question.
“Not really.” Katrina rolled her eyes, a small smile formed on her lips. “Maybe a little cyber stalking, okay? But what was I supposed to do? Put yourself in my shoes. You know how it is for wolves. We have no idea who our mate is, let alone if we’ll ever even meet them. And then this ‘thing’ tells me I have one and that when I meet him, I’m going to kill him. I suspected it was you. There’s part of me…I still don’t know for sure.”
“Let me get this straight, some sicko abducts you, beats you, steals your magick and you believe some mumbo jumbo they tell you?”
“And this is exactly why I didn’t tell you.” Katrina seethed. She’d had enough of his games. If he didn’t believe her, he could go to hell. She’d find a way to kill these demons on her own. As her hands flew up off the desk, he struck as fast as a cobra, snatching her wrists out of the air. Desperate, she screamed at him. “You want the truth? I’ll give you the fucking truth. I didn’t stop Tristan when he misunderstood. I let them continue believing the lie so you’d stay far away from me. That night at the party? I wanted you so bad I couldn’t breathe. But I left anyway. I did all this to save you from me…me, the person who will ultimately kill the great Alpha. The one who might be my mate.”
“Put your hands back where I told you, now.” Jax loosened his hold, returning her hard glare.
“Make me,” she challenged.
“Hands on the desk,” he growled.
“I’m only doing this to prove a point.” Katrina yanked her arms away from him and set her palms flat. “Do not misread this as my submission.”
“Believe me, little wolf, when you submit, we’ll both know it.” Jax slid his hands underneath the hem of her skirt, slowly grazing his fingers up to her hips. His expression softened as he spoke. “This thing between us…ah, Kat. I wanted you too. And when I thought you’d lied. I was so angry. Confused. I’ve dated a lot of women, but that night…it was like there was no one else.”
“Jax…” Katrina licked her lips, recalling his searing kiss. She could no longer abide her craving for the one man she’d gone so long without. But neither could she give in to him without him acknowledging the truth, believing her words. “You have no idea how much I’ve wanted to be with you. I’m sorry I left. I really am so sorry, but…I don’t want to hurt you…I won’t hurt you. I don’t know why this is happening to me. But I’m trying to fix it…looking for a way to stop them.”
Jax paused, his eyes locked on hers. Katrina’s stomach fluttered as she waited on his words.
“I sure as hell wish you’d told me what was happening instead of running. But are we really mates? Meant for each other? There’s only one way to find out. You know it. And I know it.” Jax’s lips hovered inches over her knee, his warm breath on her skin. “I should send you back to Tristan, but I just can’t.”
Katrina hissed as his lips brushed her inner thigh. She knew why he wouldn’t let her go; for the same reason she hadn’t run. As the tip of his nose edged under her dress, she took pause, aware that she wasn’t a hundred percent certain he was indeed her mate. After all she’d done to protect him from the curse, what if she was wrong?
“These things…these demons…they’re going to have to go through me if they think they’re taking you again. You need to learn to trust me.” Jax raised his eyes, pinning her with his stare. In silence, his fingers hooked around her panties.
“I never meant to hurt you…” Katrina tilted her hips, allowing him to remove her underwear. As the cool air hit her damp pussy, she arched her chest.
“Time for pleasure, my little wolf. I’ve waited so long to have you…open your dress,” Jax told her.
Barely cognizant of her surroundings, Katrina scanned the office. Although alone inside, employees milled about outside his door. She focused back on Jax,
