“What are you doing with him?” Enzo snarls.
She turns back to her brother. “He’s my mate.”
Enzo’s face drops. He looks like he’s going to be sick.
Then he looks mad.
Then, murderous.
“Come with me,” I say as I grab Bailey’s arm. Enzo is shaking all over and I can tell his grizzly bear is about to explode out of him.
I throw her over my shoulder and take off running down the street. I hear the ripping sound behind me and then a bloodthirsty roar as Enzo phases into his bear.
I don’t stop to turn around. It’s going to slow me down too much.
My pulse is racing as I pump my legs as fast as they’ll go, slamming my feet into the pavement as I sprint to my pickup truck.
I can hear the grizzly bear’s grunts behind me as he chases us down. There’s no doubt he’s going to try and kill me if he catches up to us. This is no longer a fun bar fight. This is life and death.
I could kill him if I wanted to, but I don’t want to anymore. He’s my mate’s brother and she would never forgive me if I murdered her sibling in front of her.
My truck comes into view and I grab my keys out of my pocket as I run.
Bailey is clinging onto my shirt, too scared to scream. I’m clutching onto the small of her back and even through all of this, I can’t help but realize how close my face is to her pussy.
I reach my truck, yank the door open, toss her in, and leap over the hood. I manage to get behind the wheel just as Enzo’s furious grizzly bear arrives.
“Come on,” I hiss under my breath as I shove the key in and start the engine. I turn the wheel and hit the gas as hard as I can. The grizzly slams into my truck, knocking it onto two wheels for a second before it falls back down.
I floor it out of there and wince when I hear the sound of grinding metal. I glance in my side mirror and see the grizzly’s paw running along the side of my truck, tearing up the metal door with his long black claws.
“What the hell was that?” Bailey asks when we’re flying down the street.
I glance in the rearview mirror and see the bear chasing us, but I quickly leave him in the dust. I take a deep breath as I pull onto the highway and accelerate.
“You know my brother?” she asks again. “Roman!”
“Yes,” I quickly say. “We met a few times. It didn’t go well.”
“Did you guys fight?”
She’s looking at me and the last thing I want to do is cause her pain, but I can’t lie to her. “Yes, we fought.”
She drops her head into her hands and makes a noise that eats at my soul. “How many times?”
“Twice.”
She looks depressed as she stares out the window.
“I can’t have my mate and my brother fighting,” she says. “That won’t work. It can’t be like that.”
I swallow hard as I remember the furious grizzly bear chasing me down. It appears we have a long way to go.
But we’ll get there.
I’ll go anywhere and do anything for her.
Chapter Four
Bailey
“Where are we going?” I ask when I realize we’ve been driving down the highway for quite some time.
“I don’t know,” Roman whispers under his breath. “We can’t go back to my place. Your brother will be waiting for us on the road.”
I sigh, knowing he’s right. Enzo has always been so protective of me. He’s not going to let this go easily.
I start trying to think of what our next move can be, but the thought of being pressed up against this big sexy man beside me keeps taking over my brain.
I suck in a breath as I look at him. His tattooed arm is extended as he grips the steering wheel. I study his inked-up skin as he studies the road. I’ve never thought too much about tattoos on a guy, but I like them on him. Especially the roses around his elbow.
He’s watching the road, his face tight with concentration. I didn’t think I’d end up with a man like Roman. He looks so gruff and unfriendly. Like someone you’d walk across the street to avoid.
He’s a book you can’t judge by its cover or else you’re going to miss all of the magic inside.
If you look past the rough (and sometimes scary) exterior, he has a good heart and I can tell he’s going to treat me right.
I just wish that my brother could see that too.
He turns to me and his lip twitches up in a sexy grin. I feel a flood of heat rushing from my core to the area between my legs as those dark smoldering eyes fixate on me.
I feel like the most special girl in the world when he looks at me like that.
“We could…” I swallow hard, trying to get the courage to finish this tantalizing thought. “We could hole up somewhere for the night.”
“Just the two of us?”
God, the way he’s looking at me… I gulp.
“Yeah.”
He holds his breath as he turns back to the road.
“It was a stupid idea,” I quickly say when it’s clear that he’s not into it. How could I be such an idiot?
“No,” he grunts as he stares out the windshield. “It’s not.”
His knuckles are white as he grips the steering wheel. His whole body is flexed. What is going on?
“Spending the night with you is the best idea I’ve ever heard,” he whispers in a torn voice. “Nothing would make me happier.”
“But?” I can sense one coming.
He sighs as he turns to me with anguish in his eyes.
“Shacking up with me is going to be like shacking up with a hungry predator. I won’t be able to stop myself, Bailey. I won’t be able to hold onto control around you.”
I study my hands as his tempting words linger between us. I don’t know if it’s just me but the air in here feels thicker.
“Mates are meant to be together, aren’t they?”
He nods.
“Well, then maybe, that’s what we both need. To lose control a little.”
The heated look he gives me nearly causes my body to melt into the seat.
