Morgan
My brain was scrambledfrom arousal. I wasn’t even in heat but Dax’s kiss had lit a fire in my blood that refused to be put out. I was enjoying myself greatly before he’d suddenly pulled away and left. I knewwhyhe did it—he wasn’t trying to sway my opinion and wanted me to choose for myself. But fuck, if it wasn’t annoying for him to leave right when I was at peak arousal.
My body acted before my brain, which wasn’t working anyway. I shifted into my buck form and chased Dax down. When I’d found him at the stream, I shifted back and announced my presence.
“You know, wolf,” I said huffily, “getting a man horny and then running away from him is extremely rude.”
Dax’s jaw dropped. Judging by his shocked expression, he was surprised to see me. He laughed sheepishly. “Sorry.”
“If you’re really sorry, then fix it.”
Dax stood up so we faced each other. Desire burned in his eyes, but he was holding back and we both knew it.
“Morgan,” he mumbled. “Is this what you want?”
My hole twitched in anticipation, wanting him.
“Yes,” I said bluntly.
Dax swallowed with a thick sound. There was a serious expression on his face now. “None of us carry condoms. If we do this, you might get pregnant.”
I smirked. “Surely you know me better than that by now.”
“How so?”
I found his hands and squeezed them gently. “Dax. Iwantchildren. I want a family, and you’re the only alpha who’s ever offered to give me one.”
Dax raised an eyebrow. “So that’s the only reason you want me? Because I’m your last hope?”
“Ugh,” I groaned, even though I knew he was teasing me. “What happened to us being fated mates?”
His face split into a smug grin. “I know. I just wanted to hear you say it.” He ran his thumb over the back of my hand. “Do you believe me now?” he asked softly.
I gazed at him as I collected my thoughts. “If you told me my fated mate would be a wolf, I never would have believed you. But then again, I haven’t beennormalmy whole life. It seems only fitting that my mate would be a stinking carnivore.”
He cackled with laughter and I grinned.
“Is that what you think of me?” he growled, linking our fingers together. The possessive ring in his voice made me shiver with pleasure. Before I could reply, he ran his hand down my front and cupped my cock through my pants. I groaned. One touch and I was ready to give in.
“Are we far away enough from your pack?” I asked in a hoarse voice.
Dax was already stripping while I admired his body. “Why?”
“Deer aren’t known for being…quietduring mating.”
That seemed to amuse Dax. “Then don’t be.”
He eased me to the ground and got to work shedding my clothes. The cool air was pleasant against my hot skin, but Dax’s warm, firm hands were even better. His touch was dominant and confident. He knew exactly what he wanted and he was going to take it from me.
When we were both naked, Dax paused. His eyes raked greedily over my body while I did the same to him. Fuck, he was gorgeous, all muscle and hair.
And that cock…
Well, let’s just say it was a good thing I was a large omega.
“Your herd was full of fools,” Dax growled suddenly. His hands roamed over my chest.
“I know,” I replied dryly. “But for discussion’s sake, why do you say that?”
