CHAPTER 15
Shannon woke with a start. It was still dark, but the full moon had risen over the tops of the plateaus, filling the valley with a ghostly, silver-blue light. The scent of alpha musk surrounded her, lifting goosebumps all across her skin, and hardening her nipples with arousal.
“Shannon…”
The voice spoke to her from somewhere nearby. A deep, rumbling voice that seemed to penetrate to her very core. Something stirred at her feet. Something large.
Shannon’s sleep-blurred eyes snapped into focus on the figure crouching before her, its broad shoulders and powerful arms limned in the pale light of the full moon. The figure’s face was concealed by shadows, but she could make out the long, straight hair and gleaming eyes—and the alpha sign, curling like a ribbon of gold across shoulder and chest.
Logan.
“I know what you are,” the alpha growled.
Shannon’s heart skipped. How could he know? Had he seen her sign somehow? She was still wearing the fake bandage, plus her long underwear, which covered her arms completely. There was no way the alpha could have discovered her sign without waking her.
Her scent, then?
No way. She’d taken a dose of elixir right before nightfall just to be safe.
Shannon’s body was frozen in terror. All she could do was sit there and stare at the dark alpha crouching in front of her like a mountain lion getting ready to pounce. Her heart was beating so hard and fast, it felt like it was going to explode out of her chest.
“I know what you are,” Logan growled again, and this time he added: “Omega.”
Slowly, his hand reached out and grabbed the edge of the blanket, gently pulling it aside to expose Shannon’s body clad in long underwear and socks. The night air was cold, but the heat of the alpha’s eyes seemed to warm her like the rays of the sun at high noon.
“Omega…”
Logan prowled forward on all fours. Despite his incredible size, his movements were utterly silent. Shannonwantedto run, but instead she lay back, allowing the enormous alpha to move into position above her. Shewantedto close her legs, but instead she opened them even wider, spreading herself out for him like a harlot.
The alpha nestled his pelvis against her center, and she felt him pressing against her through the fabric of her underwear. He was naked, she realized. Naked and aroused. She lifted her hips, grinding her crotch against his hard length.
“Do you want this, omega?” Logan said, rocking back against her. “Do you want to feel it inside you?”
Heat surged through Shannon’s body like liquid fire. It rushed down her legs to the tips of her toes and back up again to her throbbing center. Warm arousal seeped out of her, soaking the crotch of her long underwear. The elixir had failed her, and no amount of self control could withstand the primal urges boiling up inside of her now. She wasn’t a woman anymore. She was an animal in heat, and the thing she needed was right on top of her, naked and ready and purring with lust.
She felt a howl welling up in her throat, but before she could let it out, Logan’s mouth was on her own, his soft lips soothing her and silencing her, even as his tongue stoked her heat to new and dangerous levels.
At last, she went limp beneath him, and he drew his lips away from hers.
“Shh,” Logan whispered. “You mustn’t make too much noise, little omega. There are dangerous things in this desert.”
“What about Tanner?” she asked.
A deep, whiskey-smooth voice answered from the darkness behind her.
“Right here.”
Shannon tilted her head back and gasped. The other alpha was kneeling behind her, every bit as naked and aroused as his companion. His right fist was curled around his erect cock, slowly stroking up and down the hard length of his shaft. He grinned, and his white teeth gleamed in the moonlight.
“Beg your pardon, little omega. I didn’t mean to frighten you.”
“You knew too?” Shannon whimpered. “How?”
Tanner chuckled darkly. “Are you kidding? Just look at you. I knew what you were as soon as I saw you walk through the swinging doors at Rosie’s. You thought you could hide it with your cowboy clothes and suppressant elixir, but you were wrong.”
“You know about the elixir?”
“That’s right. I found it in your pack—and I poured it all out.”
