Enticing Their Mate (Pack Wars #6)(48)

With her back arched and her head pressed into the pillow, Sarah dug her nails into his skin then wrapped her legs tightly around his waist. “Riley, please, I’m so close.”

Riley could no more stop than he could welcome Statler into his life. Their lips connected and their hearts united as he thrust into her over and over again. Just as she screamed his name, her * tightened a clenching grip around his cock, causing a falter in Riley’s driving rhythm. Not able to keep focus from all the intense pleasure, he exploded into the most amazing release he had ever had in his life. He couldn’t distinguish between his heartbeat and hers because they’d both come at the same time.

Not wanting to put his full weight on her, Riley rolled over, taking her with him where she lay limp in his arms.

“Wow, that was incredible. I think you dissolved every bone in my body,” she said.

Riley looked into her sated eyes and smiled. “I don’t think I can move either.”

She patted his arm instead of lifting her head. A minute later, she emitted soft snores. If he hadn’t cared about messing the bed, he would have slept with his dick inside her.

The door opened and Jay entered. Riley placed a finger to his lips to indicate she was asleep.

“Did you rock her world?” Jay telepathed.

“I hope so. She sure as hell did mine.”

“Did you claim her?”

He’d thought about it—had wanted to in fact, but he wasn’t sure it was fair to Sarah. “Not yet.”

Jay’s lips firmed and he stomped into the bathroom. Well, hell.

Sarah awoke around four in the morning and found herself sandwiched between both men. Needing to clean up, she carefully slid off the end of the bed and headed into the bathroom. She hadn’t remembered Jay returning and wondered if he was okay with her making love with Riley and then falling asleep. As much as she wanted to wake him and kiss every inch of his body, she had to leave for work soon. The new clinic was almost an hour away and she needed to eat breakfast.

Today would be tense. Dr. Elkhart would be watching her every move since she wouldn’t have the freedom she had at the warehouse or even the old clinic. In a way, things would be better since she only had five women to care for.

The big question was how much should she reveal about the location of the other women to the remaining five. If she told them the truth, they’d ask too many questions, which might jeopardize any chance they had at being saved. It might be better to say the other five were being attended to in a different room.


Sarah sighed and glanced in the mirror. Bags had formed under her eyes and she’d lost weight from all the stress. If she could keep it together for another week, she’d be able to put this behind her.

Then what? Did she want to continue living like this, taking one job after another? Until she’d met Jay and Riley, she hadn’t realized how much she’d been missing. The sex had been wonderful and better than anything she could have imagined, but it was more than that. Never had she known two men who wanted to protect her and care for her like these men did. Her big debate was figuring out what drove them to want to be with her. Was it their animal instincts or their hearts?





Chapter Twenty





Sarah was seriously dragging, more so as the end of her shift neared. Every time she checked on the women, Dr. Elkhart’s narrowed-eyed glares eroded her ability to concentrate, taking away most of her energy. He’d often sneak up on her, acting as if she was plotting a way to free the remaining women. She might have considered helping them escape if they’d been strong enough to move quickly.

While the corridor that led to the outside required an eye scan, the hallway to the front office wasn’t locked—at least during her shift. To her surprise, he’d told her the code to the keypad to get into the hallway. Perhaps it was because he needed a few things from the front.

One time when he’d asked her to retrieve a folder from the receptionist, Sarah had noticed two men seated in the waiting room who looked like they might be guards. Most likely they belonged to Statler’s new team. Connolly had said many of the new hires would be around to make certain no one attempted to steal the women. She bet they were also there to stop anyone from leaving.

Close to six o’clock, she was more than ready to leave. Dr. Elkhart had left her alone with the women off and on throughout the day as he tended other patients, but not knowing when he’d barge in kept her muscles bunched tight.

The door to the room opened, and she jumped. Damn nerves. It was Amy and Russ and her stomach squeezed tight. For a moment, she contemplated finding something she could use as a weapon against him, but then realized the futility of that thought. She’d never be able to beat him in a fight.

Wanting to exude an air of self-confidence, Sarah walked across the room and picked up her purse. As if the three of them were best friends, she’d sidled up to Amy. “Nancy is on some strong antibiotics and seems to be doing better, but can you check her temperature in an hour?”

“No problem.” Amy’s response was less than enthusiastic, but now wasn’t the right time to call her on it.

Sarah wanted to ask what Russ was doing there, but perhaps Dr. Elkhart had told him that he’d be gone for the night and someone needed to ensure the women’s safety. “See you tomorrow,” she said with as much cheer as she could muster.
