Oh God, she was gonna cry "Stop," she rasped

"Tell me how I couldn’t want to make her happy, whatever it took"

She would have backed away if she weren’t already plastered against the wall "I said stop"

"Tell me how I couldn’t want to keep her and claim her as mine"

"Seriously, stop"

"Tell me how I couldn’t love her"

She sucked in a sharp breath, stunned

Jesse raked his hands into her hair "That’s right, baby, I love you Alill" He slammed his mouth down on hers The kiss was hard Deep Wet Greedy Ale The addictive taste of her drove him into a frenzy; he’d always crave it, always burn for it Always burn for her

A prihten and his cock to harden to the point of pain Jesse angled her head hoanted it,the kiss even deeper He took her mouth like he needed it to survive--and he did; he needed Harley One of her hands tugged on his hair while the other clawed at his nape, deet

Harley hissed as his teeth bit into her lip, drawing blood Licking over the punctureand hooked it over his hip Each tiue into herher leg around hi him closer She felt empty Hot Restless Almost like a cat in heat "I need you in h him, Jesse shredded her clothes with his claws just as she yanked off his T-shirt and tore open his fly "Good, because I want in you" Her cat eyes gloith a priut "Now"

Harley curled her arms around his neck as he abruptly lifted her, his hands like steel bands around her thighs His dark eyes blazed into hers, and her pussy clenched at the raw, unadulterated possession stas around hi hi her claws into the sleek skin of his back

Jesse groaned as her hot pussy claht then But he didn’t "Hold htened around him until they were as close as two people could be Then he was powering into her with rough, territorial strokes His wolf’s possessiveness fueled every thrust "My pussy," Jesse growled against her ht hiaze "You belong to me, don’t you?" His tone dared her to deny what they both kneas true

"Yes," she rasped, watching as ive me your throat" Ah, a little wariness flashed across her face He wasn’t surprised to see her still struggle with that "It doesn’ting an inner battle He growled, "Give it toher neck He daht as his pace turned brutal and he ferociously ha into her neck Her cat reveled in how anihs that Harley knew he’d leave bruises, but she didn’t care She loved the little brands he left Loved how rough and aggressive he could be Loved hi she was, just as her cat did

"Jesse, I’ fast toward her

He bit her neck "Mark me, Harley Claim me" He needed it His wolf needed it It was a soul-deep need that torht Jesse had asked her tiain to do it, but she never did Never--

Jesse hissed out a breath as sharp little teeth sank deep into his shoulder, stabbing hard enough to draw blood Hishim And like that, he exploded He didn’t just comented as his cock swelled and pulsed deep inside his mate while her pussy contracted around hirowled

And then every bit of energy see her tight, he turned and slid to the wooden floor, stretching out his legs for her to straddle the She’d claimed him His mate had finally clai he’d experienced before It settled into every pore, everyand relieved that this little cat they adored had returned their clailed into their mate He was the only male both her hurown bored with Harley’s huhted, and challenged both sides of her nature "Oh, um, by the waylove you too," she slurred into his chest

Throat burning, Jesse kissed her hair and inhaled the honey scent of her shampoo He’d known she cared for him--she would never have let him claim her if she didn’t--but he hadn’t kno hts when he watched her sleep, wondering if he’d ever find a way into that big heart that was encased in an iron cage It was probably natural that sos so deeply would protect that heart so it didn’t go through life constantly bruised He’d hoped she’d trust him to be a person ouldn’t abuse that trust and purposely wound her But he had hurt her, and now he needed to fix it
