"You like?"

"It’s stunning," she answered honestly "When the others shifted to human form, I’ve noticed that except for Kalen, Hammer, and Nick, each of you has one somewhere on your body Even Micah has one"

His expression darkened a bit "Yeah, all of us ere attacked and changed years ago, in Afghanistan We did it e joined the Alpha Pack, as sort of a inning"

"That’s sad," she said softly

"To us, it was a tribute of sorts A way to say ’fuck it’ andin, he nibbled her neck "Let’s not talk anymore For now"

"Okay, for now- Oh!"

"I need you inside me! Protection?"

"Don’t need it," he said huskily,up her body to position himself "Shifters can’t catch or pass hu STDs And I can’t knock you up, either, unless we mate"

"Knock me up?" She wrinkled her nose "Such a roht here"

He was a ained in power and he held on tight, growling in obvious enjoyment as she licked the salty skin of his chest, nipped at his collarbone She pulled back a bit to watch his face, eyes closed, lips slightly parted, steeped in bliss His canines were elongated, the sharp tips just showing below his upper lip, and he e

"Oh!" she breathed "I’ to come!"

"Do it, baby," he rasped "Coashtly, crying out as he shouted, e When their spasathered her close With a contented sigh, she rested her head on his chest and wrapped an arm around his middle
