The comprehension that came with that statement froze me for a few brief moments. I could never go back to the way my life had been. Worrying about an art internship when there were lives on the line seemed so miniscule now.

Wyn’s hand covered mine and I glanced up. His lips were pressed together in a tight line.

“Becca, I don’t think you really understand what that statement means. I’m pretty sure Gary, and your other mates' plan was to talk and come up with a way to hide you from the Venandi. Not to fight them.” He squeezed my hand gently.

I narrowed my eyes at him, the annoyance that filled me was also my animals. “I’m not some damsel in distress. I was before, there’s no doubt about that. I did die.” I stopped him when he opened his mouth. “We can’t change that. I wouldn’t want to anyway. I can help you and Gary. I know I can. So, I plan to. You’ll just have to get used to the idea.”

Wyn stared at me silently for several long moments before one chuckle slipped out. “Do the guys know that this is what you have planned? To join the underground movement against the Venandi?”

“Nope. I know they’ll help, though.” That’s just the kind of guys they were. I hoped. “Besides, what did you plan on doing? The Venandi wouldn’t let you just walk away to be with the pack, would they?”

His silence was an answer in itself. I looked at him in triumph.

“That’s what I thought.”

Wyn shook his head in amusement as a smile graced his face. “Stubborn.” He tipped my chin up with the side of his finger. “Beautiful.” He bent forward, only a breath away. “Mine.” The words barely left him when our lips met.

My animal surged forward in triumph. My hands wrapped around his back as his own moved to my hips, pulling me forward as he pressed us against the wall in two steps. My gasp was covered by his mouth as it felt like his tongue, lips, and teeth took control of my world.

I felt pressure between my thighs as he used one of his legs to spread mine. My hips moved on their own as I ground my pussy against his leg automatically.

A heated growl ripped from him as he pulled away briefly to look down at me.

“Are you sure, Becca? If we do this, I’m here permanently. I’m yours, but you’re mine too. I’ll kill anyone outside of the pack who dares lay a hand on you.” That voice. I was addicted. How it could sound so deadly and sexy all at once was really unfair.

In answer, and with a move that surprised me, I pulled off the large shirt that I’d been wearing like a short dress. I hadn’t gotten to the store yet, so I had no bra or underwear either. I ‘d begun thinking the guys were putting off a trip for clothes for that reason.

Wyn’s pupils widened as his nostrils flared. His hands cupped my breasts, flicking the nipples at the same time. They were already sensitive, so it didn’t take much to have me whimpering in need as he leaned forward. His lips latched onto my right nipple as his fingers twisted and pulled my left.

“Oh!” My exclamation was soft but full of need as his teeth tugged. I could feel how wet I was as I moved my hips more against his leg, my clit rubbing against the shorts that still covered my lower half. “Please, Wyn.”

His hands moved from my breasts as he released my nipple with a soft pop. His wicked glint had me almost cumming right there. He held my wrists above my head suddenly as he rubbed his jaw along my neck, pressing soft kisses on the tender skin.

“Please what, kitten?” His teeth scraped along my shoulder, on the opposite side where Seth had marked me. “Tell me what you want.” His tongue swiped out making my legs shake.

“You. I want you!” I tugged on my wrists but he didn’t loosen his hold.

“What do you want from me?” His voice sounded like rocks in a tumbler. “Do you want my cock? Do you want me to fuck you until you can’t think straight? Do you want my mouth on your clit with my fingers curled inside of you?”

Oh holy shit. Who knew dirty talk could be so hot? His teeth bit down on my collarbone, making me cry out.

“Tell me, kitten.” He bit the spot, harder this time, breaking skin.

The combination of his tongue and pull of his mouth on the spot had me cumming, clenching my thighs tightly around his leg. “I need your cock!”

He released my wrists with a dark chuckle as he picked me up behind my knees. I squeaked clutching his shoulders. His smirk made me want to devour his lips.

“As a reward for answering me, I’ll give you what you want.” Wyn placed me on the bed, pulling my shorts off in a quick flick of his hand. He looked over me as his eyes bled to black. “God. Your body is perfection.” He pushed his jeans down his hips and my mouth went dry. He ran a hand along his length with the right side of his mouth tipped in a grin.

“Last chance, kitten.” His face promised the fucking of a life time.

“Would you hurry up, already?” In an uncharacteristic move, I spread my legs and ran my middle finger over my clit. “I need your cock.”

Wyn was on me in a blink, his large body pressing into mine as our lips met in a clash. I felt his tip press against my walls. I hooked my feet around his hips as he gave a thrust.

A whimper slipped out as he pushed inside of me slowly. It took a moment for my body to adjust around him. He held himself above me on his elbows.

“Doing alright?” His lips pressed against where he’d bitten before.
