I jerked against her, hot blood rushing away from my brain at an alarming rate. I’d never been so hard. “You’re killing me, woman .”
She locked her legs around my ass and pulled me harder against her. “I feel like I’m going crazy. I just want to feel you in me .”
I kissed down her jaw and brushed my teeth against her throat and neck, leaving a trail of goosebumps behind . “Wait .”
She writhed against me. “Don’t want to .”
I cupped her perfect tits in my hands and tweaked her light pink nipples before lowering my mouth and taking them in, one at a time. “You put me in charge, baby. You’re going to have to do what I say .”
She shivered under me and yanked harder on my hair. “Mistake. I’m taking charge. Fuck me now .”
God, I was going to shoot a load into my pants if she kept talking like that. Instead of listening to her, I kissed farther down. I dipped my tongue into her navel and then moved even lower. I buried my face into her lap and rubbed her through her skirt with my nose and chin. “I’m going to taste your pussy until you come for me first .”
The wrecked cry that fell from her lips had me clenching my whole body. I flipped her skirt up and then easily yanked the lace panties down her legs. I caught her ankles in my hands and stroked up her legs until I had the bottom of her thighs in my palms. Her skin was soft and supple, her curvy legs delicious looking as I lifted them and rested them on my shoulders .
Allie leaned back, her elbows on the bar, eyes burning me. Her soft hair was splayed across the bar, the ends falling off the other side. The picture of her spread out before me brought out an unexpected roar from deep within me. My bear was pleased .
Instead of reacting with judgment of any kind to my roar, Allie wiggled her hips under my face. Her wild and free scent was even stronger there and I couldn’t help but devour her. I buried my face in her and used my tongue to fuck her. Long strokes followed by focused flicks of my tongue on her clit, I worked to make sure my mate was pleased. When she shook under me, I moved my mouth lower and rocked it into her, I wanted to make her cry out in pleasure .
She made me feel like I’d hooked myself up to an electric current. Tasting her sweetness, feeling her luscious curves, hearing her soft moans, I was held back by barely a thread from standing up and slamming my dick home in her .
“Thorn!” Her voice broke and I glanced up to see the pure pleasure on her face .
I growled into her core and grinned when more wetness leaked out of her shivering body. I slid two fingers into her and caught her clit in my mouth as she bucked her hips .
Allie’s walls tightened around my fingers as she came undone under me. I kept my mouth on her until she went limp and still stayed where I was, licking her slowly and watching her shudder. Her body was mine. I rubbed my face against her thighs, marking her with my scent. Hers would be all over me and I couldn’t stop the possessiveness taking over. I wanted anyone close to her to know that she was mine .
I hooked my arms behind Allie’s back and easily pulled her up. Her eyes were still half-closed and a smile of satisfaction graced her face. “Beautiful.” The word just escaped my lips without thinking. But she was. The way she looked right now in my arms, she was easily the most beautiful sight I’d ever seen .
She hooked her arms around my neck and swayed a little. “What did you do? I think I just melted .”
I nudged her with my aching dick. “I’m not finished yet .”
Her lips parted to say something but a sound came from the front door of the bar and I looked up and watched as the door started to swing open. Allie squeaked and jumped down from the work station. I stepped back to make room for her and snatched her bra off the bar at the last second .
I normally wouldn’t give two shits about getting caught, but this felt different with Allie. I didn’t want anyone else to see her, but I also didn’t want people in the bar talking about her like she was some easy hook up. “Stay down. I’ll get rid of ‘em. Then, we’ll finish this .”
Curiously, she didn’t bother putting on her shirt or bra. She stayed kneeling in front of me, her eyes on mine as we waited for whoever was interrupting us to leave. It made me hotter than hell to know that she wasn’t done, either. The image of her on her knees in front of me was also going to top my spank bank from now on .
“You aren’t playing today, Thorn ?”
