I felt a smirk twitch across my lips from the defiance in her eyes. In the almost two years of being a monstrous beast, I’d found little could amuse me.
Her actions brought a hint of something I’d also tried not to allow. Emotions. Up until now, I’d been dead inside.
I took another step just to see how she’d react.
As I’d expected, but I was even more amused and surprised when she managed to snap the stick against my neck. This time she wasn’t horrified at her actions, instead her eyes flashing as if thrilled with managing to hit the big, bad beast.
When I kept my head to the side as if she’d inflicted pain, I sensed a hint of satisfaction in her. But there was more.
She was afraid, but her emotions and desires were also catching her off guard.
The little human was even more surprised with my quick actions when I snapped my hand around the stick, yanking her forward.
And directly into my arms.
Her gasp was subtle, lilting in a way that enticed my lion more than the man. She tried to push me away with her other hand, groaning when I didn’t budge.
I couldn’t lie to myself. Everything about her was fascinating. However, her being on this island could in no way be coincidental or for good intentions.
The reason she was here would remain a significant concern.
Her body fit against me perfectly and when she arched her back, the tiny moan was a clear indication she was aware of my animal attraction for her. She even rewarded me with a drag of her pink tongue across her bottom lip.
My mind shifted from the look of her succulent lips to thoughts of what her pretty pink pussy would look like. She was wet, that much I already knew by the raging scent of her desire. As a flush swept across her cheeks from embarrassment, the beast within me grew even more restless.
“Just let me go,” she said, her defiance still burning deep within.
“That’s not going to happen, little human.”
“Why do you call me that?”
Leaning forward, I took a deep and exaggerated whiff, huffing afterwards. “Because that’s what you are.”
“What does that make you?” Was she really asking me to tell her? I sensed she already knew the answer but was as unwilling to accept the idea as I was to accept any concept she was our mate.
Impossible.
“Bring her back, Zeus.”Thor’s mental link was as annoying as being forced to deal with her. My patience had worn thin.
After issuing a deep exhale, I ripped it from her hand, smashing it against the closest tree. When a piece broke off, it gave me a decent idea.
Yes, I would take her back. In doing so, I’d also give the pride what they needed to accept my authority as well as that of Thor and Titus.
With the thin stick remaining in my hand, I tossed her over my shoulder.
“We’re not doing this again!” she yelled, immediately pummeling her fists against my back. If she honestly believed that her tiny hands could cause any harm, she had no clue what kind of beast she was dealing with.
But her actions did bring another round of amusement while also keeping my cock throbbing. Maybe there was something about being in human form that I could consider pleasing after all.
While she cursed the ground I was walking on, swearing she’d get me for this, I kept a half smile on my face. A few seconds later, I was back inside the camp.
With her struggling in my arms, her commotion drew the attention of the others, including the two female lions that had been brought to the island with us. Neither of the two were shifters.
The why didn’t matter, although it would to the little human.
The scientist.
They were all eager to see what I had planned. When I put her down, she immediately began to struggle, cursing at me as if that would ultimately make a difference.
