If I could grin, I would. She’ll know damn well how much hearing that pleased me the moment I shift. Pride flows through me and I huff in agreement as I pad over swiftly to be closer to her. Her delicate hand grabs the knife, but before retrieving it she looks back at me. “I thought we could keep him for Devin.” Although it’s a statement, it’s clear she’s asking me. My hackles raise, realizing she knows more of me than I know of her. She waits for my nod and then she removes the knife. It’s a silver blade. He’ll heal with time, but we’ll deal with him before he has a chance to come to. I watch her skilled moves while coming to terms with the situation. My mate is a vampire and she knows of Devin. Numerous questions pile in my mind, but in wolf form I’m unable to speak. Standing, she places the bloody blade behind her back and tilts her head as she takes me in.

Her dark eyes travel down my body. Although she’s shorter than I am, we’re the same height while I’m standing on all four paws in my wolf form.

“Lie down.” Her command makes me grin inwardly. I’m so fucking turned on it hurts. I need to shift so I can play this game with her. Obeying my mate, I settle on the ground in the brick alley. A low rumble vibrates my chest as she spears my fur with her small hands, petting me. She moves in front of me and takes my large head in her grasp before gently scratching my chest. Her touch on me is a heaven I didn’t know existed. I resist the urge to close my eyes so I can stare back at her while enjoying her touch. A small smile plays at her lips as she watches her fingers disappear in my thick, soft fur. All too quickly, she stops. Her smile vanishes as she glances at the bodies around her.

She purses her lips and looks behind us at my tattered and shredded outfit. “You ruined your clothes.” I sit up, making me about a foot taller than her so I tower over her, but she maintains eye contact. “What are you going to wear now?” Is she admonishing me? “I’m going to need help moving these bodies and storing him in the trunk.” Her thumb points to the incapacitated shifter. “I have silver rope in the back of the car, but how the hell am I going to carry him?” Her tongue clucks as she surveys the scene. “You need clothes. Do you have any?” I shake my head, causing her dark eyes to narrow. “Shift.”

My mate is … testing me. I allow a moment to pass, observing her and she stares back at me, her confidence disappearing for only a moment. “Please,” she adds, dragging out the word as if she’s not used to saying it.

That’s better. All I can think before I shift back is that my mate is going to challenge me, push me, command me even … and I’m eager to play and to do the same in return.

Vince

Tossing her keys on the bedside table in the hotel room, I perk up as I hear the shower being turned on. I buried the human and the two shifters in the woods after tying up the remaining one with silver rope and locking him in Veronica’s trunk. Her name was the first thing I requested. I can’t get over the way the four syllables roll off my tongue.

Time was short between us, though, with barely any words spoken other than a hastily devised plan. Bury the three, throw the other in the back of her trunk and then lie low at this hotel.

After all of that, a shower is desperately needed and then I have to call Devin. He needs to know everything and more importantly, that we have a shifter roped in silver to interrogate.

The fucker pissed all over himself, but he’ll live. For now. I don’t know how long that’ll last once Devin finds out what they were planning.

I strip out of the jeans and simple white T-shirt my mate got me. The shirt barely fits, but I think she likes seeing it stretched tight across my broad shoulders. She knew damn well I needed a larger size.

So far I’ve learned my mate is opinionated. She likes what she likes, and I’m hard as a fucking rock for her. Every little detail about her seems to scream to me to pay attention. From the way a soft accent lingers on a few of her words, to the way she tucks her jet-black hair behind her ear to accentuate her slender neck. I crave every inch of her.

Every step I take toward the bathroom makes my dick harder as I imagine my gorgeous mate wet and naked, waiting for me to ravage her. Palming myself, I stroke a few times.

The bathroom door opens with a soft creak, allowing the steam to billow out and I find her wrapped in a towel. Her hair’s dry and she’s rubbing some balm that smells like honey into her shoulders. There’s a large dark bruise covering the crook of her neck and the sight of it makes me growl deep and low.

They hurt her. I was right fucking there and they laid hands on her. Weakness and anger war within me. I was right there and I didn’t protect her. The bastard in the trunk is lucky that she wants to give him to Devin. If it were up to me, he’d be dead like the rest of them. I know vampires heal, but obviously they don’t heal as fast as we do.

“Vince.” My name on her lips pulls my attention from my dark thoughts.

“Don’t be so upset, pup. It’s just a little bruise.” Her dark eyes twinkle with mischief when they meet my silver gaze in the mirror.

Pup. If I wasn’t feeling as if I’ve failed her already, only hours into meeting my mate, I’d smirk at her nickname for me. Pup. I imagine once she discovers what I can do to her, she won’t be using that word anymore.

As it is, my gaze falls back to the bruise. “I don’t like to see you marked.”

She smiles devilishly before turning around and unwrapping her towel. The white cotton falls to form a puddle around her feet, revealing her light brown skin that looks flawless.

Peeking over her shoulder, she toys with me. “You don’t want to put your mark on me then?”

I groan in approval. My dick gets impossibly harder and lust rages in my blood at the sight of her gorgeous curves. My mate. I part my lips to speak as I walk toward her, but she stops me by putting one slender finger against my lips. “Uh, uh, uh. I want my big bad wolf on his knees.” Smirking, I obey my mate. I love this little game. Just the thought of her putting a collar and leash on me makes precum leak from my slit. She can do what she pleases as I learn her boundaries.

“You want me to lick you first?” I question.

I kneel in front of her and gently place my hands on the back of her thighs, petting her smooth skin and testing my limits. She allows it and I smile up at her in gratitude before nuzzling my nose between her thighs and inhaling her arousal. She’s wet already. Wanting me as much as I want her. My groan matches the desire in her moan. She leans back against the counter, spreading her legs a little wider. “Good boy. Enjoy your treat.”

I can’t help but to grin against her pussy. Pup. Good boy. Kneel. If she wants to be in control, who am I to turn down a good time? Besides, it’s enticing. I’ve never met a woman like her. I’ve never craved this like I do now.

A rough chuckle vibrates through my chest and I smile into her heat before taking a long, languid lick through her lips. Fuck. She tastes just like honey too. Moaning into her heat, I suck on her clit. I massage her with my hot tongue and pick up my pace as she mewls louder and runs her hands through my hair. My tongue dips between her folds and I lap up her honey. I pull back to look at her glistening opening before shoving my tongue deep inside her and she bucks against me. I’d smile at her arousal but I don’t want to let up tongue fucking her.

My hands grip onto her thighs to hold her tighter as she starts to tremble, already close as her breathing picks up, my fingers digging into her skin. I pull away to run my tongue along her length and suck her clit back into my mouth before she can protest. Her small hands push me against her.

I slow my movements as she gets closer to her release, her thighs tightening as she holds her breath. I want to hear her beg me to get her off. I want this sexy-as-fuck, dominant woman to beg me for her release. She moans my name and pushes me into her harder. My name. My name is what she pleads for.

She may be greedy, but I’m full of pride. I suck her clit back into my mouth but slow my movements as her hands shake in my hair and her pussy clenches. Imagining her body shuddering in my arms while her orgasm rocks through her makes me leak more precum onto the bathroom floor. Impossibly hard, I want nothing more than to push her against the wall and fuck her so I can feel her come on my dick. I stop my movements as she moans my name louder. I grin before taking another languid stroke against her wanting heat.
