He shakes his head. “The pain would be pleasurable, and the wound would heal instantly. But for a human, a mating bite could be fatal if I hit the wrong spot. You’ll bleed and scar. I heard Madi scream when Brick marked her.”
Shock ripples through me. I should’ve pumped more information from Madi.
“You were there?”
“Yes. We were there to protect Madi. When an alpha wolf doesn’t find his fated mate or worse, finds her and doesn’t mark her, he can turn feral. We call it moon madness. The wolf takes over, and the human is lost and has to be put down.”
My mouth rounds into a silent “O”. My eyes probably match the shape.
“Brick went moon mad?”
“Yes. We nearly lost him.”
The memory of Ruby coming to get Madi and begging for her help after they broke up returns.
”So he was nearly mad when he bit her.”
Something about Billy quiets. He can see where I’m going with this. “Yes.”
“But you’re perfectly sane right now.” I touch his cheek and massage the shell of his ear. “I know you don’t like to lose control. Even when we’re having sex and you let go at the end, you seem to pull back and try to snap it all together afterwards.”
Billy props his head up with one arm and cups my breast with his free hand, thumbing over my nipple. “You saw that?”
I nod. “And you said you didn’t like losing control in front of me at the wedding with your dad.”
He scrubs a hand over his face. “I hate that you saw me that way.”
“I don’t,” I insist. “I’m not afraid of that guy. I know you would never hurt me.” I press a kiss to his lips. “I want to see all your parts and pieces. Even the ugly ones. Even the parts you’re ashamed of. I love you, Billy. That means all of you. I didn’t walk away because I saw something I didn’t like. I walked because you weren’t willing to share all of you with me.”
Vulnerability flashes on Billy’s face, and for once, he doesn’t shutter his expression.
“So go wild with me. Let yourself off the leash. I love that you have a powerful animal side, Billy. Mark my body with your teeth and show me what it’s like to be claimed.”
And just like that, his control snaps.
I find myself pinned on my back. Billy yanks my shorts and panties the rest of the way off.
He unzips his pants, and I reach for his erection.
I’ve never seen his eyes quite so silver. And his canines are definitely long and sharp. He’s going to bite me with those. A shiver of excitement jolts through me.
“Condom,” I choke when he forgets and starts pushing into me. “Unless you want to start on those pups now.”
I don’t know what makes me say it, but it feels right. I wasn’t lying when I said I was all in. I want this whole thing with Billy–marriage, family, everything.
He freezes on his reach to the bedside table.
“Yes.” His voice doesn’t sound human. The deep growl from his chest is otherworldly.
He shoves into me, spearing me with his erection, plowing deep on the first thrust.
I gasp and brace my hand against the headboard.
“I’m going to put my pup in you, Aubrey White.” He rocks in and out.
“Not taking your name,” I interject, but I smile from ear to ear. We’re getting married. This is crazy.
“I’m putting my pup in you, Aubrey Cook-White,” he amends and continues to thrust into me, holding my shoulder to keep me from flying toward the headboard.
