Thaus couldn’t decide if he’d been shot straight into heaven or hell. Balancing the sexual need within his mate as well as her fears and his own rage at what those bastards had done to her was an impossible conundrum. How could he please her without frightening her? How could he ease her desires without destroying the fragile bond between them? Everything with her ended up being some sort of exquisite torture, a lust-fueled roller coaster that sometimes ended in a way he hadn’t seen coming. One hand on her leg, and they’d crashed. That was all it took.

But his mate, she rallied hard, which only caused more confusion. He had Ariel pressed up against him with her legs spread around him…and he couldn’t touch her. Not really. He’d slipped with the hand on her thigh, and her reaction had been immediate and visceral in its fear. A fact that just about killed him. She seemed so shattered by what they did to her. Thaus wanted to fix that, to help her find some sort of comfort, but he had no idea if he ever would. No one healed from being treated so violently. They moved on and learned to live with the memories and the nightmares, but they never truly healed. Those scars ran too deep to disappear. Instead, they stood out, scabbed and swollen. Always one touch away from breaking open again. From lashing out with renewed pain. People who’d been so broken didn’t heal; they learned to live through the pain and the mess of a cycle of fear most people would never experience. They soldiered on even when they had no idea how to do so. They survived because the other option wasn’t an option at all.

Thaus stood completely still, watching Ariel, waiting her out. She seemed so much smaller as she collected herself, so breakable. He knew her strength, though. He saw it on her face every moment of the day. She battled demons he could only imagine, led by a sense of determination that eclipsed everything around her. She was more powerful than he was by far, just for being willing to get out of bed every morning and face what the day would bring.

Ariel proved that strength when she once again slid her fingers into his waistband. Brave to the point of pain, his shewolf.

Thaus jerked back, clenching his hand into a fist so he wouldn’t reach for her. “You don’t have to—”

“I know, but I want to,” she said, once again getting to know his cock with her fingers. A warrior fighting a battle in her own mind as she tried to push past something he could never truly understand.

The heaven of her touch once again warred with the hell of not being able to reciprocate in any way. He growled and dropped his head, unsure about continuing but unable to resist. Her hand felt so good, too good almost. Felt like the breath of an angel from a place he’d never thought he’d make it into.
