Connor still stood staring down the driveway. The minute he spotted me, he straightened but he didn’t come to me; he waited.
When I stood before him, he studied me and the pearled collar, saying nothing. I fidgeted for a moment and then I knew what I needed to do; I knelt before him with my head bowed. “I’m sorry I tried to leave. You are my mate, this is my pack and my home.”
He lifted me to stand before him, cupping my face in his hands for a moment and wiping the last of the tears from my face. “You are sure?”
I smiled up at him, suddenly surer of the future than I had been in a very long time. “Yes. I choose you.”
Connor nodded, then dropped his hands and stepped back. “Then strip and run.”
Excitement filled me as I realized his intent, I stripped as he watched, reveling in every bit of skin revealed to him until I stood naked before him and then with a smile over my shoulder I turned to shift, freeing my wolf, and ran.
It wasn’t long before I could hear my mate chasing me, bent on catching me for all eternity. He came up behind me and began nipping at my flanks, and I turned and snapped at him with a snarl; the she-wolf not wanting to submit without a fight. When he growled and knocked me to the ground, we wrestled around in the leaves, both of us jockeying to be on top. He finally pinned me and closed his teeth around my throat demanding my submission; with a soft whimper I gave it. I was rewarded with a gentle lick along my muzzle and then he let me up with an excited yip and we were running through the woods.
I ran until I got to the edge of the lake and then with a pounce Connor knocked me to the ground playfully this time; nuzzling me briefly before he stood and changed once more into the tall proud man he was; my mate… my alpha.
“Change,” he commanded and as his deep voice wrapped around me I was once more a woman… a woman ready to be claimed. He took me firmly by the arm and led me over to a large rock; to say I was surprised when he sat down and took me face down over his knee would be an understatement.
“Connor, no!” I cried.
“This is for defying me at every turn and putting yourself in harm’s way more than once,” he said as his broad palm began to fall hard and fast on my upturned, naked backside. I whimpered, but instead of fighting him, I found myself wrapping my arms around his leg and holding on tight, submitting to his discipline and finding a peace I never knew existed.
Again and again his hand fell until I was sobbing softly over his knee and then he flipped me upright and kissed the tears from my face “I love you, Xandie. Never try to part from me again.”
“Never, I love you too,” I said tremulously, reaching up to stroke his cheek as I sank into his comforting embrace.
Then he lifted me from his lap. “Get on your hands and knees,” he said, his voice rough with an urgency I shared as I felt the moisture practically dripping from my hot core.
I moved quickly, looking over my shoulder at my mate as I spread my legs wide and wriggled my hips suggestively.
Then he was there thrusting inside me to the hilt with one sure stroke, and we both groaned at the pleasure of our joining. I felt his teeth sink into the flesh where my shoulder met my neck, marking me, and I came instantly with a keening wail.
His hand gripped my hips firmly as he began to take me in a pounding rhythm that stole my breath.
“Yes, Connor! Please!” I cried, desperate for more. Then I pressed my chest to the ground and moved my legs even further apart to take him even more deeply.
In answer to my call he began to hammer in and out of my grasping sheath relentlessly, driving me from one orgasm into another until I could only hoarsely cry out my pleasure. One of his hands reached around me for the top of my clit and rubbed it against his shaft with every thrust. The pleasure was never ending, going on and on until he lunged inside me one last time with a fierce growl and I felt the heat of his seed fill me. We collapsed together onto the ground and snuggled for a moment.
“My precious mate, my heart,” Connor said softly as he pressed a kiss into my shoulder.
“I love you, Connor,” I said as I kissed the arm cradling me so possessively… so tenderly.
My world suddenly spun as Connor sat up and lifted me over him to straddle his waist; his hands cupping my still sore bottom as I sank down onto his rigid erection; the stinging heat in my ass somehow intensifying the pleasure of our joining.
He kissed me deeply as he drove into me hard and fast, using his hands to grip my bottom and move me up and down his thick cock. I stiffened in his arms, screaming his name as an intense orgasm claimed me. This time Connor swallowed my cries, stealing my breath and then giving it back to me. He locked my body tight to his as he powered into me with one last savage thrust, roaring his release. As I felt his hot seed splash my inner walls, I was catapulted into orbit and left free-falling through the stars, but he was there to catch me.
We stayed there, locked together as our breathing returned to normal… skin to skin… chest to chest… heart to heart.
