Gods be damned!

The bond between us surged, hot and hungry, pushing out any other thoughts from my mind.

He wasn't Frexin's soldier in this place.

No. He was just a sexy fantasy my mind was gifting me … a dream meant for me to enjoy. Something better than that storm outside, and FAR better than reality.

And gods … it had been a LONG time since I'd had a dream like that.

I moved closer, gaze greedily tracing the tattoos twisting along his thickly muscled arms, shoulders, and chest.

If my mind and body wanted this … who was I to deny it?

Tye was breathing heavily, jaw tight, those beautiful golden eyes narrowed as he stared down at me.

A whisper of cool air across my breasts made me look down.

What the — where did my clothes go?

I looked up to see Tye's lips curled in a triumphant grin, his chest rumbling as his heated gaze caressed my naked body.

"Kings alive, Witch … are you trying to drive me mad?"

Fuck! My core throbbed and my nipples pebbled.

The bond and charisma thrummed in response — a desperate, needy ball of lust pulling us closer — demanding we give in to our fate.

"Look," I said, voice breathy. "I don't know how long this dream will last, so I'm going to need you to hurry and fuck me. Got it?" With a snap of my fingers, his clothes vanished—thank the gods for dreams!"Less talking, more fucking, wolf-man."

Tye's eyes flared, and his bodytensed. In the distance, a wolf howled, loud and pleading. And that cock — it jutted towards me, wetness dripping from the tip … begging to satisfy my every desire.

His eyes darkened, a growl rumbling in his chest. "MINE!" he snarled as muscular arms caged me, warm lips brushing my neck.

My breath caught, and the bond pulsed triumphantly as a heady sense of power overtook me.

I lifted my gaze to meet his, then cocked my brow. "Well then, you'd better prove it."

With a growl, he gripped my hips and spun me around, pressing me roughly against the stone wall. The cool rock sent a shiver down my spine, and I arched my back, needing to feel his body pressed against me.

He leaned closer, voice breathy. "I'm going to fuck you so hard you can't walk in the morning, Witch."

I met his gaze over my shoulder. "Promises, promises."

His lips slammed into mine, velvety soft despite the intensity, his tongue delving to meet my own, fighting as I spun back around, pushing againsthim.

This! The back and forth. The pushing and pulling. That dancing fire I'd tasted with that first kiss …

Gods. I needed more.So much more.

Our hands explored each other, frantic. His muscled arms, the wide planes of his back … the hard curves of his ass. Fuck — he was all muscle!

His lips fell to my neck, and I arched into his mouth, desperate —
