“Your days of terror are over. Never again will you be allowed to hurt another. Before she could rethink her decision, her fist slammed through William’s chest. She kept her eyes trained on his as a warm wet liquid covered her hand and wrist. Her fingers wrapped around his still beating heart. A strangled cry tore from his mouth.
“I’m tired of being your victim.” Minx jerked her arm back, ripping his heart from his chest, and tossing it to the ground.
As quickly as the majik and power had entered her, it disappeared. Sucked from her body by a supernatural force. Her movements slowed to a more normal speed, though the adrenaline that had fueled her rage remained.
“Minx!” Jay screamed, pulling her from her thoughts.
She refused to turn around, not wanting to face him. If running and hiding were an option, she would choose it in a heartbeat. But deep down, she knew it wasn’t. She had to face her mate and the captives, who stood with their mouths agape—shocked by what they had just witnessed.
“Minx! Sweetness, please say something,” Jay begged. He needed to know that she was all right. She had moved so fast to destroy their enemies, he’d never seen anything like it. Unable to keep track of her movements, he had no idea if she had been injured or not. Fury coursed through him at the thought of those assholes laying a single finger on her.
“Jay!” she rushed to his side? “Are you okay?
“I’m fine, sweetness. Do you mind getting rid of this collar for me?” He was weaker than a newborn pup, but he wasn’t about to let Minx know. Between the silver collar around his neck and the silver bullet lodged inside of him, he barely had the strength to hold his head up.
“Goddess, I’d forgotten about the silver collars.”
“Wait! Don’t touch it with your bare fingers. I saw a pair of gloves on the counter over there.” Jay motioned to the stand against the wall.
Minx raced to the counter, grabbed the gloves and raced back. “This is going to hurt, baby.” She carefully slid her fingers under the silver band, lifting it free from his skin one small section at a time.
Jay bit back curse after bloody curse. The silver had embedded into his skin. “Just yank it off,” he said with a sigh. “It has to be easier that way.”
“Are you sure?” Minx looked at him as if he’d shifted into a polar bear or some shit.
“Yes, sweetness. I’m sure.”
“But I—I don’t want to hurt you.” Tears pooled in the corners of her eyes.
Silly girl, he had just watched her rip the throats out of three men and the heart out of another, and now she chose to be squeamish? He wanted to laugh at the ridiculousness, but didn’t. Maybe part of him was afraid of pissing her off, especially after what he’d just witnessed?
“Sweetness, I promise I’ll be fine. Please just yank the damn thing off.” Before I pass out, he added mentally.
“On the count of three.”
He didn’t know if the countdown for or her to prepare herself, or him.
“Three.” Minx adjusted her fingers.
“Two.” She sucked in a deep breath.
“One.” They both held their breath.
“Fuck!” Jay screamed as she tore the collar from his neck along with several layers of his skin.
Tears sprang from her eyes. “I am so sorry, baby.”
Minx glanced around the room. Dozens of eyes watched her every move.
“Please, get us out of here,” one person begged.
“Don’t leave us here,” another person cried.
Minx turned to Jay in a panic. “I don’t think I can do this. It’s one thing to yank the silver from around your neck, another thing entirely to do it to everyone in this room.”
“My cell phone is in my pocket. Call Aric, let them know where we are and what happened.”
No sooner than the words had left his mouth, the door flew open. Tristan entered first, followed by Aric, who was hot on his heels.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been happier in my life to see your ugly mugs than I am right now,” Jay said, and he meant it. Gone were his worries that more rogues would walk through the door. Minx could take care of herself, she had proved that beyond a shadow of a doubt, but it didn’t make him worry any less about her safety.
Tristan whistled as he looked around the room, taking in the dozens of faces that stared back at him. “We're going to need some help here.”
“I’m already on it,” Aric replied, yanking his cell phone from his pocket. His fingers flew across the keypad, texting several of the pack’s enforcers and medics with their location.
Aric’s phone buzzed continuously with replies for several minutes. He nodded to Tristan. “Help is on the way.”
Tristan slowly approached the other captives, unsure of their response even though he recognized all the faces. “We are going to start by getting that silver off of you. We have medics and enforcers on the way, and they should be here in just a few minutes.”
It had taken hours for Tristan’s crew to free everyone and get them back to their families. Those who required medical attention, including Jay, were taken to the local hospital where they were treated for their injuries. Thankfully, everyone who had been injured was a shifter, and had remarkable healing capabilities. A few people had to be treated for silver poisoning, but they were also on the mend.
“Are you sure you’re up to this, baby?” Minx asked for the tenth time. It wasn’t like she didn’t want to have sex with Jay. She absolutely did, but if he was still in pain from his injuries she would gladly wait until he was all healed up.
“Does it look like him up for this, sweetness?” Jay wrapped her fingers around his cock and pumped them up and down.
“You know that’s not what I mean.” She tried to sound firm, but her voice came out husky and needy instead. She chewed on her bottom lip, trying to decide if she should force the it-what-be-best-to-wait issue or drop it.
