“She went in there to make peace with you,” another male ground out.
Madisyn snorted. “She wanted to know what I’d do if she wouldn’t stay away from Bracken. Now she knows. And if any of you can deny that someone who tries coming between mates had that coming, I’ll call bullshit.”
The males didn’t say anything. What could they say? Madisyn had only been defending her mating, and she’d had every right to do so.
“Here’s what you’re going to do,” Bracken said to the wolves. “You’re going to leave. You, Claudia, the rest of your team—you’re all gonna leave right now. And you will not return to this club ever again.”
Bristling, the male in the center shook his head. “Claudia’s father won’t like hearing that. It’s really not a good idea to have her barred from here.”
“It wouldn’t be a good idea for her to get within two feet of my mate ever again in her life,” said Bracken. “So if you’re really interested in Claudia’s safety, you’ll get her out of here, and you’ll keep her away.” He stepped aside, allowing the males to pass.
Casting odd looks at Madisyn, they scooped up a bleeding, coffee-covered Claudia and removed her from the room.
Bracken guided his mate over to the sink, wet a paper towel, and dabbed the blood spatter from her face and neck. “I can’t leave you alone for five minutes, can I?”
“You mad at me?” she asked.
“Mad?” He grabbed her hand and put it over his cock, letting her feel how hard he was. His wolf was just as turned on by the strength and mercilessness she’d shown just now.
Her brows lifted. “I see.”
“Besides, how can I be mad when our scents have mixed?”
She frowned, nostrils flaring. “Shit, they have.” And it made feminine satisfaction flutter through her. “I don’t get why.”
He tucked her hair behind her ear. “I do. After the barbecue, you swore that the next time someone attacked what we had, you’d defend it. And that was exactly what you did.” He kissed her. “Whatever Claudia said to you, you didn’t let her fill your head with doubts, didn’t start to doubt me all over again. That strengthened the bond.” And now she smelled of him, just as he did of her. Everyone would know the moment they picked up her scent that she was mated, that she was his. And that made the cock in her hand throb. “You’d better take care of this when we get back to my lodge.”
Her smile was all sin. “I think I can do that.”
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
Driving across the border of pack territory a little while later, Bracken tangled his hand in his mate’s hair as she licked and sucked his cock, humming and moaning. She was fucking lethal with that mouth. Took him deep. Kept the suction tight. Drove him insane with her tongue by dancing it around his length, tracing the thick vein, and flicking the spot beneath the crown.
He hissed out a breath as her throat contracted around his cock. Every time she did that, every time she swallowed just a little more of his dick, he felt his balls tighten. With the scent of her need filling the SUV, pouring into his lungs, and stroking over his senses, he was too fucking close to coming.
The delicious scent was making his wolf just as crazed. The beast, still worked up after seeing her overpower the other female, urged Bracken to take her. Bite her. Brand her again. Remind her that she belonged to them.
Instead of parking in the lot, Bracken drove all the way to his lodge. The moment he parked, he bit out, “Stop.” She purred around his cock instead and, fuck, he almost exploded in the hot cavern of her mouth. He swore, tightened his grip on her hair, and yanked up her head. Eyes glossy with need, she stared up at him, cheeks flushed, lips swollen. The sight made his cock throb. “I told you to stop. Now strip off the top and bra.”
As she hastily removed them, he whipped off his shirt and used the lever to pull back his seat, giving her plenty of room. “Come here. Straddle me, but stay on your knees.” He drank in the sight of her round, perky breasts and hard, rosy nipples as she planted a knee on either side of his thighs. Sweeping his hand down her sleek back, he palmed her ass. “That’s my good girl.”
Madisyn gasped as his tongue lashed her nipple. He’d been teasing her all freaking day one way or another, and she was wound tighter than a rubber band. Every nerve ending was hypersensitive. Every sense was homed in on him. And all she wanted—no, needed—was a good, hard fuck. No preamble, no foreplay, no more teasing. Just fucking.
“Bracken,” she rasped, sifting her fingers through his hair as he licked his way over to her neglected breast. He drew an aching taut bud into his mouth, and she felt each hard, rhythmic suck right in her throbbing clit. “Fuck me.”
