We walked quietly back up the path, her in front, me behind. I wanted to make sure I could look and scope out the environment. I didn’t want any other surprises.
“No one is going to jump at us from the bushes,” Shayla said, turning to look at me. “It’s over.”
I hated that I couldn’t talk to her in my current state, but I wasn’t willing to shift in that moment and possibly put us in danger. I remembered that there were three guys the night of my attack and only two had shown up today. Their friend could be here, waiting, lurking.
Once we got to Shayla’s house, I didn’t waste any time shifting back into human form as soon as I knew Shayla was safe and there was no immediate danger. When it was all said and done, I saw Shayla sitting on the couch watching me intently.
“It will get easier,” I said, walking over to her.
“I’m not complaining,” she said, wrapping her arms around my naked body, making my cock rock hard just from her mere touch. “I’ve got to admit, as beautiful as you are as a wolf, you are a work of art as a man,” she whispered in my ear before giving it a little nip.
“Baby, if you keep touching me like that, I may have to take you up against the wall.”
“I don’t see a problem with that.”
“Woman, don’t tempt me. I need to keep my head about me right now. We have some talking to do.”
“Talking is overrated,” she hummed, gliding her hands down my body and cupping me in the palm of her soft hand. As much as I wanted to forget everything that had happened, and bury myself deep inside of her, I knew that there were things we needed to talk about. I scooped her up in my arms as she yelped, and carried her off to the sofa. I sat down and adjusted her on top of me, in an angle that made my throbbing cock hurt a little less with the need of feeling her warmth.
“I know you’re independent. You’ve always had to be. But you are mated to a shifter and we need to protect our women. There are rules. Especially around other males, especially shifters.”
“I’m sorry about that,” she whispered, placing her head on my shoulder. “I’m just not good at having to answer to anyone.”
“Hey,” I said, lifting her head up with my fingers so that I could look into her eyes. “I love you. You’re my mate and you are absolutely everything to me. I would tear the world apart to make sure no harm would ever come to you. I need you to follow some rules to make sure I don’t rip an innocent person’s head apart.”
Shayla cast down her eyes, avoiding my own, and I hated it.
“Look at me,” I said, tilting her head up. “I don’t ever want anything I say to upset you. But the shifter world is complicated and my job as your mate is to protect us. To protect you. But know this, sweet girl, I would die to make you happy. I would do anything for you. I live for you. You are the center of my entire world, for now and ever.”
I grabbed Shayla and pressed my lips to hers, pushing her down on my body, allowing her to feel the full force of my erect cock. In that moment, I needed her more than I needed to breathe.
“I’m going to fuck you now, baby. I’m gonna fuck you so hard that we forget this entire day and only feel each other. Forever.”
Chapter 8
Shayla
I skipped around him and peeled off my clothes, already turned on by his filthy words.
“You’ll have to catch me first!” I threw my nightgown at him with a smile. His eyes widened and a growl escaped his lips as he stalked me as if I was his prey. I giggled and ducked into the bathroom shower, turning on the water and squealing when the cold rained down on my hot skin. He held my eyes with an intense gaze, as my heart began to pound when I realized I would have company in the shower after all.
Delicious anticipation uncurled in my stomach.
He undid the buttons of his shirt one by one, his eyes never leaving mine, and then yanked his shirt out of his pants. My heart hammered; my nipples hardened and ached in anticipation of his touch. I held eye contact with him while I slid my hand down my slippery body. My fingers found my pussy and began to massage in slow circles. His eyes widened at me, and I could see his breathing pick up. I took a deep breath and leaned back against the tile wall of the shower, letting the water cascade down my body. My head tipped back and I began to massage harder, while my other hand slid up to my breast to play with my nipple. I bit my lip and a moan rolled out of my throat.
