Phoenix Maplewood The Hazards of Love [M]

Sure! We can fade this one out and have another soon!

Cast away on a sea of satisfaction, Reek's heart worked in overtime to regain it's usual, steady rhythm. The chills brought on by the sudden rush of adrenaline that rushed down Reek's back did not abate— instead, they intensified; he would soon find himself craving this feeling, especially after they parted at the hip. There was something about having a secret and partaking in something clandestine that spurred this reaction from the alpha male. Despite loving his mate and the pups growing in her belly wholeheartedly, Reek knew he would be coming back for more of this sort of satisfaction; like a moth to flame, it would be his undoing.
