. Quickly she realized it was in sync with her own. Two hearts, beating as one. That was something she’d have to get used to once they’d bonded. But it was a change she was looking forward to. Plus, it didn’t hurt to know he was great in bed as well.

She glanced back at him and returned the smile he flashed her as she lovingly clutched his hand against her chest. “I love you too.”
