her lips parting in
horror as her eyes flew open. Most of the time terror fed the wolf, making it
stronger. In this case Rachel managed to overpower her newly created beast,
thrusting it into the corner.
    “Oh no.” Embarrassment laced the words that echoed in his
ears. “Oh God!”
    She’s confused and afraid. Do this right. Don’t fuck up.
    With regret he pulled his finger from the satiny walls that
gripped him, reminding himself that his female needed to be seduced and not
forced. He slid his hand from her panties, already sensing her physical and
emotional withdrawal. Good thing he’d listened to his instincts. If he’d
claimed her she would have hated him for it. He had to prove himself and show
her why he was a worthy male and mate.
    “We’ll drive to your place and get your things,” he said,
quickly moving from the bed. If he didn’t, he didn’t think he’d be able to put
a lid on his urges. “I want you to be comfortable here.”
    “What?” It hurt, watching her scramble away after what
they’d shared. “I’m not staying here. I told you that.”
    Patience was a virtue he sorely lacked. Damn it.
    “Just Rachel,” he taunted, drawing out the endearment. If
he’d learned anything during their time together it was that she hated being
goaded. “You are staying here. You might despise the sight of me but
you’ll get used to it. I’m not leaving you alone to face what’s coming. Like it
or not this is your home.” Taking a step closer, he attempted to provoke her
further. “Get used to it, sunshine. You’re stuck with me.”
    She opened her mouth to argue, fire flashing in her morning
blue eyes. After a moment’s hesitation he brought his finger to his mouth,
slipping it between his lips. Her flavor burst on his tongue, sweet and spicy.
Closing his eyes, he savored the first taste of his mate. He’d shocked her but
it was worth it. She needed to understand he wasn’t going anywhere. He opened
his eyes and their gazes locked. He smelled her newfound arousal, could see it
in the way her irises lightened near her pupils. In a few days—when the full
moon arrived—she’d be unable to deny him.
    A small comfort but a comfort nonetheless.
    “I…uh…” She quickly averted her gaze, staring at the floor.
    He removed his finger, running his tongue over his lip.
Already her taste was fading but he’d never forget it, able to recall it from
memory. A part of her belonged to him even if she wasn’t fully aware of it.
They’d crossed an enormous obstacle, obliterating a wall that had stood too
long between them. She’d given herself over, asking for his touch. Living with
him she’d eventually want more. One by one he was determined to eradicate each
barrier, to get beneath her skin in the same way she’d gotten beneath his.
    Starting now.
    “One door leads to the bathroom, the other is the closet.
You saw where I came in, so I’m guessing you know which way is out.” Regretful
and aching himself, he drew back, watching her with each step he took away.
“Most of my things won’t fit but you’re welcome to anything I have. I’ll give
you some time to get dressed. When you’re ready come find me.”
    Then—before she could entice him to say to fuck with it and
ravish her silly—he opened the door, stepped outside and closed it behind him.

    You’re a nothing but a jezebel, might as well put on a
red light.
    Rachel’s gaze darted to Declan, just as it had many times
since they’d climbed into his large SUV. The image of him licking his finger
shot through her head. As always, warmth accompanied the visual, spreading over
her like melted butter. If he’d ditched his shirt and joined her in bed, she
could have felt those lips against her skin. His touch had been confident and
expert, giving her pleasure in seconds. She’d never climaxed so quickly, riding
on adrenaline and need.
    “Just Rachel?” Declan purred, looking at her. His irises
were amber-hued, his lips
