She arched her back, letting out a low moan that urged me on as I pumped in and out of her.

Fuck, she was so wet. I could feel it dripping down my legs, and I loved it. Loved that I could make her this way, so fucking wet and wild.

“Say my name, Mai,” I ordered. “I want to hear my name when you come.”

“Ryan,” she breathed. “Oh, fuck, yes, Ryan!”

I felt her inner walls start to flutter around me. Then it was like an explosion. Her pussy clamped around my cock as she threw her head back.

“Ryan!” she screamed again as her orgasm crashed through her. Her body jerked and jolted, so fucking wild. I growled as I pumped my cum into her.

Mai collapsed against me. I gave her a moment as I stroked her hair and kissed her neck. Then I lifted her off of me and set her on her feet. She wobbled, and I snaked my arm around her waist to keep her from falling. She smiled up at me, her face relaxed and sated. She was in for a surprise if she thought I was done with her. I intended to explore every inch of her gorgeous body, to learn all the ways I could give her pleasure. Her nightmares were going to end tonight. I was going to make sure there was no room left in her head for bad thoughts, that she could only think about what I was doing to her. I was going to fuck her until she was so exhausted, she wouldn’t be able to think straight.

Chapter nineteen

Mai

Our bedroom was dim, the only light coming from a lone bedside lamp. It cast long shadows across the room, flickering every now and then like a shy firefly. I was wrapped up in a soft robe. Ryan, naked, his muscular form sprawled across the bed, was watching me.

Ryan had fucked me again in the shower. It had been hot and delicious, and I had the feeling that we still weren’t done. There was something I had to do first, though.

I pulled out my phone. My fingers danced across the screen, bringing up Sofia’s number. With a deep breath, I pressed “call.”

The familiar ringtone echoed around the room until Sofia’s warm voice filled the air. “Hey, you.” Her tone was light, playful, the same Sofia I had known for years.

“Hey, Sofia,” I responded, my voice mirroring her own. “How are you, girl?”

“Oh, you know me. I bounce back quick.”

“I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean for this to hap—”

“Don’t be silly, Mai,” Sofia interrupted. “This wasn’t your fault. This was Seth, and I gotta say, me and Jase were over the fucking moon when Derek told us you and Ryan killed him. He deserved what he got.”

I paused, a swirl of emotions in my chest. I hadn’t realized how guilty I’d felt that Sofia and Jase got injured by my ex-boyfriend.

“How’s the Alpha life treating you?” she asked, and I could almost see the impish grin that was likely on her face.

“Derek told you.”

“Yeah, Derek told me. You’re doing the right thing, Mai. You gotta know I have your back. So, how’s it been?”

“Challenging, so far. I’m not sure when it gets to be all spa days and massages, but I can’t wait.”

Sofia giggled. She knew as well as I did that being the Pack Alpha left little time for treats like that.

“Well, when it does happen, I’m your spa buddy. Deal?”

“Deal. So, how is the patient life treating you? Has Jase morphed into a nurse yet?”

“Jase? A nurse? More like a clumsy bull in a glass factory. He got sacked when he dropped my soup twice. Once all over my knees!”

I laughed. “Tell him I said to get his act together,” I said, my voice lighter than it had been in days.

“I will. He needs a little scolding from his Alpha.”

I smiled at her way of telling me that Jase was backing me and Ryan, too.

“Mai, have you heard anything over there about a drug called ripple?”
