Losing Myself in You
deep in the covers that surrounded her. She had them tightly balled into her hands, her knuckles white.
    He could smell it on her.
    She was ha ving sex. In her sleep.
    He watched her, transfixed by everything: the way her body moved, the sounds she would make, the way she looked. He wanted nothing more than to finish her off right there, wanted to feel her nails dig into his skin… He might have even been jealous, but he was almost certain she was dreaming about him. That and the fact he was mesmerized by everything about her.
    It would have been easier if he had taken her while she was asleep. Marcus knew that; there would be no struggle and since she seemed so consumed by her dream, it was highly unlikely that she would awaken. But… he had to wait. He had to watch her finish, no matter what it meant. Of course he had seen her in his dreams, but that wasn't the same…
    And just like that, her hips bucked up, and if it was possible, her fingers gripped the covers even tighter. Her head tilted back as she twitched, fully experiencing the sensation of her climax even though she was sleeping deeply. She even moaned slightly, and Marcus had to restrain himself from climbing on the bed and causing her to feel such pleasure while she was awake. Sex could wait. First, he needed to get her back to the house.
    At that moment, however, Bridgette's eyes snapped open in Marcus's direction, as though she could sense his presence, as though she knew he was watching her. She didn’t appear frightened of him, for whatever reason. Instead, she merely stared at him, trying to wait to speak until the pleasure had subsided.
    She had dreamt of him . Again.
    And he had watched her body react to such a dream.
    "What are you doing here?" she asked him, her voice laced with husk.  She sat up, which was quite an effort for her tired body.
    Again, Marcus had to restrain himself from forgetting about his mission and jumping on top of her in order to inflict the same pleasure on her in reality. Even the sound of her voice did things to his body he wasn't completely aware of but wanted nothing more than to figure out.
    "I'm here to take you home," he told her, and though his voice was rough, he wasn't angry, upset, or frustrated.
    "I am home," she told him firmly, though she, too, had yet to be upset over anything.
    " Our home," he said again, in a tone that told her there was no argument. "With me. With my pack."
    Bridgette narrowed her eyes , now fully awake. "That will never be my home," she told him through clenched teeth.
    Though Marcus didn't want to admit it, her words cut through him more than he expected, and something primal growled within. "I am making it your choice, but if need be, I will throw you over my shoulder and take you home with me."
    "Well, I'm not going," she said, her tone the same as his. "You'll have to force me and I guarantee I will struggle."
    Marcus cocked his lips up into an amused smirk that did not meet his eyes and shrugged his broad shoulders. "That'll make it more fun," he told her, and without warning, he reached out and grabbed Bridgette. Just like he promised, he tossed her over his shoulder with relative ease and proceeded to head out of her room.  He made sure one of his hands was pressed tightly over her mouth in order to prevent her screams from being heard.  Once he reached the safety of the wilderness, she could scream and shout as much as he wanted.  He knew no one would bother him.  His face was known throughout the city as the Alpha male of the Sterling pack, and no one would dare do anything to risk bodily harm to themselves.  It also helped that his pack invested in a lot of the city’s businesses.  He had more friends than enemies here.
    But that didn’t deter Bridgette.  J ust like she promised, she struggled – kicking and punching, wiggling and shaking - every inch of the way.
