Though I haven’t forgotten, his admonishment is well received. “I understand.”
“Good. Now tell your face and body that because both are giving off the vibe that you’re an absolute heathen intent only on fucking her into next Tuesday.”
It’s true. I am a heathen, and my mate is about to find that out firsthand.
Grinning proudly, I shrug. “She’s our mate. She’ll get used to my animalistic ways.”
Oren swipes his badge and the suite door opens. “After you.”
I can smell her the moment I step inside the room. Her fragrance is the most alluring thing I’ve ever scented. If I thought I was edgy before, now I’m practically crawling out of my skin with need. My flesh prickles with goosebumps and my lungs burn like I can’t get enough air.
Following that magical scent, I see that she’s alone with a man in the shared living room space. I unexpectedly growl with anger the second I spot him. Who is this intruder and why is he sitting so close to our mate? I won’t have it. I’ll kill him first!
Aurora, sitting on the couch beside the interloper, looks up in distress. Our eyes meet and it’s as if my world falls into alignment for the first time. I know I’ve promised Oren I’ll be gentle, but now I know I can’t.
I need her.
Not just to come inside of her lush body, but to possess her totally and completely. Without thought, I growl again and begin to advance on the Voltan male sitting next to my mate.
Oren places his hand on my chest and says, “Thank you, Colton. That will be all for tonight. Knox and I wish to be alone with Aurora.”
Colton doesn’t need to be told twice. Gathering his belongings, he bows his head as he hurriedly exits our suite.
“Is that better?” Oren says quietly so only I can hear him.
I take a moment to compose myself and then nod, but I’m still vibrating with rage. I’m not sure I’ll be free of this negative energy until I have her in my arms.
“Come over here, Aurora,” Oren orders.
I see the fear in her eyes and I remind myself to relax. At over seven feet tall, I know I’m an intimidating sight. The uniform and the weapons don’t help any.
When I catch Aurora looking at my utility belt where a multitude of guns and knives are strapped, I begin to unbuckle it. What I have in mind doesn’t require any of those. The only weapon I need is throbbing hard against my leg, causing my pants to bulge.
“Aurora,” Oren prompts, “We’re waiting.”
CHAPTER 12
Aurora
The Voltan warrior standing beside Oren can’t take his hungry eyes off me. And I can’t take mine off him.
He’s massive. One of the biggest males I’ve ever seen. Handsome, in an intense sort of way, and ruggedly masculine. His skin is a deep bronze from hours spent out in the sun, and his hair is a lush, flaxen-gold. There’s only one person this can be. He’s the other member of our threesome. The one we’ve all been waiting for.
Knox.
The powerful warrior that everyone seems too afraid of to even talk about. Given Colton’s earlier behavior, and his nearly running from the room when the enormous man growled, tells me this soldier isn’t one to mess with.
That growl alone was enough to give me a heart attack. And make me wet. I’ve soaked through my panties, my arousaldripping down my thighs when he issues that heavy, vocal threat a second time.
Though I’ve never seen a picture of him, I know I’m right. This is Knox. My Materi. The foreign word floats through my mind as we stare boldly at one another. Neither of us speak, but we’re saying a novel’s worth with our expressions and body language.
Our connection is just as powerful as it was when I first met Oren, maybe even more intense. Knox is akin to a feral animal, and his inner beast is fixed on me now, threatening to consume me whole if I should move the wrong way.
“Aurora!” Oren snaps sharply.
My legs shake as I stand. Steeling my spine, I move toward my first master, trying to ignore the hulking Voltan warrior standing beside him.
When I reach Oren, he lifts my chin so we’re gazing into one another’s eyes. “This is Knox, Kitten. Go greet your master. Please him like you do me.”
