this the hard-on of a man who doesn’t want you, baby?” He shook his head. “I think not. I think that this is the steel spike of a man who can’t wait to sink his cock so deep inside you that you’ll never get him out. I want you so much it hurts, Alexa, but I refuse to allow the mating heat to take your choices away from you.”
“As do I,” Wade agreed. “We have waited lifetimes for you. We don’t plan to muck up our chances by rushing you or making you feel less than you are.”
“You are everything to us.” Ryker backed up a few more paces as though he didn’t trust himself in such close proximity to their mate. Perhaps he didn’t. After all, Wade was having a difficult time keeping his hands to himself.
He wanted nothing more than to slide his hand beneath her waistband and take her to heights she didn’t know existed. He wanted to give her orgasm after orgasm until she sobbed with her releases and begged them to make her theirs, but that wasn’t fair.
She had to make up her own mind or they would muck everything up. To become a man’s mate was always up to the woman. If they took that choice away from her, it could very well damn them all to hell.
“So what do we do now then?” Alexa asked as she slid off his lap and stood on shaking legs.
Wade stared up at her, mesmerized by her beauty. She looked so lovely standing before him with her face flushed and her hair mussed. She had whisker burns on her neck, just below her ear. The marks made him smile. Any male who lived here in Paradise would know that those marks meant she belonged to someone and they would keep their distance. The visiting humans were another story. Any one of them could see his mate and make a move on her. They wouldn’t realize the significance of another’s mark on her silken flesh.
The thought made his cat snarl. He did his best not to allow the beast’s frustration to show. The last thing he wanted to do was scare Alexa. She had enough to think about without having to worry that either of them would turn into their cats and devour her. While he thought devouring her wasn’t a bad idea, he was certain they weren’t thinking of the term in quite the same way.
“I think we should get you checked into the lodge. Your friends will be there and we’ll be able to keep an eye on you without having to worry that this Perry person will be able to get to you in any way.” He gestured toward the front of the trailer where he assumed her bedroom was and said, “Go pack your things. If you have anything that’s important, I would suggest bringing it, as well. We’ll post guards on your things but we have no way of assuring that your things will be safe unless they’re in the lodge with us.”
“How can you make sure they’re safe, even then?” She frowned at them as she made her way toward her room. “I mean, they’ll be in a hotel.”
“Yes, but it’s a hotel for shifters, owned by shifters. Also, two of the owners are retired Army Rangers and one of them is the sheriff of Paradise. Believe me when I say that you’ll be one of the safest women in town while staying there.”
“But I don’t really have the money.” She stared at the floor and bit her lip. “If I’m going to stay here, I’ll need every penny I have to rent an apartment.”
“Darlin’,” Wade interrupted with a smile. “Don’t you worry about a thing. We’ll pay for your stay while you think about our offer. No pressure. You don’t have to pay us back no matter what you decide. Just stay there, knowing that we want you to be as safe as you can be while you’re here. We’ll be there with you, so there’s no need to worry.”
“I think there’s every need to worry.” Alexa grinned. “It’s great that you want to keep me safe from Perry and his men, but who’s going to keep me safe from you two?”
