He growled.
Letty shot his left leg. Grady growled and fell to his knees with a loud thump. His features turned deadly.
“I’m a great shot,” she shouted. She switched weapons to hold the shotgun with one hand. With quick, efficient moves, she shoved the gun in the back of her pants. Then she held the shotgun with both hands, aimed at Grady. Ready to shoot again. “And I’m not kidding. Get the fuck out of here or die.”
He hesitated, eyeing the shotgun.
“I have another loaded gun at my back. If you want to take the chance, go for it.”
Grady snarled. He headed for the front door with a limp. A red trail of blood followed him to the door. He stopped at the entrance, his gaze never leaving Nic. “This isn’t over. You belong to me.” His evil smile grew wide. “You’ve been bought and paid for, little one.”
Once they were sure he’d gone, Letty rushed over to her side. She helped her stand, half carrying Nic out of the house. “Let’s get you back to the hotel. I can’t believe mom and dad would do that. She locked me in a closet and they left the house,” she said, bundling Nic into the passenger side of her car.
“They’re lunatics.” Nic groaned in pain.
Letty hurried into the driver side, turning the key with enough aggression Nic wouldn’t have been surprised to see it break in pieces. The engine roared to a start and the immediate coolness from the air conditioner filled the inside. “This isn’t the fucking middle ages. You don’t sell your children!”
Nic’s entire body, from the tip of her bangs down to her golden toenails, burned as if pieces were being torn off. She fought whatever it was that wanted to break her from the inside. “I need help.”
Jake arrived at Nic’s door early, but he’d been dying to see her all day. He knew she’d been out with her sister to visit her family, but he didn’t mind waiting for her to finish getting ready as long as he was near her. His animal missed her and he did too. The wolf had paced restlessly in his skin cage. He’d tried to push for a shift, but Jake held his composure with the reminder that he’d see Nic later. They needed to discuss their relationship. He didn’t like seeing her so distant from him.
He readied to knock when the door opened in a rush. Ellie glanced at him and lifted her lips in a small grin, the smile never reaching her eyes.
“Jake. You look really nice.”
“Thanks. I—”
She hauled him inside and threw the door closed.
The minute he stepped in the room, the scent of Nic’s pain filled his lungs. He rushed forward to the bedroom, where she was curled into a ball on the bed. The wolf wanted out. He had to yank back his control to keep from shifting.
“What’s going on?” He watched his mother and the others stare at Nic’s body with distress.
“I...” Nic mumbled. “I hurt.”
Barbara hurried to his side, her face creased in fear. “She’s rejecting the change. She doesn’t understand it will only hurt a little but she needs to let it happen.”
Jake’s heart thudded painfully in his chest. He had to help his mate. “What do I do?”
“Her body is trying to decide if she should allow the animal to roam or if she should reject it altogether.” She patted his shoulder. “You have to try to encourage her to let her wolf loose. To embrace her, not reject her.”
He nodded. Nic’s bloodied and swollen face pinched in pain and fear. A growl rumbled from deep in his chest. She’d been hurt. He needed to know how and when. More importantly, he needed to know who. “What happened to her face?”
The women glanced back and forth at each other. Jordan jumped into the conversation. “We can talk about that later. Right now, you need to reach her. Get her to allow the change. If she doesn’t...”
She never would. It went without saying. He had to get Nic to trust him. To follow his lead and embrace the animal.
“Can you help her?” Letty bit her lip, her eyes filled with tears. Her anguish over her sister’s pain twisted his gut.
“I’ll try. If she can trust me.”
Nic moaned, the sound tore at his heart. She curled her fingers into fists and rocked herself stiffly, shoving half her face into the pillow. “Make it stop,” she begged. “Please.”
They smiled sadly at him as they left the suite. He stood there for a moment, watching her muscles shake with tension, her face shoved into the pillow muffling her groans.
“Nic.” He marched forward and stopped by the side of the bed. “Look at me, beautiful.”
