He looked so hungry.

Like he wanted to eat her.

Uncontrollable shivers faded to a full-on flaming need.

His nostrils flared. Could he smell her desire for him? She grew still—prey caught in the wolf’s sights.

She shook her head. Think, Sadie. Get your head out of bed with him and on task. But still. Aidan was in her apartment, mere feet from her bed. That mixed with their heated attraction for each other, well, a girl could only have so much restraint.

NO.

She couldn’t go there. It only spelled trouble.

Aidan stalked across her small apartment, the shadows of the night playing across his strong features. He stood only a few inches from her now, glowing pupils dilated. Heat radiated from him to stroke along her bare arms. With his shoulders back and gaze trained on her, she stiffened against the dining room table at her back.

She flexed her fingers around the rim of hardwood and tilted her head back to meet his gaze.

Aidan leaned in the last few inches separating them to run his nose along the sensitive skin of her neck.

Could he hear her heart pounding a hole through her chest?

“Do you fear me, Sadie?” His chest rumbled against hers with his growled question next to her ear.

What kind of question was that? Her breath caught and she shifted slightly. “No. Yes. Maybe? I know you won’t hurt me, but…”

“But what?” he coaxed as he fingered a lock of her hair and brought the strands up to breathe in her scent.

“But I can’t think with your mouth this close to mine.”She was so close to just reaching out for a small kiss to feel what his warm lips would be like on hers one more time.

“Mmm. You smell of strawberries. My favorite fruit.”

Goddess, his voice sounded so dreamy.

She connected their gazes. “Your eyes. They have that glow again. The blue mixed with red. Only it’s redder than blue now. Stop dodging my question and just tell me why already.”

“Because you’re my mate, damn it, Sadie.” His husky voice was a sensual tug on her libido.

What? Never had her brows climbed so high or her mouth hung open so wide.

“You’re kidding?”

What the Hades did she step into now? And did she care? Having an overly hexed alpha pressing up against her wasn’t so bad. The way his hard cock rubbed against the sweet spot between her legs stole every good thought she could muster.

She needed to stop. What she felt was nothing more than a façade brought on by the potion. She mentally chided herself, but it did no good.

He hovered over her, waiting.

She shook her head with a drawn-out sigh, causing her long dark hair to swish against her back and arms. His gaze followed the motion and settled on her breasts. With his body flush against hers, he pushed forward until he had her on the table and him between her legs. His shaft strained against the confines of his jeans and created a delicious friction between her legs as he ground a slow rhythm.

Her heart danced, and her breath came in short bursts. She finally had the alpha where she wanted him and there wasn’t a thing she could do about it. Damn stubborn morals. She wouldn’t take advantage of him while he was under her spell.

Judging others who didn’t have a problem using potions to get what they wanted wasn’t her thing, but she had her hard limits.

Working with unstable magic came with risks. She understood that. Love potions were unpredictable, but no, did she listen to reason? And the damn wolf had swallowed three times the dosage in one gulp.

“Um, Aidan.”

“I can smell your need for me, baby. Feel you reaching out. My wolf is going mad for a taste of you.” A pulsing pressure budded to life in her core and worked its way along her nerves.
