T wo firefighters arrived a few moments later in full gear, including oxygen masks. They were hauling a bodyboard. I cradled my arm, which was hurting worse by the moment. Rick had torn the skin deeper than I’d thought at first, and as the adrenaline faded, the agony increased.
Alec waved to the firefighters, and they lifted a hand in greeting. The lead one pulled their mask down, revealing themselves to be a woman. The other did the same. He was a middle-aged man with a deep tan and what looked like a perpetual frown.
“Alec?” the woman said, hurrying forward and scowling in confusion. ”Are you going to tell us exactly what’s going on here?”
“We’re here saving these two,” Alec said, gesturing toward Cameron and me. “That’s what’s going on. Let’s do it.”
The man headed straight to me, whistling when he saw my injury. “Damn, son. What the hell got a hold of you?”
“That,” I said, nodding at Rick.
“Here, let me get something on that before we move.”
He tore a Velcro panel open on the leg of his pants, revealing a simple first aid kit. He rolled gauze around my wound, though it was soaked within seconds. At least it stopped the blood from flowing down my arm and dripping on the floor.
My brows furrowed as he worked. I didn’t sense any of the old disgust and distrust most shifters usually directed at me. He would have scented I was a lone wolf, yet he was treating me like a member of his pack. Helping me without hesitation.
“Unroll this,” the woman said, tossing a thick black bag to Alec.
It was a body bag, thick, heavy-gauge plastic with a full-length zipper running from top to bottom. As Alec unraveled it, she went over and placed the bodyboard beside Rick.
“What are we doing?” I asked, watching her work.
The guy wrapping my arm glanced over. “Alec told us we had to extract a body.” He grunted a laugh. “Didn’t tell us it would be a sleeping wolf, though.”
When he was done with my arm, he helped his partner roll Rick’s slumbering body into the bag and onto the board. Once he was secured, they nodded to Alec.
“All right, folks,” he said. “Time to evac.”
“How?” Cameron asked. “Won’t there be people everywhere? Cops and emergency personnel?”
“We’ve got a beat cop at the delivery door,” the woman said.
“JC and Ollie have him stationed there, keeping everyone away. That’s our one shot to get out unseen.
We’ll take the freight elevator at the rear of the building, but we need to hurry.
We were first on the scene with our crew, but every second we wait, the larger the crowd will get. ”
“Let’s go, then,” I said.
It went smoother than I thought it would.
Rick’s body bounced on the board, and it was hard for me not to think of him dead inside the bag rather than simply unconscious.
I’d wanted to end him, but had stopped at the last second.
Cameron was right. He needed to answer for what he’d done instead of getting the easy way out.
That didn’t mean I couldn’t fantasize about being a less compassionate person.
Beyond the rear exit, the cop waited, rushing us out of the building and into a waiting van.
“Jesus,” the cop muttered, looking down as Rick was extracted from the body bag. “You really beat his ass, didn’t you, buddy?”
He was looking at me, but I pointed to Cameron. “ We did. I couldn’t have done it without her.”
“No shit?” The cop shifter gave Cameron an appreciative smile. “You’re a badass, lady.”
Cameron flushed as we climbed into the van, but I couldn’t help but smile. She was a badass. I held her close to my side, not wanting to lose her again.
Alec hopped into the passenger seat, and the cop drove us away from the building. Glancing out the windows, I watched the blue, red, and white strobing lights of emergency vehicles. Dozens of people stood huddled on the sidewalk, staring up at the building.
The way JC had managed the extraction was impressive. In my past dealings with the Toronto pack, I’d realized how integrated the pack was in human society, but I hadn’t thought they were this efficient and capable. It was eye-opening.
“We’re going to another of our safe houses,” Alec said, glancing back at us. “JC has a nurse there to patch you all up. There’ll be some folks there to take our friend Mr. Masters into custody, too.”
“Great,” Cameron said absently.
She ran her hand across my chest, pressing her face into my shoulder.
I heard her taking deep breaths, pulling my scent into her lungs.
I ran my good hand over her back and shoulders.
Now that we’d finally expressed our emotions for each other, we were both hungry for a physical connection, something even more substantial than words to seal our bond.
