Page 99 of Fated to the Wolf Billionaire

“I said yes to the venom. And now, I’m saying yes to you. I’malwayssaying yes to you. Please, please don’t make me ache like this until it wears off?”

She whined again, and damn it all, a line of tears formed on her lower lashes.

Fucking vampires.

I threaded my fingers into her carefully pinned hair and hauled her back against my chest.

“I’m going to take care of you, but we have to be careful. If you keep making noises like that, you’re going to send me into rut, and I’m not going to be able to keep my head on straight until we’re out of vampire territory and safely in the air to get back to the pack.”

“I’m sorry.” Her bottom lip started trembling as a tear broke free and trailed down her cheek. Something feral inside me snapped. She’d done this for my pack. There was no way I was letting her suffer for it, not even if it was a bad idea.

“You don’t owe me any apologies, Stormy girl. We’ll get through this together. Come here.” I leaned her against me, then reached behind her to unzip the dress. She happily shimmied out of it, and I tossed it to the floor of the limo as she peeled off her bra.

Blood had trickled down her neck, dried and sticky now as it trailed over the top of her breast. The sight was not helping me keep control, because bonding bites were often exchanged during heats, and my wolf was responding to her needy whimpers as ifshewas going into heat. Feeling her burning need mirrored in my own chest was new and distracting.

I could feel the rut rising, the desire to sink my fangs into the other side of her neck making them drop heavy in my mouth as my dick throbbed against the zipper of my pants.

I counted backward from ten as I swiped away the blood with my thumb, resisting the urge to lick it off. Any residual venom wouldn’t have the same effect on me that it did on her, and I couldn’t afford to get secondhand venom poisoning if I needed to watch our backs from possible vampire attack.

Slightly more settled, I laid her back across the bench seat, following her down so my weight settled over her. She arched and sighed, clearly enjoying the fact that I was giving her more of what she wanted.

Starting on the unbitten side of her neck, I nipped and kissed, then eased the sting with my tongue as I kissed my way down her bare chest. Her hips rolled against me as I worshipped her breasts, circling one nipple with my tongue before moving to the other.

I had barely started when she began to shake, another orgasm rolling through as she whimpered and writhed on the seat. I swallowed her cries in a kiss, knowing there was only so much jazz could cover, and I wasnotsharing anything else of hers today. Not a single sound of pleasure; they were only mine.

“Reed?” Her voice shook when she placed a hand on my chest, stopping me where I’d worked my way back down to her hips.

“What is it?” My gaze was sharpened when I looked up at her, and I knew she was seeing my wolf’s eyes, but I couldn’t pull him back. The jealousy spike had brought him back to the forefront.

“I’m not sure I can get on the plane right now.” She held up one shaking, blue hand, and I realized that her own eyes were glowing amber, her djinn side making itself known as she rode the waves of pleasure.

Fuck.

“Are you in control?” I took her hand in mine, rising over her again to pin it over her head to the plush seat beneath us. “I can stop.”

“Please don’t stop. I want— I need you not to stop, but I don’t think it’s smart to get in an aircraft if I’m, I’m?—”

“Okay, that’s all right. It’s going to be okay.” I kissed her hard, then sat up, pressing the button for the intercom to the driver. “Change of plans. I need you to take us to the Zodiaque Resort Vegas, and then drive to the airport and out of town. If the vampires ask, you dropped us off at the airport after picking up our bags, and we were headed for the nearest pack in California.”

I dropped the intercom button, not waiting for him to answer. The driver, who I’d scented on the way past him as he held the door for me, was lesser fae. He’d know what to do and also not to cross me and report back to the vampires anything other than what I’d told him.

I had nursed Fiona through another orgasm by the time we arrived, barely managing to keep my wolf in check with the fact that she wasn’t safe yet. Her safety came first, even above an impending rut, which was driving me to claim her.

She whined as I pulled the dress back over her head to carry her through the lobby, but I hushed her with a kiss. I carried her past the check-in desk and the goblin running it, and within a minute, we were back in our top-floor suite, finally alone and safe.

I carried her to the bed, my hands trembling as I set her down.

“Reed? Are you okay?” She grabbed my hands, worry breaking through the fog of lust she’d been swaddled in for a moment as if she could sense my predicament.

“I’m fine. Just trying not to go out of my mind. The rut… I wasn’t kidding before when I said you were saving me. The darkness is heavy, the desire to just let loose… I can’t afford to lose control like that.”

She pressed up to her knees, wrapping her arms around my neck.

“What can I do? How can I help?” Even her whispered offer was a balm for my jagged control. She was safe, right here in my arms.

“Just be yourself. I might… I might not be able to hold back when the edge is this close. I don’t want to be too rough with you.”

She grinned up at me, then took my bottom lip between her teeth, tugging lightly as she bit down. “What if I like it rough sometimes?”
