“Survival is kind of a pressing need.” I grinned at the hunter.

“So, barring another attack, your place or mine?” He brushed a bit of hair out of my face.

“Your place,” I said. “If nothing else, it’d be nice to have a little more space.”

“Sounds good. Do you want to follow me out, or drop a vehicle off somewhere?”

“I’ll follow you. That way, you don’t have to drive me back.”

“I never mind driving you around, Hannah, but that’s fine.”

Hand in hand, we headed for the parked cars. I’d finally gotten mine back from the werewolves. After it had been tampered with so that the handles would drug me, they’d wanted to go over it with every type of cleaning ability they had, and the thing smelled like a new car. I’d still felt a little hesitant the first couple of times I’d driven it, but the wolves hadn’t found any other traps, and I’d gradually relaxed back into enjoying the vehicle.

Nimbus appeared in the passenger seat as I pulled away from the curb.

I ruffled his ears. “You could have stayed with Aurora.”

He carried on for a few minutes, and I nodded along.

“Well, I’m glad you’re here.”

Nimbus woofed in agreement.

It didn’t take overly long to get to Bridger’s place. It wasn’t as quick as getting to some of the spots in town, but the drive wasn’t awful, either. I hadn’t been out here since it had been repaired, but they’d done a good job, and I wasn’t actually sure what had been damaged.

When we got out, Bridger opened the door for me, and we went inside his bunker-style home.

“What would you like to drink?”

“Water for now, thanks.” I followed him to the kitchen and leaned against the counter while he got me and Nimbus both something to drink.

The water here was so fresh. I knew he was on a spring well and it tasted better than any city water. Nimbus lapped his up before trotting into the kitchen. The refrigerator door opened, and something floated out of it.

I glanced at Bridger, but he only smiled and kicked the door shut after the cloud dog had taken his prize.

The low feeling of anticipation and arousal centered in my groin was building to a needy roar. I needed Bridger, and I didn’t want to wait long to have him. We were already bonded, and I had to have that physical connection too.

“Do you think you will still take Katsuro’s and Davin’s bonds now that the danger has passed?”

Bridger shrugged. “Maybe. I’m not in a hurry.” His sense didn’t change to discomfort through our bond, so I suspected he was okay with the idea, just not in a rush as he said. “So, how’s being an alpha of a werewolf pack?”

“More meetings than I expected.” I laughed. “Though they don’t expect me to be a real werewolf or anything. I’m more of a figurehead, I guess.”

“That will change as you learn more, I suspect.” Bridger came around the counter and held out his hand.

I took it and he pulled me to him. His lips met mine. A feeling of completion fell over me. Bridger backed me into the wall by the counter and cupped the back of my head with his hand, his other going to the small of my back. I dug my fingers into his ass, pulling him closer. Being pressed between him and the wall filled me with all sorts of ideas, and I ran my leg up his.

“So, want to show me your bedroom?”

“Yeah, I really do.”

He led me down the hall, pausing to push me up against the wall and make out with me, or tear off a piece of clothing, leaving a trail behind us from the kitchen to his room. By the time we made it into the bedroom, all I had left were my panties, and Bridger just had a pair of boxers on. The back of my legs bumped into his bed, and Bridger went to his knees, taking my panties with him, then his hands went to my hips and his mouth went to my pussy.

Groaning, I spread my feet, giving him more access. He worshiped my clit for a while, sending tremors down my legs. I used his shoulders for balance until I was barely able to stand. Then we adjusted so I was laying back on the bed, legs spread wide while Bridger worked me with his lips and fingers.

“Oh, fuck,” I gasped out. “Yes, just like that.” I shattered, and Bridger made a happy sound before he stood and slipped out of his boxers.

“You have birth control, right? Do you want me to use a condom?”
