“You could have said that earlier, you know. I’m pretty sure I just had my first heart attack.”
Lucien smirks at me. “You’re so dramatic. We had him under control. You think we haven’t dealt with him like this before?”
“Well,Ihaven’t.” I pull myself out of Dušan’s hold, breathing slowly to calm my pulse and chase away the fear strangling me. “So where is he now? Will he come back as himself?”
“He needs time to recover,” Dušan explains. “He’s a Berserker at heart, Meira. Something horrible happened to him and his pack back in Denmark, and the scar of the atrocity turned his wolf into a wild creature that even he sometimes struggles to control.”
I swallow past the boulder in my throat. What have I gotten myself into? “Will he be okay out there alone?” I ask. I’d be lying if I said I’m not intimidated or a bit frightened by him, but what blossomed between us last night pulses just as hard in my chest now.
The crunch of foliage has me lifting my head as Lucien returns, dressed and holding clothes that he hands over to his Alpha. With everything happening, it’s only now that I really notice Dušan’s nudity. The strong expanse of his muscles cut sharply across his chest, abs, and arms. Messy, dark hair hangs over his shoulders and face as he bends forward to step into his pants. I can’t stop my eyes from looking at his cock, how perfect it is, how I remember him claiming me, knotting inside me. Everything about him—about all my Alphas—is beyond sexy. They’re achingly beautiful, these men who have monsters living inside them… as do I, if we can ever manage to bring her out.
When Dušan catches me staring, the corners of his mouth quirk in a devilish grin, his eyes holding a silent promise of what’s to come. “Let’s move. We’ll spend the night in the cottage by the river.” He presses his lips together and glances over to Lucien. Without words, Lucien nods and goes in the opposite direction.
“Where’s he going?” I look out after him.
“To find food. We won’t make it back home by dark, and I want to wait for Bardhyl.”
Warmth curls in my belly. Dušan cares for those close to him, and that I admire about him. In this world, no one gives a shit about others. Maybe that’s why he has such a large pack, why they stay and fight for him. I reach up and pull a leaf out of his hair. He grabs my hand and brings it to his mouth. The kiss sends small sparks up my arm and through my body. Something in his blue eyes flickers, like he feels the sensation as well.
“Are you hurt?” he asks as he draws me toward him, holding me so near, I feel the erection in his pants. Hell, that is fast.
His fingers carefully comb through my messy hair. His scent, masculine and dark, is savage and washes over my senses. Shudders travel through me as his other hand crawls under my top and cups a breast, his fingers pinching my nipple.
I cry out with desire.
“Never run away from me again. We are one. And you are mine.”
My panties melt in moments, and my body has no control when it comes to these wolves. His dominance is an aphrodisiac.
I pant against him, staring at his full lips, picturing them dragging down my body, pressed against my slit, finding my heat. One minute I’m scared for my life, the next I want to jump Dušan. That seems to be normal for me around these Alphas.
“I will never lose you again,” he snarls and swallows loudly, the tendons in his throat moving as he speaks. “I will go into the afterlife itself to collect you if you die on us.”
Dušan
Her gaze widens.
I mean every damn word. These past few days have been torture. When I look into her pale, bronze eyes now, I see a woman who no longer resembles the lost girl I first found in the woods. She’s changed, grown braver, started to find herself.
I lower my head and take a whiff of her sweet scent of cherries, her ruby lips parting expectantly. I squeeze her breast, her nipple pebbled tightly… so damn perfect. My cock twitches in my pants, hardening. Does she even realize what impact she has on me… on all of us? I never truly understood the connection between fated mates, even when Lucien explained it and I witnessed his excruciating agony. Nothing prepared me for the force that now wreaks havoc on my heart.
She looks up at me, her fingers curling around the fabric of my long-sleeved tee, and grinds her body against me. Our lips melt together. Heat and sweetness fill me when her tongue curls with mine. I draw her closer and kiss her back deeply, drowning in her growing slick scent that has my groin pulsing. I drive my hardness against her, and she moans in my mouth. My heart pounds faster.
Fuck, I’ve missed her. All I can picture is stripping her and taking her against a tree. Before I can stop myself, I walk her back, pinning her against a trunk, and plaster myself against her small form.
I was hers first, and she will always be mine. Gorgeous and fiery. But fucking her now isn’t going to work. We’re out in the open and in dangerous territory.
“You do such things to me,” she breathes. “My body responds in ways I can’t understand.” She kisses me again, thrusting her breasts against my chest. Then her hand lowers and slides into the front of my pants. She grasps my cock, and I hiss with desperate need.
“Take me,” she begs, and it drives me wild. Her mouth is on mine again, and she’s biting my lips, her scent engulfing me, drowning me.
I tear my mouth from hers with all the inner strength I have. “Not here, Meira. When I fuck you, I will take my time, make you scream.”
She protests with a groan that drives me insane, then she falls to her knees before me. Her hunger shudders me to the core as I struggle to hold mine back. I shouldn’t have started this, because one touch awakens the savage essence that brings an Omega and Alpha together. Her need grows.
Her fingers pull at my pants, unbuttoning them, and my cock springs out, so fucking erect it aches.
I should sayno, but the irresistible desire pushes and pushes me.
