Sharkbait Down Under

I woke to the most amazing feelings in the world.

My hands moved to touch the head between my thighs as my mate teased and licked at my slightly-sore lady bits. I cracked an eye open to see the blanket popped up around him, and behind him, the picture windows showed the ocean in the morning light. “Mmmmm,” I moaned softly as his tongue moved slowly up to circle my ‘man in a boat.’ “Don’t stop, baby.”

He kept up the teasing as I woke up, working me to a very pleasurable orgasm that had me wrapping my legs around him and convulsing. When the spasms stopped, I let him go and flipped the sheets down to expose him. “You can wake me like that all the time,” I said.

“Except when you wake me that way,” he teased as he moved up my body. His cock had been up for a while and was raring to go. Moving between my legs, he found the spot and pushed forward until fully sheathing himself in me. “So good,” he said.

“Gentle, I’m a little sore,” I told him. We took our time making love, him on top for a bit, then I rolled him over and rode him. My favorite was reverse cowgirl, with both of us able to see the ocean view as we rocked together. I was building to a peak, helped by his fingers reaching around between my legs, and I started moving faster. “Cum with me, my mate.”

I bounced on him for a few more strokes, then slammed down on him with a scream as my release came. He held onto my hips and pushed up, emptying his balls inside me. When the tremors ended, he rolled us onto our sides. When he fell out, he got up and went to the bathroom, bringing back a wet washcloth and a towel for me. “We made a mess,” I said as I looked down at the wet spot we’d left. “The whole place smells like sex, and my parents will be here tonight.

“I’m sure there are fresh sheets around, and your parents expect the place to smell this way since we are newly mated. I can open up the doors and air it out.”

“I’ll make breakfast while you do,” I told him. I cleaned up and dressed, then went into the kitchen. It had dropped into the sixties overnight, so I opened the doors and windows to let the sea breezes through. I found bacon, eggs, and pancake mix and was cooking things up when Nicholas came out of the bedroom. “I can’t get over these views,” I told him as I flipped the pancakes.

“I know. What do you want to do today?” He came into the kitchen next to me, and I handed over the bacon duties to him. I loved that he knew how to cook and clean; I’d have to thank Dorothy for raising him that way.

“Take a look at the other buildings and the property line in the daylight? We could take the ATV out.”

“That sounds good. Alessandro left a property map by the door. Maybe in the afternoon, we could use the jetski to explore from the water?”

Now THAT would be fun. We looked over the property documents as we ate breakfast out on the deck, building up our energy for the long day. “What is the climate here like?”

“You’re right on the ocean, so a lot depends on which way the wind is blowing.” He pulled up climate data on his phone, while I pulled up Miesville, what I was used to, on my phone. “We’re in summer now, with January the hottest month.”

“It’s pretty dang nice for summer,” I said.

“Unless the wind is blowing from the Outback and deserts north of us, the ocean keeps things tempered. Record heat is one hundred and eight, but most summers, we don’t see a hundred.” He flipped over to the forecast, which had crazy weather cycles. Today was going to be ninety-one, then the next two days in the sixties before a couple more days with highs in the eighties again.

“It’s like Duluth up on Lake Superior; if you don’t like the weather, just wait,” I said with a chuckle.

“Our winter is cool, sometimes rainy, but nothing like what I see in Miesville. Record lows are just above freezing. If we want snow, we have to go to the mountains. With the wind and cool, it’s lots of slickers and sweaters.”

“It sounds a lot like the Pacific Northwest,” I said. “Not as much rain. I can tell by the vegetation that this is a more arid climate.”

“Cool, dry, and sunny isn’t a bad combination.”

I had to agree; my wolf preferred cooler weather to the hot tropics. “How far are we from your parents and the other Pack members in Port Lincoln?”

He snorted. “Not that far as the crow flies, but the helicopter is a LOT faster than the other options.” He pulled up the map on his phone. “Seven and a half hours driving, IF you time the ferry ride perfectly.” He showed me the map; you had to drive north through Adelaide, take a ferry across the Spencer Gulf from Wallaroo to Lucky Bay, then another three hours driving south along the west side to get home.” He pressed some more buttons. “Heck, it’s only nine hours to Melbourne.”

“Getting a pilot’s license is sounding better all the time,” I said with a grin. “We should see if there’s a suitable place to put in an airstrip or an airport nearby we could use.”

“And a helipad.” That would be easy, and we could put one near the house. “What about your school?”

He leaned back in his chair. “I don’t think I can be a full-time medical student and an Alpha, especially with everything we have going on,” he said. “Working with Leo while you finished the tour showed me just how much I need to learn. The Pack is more important right now.”

Unfortunately, I knew just how he felt. My school had to take a backseat to my modeling and production work, and that was before I became Alpha of a scattered Pack. It was only going to get worse. “What are you going to do instead?”