She opened her eyes to stare at him, the rim of gold bright around her iris. Her wolf was winning. Her usually soft and beautiful features were harsh. Her skin pulled tight against her face, bone structure easily visible. Harsh breaths puffed out of her chest along with low growls of pain. Yes, her wolf wanted out. He just needed to help Nic let it loose. He took his time unbuttoning his dress shirt, knowing fully well her eyes were on him still.
“You’re going through a change, baby.” He removed the shirt and tossed it to the side.
The glow in her eyes increased. “Jake...”
“It’s natural when you’re turning for your body to ache while it decides if it wants to shift or not.” He unbuckled his pants and toed off his shoes.
Nic sat up on the bed, her body clearly no longer in her control. She inhaled deep and moaned. “You smell good, Jake.”
She scented his animal. The one ready to mate her newly created wolf. The pants dropped to the floor and he was left completely naked. He couldn’t control his body’s response to her scent. His cock was hard and there wasn’t shit he could or wanted to do about it.
“Come here,” he ordered, his voice low and rough with the distinct bite of the wolf within.
She dashed forward, oblivious to her previous pain. She stopped in front of him. Her gaze slid down his body with clear appreciation and lust. She wanted him. Through the pain and discomfort of whatever was happening to her, she knew he was hers. Just like he knew she was his.
He watched her features shift some more. The shape of her eyes changed. She was so close.
“Do you feel the animal inside you?” He lifted a hand and caressed the bruises on the side of her face, slowly.
She nodded, pressing her cheek into his palm. Christ. He loved her so fucking much. Just knowing she’d been hurt made him ready to kill someone.
“I want you to loosen your limbs.” He kissed her neck, nuzzling her collarbone and curling his other hand around her waist. He loved her curves and the fact she was proud of them. It made her that much sexier.
“I’m scared,” she mumbled, searching for his lips.
He kissed her. He couldn’t fight the pull of his mate. Of the woman he loved. “I know, love. But you have to do this for me,” he whispered over her lips.
Placing butterfly kisses over her swollen jaw, he continued to encourage her.
“Feel the animal within, Nic. Let her take control.”
He helped her remove the dress she’d had on along with her underwear until she was naked. Fucking hell she was so damn sexy. All those luscious curves and he couldn’t touch them until she accepted her change.
“Do it, baby. Let your wolf loose. Then we’ll play.”
Fur replaced skin. He pulled back and watched her wolf emerge. It was beautiful. Nic dropped to all fours. Once she stopped fighting the change, the shift was over in the blink of an eye. Bones popped, fur replaced flesh and a petite golden wolf was left in her place.
He called his own animal forward. Which wasn’t hard since he’d been salivating to get a taste of his new mate. Once he’d shifted himself, he called to her through their wolf bond.
“How do you feel?” He worried she was still in pain even though she shouldn’t be.
“You can hear me?” she asked tentatively, her wolf sauntered around him daintily. Even as a wolf she was such a girly thing.
“I can hear you,” he said, watching her tail swish and curl around his hind legs. “What are you doing?”
; “I don’t hurt anymore.” She rubbed her muzzle over the side of his neck. “In fact, I’m feeling really needy.”
She hopped on the bed, lowered her body and lifted her tail.
“Are you sure?” He jumped up behind her. The scent of his mate was addictive. He’d follow her to the ends of the earth for the promise of a taste. “Are you really sure you don’t hurt?”
A moment later she was back to her human form, slick and naked on the bed. She lifted her head and smiled, her bruises almost gone. “I’m sure I want you. That much I’m sure of.”
He went back to his human body and cupped her face carefully, still worried over her bruises. Their lips meshed into a hard kiss. He tried to control the hunger he felt for her, but it was useless. A growl built up his throat. She moaned and he lost it. He drove his tongue deep into her mouth loving her readiness to match him all the way. Lust exploded in their embrace. Their lips clung to each other, sharing energy and the need for tasting each other. Nothing had ever tasted as good as he did at that precise moment. The wild side of her rumbled moans through their kiss. Then, to drive him even crazier, she rubbed her tongue over his. She enticed him to go further and devour her with his mouth.
