Jacob thought about it for a moment. “Yeah, leave it there but bring her things here.”

“Already on it,” Gunner said. “Is it okay to bring it to your place?”

“Yes. She’s napping.”

“All right. We’ll see you in a few minutes.”

Jacob hung up and then glanced out the window. He needed to check into this guy more to see how much of a threat he was. He wasn’t going to let anything else happen to his mate.

His brothers showed up, and the three of them unloaded her things, but it didn’t take long because there was very little. He wondered if it was because she had a few things or if the man had taken something. They set everything in one of the bedrooms for her to go through later.

If that bastard did take her things, Jacob vowed he’d get them back for her.

“Thanks again, guys.”

“You’re welcome. Take care of your mate and call if you need anything.”

“I will.” He watched them drive away before he turned to go back inside.

He started making coffee but knew his mate would need him again. It was easier for him because this kind of pain wasn’t anything close to what he was experiencing before Sage came into his life.

“Jacob.”

He turned to see his sweet mate leaning against the wall in nothing but his t-shirt.

“I’m coming.” He picked her up, took her back to bed, stripped her of the shirt, and then pulled his own clothing off.

Her nails were digging into his chest. “Please don’t make me wait.”

“I won’t, baby.” He slammed his cock into her and rode her hard. He couldn’t get over the sensation that every time they fucked, his core personality grew and strengthened. He’d heard about the sensations of mating, but what he was going through far surpassed anything he’d been told.

It didn’t take but a few minutes for them both to come. The world around him dimmed as he shot his seed deep inside of her body.

Jacob rested on his elbows, keeping himself from putting all his weight on her. His cock was still hard and embedded in her. There was no way he’d pull out of her when he planned to fuck her again as soon as he caught his breath.

They were both getting sore, but the mating heat was taking over, and they needed to appease it enough to function. The fact they hadn’t been able to fuck after he found her was because she was injured. Now that she was healed, the heat came back larger and hotter.

“How are you?” he asked.

“I need you again.”

“I know, baby. Relax for me and enjoy.”

They fucked two more times when they could both take a breath without pain twisting the knots in their stomachs. The last time, he could feel her body ease.

“Fuck, baby, come for me.”

Her nails ran down his back as her body bowed off the mattress, and a scream tore from her throat. He rammed into her several more times until he came inside of her.

He rolled them to the side and carefully pulled his cock out, making them both flinch. His cock was raw, and he’d never heard of that before that moment.

He held her tightly against his chest and rested.

Jacob felt her start to fall asleep. “Not yet, Mate. I need to feed and wash you before you go to sleep.” He grinned when she muttered something about pigs. “Let’s get you washed.”

He lifted her from the mattress and carried her into the bathroom. It was spacious and fancier than any other bathroom he’d been in. His grandmother loved her room, which was handy for his grandfather because he had arthritis, so they put in a deep bathtub with a Jacuzzi and a separate shower.

“Do you want a bath or shower?” he asked.