My cock stirred to life, but I quickly tamped down my desire. That would have to wait.
The van pulled up outside the safe house.
JC wasn’t there. I’d have preferred to tell him what happened in person, but I understood.
If I had to guess, once word spread that Rick had attacked Cameron again— with audio-recording proof—chaos would erupt.
Most likely, it would be political chaos rather than physical.
From what JC had said, Lincoln Masters had forged his alliances with money and power, not with emotion and respect.
Anyone who might have been leaning toward backing him in whatever coup he’d tried to orchestrate would most likely turn their backs on him.
JC was probably dealing with a metric ton of bullshit at the moment.
“Come on,” Alec said, opening the side door of the van. “Let’s get that arm looked at.”
While we headed inside, a few other guys secured Rick with zip ties and wrapped him in burlap strips. Even if he woke and shifted back to his human form, he wouldn’t be able to get away.
“How are you feeling?” Cameron asked as we stepped through the front door.
“Fine,” I said, trying not to wince. “It’s healing already, but the bite was deep. I think he twisted his head, so the skin and muscle tore. It will probably take a couple days to heal completely.”
“What kind of bullshit have you brought me, Alec?”
Turning, I found a beefy woman standing in the hallway, hands jammed on her hips, staring at my arm. She looked like a combination powerlifter, nurse, and professional wrestler.
“Calm down, Sandy,” Alec said. “We just need a wound stitched up.”
She sighed as if we’d ruined her entire day, then waved at the couch. “Fine. Sit his ass down over there,” she said, and vanished down the hall.
Sitting on the sofa, I eyed Alec warily. “She’s pleasant,” I whispered, keeping my voice low enough so she couldn’t hear the sarcasm.
“To say the least,” Cameron agreed.
Alec grunted a short laugh. “Sandy is one of a kind. We have her on call for stuff like this. She was a combat medic in the army. She’s patched me up a few times. The lady knows her shit, and she could probably kick all three of our asses if she wanted to.”
Alec was right about that. When Sandy returned, she had my arm unwrapped, cleaned, sewn, and rebandaged in record time. Her fingers moved with a swift dexterity that shocked me. When she caught me staring at her finished work in open-mouthed surprise, she grinned at me.
“Hope you like it,” she said, then held a warning finger up to my face. “Don’t fuck up my work.”
“Yes, ma’am,” I said.
An hour later, Alec dropped us off at Cameron’s apartment.
“I’m still leaving a couple guys here to watch you,” he said as I helped Cameron climb out of the van.
“I’ve got to go help find Sam.” He shook his head sadly, then glanced at Cameron.
“If what Rick said is true, he’s probably dead, but we need to try and find his body.
As morbid as it is, that will be more evidence for what Rick and his father did. ”
“Do you need help?” I asked.
Alec grinned ruefully, then pointed at the apartment. “Get your ass inside and rest. We’ve got this handled. Someone will notify you with the new time for the hearing.”
“Come on,” Cameron said, tugging at my shirt.
I waved at Alec as he pulled away, then followed her inside.
We raced up the stairs to her apartment.
Her mother was still at work, and her little brother would be at school.
We had the place to ourselves. She barely managed to get the door locked before I dragged her into an embrace and kissed her.
Her mouth opened, allowing my tongue access. With each second that passed, she melted further into me. In that moment, I could have done anything I wanted to her and she would have allowed it, would have enjoyed it. But instead of anything physical, I pulled away, gazing down into her eyes.
“You know I meant it, don’t you? I love you, Cameron.”
She smiled and brushed her hand over my cheek up to my hair. “I love you, too. I know you meant it.” She ran her tongue across her lower lip and grinned. “Come with me.”
She took my hand and led me to her bedroom. Excitement and anticipation rippled through me as she sat me down on the soft armchair in the corner opposite the bed.
“What are we doing?” I asked.
She turned and gazed at me for a long moment before kneeling between my legs and reaching for my belt.
“You saved me. If you hadn’t shown up, I don’t know what might have happened. I want to thank you.”
“You don’t have to thank me?—”
Cameron put her finger to my lips. “Shut up, Nate. I’m going to enjoy this as much as you do.”
