The instant Sabine removed the needle from my arm, Brock, who hadn’t moved from my side, growled deep in his throat. The rumble was as primal as it got. Sabine gave him a look that said she’d be back to collect her equipment later and speed-walked out of there, leaving us alone in one of the large house’s many sitting rooms.
Neither one of us bothered with sparing her a second glance. Brock’s eyes burned as they bored into mine.
He slid an arm behind my back, another beneath my legs, and lifted me as he stood. With quick, determined strides, he cut across the house until we were at the door to his master bedroom. Shoving the door open, he closed it with his foot and pressed his lips against mine again.
The moments melded into a blur of disrobing. Boots, jeans, and shirts flew off so fast that I was sure we must have torn seams. The only thing I paused for was to remove my katana, gun, and badge carefully. The second they were secure atop his dresser, I was back in his arms, his flesh scalding against my already burning skin.
He slid his boxers down his legs, never breaking eye contact, and I actually whimpered as his naked body was revealed in its full glory. Oh, I’d missed him, there was no doubt about that. Heat pulsed deep in my belly as if it had its own heartbeat. I was slick and ready for all that the alpha’s stare promised to deliver.
Pulling me into his arms, he trailed kisses along my collarbone and in between my breasts. Reaching behind me, he unfastened my bra and helped it fall to the floor. Immediately his tongue was on my nipples. When his tongue flicked across each in turn and he squeezed my breasts with his large, strong hands, I realized I didn’t have the patience for a slow buildup.
As he tucked fingers inside the lacy waistband of my thong and slid it down, a moan ripped from his throat. He hesitated, and I knew he wanted to take his time with me, that he thought it was the thing to do. But then he chuffed and his eyes rolled back at the scent of me. With the super senses that had apparently been activated when I’d last shifted, even I could scent the raw sex that permeated the air—musky, exhilarating, and delicious.
Brock hesitated for another drawn-out moment, but then he snapped—and I wasn’t about to complain. He swung hands beneath my bare thighs and lifted me up onto his body. I wrapped legs around his torso and pulled tightly until there was no space between us.
As if neither one of us could wait another second, we joined. I gasped at the sensation of us pressing together as one. His eyes were glittering and feverish, surely matching my own. I hadn’t realized how much I’d really needed him until this moment.
He backed me against the nearest wall, thrusting, kissing, licking, touching everywhere. His tongue tangled with mine and I experienced a near desperation to feel him more, to have him become a greater part of me.
Then he stopped without warning, pressing me against the wall still, but otherwise he fell completely still.
“What? What is it?” I gasped, breathless, running my hands through his thick dark hair, wanting it to never stop.
“The baby,” he said, his voice deeper and rougher than usual. “Am I hurting the baby?’
I tried not to laugh. “No, you’re fine. We’re fine. There’s no harm, I promise.”
Screw me now or I’ll handcuff you to the bed, Baby Daddy.
His eyes sharpened for a brief moment. “You’re totally sure?”
“A hundred percent.”
Get on with it.
“Thank fuck.” He growled again, and those growls were quickly becoming my favorite sounds.
Hands slid beneath my ass, squeezed, and picked me up. In a few sure strides, he lowered me to the bed and his hands were once more free to roam my body.
His weight atop me was just right. The way he caressed my heated flesh encouraged me to spiral upward.
“Eve, I want all of you,” he murmured, planting fevered kisses along my jawline, across my cheeks, and onto my shoulders.
I tangled my fingers into his hair and crushed his mouth against mine. Pressing my hips against his, I met his every thrust with equal enthusiasm of my own. If he didn’t already know I wanted to give all of myself to him, I was going to prove it.
The muscles in his back went taut, and when I wrapped my hands around his ass, I felt it tighten. He was drawing close to the edge.
I was ready to tumble over it with him.
‘Don’t hold back,’I told him through our pack link, hoping I was on the right channel and not broadcasting to Cass.
‘You first.’
I smiled at him wickedly and bit my lip.‘As you command, Alpha.’
He picked up the pace, which I matched, until we were two that had merged into one in a frenzy of passion. I didn’t hold back, and as I crested the wave of pleasure he was right there with me. We gasped and moaned and clenched and shuddered together. After, we melted into a heap of tangled limbs.