All doubt dropped from her mind when his lips closed over hers. Sweet Goddess, how did she ever live without that man and his decadent kisses? One taste of him was all it took for her to be hooked. Like a powerful drug, one tiny taste was not enough—would never be enough. She wanted more. Wrapping her free arm around his neck, she held him tight.
“My beautiful and sexy mate. So strong. So brave. I’m not sure what I ever did to deserve you, but I want to thank the Fates for you.”
His arms snaked around her back, pulling her closer. Majik sparked between them as their naked bodies pressed against each other. Her skin heated, her blood felt like molten lava running through her veins.
It wasn’t just a kiss, he made love to her mouth. Consuming her with each glide of his tongue, in and out. Her hand tangled in his hair, as she pulled back and nibbled on his lips. “I need to feel you in me,” she practically begged.
Minx squealed when Jay picked her up and tossed her on the bed. Joy surged through her along with red-hot desire, and a whole lot of love for the man who looked at her like he was about to fuck her brains out.
She writhed on top of the covers as he sucked each one of her hot-pink tipped toes into his mouth, his tongue circling slowly, before moving onto the next. He kissed a blazing trail from her ankle to her inner thigh that left her wild and panting for more.
Just when she thought his tongue would make contact with her clit, he flipped her over and onto her belly. “What the—”
Her question cut short when he mouthed her sex from behind, the tip of his tongue sliding from her clip up to her ass, pausing to nibble on her cheek.
“Your ass is mine!” Jay growled.
Shivers stole through her body when he inserted one finger into her tight hole. She cried out when his tongue circled her ass. Minx thought she’d died and gone to heaven when he flattened his tongue and ran it over her sensitive hole. A second finger joined the first inside of her already soaked pussy. He pumped them back and forth, sending her into a frenzy.
“Jay!” she screamed when his tongue darted in a
nd out of her ass. Never had she been so turned on in her life. Passion burned through her body, lighting her on fire.
He stretched his body out, over hers. His cock nestled between her legs, pressing against her entrance. His arms slid under her. She moaned when his hands cupped her breasts. A gasp flew from her mouth when he pressed his cock deep into her, not pausing as he had done in the past to let her adjust to his size. In and out he pumped, edging her closer and closer to her release.
She bucked up against him when he circled her ass with his thumb, before pressing the tip of it in. That pressure. Sweet and delicious, she wanted more.
“Do you want me to fuck your ass, sweetness?” His hand tunneled through her hair, twisting her head to the side. He nibbled on her ear, then licked a path down her neck and over her mating mark.
“Yes! Goddess, yes!” Never before had she ever thought she would say yes to such a thing but holy hell, she needed everything he wanted to give her.
She wanted to cry out at the loss when he pulled out, until he pressed the head of his cock against her tight ass. Kneading her breasts, kissing and biting on her neck, he pushed into her ass slowly—taking his time, letting her adjust to his thickness.
A slight pain mixed with a delicious pleasure inundated her body, and sent her soaring to the heavens above. “More!” she screamed, wiggling against him.
Jay picked up the pace, his cock darting faster in and out of her ass. “Your ass is so fucking tight, sweetness. I love how it feels sliding all the way in, then back out to the tip.” He timed the sentence perfectly with a long hard stroke.
Moan after sweet moan flowed from her mouth. She loved how he whispered vulgar statements into her ear so politely. So fucking hot. “So good! Feels amazing,” Minx struggled to form a complete sentence. Her mind, her body overwhelmed by sheer pleasure.
“Do you want me to stop?” He tugged on her hair, sucked her earlobe into his mouth.
“No! Please don’t stop. I love feeling your cock in my ass.” A sentence she imagined would never pass her through lips, but it did. She loved it. Every slow glide and hard thrust Jay gave her. Her head thrashed back and forth, long blonde curls flew in every direction as she writhed beneath him.
Wave after wave of pleasure crashed over her. Every inch of her shook from the onslaught of desire that consumed her. Her channel clenched and unclenched. A flood of warmth weaved its way through her body to her core. Jay grabbed her hips and slammed into her ass, balls deep. They cried out in unison. So good. So hot”
With shaky limbs he collapsed beside her and pulled her close. “I love you, sweetness.”
“I love you too, baby.”
No longer destined to live separate lives, they were made for each other. Connected by the Fates, joined by the Gods. In this life and the next they would be one—forever bound.
Peering into the cauldron, Odin shook his head. “She’s fierce. Pure carnage. I assume you had something to do with her blood fueled rage, Freyja?”
“Perhaps, but just a little bit. I think she would have done well enough on her own.”
Pointing to his golden ax, Odin shrugged. “It would have been easy enough for you give her the ax. It would have been cleaner and drew less attention.”
He paused, studying Freyja’s tight lipped smile. “You seemed to have enjoyed seeing her kill the rogue wolves with such rage.”
“No.” Freya replied, thoughtfully tracing her finger along the edge of the cauldron. “I’m proud of her. She defeated her supernatural enemies in mortal combat. You of all the Gods should know, the women with the purest of hearts can be the most vicious when it comes to protecting the ones she loves.”
“Indeed, my dear. “Indeed.”
