“Your heat will come on quicker if you are hungry, angry, or with need,” he told me flatly as he stayed behind me. “You’re all three, pup.”

I heard others come in, and the scent of blood filled my nose. I don’t know if they heard my moan, but I heard the sound of the cell door opening, and when I turned, he was in the cell with me.

Cannon appeared bigger than before. His muscles were more defined, his hair longer, and his eyes a deeper green that held me captive.

“The only way out is past me,” he told me, pulling off his shirt, and I hated how quickly I drank in his naked flesh. I felt an uncomfortable throbbing between my legs, which only intensified as I watched him toss his shirt behind him.

His feet were bare, and his dark jeans hung too low, showing off his every sculpted muscle. His body was such a distraction that as he walked toward me, I didn’t even register that a deer was being dragged into the cell behind him. A different hunger rode my needs now.

The cell wasn’t big when I was in it alone, but with him in it, I couldn’t get enough air.

Somewhere deep inside me, rational, sarcastic Kezia was reminding me I was in an open-bar cell, and suffocation was the least of my worries.

All I could see was the alpha male in front of me, who my body was burning for.

“Leave us,” he murmured, and I heard the sound of the cell door closing as he stood over me, my heart racing as he looked down at me with hooded eyes.

“Get on your knees,” he commanded me softly, and I scrambled into position on the cot, the mattress firm enough underneath me.

Even on the cot as I rested on my knees, he towered over me.

“How many heats have passed since you left the peak?” His finger ran along my jaw, dipping under my chin, tilting my head back farther to look at him.

“I don’t know,” I answered truthfully. “My first one was when I was there, then I missed one, maybe two, so this could be my third…maybe my fourth?”

His thumb rubbed over my bottom lip gently, a flare of heat in his eyes as my tongue darted out and licked it. “You don’t know?” he asked, withdrawing his thumb, his knuckles tracing over my cheek before his fingers slid into my hair, tightening there as he held my head firm. “You haven’t had a full heat yet. That’s why they’re coming so quickly to you when you’re in your human form.”

That made sense. Each time, I had shifted to my wolf, and then when I was human again, the pain and desires were gone.

Cannon leaned down to me. “How many men have you let fuck you?” His grip tightened slightly. “How many humans have been between those legs?”

“None,” my voice was a whisper. I was completely enthralled with him as he stared down at me, and I once more saw the heat in his eyes at my confession.

“And in the wild?”

I shook my head slightly. “Never.” I swallowed against the lump in my throat.

His mouth claimed mine. He didn’t hesitate or ask permission, and I didn’t want him to. My mouth opened as he kissed me, his tongue sliding against mine as I scrambled off my knees to meet his kiss. With my hands digging into his shoulders, I hardly noticed when he effortlessly lifted me off the cot, my legs wrapping around his waist as he pushed me against the cell bars.

Cannon’s hands gripped my ass as we kissed, his lower body pushing into where I desperately needed to feel him. His lips left mine, trailing hungrily along my jaw, down my neck, nipping at my shoulder, and then he pushed my shirt open. The flannel shirt had been cleaned and returned, but I heard his growl as he ripped it open more with one hand. His mouth covered my breast, his teeth and tongue finding my nipple effortlessly, and my groan as he stroked over it had him murmuring his approval.

My heat was untamed.

My body was on fire, and every stroke of his tongue, touch of his fingers, and kiss of his lips only fueled the flames.

He switched to the other breast, and the fire burned hotter within me. “Luna,” I whispered hoarsely as he sucked on my breasts.

I felt his hand glide along the inside of my thigh, reaching the apex of my thighs, where no one other than me had ever touched before. A light stroke over my sex had me gripping him tighter. The fire within me burned hotter as my blood felt like it boiled through my veins.

“Cannon!” I groaned as his finger stroked over me again. A touch so light had me crying out for more, my moan quickly smothered as he kissed me again. Strong, sure fingers brushed over me skillfully as his mouth claimed me.

Cannon drew his head back, his eyes meeting mine. I saw the heat and desire, so it confused me when he pulled away as I tried to capture his lips with mine.

“What?” I gasped, squirming as his fingers slowed, then his hand was on my thigh. “No, I need?—”

“Shift.”

I’d let my guard down.
