The feeling of having him inside of me was indescribable. I knew I shouldn’t want this. How could I after what I’d learned, but I also wasn’t certain I could let the incredible passion we shared go.

He pulled almost all the way out, driving into me again. With every hard thrust I felt myself spiraling toward ecstasy.

I tried to keep my eyes open, smiling from the way beads of sweat were trickling down both sides of his angular face. He was even more handsome now.

If that was possible.

There were no other words spoken, only moans and growls as we fucked. I shoved my knees into his sides as I slapped one hand over my head. Did he have any idea what he was doing to me?

Or how I felt?

My body was so on fire I could barely breathe, my pussy constricting in a way that pulled his cock in even deeper.

Jax rolled onto the balls of his feet, the angle different.

“Oh, my goodness.” A nervous and excited laugh slipped past my lips. To have this moment in time was special. And wild. And rough.

And something that shouldn’t happen.

No. I refused to allow my mind to interfere.

He thrust harder and faster and I sensed he was reading my mind all over again. He wasn’t going to let me go without my realization he would never hurt me.

At least not in the way I’d worried about.

My body reacted to his brutal fucking, an orgasm sweeping all the way up from my toes. As the delightful sensations crossed a new threshold, I clawed the wall with all ten fingers. Just gasping for air was laborious.

Stars sparkled in front of my eyes and I finally let go, allowing the orgasm to take me to my special place of nirvana.

He wasn’t finished, continuing to thrust until I finally wrapped my arms around his neck. I was breathless, exhausted in the best way. That’s when I felt his body stiffen, his muscles tensing. A smile crossed my face as I clenched my pussy one more time.

There was no great howl from the powerful wolf, just a deep sigh that permeated the space as he erupted deep inside.

But I sensed his concern was growing, his worry not just for my safety.

I also knew and tried to accept that he would do everything in his power to keep his pack, his family, and the woman he’d just met from harm’s way.

Including foregoing his humanity.

What I feared the most was for how long.

CHAPTER 23

Jax

Scientists of any kind were taught to believe that there was always an answer for an oddity. A drug, a disease, a weather condition. Something caused the various disturbances in life.

Yet in this situation, the answer Sedona was seeking wasn’t easy to find.

Or one she could scientifically accept.

“How many are coming to the meeting?” I asked Riker. I’d called both brothers to establish a meeting of Alpha members of those tied to the Cartersville pack I knew who would aid in determining a plan of moving forward. Every male had been at the council meeting, most reacting just like Chase.

However, they were strong and able bodied, men and women refusing to give in completely to the spoils of being human. Our females were just as strong as our males. They would be useful in several ways.

But only if they agreed to work with me.

So many of our pack had scattered to other cities, accepting jobs and promotions or being close to their kids as they went off to college. We still had a solid number within or near Cartersville, but without knowing the kind of numbers we could be facing if things went to shit, I doubted it would be enough.
