“You won’t lose me.” She moaned and licked his neck while he continued to fuck her roughly. “I’m yours.”
The taste of him on her tongue was divine. He tasted of salt, man, and sex. Her breathing turned choppy. Tension gathered inside her at breakneck speed. He pounded her with his cock, adding kindling to her fire. His lips grazed her throat and licked. She bit down on his shoulder. He did the same. The world spun on its axis and pleasure blasted through her veins.
She held on as his cock grew inside her and filled her with his cum. His rumble on her flesh made her body shudder.
Her legs shook as her feet touched the ground. Possession filled his gaze. “I love you.”
She swallowed against the thickness in her throat. “I love you too.”
He brought his face closer to hers again, brushing his lips over hers in a soft kiss. “I won’t let anyone hurt you. Ever again.”
His vow, made with so much assurance, made her stomach twist. He was all she’d ever need. She knew that now. “I know.”

“Why is it that you always have to mess up a good thing?” Emma hissed.
Mason grinned unabashedly. “I’m just pointing out that you like getting your friends in trouble. Poor girls have gotten almost arrested or in some kind of trouble more than once thanks to you.”
Emma glared at Mason.
Jordan wouldn’t interfere. She realized the scent Emma carried around was Mason. That meant she needed to mind her own damn business and let those two work their own stuff out.
“Seriously? Women should be at home raising kids? That’s the best you can come up with!” Nicole appeared ready to throttle Jake.
He in turn smiled in delight. “Mates are meant to be home taking care of the cubs.”
Jordan got ready to warn Jake to watch his tongue but she sniffed. Sure enough, Nicole also scented of Jake.
What the hell was going on?
She continued toward the kitchen of the Wolfe’s house. She heard Karla and Nathan.
“No.”
“You know you want to,” Nathan taunted.
“Are you insane? What in the world makes you think I’ll get a tattoo with your name on it?” Karla hissed.
And there went that couple, Jordan thought as she passed them by on her way to the kitchen. The scent once again letting her know that no matter what her friends said, there was a deeper connection between them and Aric’s brothers.
She reached the backyard and inhaled. The strong and pure scent of nature took time to get used to. It was weird to smell so much grass.
She brought the dessert tray outside to place it on the picnic table where Barbara and Tristan were arranging the barbeque. About to go around the side of the house to the table, she stopped at the sound of the words being exchanged.
“Quit complaining, Wolfe. Things worked out,” Barbara said.
“You need to stop meddling in our sons’ lives.” Tristan admonished his wife.
Jordan peeked around the side of the house and watched the couple embrace.
“You make it sound like I did something wrong.” Barbara curled her arms around her husband’s neck.
“Never, love, but you know they’re grown and can get their mates on their own.”
Aric slipped his arms around Jordan’s waist and rubbed his cock on her ass. She wanted to drop the cookies and turn around, but she was much more interested in the conversation between his parents.
“They could get their mates if they weren’t so slow. Where do they get that from? Neither of us have ever been that way.”
“That’s true. I had you in my bed the first night I saw you.”
Barbara scoffed. “I think you mean I had you in my bed.”
Tristan chuckled. “Who cares? The outcome was what we both wanted.”
She smiled. “But back to Aric. All I did was help him out a little.”
“There was no need to invite those women. The only woman he wanted was right here.”
“It made him move, didn’t it?”
Aric’s arms tensed around her waist. He took the cookie tray from her hands and they continued to the table his parents stood chatting.
“Mom? Dad? What exactly did you do to help me out?” Aric asked as he placed the tray on the table.
Jordan watched Barbara smile and wink at her. “I only invited those women for you to choose from.”
Aric frowned. “But you just said you knew I wouldn’t want them, that I only wanted Jordan. So did you invite those women for me to choose one of them, or to push me into mating Jordan?”
His mother’s gave a slick smile. “Who cares? The outcome is what you wanted.”
Tristan laughed. Barbara pulled her husband along and made her way to the back entrance of the house.
Jordan grinned at how happy his parents still were even after over thirty years of marriage.
“Let’s go.” Aric’s eyes glowed the bright grey of his wolf.
“Where?”
“Run with me, baby.”
“Now?” She squealed, glancing at the house. “Are you sure we’re safe to be out there?”
“Yes. Those wolves that killed that girl were rogues, not part of any pack. They’re lawless and dangerous. My father put one of his enforcers to handle the case with the sheriff. She was human. It doesn’t stop here.”
She frowned. “Will the shifters get into trouble for that?”
“Not our pack. We protect humans. We have people in the department. They’ll smooth things over.” His lips tilted into a sexy grin. “Come on, I’ll protect you.”
“I know you will, but what if there are other people out there.” She motioned to the woods, still concerned that other rogues would be in the vicinity.
“This is private property. Our property. The only people in the area are part of our pack, and they don’t trespass.” He tugged her toward the trees.
She glanced around the forest, looking for people. “What about Caleb and his uncle? What happens with that?” She let him lead her further.
“That’s not over yet. Caleb has been given some time to deal with his uncle Rocco and take the control of his pack back. He needs to move. Rocco is known to hire rogues for his dirty deeds. Caleb has to take over.”
“And if he doesn’t?” She worried for Ellie. Now that she was happy, she wanted all her friends happy too.
He led her into the thick of the forest, where the sun had to fight to peek in through the branches. “We’ll step in. We don’t want to, which is why we’ve given him time.”
She gnawed at her lip. Her heart constricted for Ellie. Jordan knew things with Caleb’s pack were far from over.
He stopped short, turned, and cupped her face. “I want you.”
That’s all she needed to hear. All thoughts of the danger and negativity rushed out of her mind. She’d always want him and she was glad that he felt the same need for her. Fur pushed at her skin and she knew her own wolf wanted free.
