“I’ll be gone for a day, two at most. Stay with him until then.” She starts to protest, but I talk over her, finishing the thought. “If you want to leave when I get home, I’ll take you back.” Saying the words crumples my chest and makes my wolf snarl with denial. I don’t know if the words are true. I don’t know if I could actually let her leave, but I need to give her this so she’ll stay just a little longer.
Her eyes, glossy with tears, stare into mine. I don’t know what she’s searching for in order to agree, but I fucking hope she finds it. She nods her head, looking solemn and resolved to leave us. She turns her body toward the village, ready to leave me, but I’m not ready to leave her. I’ll be gone and the moment I get home she may be ready to leave, or worse, she may have already left. I just need one more moment with her.
“I should punish you for this.” I growl the words in her ear. My dick hardens at the thought. I remember the way it felt when she pushed against me. When I first touched her and felt the spark, the pull to her, the need for her. I place my hand around her neck and run my thumb down her throat. “What do you think Emma? Do you want to leave me now? Do you want to run from me?”
I’m playing with fire. Pushing her like this. But fuck I want it. Let her try to run from me. I’ll catch her and pin her to the ground like I’ve fantasized. Her eyes haze with lust knowing exactly what I want from her.
“You want me to run?” Her breathy voice makes my wolf howl with need.
“I want you to tell me to stop.” She looks at me with confusion. But I need this. I need to know that I won’t cross the line. “Say it now.”
“Stop.” She barely speaks the word and I move closer to her, crowding her space.
“Say it again.”
“Stop.” She speaks clearly this time.
“Good girl.” I kiss the dip in her throat. “I’m going to punish you, but I want you to enjoy this.” I kiss her lips gently. “If you want me to stop.” I kiss her neck. “All you need to do it say the word.” I lean back, wanting to ensure that she understands.
“Okay.” Her answer is breathy. Even if she wants to leave, she still wants me. At least once more.
“If it gets too much?”
“I’ll say stop.”
“Good girl. Now try running from me, sweetness.” I move my hand to the back of her head and lean down to give her a gentle kiss, before nipping her lip. “Just try running and see how I’ll punish you. It’s what I should be doing to you right now.” I pull away slowly, watching her dark eyes spark with desire. The smell of her arousal floods my lungs. Maybe she’ll allow us for the sake of relief from her heat. Afterall, now that her body knows us, she’ll feel this way every heat. She’ll need us. I cling to the hope that it will be enough. As soon as my hand drops to my side, she bolts. I watch her duck in between trees and run away from me, deeper into the forest. It hurts something deep inside me, but I push it aside and run after my mate.
My heavy strides crush everything in my path. I don’t bother letting her get far. I need to be inside her. I need to feel her body against me. I want nothing more than to hear her moaning my name and telling me that she loves me again. I grab her small waist and wrap my arms around her body as she fights against my hold. I easily pin her body down and put my teeth to her neck. Another wave of her heat hits me as I rock my erection between her slit, feel her honey coat my dick. It’s far too easy to push the shirt above her hips and feel her soft body under mine.
She pushes against me as I nudge my dick into her heat and growl the words I desperately need to say while breathing into her neck, “Don’t you ever fucking think about leaving me again.” Before she can respond, before she can even truly register my words, I slam into her to the hilt and rut violently into her warmth. I’m desperate for her pleasure. I need her to come on my dick just as much as I need to come inside of her. I pound into her. I’m fueled by my need to claim her.
I’m struck by a thought that makes me eager to come. I growl with triumph as I ruthlessly fuck my mate in the dirt. My hands grip her ass and tilt her up so I hit her clit with every downward stroke. My fingers dig into her hips as her back arches off the ground.
I pound into her, slamming to the hilt each time. I grab her throat and squeeze, not enough to bruise her or to cut off oxygen, but enough to show her my strength and pin her there. With one hand on her hip and the other on her throat, I watch as her body jolts with each hard, merciless thrust. Fucking hell, she’s gorgeous like this. A flush rising up her chest, her sultry eyes staring into mine. It doesn’t take long for her pussy to clamp down on my dick, while her head falls back and she screams out in pleasure. The image of her overwhelmed with the pleasure I gave her is all I need. I come instantly.
“I love you, Owen.” She turns her head to the side, trying to hide herself as she starts to cry. It shreds me. She moves away from me the moment she can, leaving me wanting. “I’m so sorry. I love you.”
The moment is over before its begun. Her sorrow is a knife to my heart. I know she loves me; she doesn’t need to say it.
“I love you, Emma.” I kiss her hair and hold her to my chest, hoping she knows just how much she means to me. Thank God she lets me hold her.
I’ve never lived without my brother; I can’t imagine taking his mate away from him. Making him leave or leaving with his mate, either option would be akin to killing him myself. But how could I let my mate leave me? If he doesn’t win her over, I don’t know what the fuck I’m going to do.
EMMA
I’m so torn and confused. My heart’s twisted in my chest. Aching with the need to stay with Owen. I was prepared to leave them behind and go back to my old life. I have enough information to make a decent manuscript. There’s so much more to learn, but I can’t risk staying any longer. I can’t risk them claiming me. The heat is hard enough. I can barely think straight with it.
I do know one thing though; I’m falling hard for Owen. I know he already has my heart. But I can’t come between him and his brother. I don’t see myself with Luke. Ever. I don’t care that I’m his mate. I just can’t be with someone who thinks so little of me. Like I’m just expected to spread my legs for him. I’ll never beg someone to love me.
Owen’s already left. He said it will only be a day or two, but this fucking heat is killing me. I’m primed for another orgasm, already missing his touch. Every second seems to raise the threshold of pleasure. I close my eyes and grip the sheets harder, trying to repress the aching need between my legs. I tried satisfying myself before, which only made me more desperate for their touch. The sound of the door makes me open my eyes.
Luke.
I stare at the rugged man in front of me and the very sight of him makes my heart twist in agony. He looks the same, dark and intense, but his eyes are mournful. The dominance and power that were so much a part of his image no longer exist. I fist the sheets tighter, resisting the urge to touch him. A base need deep inside me pleads with me to comfort him. I agreed to stay here. But I have no intention of giving any more of myself to him.
“You’re in pain.” I keep my eyes closed, ignoring how fucking sexy his voice is. How the deep rumble of it soothes the anger in me.
“I’m fine.” I say it with as flat of a voice as I’m able, but it manages to come out needy.
