My heart ached, I wanted to earn that loyalty from her, but I wasn’t worthy of it. I couldn’t dwell on this. I had to stop flirting and move on. “Watch and learn.”

I shifted, my body easily falling into the routine, finding my wolf with ease. I’d been drilled on this over and over as a boy until it became like breathing. After a few heartbeats, I shifted back, returning to my human form. Then I took a few steps, and shifted again, ran around some trees, returned to Morgan, and shifted back.

“Show off,” she said sullenly, but her eyes were playful. Teasing.

My chest felt like it might cave in. Every time she threw out a bit of this side of her, I had an overwhelming desire to throw her to the ground and claim her as mine.

“I dare you to try it,” I said, lifting my brows.

“Is that so?” She pulled her shirt over her head in a single, fluid movement and I nearly groaned out loud.

Her breasts were perfect. Her stomach was soft and feminine, an invitation leading to her curving hips. As she worked the button of her jeans, I held my breath, trying not to focus on the fact that I was about to see a fucking goddess in the flesh.

She tossed her jeans aside, then she stepped out of her panties and went for her bra. My lips parted and my heart raced. It was as if she was crafted from my dreams.

“Well, at least I know you enjoy the way I look naked too.” Her eyes darted low, then back up, and she smirked.

Fuck.“Not fair. I can’t hide that.” My cock was standing at attention.

She laughed. “Apparently, neither can I.” She had a point. Her appreciation of my body was written on her face every time she stole a glance.

My inner wolf rose up, begging me to claim the beauty standing in front of us.Mine, mine, mine.He wanted to devour her, worship her, kiss every inch of her bare skin.

I cleared my throat and grabbed my jeans off the ground, tugging them on. “We’re wasting sunlight. You should get going on the exercise.”

Her face fell and my heart felt like it had shattered into a million pieces. I was using her as bait, I couldn’t take things any further between us.

She turned from me, her red hair whipping through the air, catching the sunlight like spun fire. I was such an asshole.

As she worked through the exercise, shifting back and forth, running for a while and shifting back, I tried to tell myself that I was doing the right thing by limiting this to a flirtation. But every part of my being was resisting. I was going to need a very cold shower tonight.

“Good work, we should head back. Sun’s setting,” I called.

Morgan shifted into a wolf again and bounded back toward me before turning into a human next to her discarded clothing. She rose from her shift like a queen, owning her confidence.

“That was the smoothest shift I’ve seen from you,” I commented.

“I had a decent teacher. Even if he’s an idiot,” she said.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” I asked.

She removed her hands from her hips and gestured to her breasts and pussy. This time, I couldn’t contain the groan, it came out without warning.

“We’ve spent the last week flirting,” she said. “Then when I finally get proof that you like me as much as I like you, you shut me down. If you’re trying to do some kind of macho power play, it backfired. Because I’m no longer interested –”

My mouth silenced her, cutting her off mid-sentence. I was so going to regret this when she learned what I was really up to, but I couldn’t stop myself. I needed her.

She matched my intensity, our lips working in tandem, a tangle of tongue and teeth, a battle for control. Her lips were fire, and I was oxygen, one couldn’t exist without the other. My need to claim her intensified, growing with each swipe of her tongue, with each scrape of her teeth. I was molten, completely at her every command. She could have asked me anything and I would have killed to give it to her.

My hands moved from her face, one tangling into her hair, the other sliding down her back. I felt her tremble under my touch and my cock ached in the confines of my jeans. There was a tiny part of me that wanted to resist this, to make it stop, but it was drowned out by the hunger to take everything she had. To give her everything I was.

Mine. Mine. Mine.

The words beat in the time of my heart with an intensity that was impossible to ignore. Morgan wasmine.She made me crazy, but I couldn’t deny the pull I’d felt to her since I first set eyes on her. She was everything I needed even if I didn’t deserve her.

We moved together, her arms wrapped around me, her hands kneading and searching and claiming my back, my chest, my neck. She was grasping for any piece of me she could and I understood the fervor, the need, the desire to touch every inch. To memorize every part of the way she felt.

My hands explored lower, grabbing her ass, feeling her hips, tracing up that soft perfect stomach. She grabbed my hand and guided it between us, between her legs. I groaned into her mouth as soon as I cupped her mound. She ground into me, silently urging me to continue my exploration.
