Page 10 of Claimed By the Boss

My legs collapse beneath me, my blood rushing in my ears. Through the haze clouding my mind, I watch Nolan throw Rich against the wall, his large fist smashing into the other man’s mouth.

A copper scent joins all the others, but past that, I smell my Alpha. The one I need with a desperation that sends me crawling toward them on hands and knees, dirt and debris biting into my palms.

I need him. “Nolan.”

His fist slams into Rich’s gut before he looks down at me, and his gaze lands on my neck, taking in the red marks left by Rich’s grasp.

With a growl, he turns back to the other man and knees him hard between the legs. Rich screams and falls to the ground, and Nolan kicks him in the stomach.

I reach them and grasp Nolan’s pant leg, dragging myself up his body. “Nolan.”

He kicks Rich again, a fierce growl rising from his chest. “That fucker shouldn’t have put his hands on you.”

Heat suffuses my body, my pulse pounding with desire. Despite everything that just happened, I want to be held. Need to be held.

I stumble to my feet and press my body against his side.

The growl shifts to a gentle rumble, and one muscular arm comes around me. “Are you okay, Leo?”

Concern fills the question, but that’s not what I need. Stretching onto my toes, I wrap my arms around his neck. “Nolan, please.”

His nostrils flare as he takes in my pheromones, and he cups the back of my neck. “Oh, look at you.”

His touch sends an electric shock through me, and my eyes close as I whimper with need.

He leans down closer, his warm breath brushing my ear. “You want me to take care of you, Leo?”

This is dangerous territory, but I nod without thinking twice. Even if it’s only for three days, I want to be in Nolan’s arms. To experience the real thing instead of my fantasies.

“I’m going to take you somewhere else,” he says, his tone gravelly, “where we can be alone.”

My heart races as he lifts me into his arms, and I clutch his shoulders, burying my nose against his neck. Against my flushed face, his skin burns with a fever of his own. His long strides take us to the street, where a parked car sits near the entrance.

He opens the back door and lays me on the seat. The scent of leather and cologne permeate the car, but above all, Nolan’s intoxicating pheromones fill my nose, making my head spin with desire.

Nolan climbs in after me and shuts the door.

The car engine rumbles to life, and a voice comes from the front seat. “Where to, sir?”

I flinch at the sound of someone else’s voice, and my head jerks toward him.

“It’s okay, just focus on me.” Nolan grips my jaw, turning my face back to him. “Take us to the townhouse.”

The car jolts forward, and I grip Nolan’s powerful arms.

He looks down at me with a fierce intensity in his eyes, his body hovering over mine. His pheromones fill the car, and I soon forget about the other person, my world narrowing to the Alpha on top of me.

My body shakes as he peels me out of my clothes, then rolls me onto my back to kneel between my thighs. Rough calluses cover his hands, his touch gentle but firm as he pushes my knees up toward my chest, exposing my slick entrance.

“So pretty,” he growls, and the sound of a lowering zipper fills the car.

My eyes drop to the enormous cock that springs free, and I tense with fear. Despite my body’s demand to be filled, I’ve never done this before, and Nolan’s size scares me.

“Eyes on mine.” The Command brings my gaze back to his. “Trust me to take care of you, Leo.”

With a moan, I let go of my reservations and give myself over to Nolan.

His large body covers mine, one knee shoved between my hip and the seat while his other foot braces against the floor. Hot lips cover mine, his tongue thrusting into my mouth, tasting of whiskey.
