Fuck. He’s looking at me as though I hung the moon and stars.

“Don’t youevertry to make yourself less than what you are,” he growls, and my whole body prickles with the force of his command. “You’ve been doing it for years, and to be honest, it’s making me want to hunt down every male in your pack and kill them for making you feel like you don’t deservethis.”

We both know he isn’t talking about the ukulele.

The sorry truth is that these last few days I’ve been his hostage, Adrian’s treated me better than Dane ever did.

A few stray tears roll down my cheeks, and I hurriedly wipe them away. My heart stutters, and a dangerous feeling wells up inside me. It expands every second Adrian holds my gaze with those honey-colored eyes, and suddenly, I can no longer contain it.

I burst out of my seat, and my hands go to Adrian’s shoulders as I press my lips against his.

For one horrible, unending moment, the alpha just sits there, frozen. But then his hands encircle my waist, and he pulls me into his lap.

CHAPTER ELEVEN

ADRIAN

My whole bodygoes into shock as Cassie’s mouth crashes over mine.

For more than a heartbeat, I just sit there, stunned, as her incense-and-rain scent wraps around me. Cassie’s lips are soft and sweet, but her kiss is full of desire.

It takes me a while to come back to reality, and when I do, my wolf roars with delight. A scorching heat floods my veins, and every cell in my body zeroes in on the beautiful female kissing me.

Instinctively, I reach for her and tug her into my lap. There’s a loudthwack!as the ukulele tumbles onto the table, and Cassie’s thighs come around me.

The sweet smell of feminine arousal mixes with her rich, smoky fragrance. Her scent pulls a groan from my lips as I drag my fingertips up her ribs. Cassie arches into my touch, and I am instantly hard.

Mine.

The word ricochets through my head like shrapnel, and this time, I don’t stuff it away. My wolf won’t allow me to deny what I feel any longer.

But then Cassie pulls back, and our lips separate with a loud smack. Her cheeks are flushed and her eyes are bright. She looks just as stunned as I am.

“I didn’t mean —” She shakes her head. “I’m sorry.”

“I’m not,” I growl, thrusting my hands into her sweet-smelling hair and pulling her mouth back against mine.

I’m done being sorry for how much I want this woman.

This time when we come together, my girl doesn’t hold back. Her breasts heave as she grinds against me, and my tenuous self-control snaps.

My lips blaze a trail down her jawline, her neck, and over the swells of her tits.

Cassie emits a breathy little “uh,” and that sound sends my wolf pushing to the fore.

A bitter taste coats my tongue, and my body roars with the need to fill her with my venom. To mark her. Claim her as mine.

I don’t have any memory of getting up, but a moment later, Cassie’s legs are locked around my waist, and I’m carrying her into the house. She bounces as I deposit her on my bed, and I rip off the sweatpants she’s wearing.

I climb on top of her to taste that sweet mouth again, but then I feel her clawing at my shirt, and I practically shred it in my haste to remove it.

A second later, I whip her borrowed shirt over her head and stare down at my beautiful mate.

My mate.

I am so incredibly fucked, but I can’t bring myself to care.

Cassie’s skin is a rich golden brown from months spent in the Colorado sun. It seems to glow in the flickering firelight, and her rosy nipples pebble as I take her in.