Gliding his hands down her neck, he cupped her breast and squeezed. She moaned, the scent of her arousal thick in the bedroom. She grazed her nails down his arms, leaving a trail of stinging pain over his biceps. She still had claws. Her control over her wolf wasn’t all there. For some reason all that did was turn him on even more.
She tore away from him, her eyes glassy with need and bright with her beast. “Wait,” her voice sounded low and rough and sexy as all hell. “I got some toys I wanted us to play with.”
His cock couldn’t get any harder at that moment. “Toys?”
Her lips curved into that naughty smile that spoke volumes. The one that had his dick twitching to get inside her wetness. “Yes, I’ve been a bad girl.”
Fucking hell he’d died and gone to heaven when he found her. Her grip on his arms tightened, her nails almost breaking skin. “Where are they?”
She licked her lips. Her tongue swept over her swollen lips in an erotic caress. She shifted under him. The perfume of her arousal grabbed him by the balls and wouldn’t let go.
“The drawer next to the bed.” She inhaled and groaned. “Hurry. I need you.”
He reached over, opened it and grabbed a handful of whatever was in there. A G-Spot massaging vibrator. Lube. Nipple clamps. Oh, hell fucking yes!
She smiled and got on all fours, wiggled her ass and chuckled. “I’m ready when you are, my sexy mutt.”
He slapped a hand on her ass, the sound reverberating through the room. The scent of her arousal drifted with more power from her body along with a loud moan.
“I think it’s time I get a taste of that gorgeous ass.”
She bit her lip. “Do it. Fuck my ass, Jake.” Her eyes sparkled with need. “But make sure I come or I’ll hurt you.”
He grinned. God, he loved her sass. “Get on your back and show me that delectable pussy of yours. I’m feeling kind of hungry.”
She lay on her back with her legs spread wide, showing her swollen and drenched pussy. Her clit peeked from its hood. His mate was fucking gorgeous.
“These first.” He sucked a nipple into his mouth and nibbled the point until it was nice and hard. She gasped, moaned and groaned. Then to add to his painful erection, she dug her nails into his hair.
“God, Jake. Do the other too,” she mumbled, pushing her other breast toward his lips. “Suck them both. That feels amazing.”
He placed the first nipple clamp on her, tightening until she mewled at the bite of pain.
“How does that feel?” he asked, rubbing the tip over the clamp.
She glanced at him with passion-glazed eyes. “Fuck me. Please.”
Almost there. Thank God for whoever invented sex toys. They sure made this a lot more interesting. He did the same with her other nipple and attached the second clamp. A metal chain connected the two. He did a gentle tug and watched her whimper. She looked so fucking sexy, and ready to be eaten.
He crawled down her body, kissing a trail down her belly to her clean shaven pussy. He settled between her legs, curling his arms around her thighs. His breath hovered over her clit and he watched her squeeze the nipple clamps and moan.
“Lick me,” she said breathlessly. “Eat my pussy and make me come.”
He inhaled the sweet aroma of her arousal flowing from her core. Then he buried his face in her folds, flattening his tongue and sweeping it up in a single wide lick.
“Oh, yessss.”
Her moans of pleasure intensified his own enjoyment of his task. He licked her repeatedly. She was so wet and hot. He sucked her clit, pushing down on the little nub with the tip of his tongue. Her body bucked and she rolled her hips wildly on his face.
He reached for the vibrator and turned it on. The soft buzzing was barely audible over her groans and moans.
“Please, Jake. That feels fucking amazing.” She gasped.
He rubbed the toy up and down her pussy, coating it with her honey. Then he slowly slid it into her. She mewled and pressed down into the vibe.
“Oh, God!”
She yanked on fistfuls of his hair as she tried to ride the vibe. Her legs trembled and pushed at his back.
“Fuck, Nic!” He kissed her inner thigh and thrust and withdrew the toy in and out of her. Her expression of pure bliss turned his cock that much harder.
“Jake...”
“I love hearing you call to me.” He pushed the toy forward until a curved tip kept it from going all the way in. She was filled with the vibe buzzing in her. Her hips rocked. She clung to him, muttering for him to help her. To give her the release he’d promised.
