She just plain growled, the rolling guttural sound her indication it might be time to cool things off. Only she didn’t want to. Not yet.

But waiting would only make it worse.

As she went to pull away, his lips chose to forge a path down her jawline to her neck. She shivered and readied to put a stop to his petting, only to freeze as he nipped her with his teeth.

Not hard, yet hard enough. A sharp pinch of flesh that calmed her wolf and allowed her to sigh instead of pushing him away.

His fingers slid up the hem of her dress, teasing her bare skin. Her knees went weak, and yet she didn’t crumple. He held her snug as he sat in a chair and tugged her onto his lap. She panted hotly as he slid his hand over her thigh before delving under the edge of her panties.

At the stroke of his fingers against her, she cried out, and her hips twitched. She’d never gotten this far before, and her emotions boiled, hard enough she could feel herself?—

His teeth pinched her neck again, calming the lycan but not the pleasure as his fingers slid over her clit before parting her pussy lips to tease the entrance of her sex. Her breath caught ashe pushed partially in, her muscles involuntarily clenching him tight.

He kissed her, relaxing her with his finesse, easing her enough he pushed his finger deeper and paused.

There was a note of incredulity in his voice—which sounded hoarse—as he whispered, “You’re a virgin?”

Her cheeks heated. “Yes,” her soft reply.

A rumble went through him as he murmured, “Thank you for waiting for me.”

Not so much waiting as never able to get this far. But perhaps it was for the best, because in his lap, his arms, under his touch, she felt things she’d never felt. And while her inner self pulsed, it didn’t burst through. Something about Dante kept her wolf in check.

Maybe she had been waiting for him. Knew that no one else would ever do.

“Shall we adjourn to the bed?” he asked even as he rose, holding her princess-style.

“Yes, please.” A little too enthusiastic but, in her defense, she’d thought she’d never make it this far with a man.

As he carried her to the bedroom, a knock at the door had his head turning sharply, and he snapped, “Go away. We’re having dinner.”

“It’s an emergency, sir.”

Dante yelled back, “Unless this ship is on fire, it can wait.”

“Not fire, sir, pirates. We’ve been boarded.”

Chapter 10

The last thingDante wanted to do was leave Selene. His cock ached. His balls were tight. She was soft and pliant in his arms. Her lips swollen from his kisses. Add in her scent, which drove him mad, and he wanted nothing more than to finish what they’d started.

However… He couldn’t ignore the situation.

With a sigh, he set Selene on her feet. “It would appear I have business to attend.”

“Why you?” she queried, a crease between her brows. “Isn’t it up to the captain and the crew to handle these pirates?”

Since he’d never truly explained his reason for being on the cruise, her confusion had merit. “By business, I simply meant finding out what’s being done to safeguard passengers.”

“You think we’re in danger?” She moved from him and hugged herself, chewing her lower lip.

“I don’t know. Let me go see what I can discover. With any luck, these boarding miscreants will steal a few jewels and wallets and sail away.”

“And if they don’t?”

A question he couldn’t easily reply. “What else would they do?”

Her expression hardened. “I’d rather not find out. I hate thieves.”
