No. No control with me was allowed, not when we were like this.

I slowed my hand motions along his cock while reaching up with my other hand, cupping his balls and gently massaging. A vibration through his chest told me he enjoyed that. I tugged softly, just enough to pull the skin taut, bringing his balls further from his body before taking them into my mouth, only able to fit one at a time.

The shudder that coursed through his body caused him to slide slightly further down the tree as he threw his head back and took deep breaths, as if reminding himself to breathe.

No. I didn’t want him to regulate his breathing. I wanted him utterly breathless and gasping.

I cupped his sack once more, licking and suckling my way up the underside until I reached where the skin met the back again. I let his balls fall against my cheek, drawing circles along the sensitive spot, clenching my hand down on his shaft and watching as pre-cum coated the tip of his cock.

Kage couldn’t breathe, his whole body shaking. A few more swipes of my tongue, and he snapped.

His hand left his thigh, and he grabbed a fistful of my hair, pulling me up so I was face-to-face with the enraged head of his cock. I was ready for him, I saw the feral look in his eyes. He didn’t pause, no time to think, as he drove his cock into my waiting mouth, thrusting up while pulling my head down. I could feel him at the back of my throat, and further still, with each thrust.

I breathed through my nose as best as I could to let him have this. I so wanted him to have this. To take me, choke me, drown me,consumeme.

I braced myself with my hands on his thick thighs, tears streaming down my face while I fought against my gag reflex.

And then he exploded.

Throwing his head back and releasing a roar that shook the trees, Kage shot his cum down my throat, pulsing against my tongue. The scent of spiced alcohol filled my senses, and the sight of goose bumps coating his sweat-slicked body was something that would forever burn in my memory.

Kage wasmymate. I owned every moment of his unsuppressed emotions. He wasmine.

Gently, completely at odds with how he had been pulling on me, Kage tugged me off his cock. He gathered me in his arms and lifted me against his wet chest, still breathing raggedly. Burying his nose into my neck, he took deep breaths. He wasn’t calming himself down; he was soaking in my scent, a purr vibrating his chest and relaxing me.

“Why did you do that?” he asked. “Why do you make me feel so—”

“What?” I asked, my voice raspy, my throat a little bruised.

He pulled away, gazing at me as if I was his entire world. “Real.”

A hot flash rolled through my body, the cramping in my belly grabbing hold of me with a force that had me crying out.

“You need me,” Kage said, slipping his hand between my thighs. My pussy throbbed with heat, my thigh slick and covered.

“No!” I cried out, because I didn’t need his fingers. I didn’t want them. My body had tasted his cock, and that was all I wanted. I wanted the hot, pulsing liquid to coat my insides this time. But the pain was so intense, I couldn’t form words.

Come to me, a voice called. My wolf, lost in the haze of the heat, took over.Come to me, mate.I stumbled from Kage’s arms and shifted, my wolf in complete control. In her mind, Isaw the one she sought out. The one she knew would end the torture and take her. In my mind, I saw red glowing eyes.

LILA

Running through the forest was second nature to me. I knew these woods as if they were my own backyard. Out here, there was no limit.

Breaking through the tree line and entering the city was something entirely different. Time didn’t matter, and direction wasn’t an issue. The only driving force was my instinctual need to get to Rainor. The beast called out to me in my mind, and I knew where he was. There was no thinking involved; it just was.

My claws clicked against the sidewalk, my paws ripping against the cement, but I continued running. Humans screamed, diving out of my way. In dark alleys and through open windows, I could hear howls, each one distinct, each one alerting others to my descent through the city.

Then the scents came. So many different scents, mainly masculine but also the odd female. I wasn’t sure how I knew, but I did. Just like I knew exactly which building Rain would be in.

Lila, enough!Kage was calling to me, but somehow, he was far away. I ignored the phones, the pictures, the gawkers, and the onlookers. Waves of the heat racked through me, tearing me up inside, driving me mad, and I knew the only way to settle it was to get tohim.

Let her in!Kage’s voice within me rose above the howls that sounded off in the streets. Then a howl ripped through the city, shaking windows. Some humans fell down, startled at the sound. And it abruptly stopped every other howl that had been sounding. Kage had silenced his pack.

I could only imagine what the humans would think.

I ran to a tall condo building, leaping over steps to where a valet held open the door. I paid him no attention; I wanted nothing from anyone else. Throwing my head up, I frantically searched for the smoky scent I so desperately needed to consume me.
