His groan made her smile, filling her with warmth. Even so, a girl had to give some warning. Her hands were trapped, but she could kick back. She nailed him in the knee and let out a small chuckle of triumph.
He snarled an expletive and kicked her ankles apart, forcing her legs wide. Her clit rubbed against her zipper, and she moaned. The steel hard line of his erection pressed against her butt, and she let her forehead rest on the cool wall, her nipples hardening into diamond points. “No kicking, little female,” he said, flicking a deadly fang against her earlobe.
Oh yeah? This all felt pretty damn good. She tried to kick him again, but he held her in place. Her moan was more need than frustration, but it was close.
He bit her lobe, spiraling electricity through her body. “I’m not a male you want to challenge.”
“Yes, you are,” she breathed out, her body craving him in a way that had to be unhealthy. She wanted all of him. Nothing held back, nothing hidden. She’d push him to lose control, to share all of him, even if it was more than she could handle. “I’m not hiding from life any longer,” she said, her voice breathier than she’d ever heard it.
“Good.” He reached around her and cupped both breasts, his touch firm and powerful. “Understand that I handle all danger, and you stay out of the way. It’s a simple request, but I’ll make it a mandate if you wish. Don’t push me, Abby.” He tweaked both nipples, the bite of pain so delicious she nearly dropped to her knees. Only his muscled body held her in place.
Words. She needed to say something. To show him she couldn’t be so easily overtaken. “Noah, I think—” Then she lost all sense of the moment.
“Stop thinking,” he ordered, his nimble fingers sliding down between her legs and beneath her plain cotton panties. He zeroed in with ruthless aim to her clit, rubbing against it with a friction that propelled her back onto her toes. So much and so good. “See how well your body obeys? Watch this.” He twisted a finger inside her, brushing her clit hard with his thumb. “Come. Now.”
Her body obeyed instantly, flashing her into an orgasm that flared out from his fingers and shook her head to toe. The waves took her, sending sparks behind her eyelids. She came down with a muffled sigh. That had happened so quickly and just because he’d commanded it? How was that possible? Need rippled through her again, and she wanted more. Wanting everything.
He ripped her shirt over her head, and a second later, her jeans were down to her ankles. Even beyond turned on, she couldn’t help but laugh as she stepped free of them. He made her laugh and gave her incredible orgasms. It was almost too good to be true.
He flipped her around, shoved his jeans down, and picked her up. One hard push, and he impaled her against the wall.
She cried out, pain and pleasure mixing into another orgasm that left her breathless. She flattened both hands against his muscled chest, marveling that the bullet holes were gone. So much power and strength, and it was all hers. Just hers.
Then he started pounding inside her, his hands rough on her bare butt. She looked up, committing his image to her memory forever. Greenish eyes rimmed with black this time, fierce angles in his face, hard jawline. Full lips, possession in every line of his body.
She could feel it.
He tilted her pelvis, changing his angle and hitting her clit. Pleasure spread out through her extremities, tingling along the way. She bit her lip, pressing her head back against the smooth wall.
Jagged sensations ripped through her, hard and fast and fierce. She fought against a third orgasm, trying to keep control, wanting to triumph.
He chuckled, the sound a low warning. “Baby. You’re gonna learn.” His hands tightened on her ass, fingers spreading over the marking that still heated her left hip. Fire spread out from the brand, shooting straight to her clit.
She moaned.
“You’re gonna come now—because I want you to. Now, Abby,” he ordered. He tilted again, hit a spot inside her that belonged only to him, and she exploded into a trillion pieces, spinning away from earth and reality and anything else that wasn’t centered directly on Noah Siosal.
CHAPTER 14
Noah kept his mate’s gaze as he zipped up her jeans, his heart full of her. “You okay?”
She blushed and nodded. “You?”
“Yeah. Better than okay.” There were probably soft words, kind words, he should use right now. But he didn’t know any. “I’m possessive and protective and kind of abrupt.”
Her eyebrows arched, and those pretty hazel eyes sparkled. “Yes. I’m aware of that.”
He swallowed, brushing her soft hair off her shoulder. “I belong to you. Completely and in a way I’m not sure you feel yet.” It was the most he could give anybody in this world. All of him. “Mates have a connection, and someday we’ll be able to share thoughts if we wish. When you hurt, I hurt. When you rage, I rage. And when you get frightened, I worry. When you’re in danger—”