He’s the sexiest man I’ve ever seen and the sudden irrational need to lean over and take his cock in my mouth hits me with an almost unstoppable urge.
I squeeze my hands into fists and keep myself rooted in the seat as my mouth waters. There will be time for that later…
We drive in silence for a while until a nice hotel comes up on the side of the highway. It’s the type of place where people come in their Mercedes and BMWs to get away for the weekend. Where they can have a nice dinner at the five-star restaurant and sleep in a large comfy bed.
I don’t say a word as Roman pulls off the highway and drives up to it.
My whole body is tingling with excitement when he pulls into a spot.
“Are you stopping to use the restroom?”
He turns off the truck and turns to me with lustful eyes. “Will you spend the night with me, Bailey?”
My head starts nodding all on its own.
“Yes.”
My heart is thumping in my chest as we get out and head to the front door.
A porter comes up to Roman and asks if we have any bags. They start talking when the rumbling sound of motorcycles catches my attention. I turn and see three guys on motorcycles suddenly pull over on the side of the highway. They have leather biker vests on and are pointing at Roman.
No, it can’t be. They’re pointing at the hotel.
But something doesn’t feel right in my gut as they stare. When they get back on their bikes and ride away, I see Lone Wolf Mercenaries written on their backs.
“They have a room for us,” Roman says as the porter rushes off. “A nice one overlooking the mountains.”
All of my worries quickly gets replaced by excitement as I imagine all of the incredible firsts that are going to happen in the next twenty-four hours.
This is the first time I’ll ever be with a man. I’ve never had sex and I hadn’t even kissed a boy until
an hour ago, which seems unusual since I’m twenty, but makes perfect sense now that I know I was waiting for my mate.
I was waiting for Roman.
As he takes my hand and brings me into the hotel, I realize the wait is over.
The room is perfect and so is he. It’s a gorgeous suite with a stunning view of the mountains and most importantly, a nice big bed in the middle of the room.
Roman started running a bath as soon as we checked out the bathroom and now it’s almost full.
The sound of running water is replacing all of the unsaid words between us.
A million thoughts are racing through my head at the same time. How do we do this? What is the protocol?
Roman disappears into the bathroom and the sound of the running water stops. He has no shirt on when he comes back out.
My heart starts doing little flips as I drag my eyes all over his muscular torso. His skin is tanned and tight over each hulking muscle from his shoulders, to his massive chest, to his abs that I would kill to drag my tongue over.
“I’m taking a bath,” he says in a deep scratchy voice that’s full of want and need.
“Okay.” My voice is as high-pitched as a cartoon chipmunk.
“I want you to join me.”
“But I don’t have my bathing suit.”
He grins, trying not to laugh at me. “I know.”
I swallow hard as he starts walking up to me, his fiery eyes burning into mine. I feel so small. So vulnerable. So freaking turned on.
He stops in front of me, his huge hard body within touching distance. Within kissing distance. He smells so good. Why are my legs suddenly feeling like they’re made of jelly?
“Bailey,” he grumbles in that low sexy drawl. “I want you. Naked. In the tub. Now.”
My eyes widen as I look up at him.
“But I—”
He crushes his lips to mine, kissing me hard until I’m standing on my curled toes and desperate for him. I whimper when he finally lets go. My heart is hammering in my chest. My pussy is throbbing.
“No more talking. It’s time to get undressed.”
My eyes drop to his hands as he unbuckles his belt. He opens everything up and then lets his jeans fall to his ankles.
Wow, that’s big…
I can’t stop staring at his long thick erection straining against his boxer briefs. That can’t be real…
He gently puts his fingers under my chin and lifts my head until I’m looking into his eyes once again.
“You see how hard you make me, Bailey? Only my mate can get my cock aching like this. Only you can turn me on this much.”
I gulp as I look back down at it, marveling that I’m the one making it harden like a rock.
“The time for control is over,” he says in a low dominant voice. “The time to take these clothes off your sweet sexy body is here.”
I just stand there, too in shock to do anything else.
“I’m going to be in the bath,” he says as he leans down and kisses me softly on the lips. “Don’t make me wait too long.”
My eyes are locked on his big hulking back as he walks to the bathroom.
“Holy hell…” I whisper when he slides his boxer briefs down and steps out of them. His perfect ass is as hard as the rest of him.
He grins at me over his round shoulder and then disappears inside.
My pulse starts racing. Every nerve in my body is tingling and on full alert.
I feel my cheeks heat up as I look around the empty room in a panic. What the hell should I do?
I think of everything, but doing what my mate wants seems to be the only viable answer.
With excited nerves causing havoc throughout my body, I start to undress with shaky hands. First my shirt, then my pants. I slide my socks off and then walk over to the full-length mirror and look at myself in my mismatched old bra and underwear. I’m going to have to seriously step up my underwear game with this man in my life. I can’t have him seeing me like this.
I take a deep breath and unclasp my bra. My nipples are already hard as diamonds as I let my bra fall to the ground. I don’t look so bad, do I? My breasts are full, but my nipples are a little big for my liking. I guess I’m not the only woman who criticizes her body. I lift them up and let them fall, hoping he’s going to like them.
