Chapter 16

She wanted to self-destruct, did she? Nolan told her before he’d go down with her. He meant every word.

Her scent was curious as it filled the cab of his truck. Thick with a desire that pushed his blood straight to his dick, there was an underlying sadness and hesitation that screamed for caution.

His fingers itched to reach for her. One touch, one test to see how far she wanted to go.

He tightened his hands on the steering wheel.

Nolan eyed the road. One way led back into town and the inn. The other ran straight past the turnoff for the clan’s cabins. His cabin. “Where to?”

“Your place.”

Her pulse sped, and he swore his heart pumped to match that beat.

Becca released her seatbelt and scooted closer. Nolan could feel the heat radiating off her body. He willed her to touch him, take whatever she wanted. He was hers. Always and forever.

Hesitantly, she pressed her hand to his thigh. He slashed his eyes to her and found her watching him. So he gave her his best devil-may-care grin.

“You after something specific tonight, sweetheart?”

“I need...” She paused and searched for the word. Whatever it was she thought she needed, she shoved it away. “You.”

Nolan inhaled and tried to puzzle her out. She might have had a flicker of hesitation, but it vanished. She matched his smile and dragged her nails up his thigh.

“Unless you’re not interested?”

He swallowed hard when she pressed her palm to his cock and squeezed. He glanced at her again with a smirk. “That feel like I’m uninterested?”

He inhaled deeply. She was drenched. And why not? They were mates whether she admitted it or not. His body called to hers just as she did to him. On a primal level, they were a perfect match.

And she was giving him a chance to prove it.

The rest of the short trip to his cabin was a blur of touches and teasing kisses. She worked her way under his skin even more than ever before. And still, her scent swirled around him, thick enough for him to drown in. It wasn’t a death he would hate.

His front door clicked behind him and she whirled. Their eyes connected. Dark brown, the color of chocolate, burned away to a fiery gold.

She took one step backward, and he followed. She moved again, and he stepped forward once more.

He shrugged out of his suit jacket. Her heels dropped to the floor and sank her down two inches.

He reached for her then, unable to keep his hands to himself when her eyes blazed and her curls hung wildly around her face. He cupped her cheeks and pressed his lips to hers.

By the Broken, she tasted as sweet and wild as she looked. He missed how she felt in his arms. That little peck turned into more quickly, and he just as quickly felt himself spinning out of control.

Mark her. Mate her.

Nolan pulled back on his bear. Too many questions needed to be asked. Words needed to be shared. He couldn’t—wouldn’t—tie her to him while she could still resent him.
