The concern she’s showing me grates on my nerves. She shouldn’t give a shit about me. Just like I’m trying not to give a shit about her.
“Sit,” I snap, frustrated with the conflicting emotions battling in my brain.I’m not used to this type of thinking.
She sits.
Immediately.
“Closer.”
She scoots closer so that her knee is barely touching mine.
The way she automatically follows my instructions makes a satisfied purr rise from my chest.
Her eyes go wide at the sound, her strawberry shortcake scent sweetening and exploding out from her in a way that makes my pulse thrum through my veins.
“Turn around,” I snap.
Her brows go down, but she slowly spins so her back is facing me.
She lets out a startled squeak as I pull her to my chest, my front meeting her back.
Her skin is cold to the touch and still damp from when she was hosed down.
Now that she’s pressed up against my body, I can feel just how badly she’s shivering from the cold.
The fuckers in charge here seriously didn’t give a shit whether she died. If I didn’t offer her my body heat, she wouldn’t have survived till morning.
Even though we’re right at the start of spring, it gets cold here at night.
“Th—thank you,” she says.
“Don’t thank me. I’m only doing this so you don’t fucking die. I don’t want you reading into this,” I snap.
“Oh,” she says, glancing over her shoulder at me.
The motion inadvertently bares her neck to me. Despite the fucking collar they have on her neck, my gaze instantly narrows on the exposed skin.
It would be so easy to kill her.
Sink my teeth into her and rip her throat out.I’ve done it before to people willing to put up a much bigger fight than she would.
Or I could sink my teeth into her neck and make her mine.
Where thefuckdid that thought come from? Why the hell do her eyes—her magical wide, innocent, bright doe eyes—make me think such ridiculous bullshit?
“Stop looking at me,” I snap.
She flinches and jerks her head forward, inadvertently pressing her ass into my throbbing cock.
The two of us freeze as a menacing growl leaves my chest.
Fuck.
She’s driving me crazy. Absolutely, batshit insane.
I have anomega. Right in fucking front of me. Her bare pussy inches away from my throbbing cock.
I could take her right here. No one would stop me. Bend her over on her hands and knees and fuck her until she’s begging for my knot.