I turn my attention to my big hips and try not to get myself into a frenzy of self-consciousness and loathing as I slide my underwear down.
I’m completely naked and breathing hard as I slowly walk into the bathroom.
“Fuck,” Roman hisses under his breath when he sees me.
His eyes widen when I walk into the room, roaming up and down my naked body like he can’t get enough of what he’s seeing.
I have an eyeful too. He’s laying in the bubble bath with his arms on the side of the large tub, his skin slick and shiny. It’s the first time I’ve seen him without his hat on and I really want to rustle my hand through his messy hair.
“You are pure beauty,” he says as his dark hungry eyes soak me in. “Get in this bathtub before I lose my mind.”
My bare feet hit the cold tiles as I walk over to join him. His eyes are everywhere as I get in, trying not to bend at awkward and unattractive angles.
The water is warm and the bubbles help hide all of my pink parts but Roman isn’t having any of it. He wipes the bubbles off my breasts so he can see them unobstructed. I feel a pulse hit my pussy when his big hands touch my nipples.
“You look nervous,” he says in a warm voice.
“I’ve never done this before.”
“Neither have I.”
I nearly gasp in shock until I realize what he must have meant. “You mean in a bathtub?”
He shakes his head. “No. Anywhere. I’m a virgin, Bailey.”
This time I do gasp.
“You look shocked. Of course, I am. Why would I want any girl who’s not my mate?”
I stare at him with no good answer to give.
“We’re made for each other, Bailey. I wanted another girl as much as you wanted another guy.”
“I don’t want anyone but you,” I whisper. “Never have. Never will.”
He smiles as he runs his hand over my collarbone, flicking my hair back. “Come here.”
I sink into his big arms and turn around until I’m lying against his stomach. My pussy starts aching with need when I feel his big strong erection pressing against my back.
He lets out a groan when I let my weight press down on it.
His big hands slide down my wet arms and then they’re moving onto my chest. I suck in a breath as he cups my breasts and massages them, letting the water and bubbles keep them nice and slick.
“This was a good idea,” he whispers in my ear. “We’re not leaving this room until checkout and I’m not leaving your pussy until your womb is nice and bred.”
His dirty words are ringing in my head as he runs my hard nipples through his fingers. I want to be carrying his child so badly. I want a family with him. I want to feel his seed growing inside my womb.
I’m breathing heavily and reaching under the water for his big cock as he slides his palm down my stomach, his fingers extended.
“Ohhhh shit,” I moan as his incredible hand slides over my sex. His fingers part my slit as his palm presses against my engorged clit.
I wrap my hand around his huge shaft and he lets out a sexy groan in my ear.
“Fuck you feel good,” he growls against my hot skin. I’m not sure if he’s talking about my hand or my pussy, but it doesn’t matter. Everything feels amazing right now.
He tests out my virgin hole with his thick fingertip, playing with it and making me whimper. My whimpers turn to cries as he slides his hand back up and starts rubbing my clit in circles. Slow at first, but then faster and faster.
The water starts slapping us in waves as my body jerks with every circle of his fingertip. I close my eyes and let go of his cock, only able to focus on his hand down there as he makes my
body implode.
It feels so good. I can’t take it.
“Oh yes!” I cry out as I feel an orgasm come raging forward. My body is tight, tight, tight, then it explodes in waves of blissful heat that travel from my core all the way to my extremities.
He holds me as my body shakes and convulses, sending the bath water splashing over the edge and onto the tiled floor.
When I finally come too, Roman’s big arms are wrapped around me, his strong hand cupping my left breast. His cock is harder than ever against my back and I’m breathing heavily as I try to catch my breath.
I sink against his hot skin, letting him hold me as the last remnants of the orgasm flow through my trembling body.
He pets my hair and cups water in his big hand to wet my cold shoulders. This is better than heaven. This is where I’m meant to be.
Naked in my mate’s protective arms.
And we’re just getting started.
Chapter Five
Roman
Bailey turns in my arms and looks at me with a devilishly sexy grin. She’s biting her bottom lip as her eyes drag down my chest to my abs. The bubbles are covering the rest.
Her hand is like a shark swimming below the murky surface and I groan when I feel it grabbing my cock.
“Oh Bailey,” I moan when she starts stroking me up and down. I drop my head back and squeeze the bathtub with my hands as she works it. “It feels so good.”
I force my eyes open to look at her. I don’t want to miss a thing. This is the first time my mate has had a cock in her hand and I want to see it all.
The head of my dick pops out of the water and I moan when I see her hand come up and then disappear back down. Little waves are rippling away from it, smacking into my hard abs.
Her lust-filled eyes are locked on it. She looks mesmerized by my cock as she jacks me off.
“Want to see all of it?”
Her eyes dart up to mine and she nods.
I push myself up and sit on the edge of the bath so she has full access to my big dick. She never lets it go as she follows me onto her knees.