“Make me come,” she begged.
“You’re going to come right now, beautiful.” He sucked her clit hard, grazing his teeth on the tiny hard nub and flicking his tongue over it in quick circular motion. Then he pressed hard on it, and growled. The vibration sent her over the edge.
She screamed loud. Her grip on his hair turned painful and she bucked wildly on his face.
He kept on licking, helping her ride the wave of release and taking every single tiny shudder as his due. He glanced up at her soft smile and dazed eyes.
“You’re so fucking responsive.”
She shook her head. “It’s all you.” Her grip on his hair loosened. “You’re the only man that’s ever made me this desperate.”
“Then let’s keep you going.” He grinned, ready to sink himself in her. She’d said something he’d loved hearing from both his man and animal side. He wanted to be the only man to ever make her feel crazy with need. He wanted her heart along with her sexy body, but he wouldn’t push. In time, he’d get her to accept her feelings for him. There was no rush.
Cool drops of lube landed on her cheeks. A second later, his hand was there, massaging the warming liquid into her ass, kneading her flesh.
"Do you like that?"
That voice of his made her forget everything. Low. Seductive. Rough. It flipped the switch from her being wet to her getting soaked.
She moaned. Christ he was going to be the death of her. Her throat went bone dry with each of her ragged breaths. She dropped her head into the sheet and pushed into the fingers working their way into her asshole. Hell, yes she liked it. She loved it. Loved that he touched her as if she were the sexiest woman in the world.
"Tell me or I'll stop," he whispered, his breath caressing her hip.
No! She couldn’t have that. "Yes, God, Jake. Don't stop."
He added a third finger to stretch her ass. The pressure and biting pain only made her wetter. She’d had no idea this would turn her on so much. It was hard to focus when the vibrator in her pussy increased in speed.
She gasped, pushed back and wiggled on the fingers fucking her ass.
He roped her hair into his grip and tugged. A rumble sounded from Jake. He pulled o
n her hair, forcing her to meet his gaze. The beast under her skin loved it. Nic did too. She loved his rough side with a passion she had no idea she possessed.
"I want you to watch my cock sliding into your sexy ass."
He pulled on her head for her to look at the mirror at the right side of the room. She stared at the scene. Their skin, golden and sweat coated, appeared to shine in the dim light.
Jake grabbed his greased cock, met her gaze and pushed into her.
Her jaw dropped open on a moan. Holy hell that was so incredibly sexy to watch. Her grip on the blankets increased.
"Jesus," he snarled. "Your tight little asshole feels fucking amazing squeezing my dick."
Her nipples rubbed on the blanket, the clamps adding to the sensitivity she already felt.
"Jake..."
He pushed forward when she propelled back, slipping balls deep into her. She swallowed at the lump in her throat. The sensation of him inside of her was amazing. Her pussy clenched around the vibe at the same time her asshole did on his cock.
"Fuck, yes." He slapped her cheek and leaned forward to drop a kiss on her back. "You're the sexiest woman I've ever met."
She wiggled. The throbbing and tightening in her body intensified. Her pussy ached to come. Her animal begged to get a taste of her mate.
"Fuck me," she begged. “Do. Me. Harder.”
He pulled back and then drove forward hard.
Their gazes met in the mirror.
"Do you like it, Nic?" He pulled almost all the way out and thrust deep, groaning when his pelvis touched her cheeks.
She mumbled incoherently and licked her lips.
"Do you like feeling my cock fucking your ass?" He let go of her hair and grabbed handfuls of her ass cheeks. "I love it. I'll never get tired of fucking you." He pushed forward. "I only want your body. It's your pussy my mouth waters to taste." He propelled back. "I'll grow old and you'll still be the only woman to make me hard with a single smile." His thrusts increased in speed. "The only woman I’ll ever want. Period." The combination of the vibrator in her pussy, his words and Jake’s cock in her was surreal.
He tapped her left cheek, the sting only increasing her arousal. She pressed back with a moan.
