“How about we see who can devour the other the most?” Torin kisses me, hard and demanding.

Then he stops, pulling away to look searchingly into my eyes. “You came looking for me.”

“Of course I did.”

“I wanted to protect you. The point was that you remained safe in my bedroom.”

“Was it?” I say, feigning unconvincing ignorance. “Jin and Cricket are out searching as well. None of us will be abandoned. We’re pack.”

Torin looks lost for a moment and then awe-struck.

He cradles my face, licking away my drying tears. “Don’t cry for me again.”

I let out a raspy laugh. “Tough. I’m an independent Omega. You don’t control my tears.”

“Then I’ll poke out the eyes of anyone who makes you cry,” he declares, “and make them weep blood.”

I tilt my head. “With that type of romance, have I told you how much you’ll get on with my older brother?”

“Romance, huh?” Torin leans forward, as if to kiss me but hovers just far enough from my lips that I whine in yearning.

I part my mouth, desperate for his taste. His vanilla tea scent deepens in his desire, surrounding me.

I buck forward on the branch, claiming his lips. I ache and tremble with the memory of every moment throughout the long night and dawn that I’d been terrified Torin was gone.

But he’s not.

I’ve found him. He’s solid and real and in my arms right now.

He must feel my desperation because he kisses me back just as hard. He slides his hands round to my back, steadying me.

He pushes up my blouse, playing with the frills. “Change of style, hmm? I miss the punky leather, little sheep.”

He traces up my sides underneath the blouse, and I shiver,

I growl, nipping at his lower lip. “I’m still a wolf. And I still bite.”

Torin’s eyes spark, as he nips my lip back. “So do I.”

Then he laves over the bite with his tongue, before kissing me deeper. His tongue intertwines with mine.

Being claimed like this in the branches of a tree with the danger that if we move too much, then we could fall, is exhilarating.

I’m beginning to understand why Jin enjoys stepping so close to the edge of a cliff. Sometimes, I think that falling off would feel like flying.

When Torin draws back, his pupils are dilated.

We’re both breathing fast. His blue gaze locks with mine.

I lose myself in the frozen depths of him.

“One good thing about your new clothes…” Torin flips my skirt up and out of the way, before his silky voice whispers across my tingling skin, “easier for me to fuck you as a reward. Now hold on tight to me.”

“Will this hurt?”

“We’ll be careful and do this in a way where you do most of the work. I’m lazy like that anyway.”

I clutch onto Torin’s shoulders, white-knuckled, while avoiding his back. The branch isn’t wide.
