My face heated, and I pressed my lips together. “Uh,” I said, trying to bide time.

“Cole, are you blushing?” Marley sounded amused.

“It’s just…listen, it’s a wolf thing, and it’s kind of embarrassing. Essentially, claiming is a very feral, kind of unhinged sex act that would...claim you as mine.”

She was quiet for a long time, and we passed three exits as she processed that information. I could sense the gears turning in her head. By the time she spoke again, my left knee was bouncing. I’d wanted to avoid the embarrassment of having this conversation with my human mate.

“So, your father basically suggested that you rail me as soon as we arrive?”

Marley’s words were so direct, so vulgar compared to her normal way of talking, that I barked a laugh. She’d never referred to sex as railing, not even when she was at her most turned-on and minx-like.

Once my laughter subsided, I shook my head. “I mean, I don’t think he would use those exact words.”

“What exactly is involved in this ‘unhinged’ sex act?”

“You really want to talk about this?”

The car’s air conditioning wafted her scent toward me. I glanced at her to confirm what I’d sniffed. Sure enough, she was nibbling on her lower lip and pressing her thighs together.

“Marley,” I chastised gently.

“Eyes on the road!” she shouted as she grabbed my chin and turned my gaze back ahead.

But there were almost no cars on this secluded stretch of highway, so I had a feeling the gesture had nothing to do with driving safely and everything to do with how embarrassed she was by her own curiosity.

God, she was so fucking cute. I couldn’t fathom how she had the capacity to be so sensual and so preciously adorable at the same time. I kept my eyes on the road as she’d commanded, but I couldn’t help but grin like an idiot.

“What’s that dumb smile for?” she muttered.

“You’re curious,” I teased.

“Well, I mean, you have been a corrupting influence on me! Like, I was happy to get a quick little missionary session and go on my merry way. You’re the one who introduced me to...to...”

She trailed off, and I felt a predatory, hungry curl of temptation I couldn’t resist.

“To...face-fucking?”

“Cole...” she warned.

“And hair pulling?”

The smell of her arousal—honey and Georgia peaches—filled the car even more.

“Why do you love messing with me so much?” she asked. “It’s like you’re trying to embarrass me!”

“How can I not when you make it so fun?” I teased.

“Are you going to tell me about this heinous sex act, or are you going to leave it to my imagination?”

“You know, I think I will leave it to your imagination.”

I could feel her gaze on me, the burn of her frustration scraping against my own emotional landscape. It only made me smile wider.

“You’re a real dick sometimes,” she grumbled.

“And yet, you still love me,” I said.

“Against my will,” she insisted, but then she laughed and sank a little deeper into her seat. “If I wind up pouncing you as soon as we’re settled in, let the record show that it was entirely your fault.”
