Her head snapped up. Her eyes grew dark, and her mouth opened in a wordless cry, but the teeth sharpening before his gaze and the fur sprouting from her caught his attention the most. It wasn’t just patches but the whole of her this time, growing so thick that she was coated in a sheen of silky dark gray. Bones creaked as the rest of her tried to catch up to the momentum, but there was no bursting into her beast form even when she visibly tried to get it out with all her might. She pushed, then pushed again. His hands squeezed her shoulders to stop the next.

“Know your limits,” he said. “Don’t push to the point that there’s nothing left of you.”

Her eyes flared. She nodded as her fingers clutched the pole tighter, effectively pressing closer to him. Maya pushed once more, a grunt flying off her lips at the effort it took. Her muscles quivered and her breath sharpened. Her fur grew even thicker as she buried her head in his neck, where he felt her mouth transform into a snout before re

    “Fuck. I’m sorry. I…Maya.” The husky, rough tone signaled he was just as aroused awake as he had been in his sleep. “I was having a dream. A stupid dream. It’s just…you are wet.”The baffled declaration had her startled. So did his moving fingers. When they stopped, a whimper came out of her lips before she bit the next one in and grabbed his wrist. His muscles flexed, then trembled.“Luke.”There was only a charged serenity after the whisper of his name. His arm ceased trembling and began to relax, every second of it thrumming in her veins. Then his fingers moved once more, taking away the ache as he tapped against her entrance. Her world upended when his other hand wriggled its way to the front, grazing her breast. When she arched, he cupped, the only permission he needed as his hand grew more dominant. His thumb brushed, finding the stiff peak before he rolled it between his fingers until she was shuddering.“I suppose you need this after those hours of pain,” he surmised, close to

    “No.” Then, “Not just them.”The memories of an innocent giggle and a deep laugh fluttered in.“A lover…no, husband,” he guessed. At her nod, his jaw clenched. He pursued her some more before his eyes widened. “A child.”It hurt hearing it from someone else, but like before, the hurt was no longer an open wound that easily bled. She nodded once more and watched him rear back as if slapped. She braced herself for the anger and was taken aback when he didn’t blow up.Luke just kept perusing as if she was a puzzle he wanted to figure out. Something clicked on his features.“Had. Not have.” His mouth parted. “You lost them.”It wasn’t a question, but she nodded, anyway. The rest lay heavy on her chest until it found its way out. “All of them.”“Shit.” He went slack. “I’m sorry.”Compassion swirled in his eyes, confusing her.“How long ago?”“Three years.”“So, you haven’t been with anyone since…?”“A mistake. I’m sorry.”The compassion was still there but toned down as he realized just ho

    “All Luke needs is an apology, and he’s good to go.”The casual words did nothing to Maya, but Tina went still as a stone. Then she stood and crossed her arms.“Why would she need to apologize if she’s not the one at fault?”“How would you know she’s not the one at fault?” Eric shot back.“And why would you assume she is?”Somehow, Maya got the idea that it was no longer about her as the two stood looking at each other, stubbornly latching on to their stance. Then Tina uncrossed her arms and sighed.“Are you watching this area until Reese comes back?”“Obviously.”“Fine. Have a good watch.”She stalked off after. Maya ogled in fascination as what she thought would be Eric ignoring her all the way became him staring at Tina’s back upon her retreat with what looked like longing in his eyes. The longing disappeared when he looked away, and he was back to his composure when he returned his focus to Maya.“I didn’t mean to make you the culprit. But my brother isn’t the type to avoid someon

    I felt like a load off his shoulders as North Bear was filed away from his mind. Luke nodded and watched Angelo leave, his stance indicating he had more news for others. Luke strode in the other direction, walking in circles when he found the tent empty. Then it didn’t take him long to locate Maya, who was scrambling with a few others to cover the area where the tropical fruits were. When she spotted him, she looked away and continued with her task, then excused herself from the group.“Maya, wait up.”Thunder boomed as he followed her and echoed her hastening steps. When she turned towards her tent area, he stood in her path.“Not a good idea to stay there when there are winds tonight, and it’s just going to get worse.”“I know how to secure a tent,” she shot back, sidestepping him. Her hands went busy as they took out ropes, but he snatched them off her grasp.“I know you do. But we have a perfectly functional mansion and more secure spots in other areas.”“Fine.”“And I don’t think

    Things were fine between them, but it didn’t give him the authority to keep looking at her. It took an effort to cut the connection and look elsewhere until his gaze landed on Eric, who stood at the edge of the clearing and was agitated. He couldn’t see who Eric was talking to, and his brother ventured out before he could observe some more.“Are you on duty tonight?” Reese asked.“No.” Luke debated within. “But it doesn’t hurt to check around.”“I can help—”“No, stay here. Enjoy the night. I got this.”Reese settled in, not about to contradict the offer to relax. Luke crept out of the main hub and checked around as he had said, but it was more a sensing of things rather than actively finding some open threat. Voices flitted in his ears: the muted laughter and clinking of goblets, the quiet conversation of people just bonding. A moan in the distance signaled that not everyone was down to celebrate with the crowd, and he stifled a chuckle when the thumping of a wooden shed accompanied

    “I will have to take a rain check.”“Oh.”He heard her surprise. He watched Maya bid goodbye to Paul and leave, and the beast in him clawed.“Excuse me, Bethany. I will see you around.”He left before she could ask questions. Luke felt like he was involved in a strange, addictive dance when he found Maya minutes later, but they both remained where they were: walking the same path with a row of bushes, plants, and trees between them.“Hey,” he called out.“Hey.” Silence. “She seems to be into you.”“He seems to be into you.”“He was being friendly.”“There’s that.” He nodded. “But he’s crazy if he doesn’t even think about hitting on you.”Green eyes flared. Her breath hitched, but her gait didn’t change as she already had a direction in mind. So did he, and it didn’t take them long to reach the tent, once more set up, more isolated than ever as everyone close by was at the party. When she reached the entrance, she spun to face him, visibly jolted at how close he stood.Her throat worke

    It didn’t last long. Something had to give, and it was her who gave in first. Her hips grew more restless and her movements became more erratic. When she started bouncing, he shot up to a sitting position and helped her out, lifting her butt and pushing it down every time he thrust up. The shock on her face was blasted by desire so intense, her fingers clawed on his hair and shoulders.He took her mouth and threw himself into the delicious friction until it became unbearable. He sucked on her tongue and licked on her nipples when he was close, needing just her to anchor himself. When she pleaded with a cry, he spun them until she was on her back, knowing just what she needed. So, he gave it to her as hard as he could, pummeling it at an angle that touched her pleasure point. Maya grew wild before him, bursting into a heaving, erratic shaking before her eyes widened. At his next thrust, he swallowed the cry of release with a kiss, then moved once more until his pounding culminated into

    “Obviously,” he mused. “Reptile shifters, other aggressive clans who discovered this place. But no one lasted long, and the rest don’t know we live here. We have a lot of distraction tactics.”Just like her clan. “I bet a lot of people stumble in this area and are clueless that this community exists.”“Not a lot, but yes. Lesser now with Angelo around.”The way everyone just kept mentioning Angelo with clear-cut admiration and not a hint of fear spoke of how much he had a hold here. Yet the man she faced once or twice had been nothing but friendly, showing none of that wielded power.“Does Angelo have enough connections to protect your clan?”“Some. We don’t rely on outside sources if we can help it.”“And how many deaths have you had lately?”“Zero.” There was a long pause. “I’m sure Luke and the others will come back alive.”The quiet scrutiny had her backing off when she realized how obvious she was being. She searched for an explanation, but the younger man had returned to his boo
