Alpha’s Black Furred Slave Mate
Chapter 23

I was taken back by his words. I had no idea he felt that strongly about the pregnancy. Upon finding out about the pregnancy, it didn't seem as though he believed the child to be his.

I wasn't going to question his motives, but I remembered my conversation with Alex about attending school. We made a deal that he would help me attend school if I can convince Marlon to allow for that to happen.

"Okay," I told him softly. "I do have a favor."

He cocked an eyebrow up at me and folded his arms across his chest.

"What's that?" He asked; I could hear the humor lingering behind his words, but he kept a firm expression.

"I want to go to school and study for real; like your sons," I told him.

He frowned.

"Excuse me?" He asked, eyeing me carefully.

"Back when I lived with the commoners," I paused as the memory came flooding back to me. "I used to study a lot. They had a school they allowed me to attend. I wasn't exactly equal, but they didn't treat me poorly. I also had my family to protect me. I was young, but I always had a passion for learning, and school always felt like my element. It was taken from me when the king's new treaty came about. I would like to continue with that."

"There's no way in hell..." Marlon began to say, but then he paused and stared around my features.

I couldn't figure out what he was thinking about; he went from "absolutely not" to almost thinking about it very quickly.

He broke his firm expression and a grin appeared across his thin lips. Something told me I wasn't going to enjoy what he was thinking. Even my wolf was getting nervous at his exterior. He took a step closer to me; I had to hold onto my fingers from behind me to keep them from trembling.

I wouldn't allow him to break me. I wasn't going to let him see into the fear that was residing within me.

"Okay," he finally said calmly.

I blinked a few times, staring up at him.

"Okay?" I repeated, clarifying his words.

He laughed a deep laugh that made my skin crawl.

"But you have to do something for me," he said.

Something was twinkling in his eyes that I didn't recognize.

What could he possibly want from me?

I could feel his movements from close in front of me, he was positioning his pants. Tugging at his own waistline until they came loose and were around his ankles, springing himself free.

My eyes gazed downward, staring at his erection in front of me. I could feel the redness in my face as I continued staring at it. My mouth gaped in utter shock.

He wanted me to suck him in exchange for an education?

That was absurd. It was disgusting that he would even think to ask me for something like that. I gazed back up at him with my eyes wide with astonishment.

He cocked an eyebrow up and his grin widened.

"Well?" He asked. "Do you want to attend school? Or no?"

I did. I really did.

But was I willing to put everything I knew behind me in exchange for this one thing? But this one thing could lead to a bigger thing. If he was serious about keeping me alive, if I gained an education, I could become almost lethal to the hierarchies. There was nothing more dangerous than a smart slave; I could put an end to all slavery and free all that are chained.

If Marlon was easily bought by sexual favors, I could probably get more from him later down the road. I hated myself for thinking such things; I hated that I was resorting to such behaviors that were so out of character for me.

But I couldn't stop myself. My wolf was in control of me once again.

I knelt to the ground in front of him. Staring up at him, he smiled as I placed his erection in my mouth. The softness of his mushroom tip danced my tongue, oozing a sweetness that slid down my throat with ease. I could feel his shaft sliding deeper into my throat, hitting the walls in the back. I had to expand my throat to keep my gag reflects down.

Gazing back up at him, I saw that his head was thrown back and his eyes were closed as he took in the feeling of my mouth on him. His mouth was opened slightly as he moaned softly. I used my hand to work his shaft has my tongue circled his tip.

I felt his firm hands on the back of my head, deepening himself into my throat; I had to work hard to keep myself from throwing up on him again. He thrust his hips hard as he made his way in and out of my mouth. I widened my mouth to give him easier access. A moan escaped my lips as he pressed himself into me; I could feel his legs quivery as he reached his climax.

A thick liquid came from the tip, washing over my tongue and sliding delicately down my throat.

He was breathing heavily as he pulled himself out of my mouth. I wiped the moisture off my lips and worked to catch my breath. I stood to my feet as I watched him pull his pants back up and fix himself.

My body was shaking as the realization of what we had just done set in; he didn't seem to look remorseful as he did previously. Then again, it was only oral, and we weren't drugged.

After a breath, he turned away from me and began walking towards the doorway. I wasn't sure what that meant or how to take that; I stared after him confused.

As he opened the door, he turned back to me only slightly.

"I see what I can do," he said, before disappearing.

Leaving me in my utter shame.
