She gulped, her nipples swelled with the brush of his body on her. She moaned. “Please I need…you.”
He tugged his T-shirt off his body and helped her put it on. His scent enveloped her and the material covered her down to mid-thigh.
“Come on. We’ll go home and it will get better. Everything will be fine.” He didn’t sound too sure.
She moaned with every step she took, and the material of the T-shirt rubbed on her nipples. They walked over the broken down door and out of the breeding room. Mind hazy with need, she followed him past a dead Joe.
“Don’t think about him.” Ryder picked her up in his arms when he realized she was slowing down because she was shoe-less.
They got outside and multiple vehicles surrounded the building. Theo was at the font giving orders.
Ryder’s scent called to her. Made her bite back a moan. She nuzzled his neck and licked his jaw.
“Ryder…I think I’m going to die.” She wiggled in his grasp.
Arousal gathered tighter inside her. She needed to stay in control.
“You’re going to be fine.”
“You don’t understand. It—” she whimpered “—it’s starting to take over my thoughts. I need you.”
He snarled when Theo headed their way.
Theo cocked his head and folded his arms over his muscular chest. “Ryder?”
“She’s in heat.” His hold on her tightened.
She licked his neck again. “Please...”
“So take her somewhere and help her get through it. Are you stupid or something?” Theo’s voice sounded irritated.
“What the fuck, Theo?” Ryder stepped forward, getting closer to the building’s gates.
Theo followed behind. “Any idiot with two eyes can see she’s uncomfortable. What do you need, instructions?”
“Mind your business.” Ryder yelled over his shoulder as he made his way to the thick of the woods.
Theo’s chuckle drifted with each step they took into the dark forest. He walked for a few minutes before lowering her to her feet. “Raine, are you—”
She yanked his head down and smashed her lips with his. He growled. Turned possessive. Blood bubbled in her veins, heating her core to scorching degrees. She raked her nails down his warm, naked torso and stopped at his waist. Urgent need made her yank the button on his jeans and tug down the zipper.
His cock sprang forth, thick and hard to fill her palm. She circled his length in her fist and squeezed.
“Sweetheart, this isn’t the best place to—” He gasped when she licked his nipple.
She nipped the hard nubbin. Licked him repeatedly at the same time she jerked his cock. Her pussy yelled to be filled. “Fuck me, please.”
He tugged the T-shirt off her body and lifted her into his arms. She clung to his shoulders, curled her legs around his waist, squeezing tight.
She moaned when he slid into her in a gentle drawn-out thrust. He gripped her by her ass and leaned back into a tree trunk. She panted as he lifted and dropped her over his cock in quick repetitive moves.
His touch was electrifying. Desire fisted in her core, expanding into a ball of tension, drawing her closer to the orgasm she wanted. He grunted. Their gazes locked. Animal lust lit bright in his eyes. She dropped her head. Kissed him. The savagery of the kiss was unlike anything she’d ever experienced before. They bit, grunted, licked, and then did it all again. For every thrust, her temperature rose, until her pussy felt on fire.
She moaned. Each slide down his cock was bliss. Her focus shifted to the curve of his neck. Her wolf wanted to mark him as her own. She sniffed his neck, licked, and sucked on the salty skin.
He groaned, his cock jerked into her pussy with added desperation. “Fuck, baby, wait…”
She held on to him and bit, hard. Her canines broke flesh and dug deep, until his blood dripped on her tongue. Lights burst behind her lids and her orgasm rushed her. Air froze in her lungs, choking off the scream threatening to come out with each shudder. The world slowed down to just the feel of her pussy convulsing around his cock. Each quiver was a new explosion in her core. His cock continued to stroke her insides with enough pressure to draw out her already amazing orgasm. She released his shoulder and panted.
He brought her down to her feet. She stared at him in confusion. His eyes glittered with wild passion. His nostrils flared and he licked his lips.
“My turn to bite.” His rumble made her pussy drip.
He switched their positions so she faced the thick tree trunk. She bent at the waist and leaned in. Seconds later, his cock was filling her from behind. Dropping her head forward, she moaned with each slap of his cock into her.
“Yesss.”
He shoved her hair out of the way and licked her shoulder. “You’re mine.” His voice dripped with possession. He fucked her so rough it was hard to catch her breath.
“Yes.”
“My woman.”
Goosebumps broke across her skin. His soft words had the effect of being doused in gas and lit with a match. Rapid fire heated her blood to boiling.
“Your woman.” She panted. Another orgasm edged closer.
“My mate.”
He bit down on her shoulder, pushing her headlong into a surge of bliss.
She dug her nails into the tree bark and shook through the powerful ripple of pleasure racking her core.
His body stiffened at her back, his thrusts turned frenzied, wild. He did a final hard slam into her and roared. His cock expanded and filled her with his cum. She was glad he was holding her body flush to his by her waist, or she’d have fallen to a boneless puddle on the grass.
“Oh. Wow.”
His cock continued to jerk in her pussy while he licked at her shoulder. He caressed up to her breasts and pinched her nipples in his grasp. Her pussy throbbed for more.
“How in the world do you do that to me?” She moaned.
He propelled back and slid forward with deliberate gentle drives. He kissed her back, down her spine and slipped out of her. “Let’s go home.”
She turned to face him. His sexy smile made her heart flip. Hell, if this continued, she’d never get out of bed. Not that they needed a bed it seemed.
“I want to make love to you and kiss every inch of your skin until I’m the only scent you wear.”
Well fuck. She was good with that. After another mind-melting kiss, he helped her put on the T-shirt, ensuring the material didn’t show off any of her privates, before picking her up in his arms again.