I jerked my eyes up to see George Vaughn coming in. Thank God, he was a human and wouldn’t be able to scent that Allie was behind the bar with me. “Not yet. I came in here to finish some stuff up before heading back out there. What can I do for you, George ?”
Allie’s hands moved to my ass and then pulled my shorts down before I could stop her. I let out a startled sound and leaned forward so George wouldn’t be able to see that I was naked. I felt the shocking heat of her lips on the head of my engorged cock and the breath seized in my lungs .
“I was hoping I could bother someone for a couple of shots of whiskey. Martha has me cutting back on the beer, so I can’t have any outside where she’s watching. You know how women are .”
Allie’s teeth lightly scraped me as she opened her mouth and took as much of me in as she could. Her hot mouth closed and then she pulled back with the most amazing suction I’d ever felt .
“She, uh, she lets you have whiskey?” I sounded like I was in pain, but hopefully George would let it go. I had to get rid of him so I could punish the little hellcat at my feet for the game she was playing .
“No, but what she doesn’t know won’t hurt her, right?” He laughed. “I didn’t see a problem with the beer. It’s not like I’m drinking all day long or anything …”
I lost track of what the older man was saying as Allie cupped my balls and surprised me by taking my full length down her throat. She sucked in long and hard strokes before licking just the head like it was her favorite lollipop. I was close to losing it. George had to get the hell out .

“G eorge!” I shook my head and winced. “Uh, sorry. Here, take the bottle .”
“Wow! You’re sure? The whole bottle ?”
I reached down and grabbed a fistful of Allie’s hair to pull her mouth off of me. I was seconds from coming. “Yep. See you later .”
“You okay, Thorn? You look a little flushed .”
Allie wrapped her fist around my dick and squeezed. I jerked forward, bumping her mouth and putting myself close enough that she could lick me again .
With a loud groan, I pulled harder on her hair to keep her away from me. “I’m fine. Bye, George .”
The old man gave me a look but turned away. I was a man possessed. If George turned back around, he was going to get an eyeful, because before the door even closed, I had Allie up and bent over the work station, with the tip of my dick pressing against her glistening folds .
Wet heat welcomed me like a glove and Allie arched her back and tried to work her hips back so I would slide in farther. She looked at me over her shoulder, her hair wild from my hands, eyes half-mast, and licked her lips. “I need you, Thorn .”
I grabbed both of her ass cheeks and squeezed, lifting her curvy body higher. Seeing her bent over like that was better than I’d imagined. Her ass curved perfectly under my hands. She was standing on her toes and wiggling, begging me with her body for what she needed. I needed it, too. I wanted to taste her once more, though. I wanted to hear her really beg me for it. I wanted to know that when it was over she couldn’t say that she hadn’t been desperate for me .
I knelt behind her and spread her open from behind, the way I’d wanted to from the first moment I saw her ass. She let out a startled cry as I pushed my face against her body and tasted her again, dragging my tongue in one long lick that elicited a gasp. Again and again I licked what was mine as her body quivered with pleasure .
It seemed like I’d barely started when she came again and then slapped her hands against the bar top. “Please! Thorn, I need to fee
l you in me. I’m begging you !”
That’s what I wanted to hear. I stood up and playfully slapped her ass. “I could eat you for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Allie. You taste like heaven .”
She moaned as I lined our bodies up. “ One time .”
I pushed into her tight body and squeezed her hips, feeling my control slip. There was no way it would just be one time. It was too good. One time would never be enough. Halfway in and I felt her pulse around me. She was so damn tight that it was almost too much. I was too close, too soon .
I ran my hands up her smooth back and then wrapped my hands in her hair. “Hold on , baby .”
She cried out my name as I thrust the rest of the way into her. Her body clenched around me and then she dropped her head and let it hit the bar. “Good lord. Fuck me, Thorn. Why is this so good ?”
I pulled her head back and lifted her waist so she was pinned against the station with her back against my chest. I cupped her perfect titties and licked from her shoulder to her ear. “This isn’t a one-time thing .”
