“You feel it, too,” he said, scenting her arousal. The heady aroma of strawberry and vanilla was back.
“I don’t want to feel this way. You hurt me. You took me and then hurt me.”
“I’ll never do it again. You’re my woman, and I’ll prove it to everyone, please, Elle.”
She shook her head. He heard her counting inside her head.
Don’t let him win. He’s a bastard. He used you and then went to his were-slut.
Did she know he could hear her thoughts?
Closing his eyes, Brandon let down his shield letting her sense the way he felt towards her. Moving his hand on the wall, he touched her thigh. The naked contact of their skin provided the connection for him to channel his thoughts inside her.
I’m here, baby. I’m a fool.
I love you.
Brandon opened his eyes at the revelation.
You don’t love me.
I do.
Leaning in close against her ear, Brandon licked the delicate skin of her neck. “I do love you, Elle. I just didn’t know it.”
She moaned, whimpering. Her pussy was on fire for what he could give her. His cock thickened. Moving his hand up under her skirt, Brandon pressed his palm against her panty-covered pussy. The heat of her arousal soaked through to his palm. She cried out, whimpering from his touch.
In one smooth tear, Brandon tore the panties from her. With his other hand, he cupped her breast through her uniform.
Pressing his fingers to her clit, Brandon worked her slit open, coating himself with her cream.
She gasped.
“That’s it, baby. Feel me touching you. Your body knows who its master is.”
Elle shook her head, fighting him.
He wouldn’t back down. This was for the good of his pack and for the good of his sanity. When he’d seen Alaric’s hands on her this afternoon, he’d almost lost control. No one touched his woman but him.
She’s our woman for the taking. Take her.
Undoing the buttons at the front of her dress, Brandon exposed her. Tearing in two the bra she wore, he filled his palm with her naked tit.
Their combined groans filled the air.
“You’re my mate, Elle. I’ll announce our mating in front of the entire town with the visitors present. I’ll take a fucking ad out in the paper if I have to. I don’t want Lori. I never wanted Lori. You’re the woman I want. You’re the woman I crave.”
“Why?”
“Because you complete me in a way no other can. When we’re together, can’t you sense our connection?”
“Yes,” she said, gasping.
He tweaked her nipple, loving the sounds she made from the slight pain.
“It’s like that all the time. The need to be together never stops. Even today with you being pissed at me, I wanted you.”
“How can you be sure you love me?” she asked.
“I know what I feel inside. That never goes away.”
He felt the fight she was having. She wanted to trust him, but at the same time she wanted to hurt him.
“I’m not giving up. You may run from me, but you’ll never get far. You’re not going to the city. I’ll come for you.”
She tensed. “How do you know about that?”
“I’m alpha. I know everything. There is nothing that escapes me. I’ll come for you.”
Elle groaned in frustration. “I never wanted to be your mate.”
“I know,” he said.
“You’re a bully.”
“I’m not going to argue with you, sweetheart. You call me what you need to call me.”
Brandon stroked her pussy waiting for her verbal attack. Elle needed to fight him to get her pain off her chest. He accepted it and waited for her to start.
“You’re a bastard.”
He stroked her clit, gathering juice and then pressed a finger inside her tight cunt.
“I hate you.”
Moving up to her clit, he pinched the nub. She cried out, thrusting onto his hand. The scent of her arousal started to get stronger.
“You’re old.”
He chuckled. “Keep going, baby.”
“Your breath smells, and I hate the fact you hunt animals. Animals are cute.”
“Keep going.”
“I don’t want to be your mate.”
“That’s a lie. Your pussy is dripping wet. You want me.” He pressed his cock against her ass. “Feel that? I want you so badly I fucking ache with it.”
She moaned, rubbing her ass against him. Letting go of her breast, he slapped her ass. Elle yelped but didn’t pull away.
“I promise you, Elle, there will be no more running. No more lies, and I’ll give you everything you desire. All you need to give me is your heart, and I’ll look after you and your heart.” He kissed the side of her neck. “Together and for always. I’ll even let you bitch at me over this.”

Elle wanted to walk away without looking back. It would be so easy to forget about him. Watching Brandon go to Lori had broken her heart, even as she felt his emotions she couldn’t bring herself to believe him. How could a man who walked away from her last night say he loved her this night? None of it made any sense.
