it hadn’t been an act, but she’d had no objection to his kisses or snuggling up to him late at night.

He gently restrained her hands and smiled down at her, knowing the two pack members watching could not see his expression with his back to them.

“Good girl.”

“I’m not a dog.”

His brows dipped down. “I did not know that I implied that you were.”

If she had an aversion to dogs, he was in deep shit.

“Most people refer to their dogs with a hearty “good girl” or “good boy”

when they do something worth praise. I’m not a damn pet.”

“I didn’t mean it like that,” he whispered next to her ear, and didn’t miss the way she quivered when his warm breath hit her cool skin.

She blew out an agitated breath. “I know. I’m just a little on edge.”

He nodded, and as she finished up with her bath, he cleaned himself quickly and tugged her from the lake. He picked up the one towel they had been given and handed it to her. He wrestled his jeans over his wet skin, and waited for her to dry and dress before leading her back toward the cave.

When they settled toward the back wall, he was pleased to see that they’d 26

been given a bit more food than the previous night, most likely a reward for heeding Damon’s commands.

They ate in silence while night fell, and he watched as the stars popped out and twinkled around a nearly full moon. “We are leaving tomorrow night.”

She stopped chewing and set her bowl down. “Thank God. Do you think we will make it?”

Her eyes sparkled with doubt, and he wanted to assure her they’d be okay, but he couldn’t guarantee anything. “I’ll protect you.” That wasn’t a lie.

He’d die protecting her.

“I’m scared.” Janine’s bottom lip quivered.

The need to comfort her beat through him. He reached for her and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her snug against him. “We’ll get through this. Somehow, we’ll get through this.”

She looked up at him with tears shining in her blue eyes, and did something completely unexpected. She stretched up and placed her lips against his. She was soft and smelled sweet and feminine. His instincts screamed to claim her, but she deserved better. Yet when the tip of her tongue touched his, he lost all reasonable thought as he was overtaken with blinding need. The pressure of his hardened cock built with every touch of her velvety tongue, and he rolled her under him where he could wedge his thighs between hers.

She moaned softly and he slid his hand under her shirt and pushed her bra out of the way so he could cup her breast. He let out a tortured growl at feeling her bared nipple for the first time. Her arms came around him and her fingers entwined behind his neck. He rocked his hips forward and she cried out. Her scent and softness drowned out everything else in the world.

The only thing that existed at the moment for him was her. The cave, Damon, the pack, everything else melted away.

She arched up and met his thrusts. He wanted her so bad. He had to have her. He undid her jeans and slid his palm under her panties down over the short curls covering her mound until his fingers slipped across her slick heat. He deepened the kiss and guided two fingers into her sheath. Her 27

hands frantically ran over the skin of his back and pushed under the waist of his jeans to cup his ass. Her fingernails bit into his flesh and spiked his already urgent need for her.

He pushed her jeans to her knees before unfastening his pants and groaned as some of the pressure was released from his cock as it sprang free.

She pulled him back to her mouth for another hungry kiss, and he thrust his hips into her again. The only barrier between him and what he sought was the flimsy fabric of her panties. Her breaths came in pants and she broke the kiss.

“Take me, Raze. Please.”

He hooked his fingers into the crotch of her underwear and yanked them to the side, exposing her hot heat. He braced himself on his palms and positioned his cock at her opening, but just as he started to surge forward, laughter rang out from outside the cave. The sound was as effective as a bucket of ice water being thrown on him. He rolled off Janine and lay beside her on his back, sucking in gulps of air.

“Fuck! I’m so sorry. I can’t believe I almost—”

Janine rolled on her side and faced him. “It wasn’t your fault. I wanted you to.”

He closed his eyes when she ran her fingers along the stubble on his jaw.

“Yes, it was. This is not the place I want to make love to you the first time.”

“You want to make love to me?”

He held his breath for a moment before letting it rush out in a whoosh.

“I thought that was pretty obvious.”

She flopped on her back. “Yeah. I guess it was.”

He sat up and leaned over her until his face was a mere inch from hers.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. I just feel a little confused I guess,” she whispered.

“Confused about what?”

“I don’t understand why I want you, Raze. I shouldn’t want you given the circumstances, but I do. I mean, I don’t know you all that well, actually, not really at all, and although I feel I can trust you, I’m hesitant to do so.”

He stroked his thumb back and forth over her bottom lip. “It will all be okay. What you feel is perfectly normal. I won’t lie. I want you like crazy, and all I can do is keep promising you that you can trust me. I’ve given you no reason not to, have I?” Except for just now, you dumb ass.

“No.” She shook her head