Doing as I was told, I shut my mouth, watching as she undid my belt and unbuckled my pants.
The sound of the zipper going down sent a burst of butterflies through my stomach.
It felt like I was a teenager again, heart pounding, sweat beading on my forehead.
But this would be so much better than my first. Because it was Cameron.
She tugged my pants halfway down my thighs, then slid her fingers under the waistband of my boxers, all the while giving me that sexy grin.
“I want to make you feel good,” she whispered. “Let me make you come.”
“Oh, God,” I whispered, nodding.
Smiling wider, she peeled my underwear down.
My throbbing cock sprang free, rigid and quivering.
Cameron licked her lips as she wrapped her hand around the base.
The coolness of her fingers drew an excited gasp from me that morphed into a moan as she slowly began stroking up and down my shaft.
With her free hand, she reached down and cupped my balls, caressing them with her thumb.
The double sensation of her hands in two places at once made me thrust my hips in time with her movements.
“Do you like that?” Cameron whispered. Her low, sultry voice drove me insane.
“Yeah,” I groaned. “It’s good.”
A glistening bead of precum oozed from the tip of my cock. Cameron slid her thumb over it, using the fluid as lube to slip and slide around the head. All I could do was groan in pleasure as I watched her. She ran her thumb all over the head of my dick, sliding against my skin.
I couldn’t take much more. I needed her mouth on me.
“Suck it,” I begged. “ Please, baby.”
Without another word, she leaned forward and kissed the tip of my cock before flicking her tongue out. My hips jerked, my thighs shaking in anticipation.
“You want me to suck you off?” Cameron asked, kissing my cock again.
“Uh-huh. I want to feel your mouth on me.” I bit my lip, forcing myself to stay calm.
She continued stroking me, licking the head every few seconds. “How fast do you think I can make you come like this? When I slide my lips over this big, thick cock, how long will you last?”
“Oh, holy fuck,” I moaned, throwing my head back and laughing despite myself. “Cam, you’re killing me. I need?—”
She took my entire length into her mouth, the tip of my cock hitting the back of her throat. I cursed under my breath. The hot slickness of her mouth almost made my eyes cross. She worked me into a frenzy, and the sudden penetration of her mouth almost short-circuited my mind.
I dug my fingers into the fabric of the chair, watching her work in rapturous delight. Her cheeks hollowed out as she sucked me, and she hummed in pleasure.
“Fuck. Shit. Ah, Jesus,” I muttered, unable to stop myself from thrusting my hips up, driving my cock deeper into her mouth.
Sensing my urgency, Cameron moved faster, alternating between sucking and licking my shaft. The first delicious tingles of climax spasmed near the base of my cock, deep in my balls.
Cameron pulled her mouth away, lips wet, and looked at me, still stroking my glistening dick.
“I want you to come,” she said. “I want to taste you.”
She wrapped her lips around me again, her mouth so hot and eager. It looked like she was worshipping my cock. That thought sent me over the edge.
“I’m gonna come,” I groaned.
In answer, she suckled at the head of my dick, squeezing my shaft gently.
When the orgasm hit, it was earth-shattering.
My wolf howled so loud, it nearly shattered my mind.
Bright spots of light shot across my vision, and I arched my back as thunderous pulses of ecstasy surged through my pelvis, my cock spurting cum into her mouth.
All the while, she kept stroking and sucking me.
I wanted to shout that I loved her, that she gave me more pleasure than anything I’d ever known, but all that came out was an inarticulate cry of rapture.
As my orgasm finally abated, I slumped back as Cameron slowed her movements and released me from her mouth. She swallowed and wiped her lips with her thumb.
“Was it good?” she asked, giving me a vain smile.
Laughing, I leaned down and kissed her deeply, tasting myself on her lips. Our tongues twined together, my hands roaming over her body. My wolf snarled in greedy hunger. Within moments, I dragged my clothes completely off and had her on the bed.
“This soon?” she asked with a giggle. “I figured you’d need a few minutes at least.”
I smiled down at her. “There are other things I can do until I’m ready again.”
Spreading her legs, I knelt on the bed and looked up at her.
“I hope you’re ready. This won’t be quick.”
