loudly. His cock was hard against her. Moving her feet, she could feel him in her folds, could almost feel him enter her. His growl made her want more from him, everything from him. He lifted her up and moved her back. The wall behind her was hard and cold; the man in front of her was hard and hot. She wanted to wrap herself around him. Wanted to feel him touch her skin, nip at her flesh, and take her. When she lifted her leg he held her up that way as he rocked into her. She was so close to something that she lifted her other leg without thinking. He tore from her when she cried out. When she started to fall forward, the pain in her leg so intense, she knocked his hands away when he tried to catch her. He simply lifted her into his arms and took her to the cot. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean for it to go that far here.” She looked up at him, the pain in her leg forgotten momentarily. “I meant to take you home first then mate with you so you wouldn’t be able to leave me.” “Really?” her voice dripped with sarcasm. There was no way he could have missed it, but apparently he had. “Yes. If we mate then you will have to stay with me. You’ll also not be able to harm me. We’ll be a couple.” Lou struggled to get off his lap. As soon as her feet hit the floor, she moved to the other side of the cell. It was that or strangle him. She stiffened when he stood as well. “You say once we’re mates or whatever then I won’t be able to harm you.” He nodded. “But for now I can. I wouldn’t come any further if I were you.” He stopped and grinned at her. She was sure that had worked on other women, but she, he would soon discover, was not other women. He took one then another step forward. “Now, Lou honey. You know as well as I do that we can’t not let this happen between us. This is much bigger than either of us can—” As soon as his head hit the floor she stepped over him and out of the cell. Bigger my ass , she thought as she went out of the labyrinth of halls in the sub level of the jail. Stopping at the desk, she asked if she was free to go and left. She started to tell the man at the desk about Connor, but thought he’d come around soon enough.
Chapter 7
Connor was pissed. He pulled into the compound, tires throwing rock and dust everywhere. He was out of his truck before the engine died completely. His mother was standing on the front porch when he stepped onto the first step. “You won’t go into this house with that much anger.” She held her ever present spoon in front of her like a shield. “I won’t have you going to her mad like you are.” “She fucking hit me.” He flushed when she raised her brow. “She hit me in the head and left me on the floor to…to who knows what. Am I supposed to just let her do that and get by with it? I’m her mate, damn it.” “She told me what you said to her.” He frowned. He’d not said anything bad to her. “You actually told her that you were going to mate with her to keep her in line? Connor Force, what is wrong with you?” He hadn’t said that. Had he? He tried to think of what he’d said. “I told her that she’d not be able to harm me once we were mated. And that’s the truth.” The tapping foot made him try to think harder. “I also told her that she’d not be able to leave me.” “And that is the most romantic thing you could say to a woman who spent three days in the hospital then a day in a cell? Mate with me so you have to come to heel.” Connor started to glare at her and thought better of it. That fucking spoon hurt when she caught you between the eyes like she did. He looked up at the second floor to the pack house where he knew she was. “She’s not cooperating with me.” He sat on the step and put his head in his hands. “She doesn’t want anything to do with me either. How am I supposed to protect her when she keeps running away?” He felt his mom sit next to him and put her arm
