Chapter 15

The thought of Briar staring mutinously at Cray as he fucked her had Matese’s hands curling into white-knuckled fists. Inside, Beast was pacing in silence and waiting. He didn’t care what Matese planned or thought. Beast would take matters into his own hands if Matese even considered letting that happen.

Trying to stay focused on the conversation instead of the images bombarding his mind and the warnings being thrown out by his wolf, Matese snarled, “To me?”

“To who the fuck ever,” Brair cried. “Just not him! And apparently not you either, but, fine. I’ll find someone else.”

The hell she would! “Sweetheart, if you think I’m letting another male touch you, you’re fucking wrong.”

“What do you care?” she raged. “You won’t help.” She shook her head as some of her fire dimmed. “So let someone else.”

Let someone else? Let someone else! Like he was really just going to let her stroll down to the bar and grant some stupid fucking human her most sacred gift.

“No!” he thundered. “And you’re gonna get your pretty little self in trouble if you bring it up again, so don’t.”

“What?”

“I said you’re gonna get yourself in trouble if . . .”

“No,” she cut him off. “What did you just call me?”

Too caught up in the idea of Briar throwing away her virginity, it took a minute for him to replay his own words. Nothing he’d said sounded off, so he repeated it verbatim. “I said you’re gonna get your pretty little self in trouble if you bring it up again, so don’t.”

Eyes crinkling in the corners, Briar stared at him in disbelief. “You said before that I wasn’t pretty.”

His response was instantaneous. “You’re not.”

He could have kicked himself when Briar dipped her head and gave a deflated little huff as her shoulders fell.

“You never were pretty,” he explained, needing to wipe that hurt expression off her face.

Briar’s dark bangs had swept into her face when she’d looked down a moment ago, but Matese could see her eyes behind her hair. She’d made her declaration about wanting to die by challenge before letting Cray claim her, and, yeah, she looked tired, but she didn’t look scared. She wasn’t afraid, and it was fucking gorgeous. She wanted to go down fighting. She wasn’t going to just lie down for Cray, and it had Matese’s dick going hard and his heart rate kicking up. It had him thinking she deserved a reward for standing in front of him declaring how she was going to challenge crazy Kaiser and take something from Cray and do both without an ounce of fear, so he gifted her the truth.

“You’re fucking beautiful, Briar.” His jaw ticked once before he admitted, “Always have been.”

Briar’s head snapped up, her mouth falling open as she sucked in a startled little breath. Her eyes roved his face, and he knew she was trying to gauge if he was being serious.

“Scent me,” he ordered. “All you’ll find is truth. You’re so goddamn breathtaking it’s distracting. You make it hard to pay attention to anything else.
