Chapter Eight

Logan wanted to stop time, to freeze this moment forever. Someone had built a fire in the hearth, giving the room a romantic glow. Mercy stood beside her bed, a welcoming smile on her face as she reached for the buttons of her tunic. Three long steps brought him to her side. “Let me.”

He brushed her hands aside and slowly slid each button from its hole, exposing the soft flesh beneath. The backs of his fingers skimmed the curve of her breasts. Mercy’s chest expanded as she took a deep breath, pushing the plump flesh more firmly against his hands.

His breathing was none too steady. He’d spent the first thirty years of his life being in control of every situation he’d found himself in. That was the only way he’d survived. This one small woman made a mockery of it simply by standing there. Logan knew he could either fight what he felt for her or accept it.

Fighting it wouldn’t change a thing. He could spend all night holding Mercy, doing nothing more than looking at her and stroking her skin and it would be enough. Of course, he wanted to do more, a hell of a lot more. But he’d take whatever she’d give him and be grateful. Everything about her pleased him, from her gentleness with the children to her incredible strength and innate goodness.

Logan was an Alpha. He was quick and smart and almost always right. It changed nothing to lie to himself, to deny the obvious.

He loved Mercy Dockins.

He, Alpha Two, a man with no last name or family, wanted her with every fiber of his being. Blood stained his hands and his soul, but he wasn’t ashamed. He’d done what he’d had to in order to survive. But Mercy didn’t deserve that kind of darkness in her life.

“Logan?” Her soft voice shattered his bleak thoughts. He might not deserve her, but he wasn’t strong enough to turn away from this one night with her. After all he’d been through in his life, he deserved this one memory of her to keep in his heart forever.

“You’re so beautiful.” The pads of his fingers skimmed up her slender neck and over her cheekbones. Her skin was soft, supple. He traced her bottom lip with his thumb. Her lips parted, her tongue darting out to touch his flesh, to taste him.

His cock jerked at that small touch. If Mercy had spent the last hour stroking his shaft, he wouldn’t be any more aroused than he was now. One touch was all it would take to set him off.

That couldn’t happen. He wanted to caress every inch of her delectable body. Taste it. Memorize it. “Lift your arms.” She raised them without question, which pleased him. Catching the ends of the tunic, he tugged it over her head and let it fall to the floor.

He’d seen her naked this morning in the pantry but this was different. That had been in the heat of passion. This was deliberate, an invitation.
