His fingers followed over the curve of her hip and down to the space between her legs, not ready to give up this moment.

I’m fucking addicted.

He dipped his fingers into her flesh, then brought them to his mouth. Mixed with her blood, he sucked on his digits and swallowed.

His eyes closed as he purred out a moan, relishing her tangy flavors.

I want her.

I want this human.

She is mine.

Dipping his fingers inside her again, Logan ran them over her nipple and watched Brooklyn’s body react, even while half unconscious.

She would soon wake.

Given the choice, Logan would stay here all night and play, bringing her to orgasm, taking her, savoring her.

Or he could take her memories.

Brooklyn didn’t need to know this had happened. It would be better for her if she didn’t. After a few more reflective moments, while brushing her raven hair from her face, Logan decided against the idea.

For purely selfish reasons.

He wanted to do this again. A few more fucking times, if he was honest.

He cupped her face.

“You are mine, little mouse.” Logan spoke quietly. “Until you leave us, you belong to me.”

Because she would eventually leave, and he would let her.

There was no other choice.

He couldn’t claim a human mate.

Even if she was...she couldn’t be.

Waiting until he was sure her breathing and heart rate were steady, Logan climbed off the bed and pulled the covers over her.

He had work to do.

Kissing her forehead, he straightened. “Sleep, Brooklyn. I will return and we can do all of that again.”

What a motivation for getting shot with more of those fucking serum darts.

Get the job done, then get his cock back inside his little human.

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

Craig and Brayden strode through the lobby of the building and stopped at the elevators. Craig pushed the button while Brayden reached out to Willow for the nine thousandth time.

Baby, I’m coming. Can you hear me?

Silence.

Yet again.
