Fox narrows his eyes at me. “Do not try to be Scar. You are not our leader.”
Snake hisses in support of our feline brother.
Neither of them shows any sign of stopping what they are doing.
The woman gazes at me, a hint of hurt feelings in her bright eyes as I back up a little more to clear my head. She cannot reach me to touch me again, and for that I am glad. I only have so much self control. It is pathetic how quickly she could strip it away.
Snake cups her breast with his hand, and her eyes flutter closed.
I look at Fox. “We do not know who she is, or why she is out here. You are under the influence of your hormones, Fox. Taking this any further is not a good idea.”
He growls lightly at me. “Can you not tell she is our mate? She is the one woman in this world who is meant for us, Scratch. I will not give her up for anyone, or anything. She is ours to protect now.”
He sounds so sure, and it makes me feel like a villain.
She does feel like she’s ours, like we were fated to meet her and claim her as ours.
It’s not that it doesn’t ring true for me. It does.
That’s what worries me.
What are the chances that our fated mate would meet us here tonight, when our leader is out in town fighting the man who exiled us?
These woods have always been ours at night.
In all the years we’ve lived in The Abyss, we’ve never come close to running into another shifter out here.
Why now? Why tonight? Why her?
“I am not debating that she is our mate,” I tell him. “But we do not know if this is her normal behavior. She may be under the influence of a heat. If that is what is making her crave our touch, then she will not be happy when she is in her right mind and discovers the men who were supposed to protect her took advantage of her.”
He closes his eyes, and I know I have gotten to him.
I am not wrong. Something about this is at best dubious.
It would be unethical to let things progress.
He glowers back at me as Snake makes an irritable sound and takes his hands off the woman, stepping back from them both. He turns away and adjusts his loin cloth while Fox tilts the woman’s head until she is looking at his mouth.
“We should slow down,” he says softly. “So none of us gets hurt.”
She gazes back at him, disappointment in those expressive eyes.
After a few seconds, she nods, and she unwraps her legs, letting him place her feet back on the ground. She lets her arms drop from around his neck, and she suddenly seems much less brazen than she did when we met. She folds her arms, covering her breasts, and her skin flushes when her lowered gaze falls on Fox’s engorged cock.
His loin cloth has slipped around to the side and the hooks around the end of his length are flicking in and out. Her eyes go wide, and she nods slowly, as if she is just now realizing what he meant when he told her he didn’t want anyone to get hurt.
Fox covers himself when he glances down.
He holds out his hand to the woman.
She looks up at him.
“Do you have a home?” he asks, sounding deflated.
She nods, but she doesn’t elaborate.
“Is it safe?”
