But he wanted me, and I had to have him. I dropped my bag and the herbal pouch, then clawed at his neck, wrenching him closer, our mouths clashing. His hardness pressed against my stomach. No reservations, only his actions, promisingexhilaration.
His hands skipped down my spine and cupped my ass, shoving me hard against the wall, our bodies plastered together. Breaths merged, and I moaned as he licked the length of my neck, his hands prying open my vest and top and his attention lowered to my cleavage. His hand slid inside, cupping a breast, kneading, my nipple beaded into apebble.
Arousal consumed me and clothes had to go. The fear vanished. I needed Nero in control, for me tosurrender.
I reached down between us and grabbed hold of his erection… so hard and big. A grunt tore out of him. Was it wrong of me to want this stranger to take me, to make mescream?
A guttural growl echoed throughout the house, and I choked at thesound.
Nero froze, halfway through biting down on the fabric of my top. He glanced up at me and smiled as if he knew something I didn’t. “We better go,” he declared, as if he hadn’t just brought me to the verge of an orgasm with a singlekiss.
I took a breath before asking, “What wasthat?”
He broke away, and a chill found me. The moment he opened the door, a rush of cool air brushed past. I couldn’t move when my thoughts stayed on Nero and how I might encourage him to keep kissingme.
Slumped against the wall, I gasped for air. I could barely move, let alone attemptwalking.
“Little lamb, the time has come to meet Dagen and for you help us with our problem.” He stretched out an arm, his palm upward, his fingers extended towardme.
At first, I couldn’t find my voice. Confusion tore at my mind and emotions, from the threat prickling down my spine to the horniness to finish what Nero and I had started. I knew nothing about him, yet I was ready to give myself completely. Had he used a charm to seduce me? I’d heard tales of people getting kidnapped by wolves. And meeting with this Dagen had me shaking as I recalled the way he had stared at me in the woods while in his wolf form. Dagen had to be the alpha in charge. But in any case, it wasn’t as if I knew a way out of this house, so I’d play along until I found an escape, then I’d do what it took to get out. Though I kept wondering what in the world he’d done to make me fall over myself to kisshim.
I picked up the dropped herbs, stuffed them into the bag, and accepted his hand. The guy towered over me, bigger than any man I’dencountered.
Nero guided me the dark hallway with doors and now windows, the tapping of our footsteps on floorboards sounding around us. “Where are we?” Iasked.
We took a sharp left at the end before he pushed open a door with a ragged hole in the bottom paneling as if someone had kickedit.
Unease hurt my stomach, and each inhale grew shorter,faster.
“This is one of Oryn’s places,” Nero explained, as if I should know who thatwas.
Was Oryn the blackwolf?
Nero drew me by the hand into a bedroom illuminated by a candle on a bedside table. In the middle of the room sat a bed with a man lying on his back covered by a woolen blanket that went up to his waist. The room smelled sickly sweet of wet dog fur. Shadows shrouded the corners, and again, there were no windows. What was the deal with that? Nero pulled free from my hand and approached the bed, placing a palm to the man’sforehead.
“Is he sick?” I closed the distance, my boots clip-clopping against the wooden floorboards, when a growl echoed from myright.
I flinched, my pulse jolting into hyper mode, just as a blur rushed me from theshadows.
A cry fell from my throat, and I stumbled backward as something huge, black, and fast crashed into me. My feet tangled, and I fell over, hitting the floor. A wolf’s snout hovered inches over my face, lips peeled back, fangs on display. Hot breath streamed over me. The guttural sound of death churned through hischest.
I yelled as the animal straddled over me, my arms across my face, expecting my throat to be tornout.
“Oryn, back off.” Nero’s voiceboomed.
He pressed a foot against the wolf’s rump. “Now!” hehowled.
Nothing made me want to meet Oryn if this was the welcoming he offered. He was the type of wolf that those terrifying shifter horror stories were basedon.
With a final snarl, Oryn leaped off me and paced around the bed, grumbling tohimself.
Was he angry because I was in his home? I’d gladly leave if that was thecase.
Nero grabbed my forearm and wrenched me to my feet so fast, I bumped into his side. “It’s all right, little lamb. Don’t pay Oryn any mind. He’s just in a pissymood.”
I met the wolf’s gaze from across the bed. He didn’t move, but he watched me. He’d eat me if he got the chance. I felt it in mybones.
Dread sat in my chest, eroding the last threads of confidence I held on to. I sidled up against Nero, his warmth driving away the terror clenching to myribs.
