Black Hills Desperado (Black Hills Wolves, #3)(11)

Marcus nodded. Another unique quality to his mate. Who’d have thought her a hybrid? Weres didn’t fall prey to human diseases, so he didn’t bother to take it a step further and ask her if she was clean. Holding his cock, he pumped it a couple times as if racking a shotgun and then rubbed the head against her juicy cunt. She growled again, nearly causing him to come all over her *. “From this point forward, no one else touches you. You belong to me.” His canines elongated and he buried himself inside Xio with a single thrust, pushing her up the wall. Marcus bit down on her shoulder, puncturing the tender flesh and marking her, holding on as he began to make good on his promise.

He lifted her to get a better angle of entry. Xio locked her thighs against his hips, bracing for what was to come. Her eyes glowed with feral heat; steam practically sizzled off her skin. The scent of her cream hung so thick in the air, he tasted it on his tongue. Releasing the bite, he focused on pounding into her.

So damned tight. Made for him. Mine. God, mine.

Xio bit him back, sinking fangs into his shoulder. Marcus jerked, startled, and a little bit surprised she’d mark him back. Females didn’t make a habit of it, but it showed him she was no wimp, and she’d accept nothing but an equal partner.

She could have that. It was all he’d ever craved, wanted. A mate who would challenge him and not cower or cater to him. Someone to stand beside him and never behind. Criminal or not, there was no other woman who fit the requirements better.

Marcus knew the second she came. Her * clenched him so hard, she pulled him over the edge with her, dragging out an orgasm to beat all from before. He slammed home and held her tight to his hips as cum exploded from his cock, pulsing into her core. She opened her eyes and stared into his, holding him in the moment, freezing time.

His Alpha had told him when he found his mate, everything would be more intense. From sex to emotion, the link amplified it all, making the mating more of an addiction than a bond. Something you didn’t walk away from, and not because you didn’t want to, but because it was physically impossible.

Now he understood why.

Mates would crave each other until they lay in their graves. It would be no different for him. Then, he’d probably haunt her. Marcus leaned in and buried his face in her neck, sinking into her scent, everything that made her Xio. It would be a while before they could break up the party. One of the downfalls—or in this case, benefits—of being part wolf. Boners didn’t go soft for a while. Most matings took days to complete, but they didn’t have days. They’d have to finish by dawn, whether they wanted to or not.

It would take every second of the night to dull the hunger down to controllable. Before the sun rose in the sky, Xio would have him wrapped so tight around her finger, he would move mountains to give her whatever she wanted. They would have something more than a mating. They would have an unbreakable bond, and woe to anyone that tried to get between them. Whatever lay ahead of them in the Black Hills, they’d face it together.

Xio slid her hands into his hair and lifted his head to pull his lips to hers, kissing him while she waited for his erection to ease and they could take the rest of the night to the bed. She freed her lips from his and smiled. “I forgot how good it was to be with a wolf.”

He growled. That wolf had not been him. God help the guy if he discovered who that other wolf was.

Xio closed her eyes and let the shower rain down on her head. The door clicked as it opened and the curtain slid back. “We don’t have time for more.” Her mind said they didn’t, but her body didn’t care.

“We’ll multitask.”

“Since you put it that way, get in.”

“When we get there, Drew is going to want to talk to you alone. That’s not happening. I’m your mate now and anywhere you go, I go.”

“Seriously, I can do this on my own.”

“I know, but you’re not. You don’t ever have to do anything like this alone again. I will always have your back.”

“You say the sexiest damn things.” Anything else, and she’d have been pissed. He had her back, and that meant she was her own wolf. Damn, could she have fallen in love already? Damn straight. She slid her arms over his shoulders and locked her hands at the back of his neck to pull his lips to hers. “But I rather like it when your mouth is otherwise occupied.”

A deep growl rumbled from Marcus’s throat and he pinned her to the shower wall.

“Shit,” Xio said as she hopped into her jeans, her skin resistant and still wet from the shower, making it difficult to yank them up. She wiggled and tugged as Marcus watched. “We’re going to be late. My Alpha isn’t going to be happy.”

“Our Alpha. You’re the one that suggested the blowjob, and I sure as hell wasn’t going to pass that up. I’d risk the enforcers if you wanted to do that again. Speaking of which, you keep wiggling like that, and you’re going to be on your back and even later.”

She stopped what she was doing and looked at him. He grinned. She smiled right back like a lovesick fool.

You are.

Am not.

He tossed her shirt to her, breaking up her inner dialogue. “As much as I’d like to have you on your back, it’s best we make a good impression. I have a lot of ponies under the hood of my car and can make up some time, but not that much. Let’s not piss off our new Alpha before the first meeting.”
