How disgusted I’d been.

“It did, though.” Reaching up, she touched my face. “We had a rocky start, but you’ve made me believe in heroes again. Made me believe in hope.”

“Why do you seem sad about it?”

“Because it’s made me want to do things I never thought I’d do.”

“Like what?”

“Kiss me, Jax. Tonight, let’s forget about everything.”

With her in my arms, it was almost easy. Hating the troubled look I saw in her eyes, I lifted her up, pressed her against the part of the tile that was warm under the hot water, and settled between her legs. She ran her hands through my wet hair.

Something was nagging at me. The desperation in her face. What was going on in that head of hers? “I’ll protect you,” I told her. “Whatever is bothering you, whatever is scaring you, you can tell me.”

“You haven’t kissed me, Jax,” she murmured. “Please.”

Any other night, I would have loved that word on her lips, but tonight? It was unsettling.

Since I couldn’t get her to talk, I did what she needed. I kissed her until I felt her body soften and her hips move against me.

“Feel better, baby?” I murmured as I nuzzled her neck. “Need more?”

“More.” She moved her hips against me and moaned. I grazed my teeth along her neck and planted my hands under her butt again. When I started to move her, she protested with a wiggle, but I slid her all the way up the wall and hooked her legs over my shoulders.

“Oh,” she breathed. “Oh, okay.”

“Just okay? I’m going to have to change that.” I bit her thigh, hard, and she yelped.

It wasn’t a playful bite. I had the strongest urge to mark her. I wanted her to remember that she was mine, no matter what she was thinking, no matter what she was planning.

Mine.

“Jax, please. Please.”

That word was sounding even better. “Whatever you need, Anna. Whenever you need it.”

I planted my mouth right on her wet pussy and sucked her clit into my mouth. With a scream, she arched her back harder into my mouth and cried out. Her pleasure echoed off the walls. I wanted to play. To extend her pleasure almost to the point of pain, but I could tell that she was in no mood to play.

She needed a release, and I gave it to her. I licked and sucked her until she was shaking in my arms and screaming. I had no doubt that everyone in the house could hear her pleasure, and when she came, she went boneless.

I let her fall to the left and caught her easily. Shutting off the water, I carried her out of the shower and sat her on the counter. “Steady yourself,” I murmured. Grabbing a towel, I started at her feet and dried her up to her waist. By then, the glaze had gone from her eyes, so I gently pulled her to her feet. “Okay?”

She nodded. “Okay.”

I toweled up her body, between her legs and up her hips. When I dragged the towel up her back, I pulled closer to me and captured her mouth.

After a few seconds, I remembered what I was doing and squeezed her hair in the towel before I pulled away. “Dry?”

“I’m never dry around you, Jax. It’s a little irritating, actually.” Sliding a hand down my body, she wrapped it around my hard cock. “You still seem to be suffering a little.”

“A little? That’s a bit of a blow to my ego.”

“Please. Nothing puts a dent in your ego.” As she stroked me, I shuddered.

“Keep doing that, and I’m going to fuck you right here against the bathroom sink. I’d hoped to, instead, fuck you all night. The alphas are leaving in the morning, and you can sleep all afternoon.”

Her eyes darkened. “All night?”
