When she slid her hand into Rafe’s, he yanked her toward him and planted his lips on hers in a death-defying kiss. She wasn’t even sure if that was a thing, but it sure felt like it with how his tongue swiped at her tongue, seeking control. He didn’t even care that she still had traces of Tiernan’s cum on her lips. There was a wildness to Rafe she hadn’t seen before, a desperation.
There were no words as he pushed his pants down low on his hips, lifted one of her legs to wrap around him, and curved his hands under her ass. With a slight hop, she wrapped her other leg around him, and he pressed her back against the wall to the left of the fireplace.
Her nails dug into his back as he drove his cock into her sensitive pussy. His thrusts started out forceful, frenzied, never quite giving her body the chance to calm since her last orgasm. Even as the flames from the fire licked at her, adding a sense of danger to being taken so roughly, the tendrils of another orgasm danced along every nerve, sparking a lust in her that made her nip at his earlobes.
“Fuck yes, Artemis. Get rough with me,” he said as he thrust so hard, striking some untouched spot, that stars burst behind her eyes.
Her entire body squeezed him, from her pussy to her legs and her arms that had wrapped around him. She’d never had an orgasm so powerful that it left her mind numb and her body aching to be taken as if she could not breathe without him.
Another few thrusts and Rafe threw his head back, roaring as he released into her. As his head lifted, the green fire of his eyes locked on her. From the animalistic growl that traveled down her spine to those rock-hard muscles that kept her from moving, she knew without a doubt that he was an alpha.
“You are mine, Artemis. Don’t you ever forget it. I will always come for you. Nothing and no one will keep me from you.”
Rafe’s scent, woodsy, masculine—raw power—imprinted on her in a way she didn’t understand, but her entire body needed. Beyond any doubt she’d ever had, she needed this male.
“I guess you’re glad to see me,” she teased.
He rocked his hips, pressing a still hard cock against her tender pussy. “If I didn’t make that clear, Artemis, then I’ll have to show you again how much I need you.”
A floorboard to her left creaked. As she turned her head, she glimpsed Tiernan entering the bedroom. The door clicked shut behind him.
“Artemis?” Rafe asked, his brows pinched in concern.
She tapped his shoulder until he lowered her to her feet. With the loss of his body against her, she shivered. He removed his sweater and pulled it down over her. It hung to her thighs, like a short but very warm dress. As she folded the sleeves up to her wrists, she reveled in his scent. “I may never give this back to you.”
“I like you wearing my clothing. It’s almost as good as you wearing my scent. It tells other males to stay away from you.”
“I hope that doesn’t include Tiernan.” She jutted her chin toward the closed bedroom door.
“If I objected to Tiernan’s dick down your throat and his head buried in your pussy, he would have been dead the second I entered this cabin.”
“You scare him.”
“Tiernan scared? Hardly! That shifter isn’t scared of anyone, but he knows his place.”
“His place?” Tiernan hadn’t been exaggerating. Rafe was a born alpha, and he’d been taking control of their little group without her realizing it. Well, that ended today.
“He’s a scout, Artemis.”
“No, Rafe, he’s a shifter. No different from you.”
Rafe huffed. “Quite different. But you don’t understand. You can’t understand.”
“That’s right. I’m not shifter. At least not in your eyes. But it doesn’t matter what I am or what position Tiernan or any of you served in your packs. It matters how we treat one another. Didn’t you learn anything from what happened at the training facility?”
“I learned that you have a lot of enemies, and I need Tiernan and Maddox to help keep you safe. It’s why I let them have you.”
“Why youletthem…” She couldn’t believe he was saying this. She thought she knew him better. Tiernan had been right. Alphas took charge… and anything else they wanted.
Patience. She needed patience. “No one denies you’re an alpha, Rafe, but I’m involved with all three of you.Equally. Do you understand that? If you try to dominate over them, to take control of how we are together, then—”
“Then what?”
“Then I can’t be with you.”
“I said I’d share you.”
“This is about more than sharing. It’s about accepting that I care about Maddox and Tiernan. You need to respect that I love them.”
