And I went with it.

“I’m sure,” I murmured, answering the question he hadn’t asked out loud.

His gaze flicked to my lips, his fingers tightening against my waist. For a moment, he hesitated, his expression caught somewhere between desire and restraint.

“You don’t have to hold back,” I whispered, my lips against his ear. “Not with me.”

I glanced over Thorne’s shoulder to see the pack watching us—not with judgment, but with quiet curiosity. Magnus stood by the fire, his expression inscrutable, but calm. Callum had leaned back against a log, his gray eyes warm with approval, while Killian’s smile was as wide as ever. Tobias, ever the silent one, simply observed, his dark knowing stare focused on us.

I turned my attention back to Thorne, leaning in to press my forehead against his.

“Ignore them,” I murmured, my lips meeting his as I spoke.

He inhaled sharply, his fingers sliding from my waist to the small of my back, pulling me closer until there was no space left between us. “You make that easy,” he said, his voice low and rough.

“Good,” I said, smiling against his lips.

I kissed him again, slower this time, letting the heat simmer as I explored the warmth of his mouth. His hands tightened on my back, his restraint slipping as he deepened the kiss, his tongue sliding against mine in a way that sent a shiver racing down my spine.

My heart pounded, my body tingling with the closeness of him, the press of his hands, the intensity in his gaze. It wasn’t just the kiss—it was the way he held me, the way he looked at me like I was something precious, like I was someone worth protecting.

I dropped my hips and rolled them again, dragging my pussy up and down the thick length of his cock. He was so hard I could feel him throbbing beneath me even through the fabric of his well-worn jeans.

The sensation made my pulse quicken, and I couldn’t resist the urge to grind myself harder against him, feeling him pulse and twitch.

A low growl escaped his lips, the sound vibrating against me, and the realization that I could get him to make that noise had me so wet that my pants were probably soaked through.

“I need you,” I gasped, my words coming out in a breathy plea.

His hands gripped my hips, his fingers digging into my flesh as he pulled me closer, kissing me hard enough to leave me dizzy.

I reached down between us, my fingers fumbling with his belt buckle. His hands found mine, stilling my movements. My cheeks burned, a rush of embarrassment making my pulse race.

“Did I do something wrong?”

“No, sweet girl,” Thorne said, his voice softer than before. “Not at all.”

His hands left mine, his own fingers fumbling with the button and zipper on his jeans. Relief washed over me as I realized he was only slowing things down, not stopping them.

I reached for him again when he freed himself, the smooth skin of his cock hot against my palm. Lazily, I stroked him with my fingers, just dragging the tips along the velvety surface of his dick, then went to the crown, gathering a pearl of pre-cum and swirling it around the head, before I shifted backwards and knelt before him.

I glanced down at his cock and then back up at him before I opened my mouth and flicked it with my tongue.

“Oh, love, you’re going to be the death of me,” he murmured.

CHAPTER 12

Thorne

Zara knelt before me, her dark blue eyes alight, playful and dangerous all at once. The firelight flickered against her skin, catching the curve of her cheek, the tilt of her lips. She was watching me, waiting, as if daring me to make the next move.

She hadn’t stopped tracing her fingers up and down my cock.

It was fucking heaven on Earth.

My pulse was steady, my breathing calm—but only on the surface. Inside, there was a fire I hadn’t expected, an ache that clawed at my composure with every flick of her gaze, every subtle shift of her body, every bold swipe of her tongue against my dick.

“Careful,” I murmured, my voice low and sharp. I leaned forward, my elbows resting on my knees as I looked down at her. “You keep teasing me, and I’ll take you over my knee and spank your bare ass bright red.”