I was lost… I was found… I was home, safe in the arms of my mate, where I knew I belonged.
Epilogue
I waited on my knees in the clearing for my mate. In Connor’s arms I’d found my fears all groundless and discovered the greatest joy I’d ever known. Tonight I would give him everything. He’d taken me many times over during the last month but I’d never given him my ass.
Tonight I would submit to him completely and he would own every part of me; I’d finally accepted that I was his to take in any way he pleased.
I felt the brush of his dark fur against my naked skin before I saw him; then his skin pressed tight against me as he shifted and took me in his arms. He was on his knees behind me, cupping my breasts in his hands and tweaking my nipples as he nibbled along the side of my neck.
I groaned in protest as he released me and pressed my chest down to the ground with a firm hand between my shoulder blades, leaving my bottom arched high. Connor brought his hand down sharply on my vulnerable bottom, making me whimper as the sting filled my ass. “Who does this ass belong to?”
“You, Connor, always you,” I cried as his hand continued to fall, filling my entire backside with heat.
He wrapped one hand in my hair and pulled my head up as he continued to pepper my bottom with hard slaps, as I lifted it to meet his hand. Then he sank two fingers deep inside my hungry sheath, making me cry out.
“Who does this belong to?”
“You… everything I am belongs to you until I draw my last breath,” I cried as my body tried to chase his fingers as he withdrew them.
Then he was there, thrusting deep inside of me and filling all of my empty places. He rode me hard and fast; every slap of his pelvis against my ass reawakening the sting as we rocked together.
Connor bit down sharply on my shoulder where it joined my neck as he took me from one peak straight into another. I came hard with a scream and still he pounded into me quickly, forcing another hard orgasm from me.
My body clamped down hard as he withdrew, not ready to release him, but then he pressed my chest back to the ground.
“Offer yourself to me, mate, give me what is rightfully mine.” His voice was rough with passion.
I reached back, catching a tender cheek in each hand and spread myself wide, offering him everything.
He pressed the head of his cock against my tender hole and began to slowly sink inside; I bit my lip, feeling the burning stretch as my ass opened to him completely for the first time and then he was seated fully inside. I felt filled to capacity, stretched wide on his cock almost to the point of pain but I needed something more.
“Please, Connor,” I whimpered.
He rocked slowly out and back inside, bringing an intense pleasure to mingle with the pain of his possession. “Is this what you need?”
“Yes, Connor… please take me hard… I need you!” I hardly recognized my own ragged speech.
He withdrew almost all the way, then began to take me
with short hard strokes; I began to shiver with pleasure as he moved harder and faster. I pressed my chest even tighter to the ground and moved my legs further apart so I could take him even deeper.
One of his hands snaked around me so he could firmly pinch my clit between two fingers and everything inside me tightened down completely as I came with a shriek.
He thrust twice more, then I could feel his seed bathing my insides as he came. When he pulled out I moaned, almost sad at the loss of contact, but then he pulled me tight into his arms as he pressed kisses into my hair.
“I love you, Xandie.”
I smiled as I turned to kiss him on the chin. “I love you too, Connor, my alpha… my mate… my everything.”

His Girl, His Rules
Though Glory Walters writes erotic novels about firm-handed men who know how to deal with feisty women, she’s ashamed to admit she’s never experienced anything of the sort herself. But then she meets Gabriel—Sergeant Gabriel to the men he leads on the local SWAT team, but Master Gabriel to her—and suddenly the scenes in her books don’t seem so far-fetched anymore.
Gabriel has just been going through the motions in life since his wife’s death four years ago, but almost from the moment he sets eyes on her, he wants Glory as his own. Despite never having been taken in hand before, she responds beautifully to a good, hard, bare-bottom spanking, and his dominant lovemaking leaves her breathless.

Shannon’s sore behind doesn’t keep her from going out with Landon, though, and she soon discovers that having a firm-handed man around can have dire consequences for her backside when she is naughty.
Although a sound spanking is something Shannon seems to receive almost daily, Landon is not opposed to teaching her more intimate and embarrassing lessons should the situation warrant it… and the situation often does. But while Shannon’s misadventures give Landon many opportunities to put her over his knee, the punishments only serve to heighten their desire for one another. Has Shannon truly found the man of her dreams, or is Landon too good to be true?
