I should have brought him with me inside to Dr. Shaffer, but no. Instead, I chose to keep it from him.
And why?
Why would I?
There was no explanation for my actions, other than I was a fucking idiot.
“Isaac—”
“How could you do this?!” he snapped. His control was slipping. The icy layer covered his skin, and he stalked closer.
Blood trickled down his clenched fists, and I gulped, edging back. I had never seen him this angry. Especially toward me.
Conner grabbed him and pulled him back. At least tried to. With one glare from Isaac, he released his grip and bared his neck.
“They have scented you! You can never escape them once they come!”
I backed up until I couldn’t go any further. His hand collared my throat, lifting me up from the ground, while the tree behind me scratched my back, tearing my shirt to pieces.
Claws broke my skin and soon my blood covered his hands as well.
“Why won’t you listen to me?” he roared with such force that my hair fanned from my face.
I should have feared him, anything other than what I felt. What stirred beneath the surface.
“Isaac let her go!” William yelled, but it was no use. None of them could get closer when that smoke protected him from their touch.
“You’re mine, Joanne. I don’t care what others say, or what you promised. You don’t force me to do anything!”
My knees buckled, and I slowly lifted my legs, wrapped them around his hips, and tugged him closer.
My vision dotted, my breathing shallowed. And when I felt his dick against my core, I whimpered in need.
“Oh, for fuck’s sake,” William grumbled in defeat.
“Leave us!” Isaac ordered, and my core clenched.
Why was he turning me on right now? He was angry at me, and all I wanted was him to take it out on me and fuck me senseless.
His gaze darkened, and he tilted his hips against me, my arousal peaked, a warmth spread through my body, luring him closer.
“I’m sorry,” I said with a broken voice and his grip on my throat slowly loosened.
The anger in his eyes remained, but there was more now. A softness, and undeniable lust. Only for me—all for me.
I gulped, my throat sore from his grip and still I asked for more. “Punish me, Alpha.”
He groaned, his covered cock hardened against me, and he inched closer. His lips brushed against my ear, and he teasingly ran his tongue from my ear down my neck, healing all the marks he had given me.
“You are driving me crazy,” he whispered.
“Do you want me to stop?”
A dark chuckle teased over my heated skin, goosebumps rose in its wake and a pleasurable shiver raked down my spine.
“Never, little bird. Defy me, always. Just never leave me.”
“I won’t,” I breathed.