She turned her head and found my lips with her own. The kiss was heated, a battle of control, but when I slowly pulled out of her and then thrust back in hard, her lips parted in an “o”. I kissed down her throat and then bit down on the skin at her shoulder, torturing her and myself. My bear roared, demanded I mark her, but I couldn’t. Not like this. Instead, I focused on where we were joined. I wanted her to feel me the next day .
I lost myself in her. I held her against my chest, thrusting in and out of her until I felt my body tightening. Allie rolled her hips against me and moaned loud enough to damn near alert the whole town as she got closer to another orgasm. She held my arms where they latched around her and dug her nails in my skin as my thrusting grew erratic .
“Oh, God, Thorn …”
I lowered my hand and circled her clit with the pad of my finger as I teetered on the edge. I wanted her to come with me .
Instantly, her body tightened and she tossed her head back. Her lips parted in a scream that I desperately wanted to hear and then the sweetest sound came from her mouth, the sound I’d needed to hear. My name on her lips, broken from pleasure, screamed loud enough for someone to hear all the way in Dallas .
She was mine .
I came harder than I’ve ever come in my life, pulsing jets of my seed filling her as I held her while we both gasped for air. It didn’t feel like it’d ever stop. Even when I could breathe evenly again, the pull to her, the pleasure, the awareness was overwhelming .
I let go of her hair and ran my hand down her back, enjoying the tremors that made her body clench. “More than one time .”
She looked back at me with the sexiest expression of complete satisfaction. “You don’t like boundaries, do you ?”
I laughed and stroked my hand over her ass. “Not even a little bit. Not with you, especially .”
“Too bad. It was still a one-time thing.” She reached back and gently pushed me away .
I slid out of her painfully slowly, dragging out another moan from both of us. I was amazingly still hard and could go again, if she wasn’t determined to keep me away. “How about we -”
“Oh, God!” Allie turned to face me, shock and horror frozen all over her face. “We didn’t use a condom .”
I looked down at my bare cock, still wet from our combined fluids, and winced. It hadn’t occurred to me. She was my mate. Somewhere in the middle of screwing her brains out, my mind had decided that it was okay because she was mine. Looking at it with a clear head, I could understand where she was coming from, why she was freaking out …
“ Oh , shit .”
She bent over and grabbed her shirt and bra, hastily pulling them on while moving away from me. “This is why I don’t do things like this. What the hell was I thinking? This was a mistake .”
Ouch. Mistake. Her words felt like a dagger to the heart. I jerked my pants up and moved to touch her, but she yanked away from me .
She whirled around and nailed me in the face with the shirt I’d given her earlier. “I’m going home. I can’t do this .”
“Home ?”
“To the trailer! Just leave me alone, Thorn.” Already halfway across the bar, she muttered to herself. “I’m such a fucking idiot .”
I watched her go and then slammed my fists down on the bar, cracking the wood straight down the middle from side to side. “Dammit !”

Allie
T he trailer was too small for the pacing I needed to do. I needed something closer to the size of a football field if I was going to really pace my restless energy out. As it was, I was just making tight circles between the bed and the kitchenette. Tight circles with my legs spread slightly too wide to be considered normal .
I was wickedly sore, every swipe of my jogging pants brushing against my panties reminded me of just what I’d done. My body was a traitorous whore. It didn’t care that my mind was in a bad way. It just wanted Thorn back inside of it .
I wasn’t so completely panicked that I didn’t understand. Thorn had managed to give me not only multiple orgasms for the first time ever, but the strongest, most earth-shattering orgasm of my life. I was wrecked. I thought I could do it. I thought I could sleep with him once to experience it and to get past the sexual tension between us, but it wasn’t that easy for me. I’d just ended up making an even bigger mess for myself .
I couldn’t stop thinking about how I’d never once felt as connected to Eric in the years that I’d been with him as I did to Thorn in the day that I’d known him. Eric had never given me multiple orgasms. Eric had barely given me orgasms at all .
