CHAPTER 6
Justice
I STOOD AT THE BIG bay window gazing at the falling leaves as they carpeted the lawn. Though it was only mid-September, the leaves were already tugging loose from the branches. The trees were full of bright colors differing from one root to another. I couldn’t help but to stare in awe.
I blew over my hot cup of java letting the steam push back against my skin to warm me. Alice was spoiling me with treats, and this amazing brew was one of them. It was French toast dark roast with caramel cream. No sugar was needed.
“Justice, it’s time,” Alice called from the doorway before closing the door tightly behind her.
We’d set a schedule of time that I spent healing Seuss. He needed more healing than was estimated, but I could only handle the sessions in small spells. He was strong, and healing him was no easy job. His wolf also needed to heal, and the two together drained me quickly.
I moved to the bed and sat down my cup. I took off the sweater I’d taken from Seuss’ closet and laid it across the chair. I climbed in bed with him, pressed my back against his side and put his arm around me. My cup was still in reach and I grabbed it, sipping while in deep thought. I’d been in my head a lot today and decided to share my thoughts with Seuss. Maybe he could hear me, maybe he couldn’t. Either way, it couldn’t hurt to talk to him.
“I always thought that I’d be somebody important. When I was a kid, I’d pretend to be the mayor’s wife. It wasn’t that I didn’t think that I could be the mayor, because I could. But it’s always the wife that does the good stuff. Saving communities, building schools, being that voice that others are afraid to have. The mayor gets to sit in business meetings and make sure that the laws are being upheld, but the difference is made by his counterpart. She makes the people love him and have just as much faith in him as she does.”
Seuss’ hand, warm and sure, cupped my breast. Breathless, I looked down to see his hand caressing my bare skin. His calloused fingers caressed between my breasts and down the center of my stomach. I tried to focus on what I was saying. He was in some sort of healing sleep, and there was no way that he was doing any of this on purpose. Maybe he was dreaming. I set down the cup, afraid that I’d spill its contents.
“I’m not sure if that’s the role of the Alpha’s mate. That’s what I envision it as. All of this is so new and different that I don’t know if I understand any of it.” I scoffed. “The Alpha’s mate could just be a baby machine. For the record, I’m not that. I don’t know why I even care. You’ve already made it clear that you don’t want me as a mate.”
I trembled from the sure path he was taking just before he teased my right nipple between two of his fingers. I leaned my head back, arching into his ministrations.
“You can’t just take what you want from me, Alpha,” I mumbled to him breathlessly.
Squeezing my thighs together only made the ache become more intense as my need dampened my sex. The heel of his hand caressed the other nipple, and I closed my eyes, hoping for relief but trying to figure out how we got here. The spasms wreaking havoc upon the walls of my sex brought me closer to the edge of something mountainous.
“That’s where you’re wrong, vixen.” Seuss squeezed my nipple firmly making my slit throb intensely.
I could feel the effects from the pull on my nipple through my clit. My entire mound seemed to pulse in time to his racing heart. I sighed. “How so?”
“That’s exactly what I’m going to do.” His voice was gravely, yet I felt the booming ripple through my mind.
I turned my head into his muscled forearm and bit into the skin there, soothing the spot with my tongue. I’m not sure what made me do it, but the response was a low growl that ignited shivers of gratification. I gasped as I began tipping forward off the ledge of bliss. A loud buzz of chimes on the other side of the door startled me back into the moment. I sat up, breathless, and looked over at a resting Seuss. His hands were fisted in frustration, and there was an obvious tent arching the sheets.
“Madam … Justice … the session is over,” Alice said through the closed door.
“I’ll be out in a minute,” I yelled.
I slid from the bed and looked over at Seuss. If I didn’t know better, I’d say that he was smirking at me. Damn if it wasn’t sexy.
“Tsk, tsk. You’re a very bad boy, Alpha.” I put on my sweater and pulled the blankets firmly around Seuss. Feeling naughty, I leaned forward and whispered in his ear. “A few more seconds and you would have been the first man to ever make me cum.”
I stood up and smiled as the tent grew taller. I was happy that I wasn’t the only one effected. “I’ll be back later, Seuss.”
And with that I exited with my now cool coffee and headed into my room for a long shower.

“When will you be home?” Ms. Sandy sounded nervous, and I was trying to reassure her by telling her as much as I could.
“As soon as I’m done helping out here. I wish you could visit. The house I’m staying in is huge. When Seuss is better, I’ll ask him if you can visit before I leave. I think he’ll be better any day now.” I twirled a strand of my hair around my finger to occupy my mind.
I was in Seuss’ room, and I felt drawn to him though I couldn’t touch him right now. I’d healed him for the day by taking a short nap beside him. I needed to allow myself some space, so I could heal. Sitting in the same room satisfied my need to be near. I noticed that the more I healed him, the more I felt connected to him. I wasn’t sure if it had anything to do with the partial bond that he’d created when he’d healed me or what. The way that he’d rejuvenated life within me left a doorway from his mind to mine. I could hear him, feel him, and even see parts of his dreams. We were connected whether I liked it or not. There was a pull to him that I couldn’t deny. I kept the information to myself, but he was growing harder to resist.
“And you’re sure that you’re okay?” I was distracted by the man lying in the bed, but otherwise I was just fine.
“Yes, ma’am. I’m just fine,”
Maddox walked into the room making me smile. It was short lived when I saw the concern on his face.