He tapped on the table. “I’ve got a couple of options. One is to stay here and guide the Pack while you are filming in the States. Leo, Ivan, and Adrienne all volunteered to visit to help train me.” I thanked Luna that they were so invested in us succeeding. I’d grown up learning about the Alpha position that Nicholas and the Southern Cross Pack just found out existed. “They also said I could fly back to the States with you and visit the Miesville and Stillwater Packs while you are at sea.”

“I’ll be gone for three months filming, starting in the spring,” I said.

“I’d like to do both. I’d ask if Leo can help me here for six weeks, then I’d fly to the States with them and spend the last six weeks there. That way, we can take a vacation together before flying back home. Maybe Hawaii this time, to cut down the flight times?”

I smiled at that; Hawaii would be epic. Maybe I could film an episode there too? There was also San Diego, where I hoped to be able to film training with the SEALs. “We can do that.”

“If I have time, I’d like to start taking business classes. I can do most of it from here by video and computer, maybe driving up to Adelaide when I need to be there in person.”

“Not medicine?”

He reached his hand over and touched my hand. “You need help running Sharkbait Productions and the Sharkbait Foundation. We’re going to be handling millions of dollars in assets and investments, plus you will be busy with the Pack and the Australian Council. Luna made me your mate so I could help shoulder some of this load you’re carrying, and this is the way to do it.”

I loved him so much, it hurt. I moved over, snuggling into his arms, and just enjoying the feeling of a mate who put me first. “Who do we leave in charge while we are gone?” We hadn’t announced the structure of the Pack yet, as we were still working on the holdout families to get them to join us.

“I’d like to see my father as my Beta, and Leo agrees,” Nicholas said. “The holdup is my Mom. The Beta couple needs to be wolves, and my Mom is still human. She’d have to make the change.”

“Ian is strong enough to be our Beta. The question is whether Dorothy would risk it?”

“She’s already agreed and was waiting until after the wedding,” Nicholas replied. “She wants to go through it while Leo and Adrienne are here to help her. We haven’t lost anyone, not yet.” It was true; our Pack was now eight-for-eight on changes, and no one could explain why. It was like flipping a coin and getting eight consecutive heads.

“They can do it here,” I said. “There’s the other house, right?”

He nodded. “We should probably make sure it’s livable before we invite them, though.”

I got up and helped him up before we closed up the room and headed for the ATV. I was thrilled to find two of them in the garage; I’d been riding since I was six, and these were high-end, powerful models. There were some helmets on a shelf, so I found one that fit and fired my machine up. I let out a whoop as I accelerated out of the garage, turning right on the road with Nicholas right behind me.

A group of grey kangaroos looked up from their grazing as we passed by. The one-lane dirt road wound along the coast, and it was a fast ride to the farmhouse at the adjacent parcel. Nicholas opened the door, and we walked in. “It’s not musty,” I said.

“The caretaker must be keeping it up,” I said. The lights turned on, revealing a cozy farmhouse with a big kitchen. The refrigerator and freezer contained only beer, water, and cokes. The cabinets had all the plates and utensils needed, and the furniture and main bed were all covered. We checked the faucets and bathrooms, and everything worked. “Let’s open the place up and give it a cleaning,” I said.

“It won’t take that long,” Nicholas agreed. “You’re all right with them coming?”

“Of course,” I said. “We have room, and we all need to talk.”

“I’ll call home while you get started,” he said. Thirty minutes later, the place was ready for them. Ian promised he’d bring ‘an Esky full of meat’ along, which was a good idea for a new wolf.

I’d talked with Alessandro briefly; the other Masters were flying out now, so I’d have to thank them later. Alessandro assured me we could use the property, including the farmhouse, as long as needed. “The three days thing was because you’d be going straight to the airport. We hired a jet to take you to meet up with your family and friends on the Gold Coast. They are at one of my homes on Mermaid Beach for four more days before you all come down to my estate in Sydney. They can fly home from there.”

“They all left?”

“When you invited your parents and your aunt and uncle, they decided to stay behind and fly out with you. The rest of them are having a great time on the beach. You’ll see.”

“I can’t thank you enough, Alessandro. This place is amazing. You’ve done so much for me that I’ll never be able to repay.”

“The other Masters and I are happy we could help out our friends, Vicki. Enjoy your stay.”

“Oh, we are,” I said before saying goodbye.

I found Nicholas sitting outside on a porch swing, watching the ocean. “Our honeymoon will continue on the beach,” I told him before sitting next to him and filling him in.

“That was very generous of Alessandro.”

“It was. Now, I need you to make love to me again before we finish looking at the property.”

He rolled his eyes. “How am I supposed to get anything done around here with your constant demands for sex?”

“You’ll get as much done as I do when Nick Junior gets excited,” I teased back. I stood up, pulling off my clothes and tossing them on the seat. “We should make sure this railing is safe,” I said as I bent over, looking out at the ocean below us.

“Can’t be too safe,” he said as he dropped his shorts and moved behind me.

The railing was still sound, as was the swing, the door, and the kitchen counter.