A soft knock at her office door made her glance up from the computer screen to the entrance. Technically it was still Ryder’s office, but he’d been so Gung-ho about her doing the accounting, he’d had a desk and computer put in for her within a day.
Theo stood at her door, his smile wide. “There’s someone here to see you. She asked if you could come out to the bar and talk to her.”
She stood, wondering who it could be, and went into the main section of the bar. Mandy sat in a booth, her posture rigid and her hands folded on the table.
“Hey!” Raine smiled. “I’ve been calling you, but you haven’t been answering me. Is everything okay?” She frowned when she noticed Mandy’s glassy eyes.
“Oh, Raine!” She slid out of the booth and threw her arms around her neck. “I’m so sorry!”
Mandy started sobbing in her arms. Raine felt her pain as if it were her own. “Why are you so upset?”
“Joe.” She choked on the word through her tears.
“What about him?” She’d yet to tell Mandy about her sick ex-boyfriend.
“I found some files in a drawer. They were about his shifter project and how you were a perfect test subject.” Her voice shook as she spoke. “I went to the police and the Sheriff said he’d been killed in some kind of sting operation. He was doing illegal testing this entire time.” She hiccupped. “I feel so guilty.”
“Oh, Mandy. It’s okay. You didn’t know Joe would do that kind of st
uff.” She patted her distressed friend on the back. “Heck, I would’ve never guessed him to be doing those kinds of experiments.”
Mandy shook her head and sniffled. She stepped back, glancing at her with tortured eyes. “You don’t understand. This is all my fault. I often spoke about you having no one to look out for you. If only I had paid more attention to his obsessive talk about shifters, maybe I would’ve realized what he was up to. Instead, I just ignored him as being in one of his annoying geeky moments.”
“Stop it. Nobody could’ve known that.” She hugged her and motioned her into the booth she’d vacated. “Now sit down and tell me what you’ve been up to.”
Ryder listened to Mandy and Raine discuss how Joe had been working with other scientists across the country. Some rich benefactors had funded their research, and while Joe was one of the main researchers, he wasn’t alone, nor was that facility the only place he worked his experiments.
“What do you want us to do?” Theo asked, towel in hand, cleaning glasses from behind the bar.
“Not sure yet. Have you seen Quinn?” He glanced around the bar in hopes his cousin had made an appearance.
“He stepped outside for a moment.”
Ryder glanced through the front windows, looking for his troubled cousin outside. “How does he look to you?”
Theo sighed, stopped cleaning the glass in his hand, and winced. “Confused as hell and ready to bolt.”
At that moment, Quinn entered the bar, his gaze moved swiftly to where Mandy and Raine sat. Meeting Ryder’s scrutinizing stare, he clenched his jaw, and marched to the bar.
“How are you doing?” Ryder couldn’t help the concern he felt for his cousin. He saw the haunting stress in his eyes.
“Fine.”
“I’m sorry about James.” They still hadn’t found James’ body, but if Quinn’s memory was correct, his friend had been killed when they were first captured.
Quinn gave a sharp nod. His chin length blond hair look disheveled, as if he’d been running his fingers through the strands in frustration.
“I can’t stay here, Ryder.” He shifted to look at Mandy and Raine again, his face filled with torture. “I’m so confused. I feel like I should be protecting her, but that’s your job as her mate.”
Quinn picked up the glass of beer Theo had placed in front of him and gulped. “This is all kinds of fucked up. Your blood was used to change her.”
“I’m no alpha. Your mate is stronger than most of the born alphas out there.” Quinn frowned.
Ryder scrubbed a hand over the back of his neck. “Quinn, you were experimented on. So was she. Neither of you will be normal again. Well, not our kind of normal.”
Theo pushed a glass back and away from the edge of the counter. “She doesn’t just have your DNA. She had a host of other drugs that made her who she is now.”
“Where will you go?” He could scent Quinn’s confusion and pain. It was best to give him the time and space he needed to clear his head.
“South. I can’t be here. I love Jessa, and I feel like a fucking idiot for how that went down.”
Ryder didn’t ask him about the situation with Jessa. He knew whatever happened, Pete probably had a hand in it.
“Don’t let her keep you away.” Theo leaned over the bar to join in the conversation.
“I won’t. I’ll be back. She knows things aren’t over.”
Ryder’s lip quirked at the possessive way Quinn spoke. Jessa might have thought they were done, but she’d soon find out mates weren’t a personal choice, but a choice by the heart.
“Ryder…” He heard the soft calling over the laughter and boisterous atmosphere in the bar.
He glanced around, looking for Raine, but didn’t see her anywhere.
“Come here, my hunky shifter.” Her seductive voice sent lust straight to his cock. Hardened him to steel. Fuck looking. He inhaled, bypassing the beer and different animals to focus on her scent. Like a dog going after a bone, he stood, his gaze locked on the door to their office.
Theo chuckled. “I see who’s in charge here.”
“Shut up Theo.” He growled, rushing to his office, and her arms.
“Oh yeah, looks to me like she tamed two wolves at once.” Theo laughed. His raucous chuckle followed Ryder into his office.
“There you are.” Raine gripped his shirt, dragged him into the office, and pushed his back against the closed door.
“Here I am, my love.”
Her brilliant smile made his heart beat faster.
“I love you.” She whispered. Her eyes filled with emotion.
He caressed her jaw, slid down to her neck, and trailed his fingers over her mate bite. “I love you too. You are the most important person in my life.”
“Really?” She twined her fingers behind his neck and smiled wickedly at him. “Well, the most important person in your life wants you to make love to her.”
He chuckled and nuzzled her lips. “Whatever you want, sweetheart. Whatever you want.”