It didn’t make sense. I shouldn’t have these kinds of feelings towards Thorn. I didn’t know him. I’d barely talked to him. Yet, there was something deep and all-consuming there. Just like with Burden and the bar. I should’ve been freaked out by the massive sense of déjà vu, but instead, it was comfortable. Well, not with Thorn, but the bar and town felt comfortable. Thorn was all danger, all the time. If I knew what was good for me, I’d stay away from him. That was, if I hadn’t managed to massively fuck up. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t used protection. It was obvious he slept around. A lot. A player, for God’s sake, Allie !
What if he had something? What if he’d given me an STD? I was a fool for making that mistake. I couldn’t even begin to let myself panic about the prospect of pregnancy. I just had to believe that pregnancy wasn’t even an option .
I’d been alone in the trailer for a few hours, pacing and driving myself bat-guano crazy, mostly because of Thorn, but also because Kayla had stopped by with her phone charger. She told me to keep it for the night and my phone was on the kitchen table, charged. The thing was like a monster, lying in wait, crouched to pounce and devour me alive. I was almost afraid to touch it .
It was stupid, but I didn’t want to face Eric. I had issues, and for some reason, he was one I had the hardest time dealing with. Eric was far from perfect, despite his belief that he was God’s gift to women. What I’d told Thorn was real. Eric had cheated on me in the beginning of our relationship and again several months ago. Probably a few times in between, if I were being honest with myself. Each time was a crushing blow. Yet, I’d stayed. Even though I was in pieces on the inside, I’d stayed. It was normal for me, I guess, given the example I’d had .
Before my parents passed, my father had been a habitual cheater and my mother, a habitual turn the other way-er. She’d always made it work. It’d seemed like they loved each other. They acted happy, at least. It wasn’t until I was older, and looked back at my parents through different eyes, I realized that Mom had spent nearly all her time locked in her room. She wasn’t happy. Somehow, even knowing that and knowing that allowing a man to cheat on you was wrong, I couldn’t seem to stop landing in the same situations .
Every one of my serious boyfriends cheated. Even though Eric cheated, I rationalized, he still treated me pretty well and wanted to give me the world. I suppose I
felt like I’d never find a guy who didn’t cheat, so why not just accept the one who also wanted to take care of me .
Yet, when it came down to it, I’d frozen. When facing the prospect of actually tying myself to Eric, to a man who cheated, I couldn’t commit. It’d felt like I was tying a brick to my ankle and jumping into the ocean. Panic had clawed its way up my chest until I thought I would choke to death, right there in front of him. Apparently, some part of me was salvageable and knew that I didn’t deserve that life, that I shouldn’t commit myself to my mother’s fate .
Instead of facing that truth, though, I ran. I grabbed whatever clothes I had at his house and jumped in my car and fled the scene. I didn’t quit my job, I didn’t tell him I was leaving the state until I was miles over the border. I didn’t even tell my friends goodbye. I just got out of there. I think a part of me thought that I was as weak as my mom, and that I’d fall into the same trap she did if I didn’t run. That’s why I was terrified to turn my phone on and see what was happening in Eric’s world .
I also had to face the fact that I’d allowed myself to cheat. I was ashamed of how much I’d enjoyed myself and how little I cared about Eric while doing it. Was that how it had been for him ?
A heavy knock sounded on the door and I jumped . “Yeah ?”
“It’s me, Allie.” Thorn’s deep as sin voice called through the door. “I came to check on you .”
I looked down at my stained jogging pants and worn T-shirt. I wasn’t dressed for company, that was for sure. I also wasn’t supposed to be worried about what he thought of my outfit. I took a step closer to the door and then backed away. I wasn’t sure what to do .
“I can hear your mind working from here. I just want to talk. Come out here and I’ll keep my hands to myself .”
“What do you want to talk about ?”
