“Yes,” she purred, fingers curving into the pile of furs she knelt upon.
He didn’t care. Fisting his cock with his free hand, he pumped as he growled low. “Don’t you fucking come in here.”
“You better fucking come inside me.” She rode his hand. “Fucking put your cock in me and fuck me.”
Removing his fingers, coated in their mixed release, he held them to her lips and groaned when she sucked them deep into her mouth. Unable to resist any longer, he thrust deep inside her once more, eyes fluttering at the raw pleasure he received from her velvet heat encompassing his dick.

Macsen wouldn’t stop grinning as the four of them sat on the furs which was piled around the floor. Jeremy had Dianna tucked between his legs, her back flush to his chest. She was, once again dressed—more’s the pity—as was he.
“Stop grinning,” he snapped at his brother.
“Can’t help it.” There was absolutely no remorse in the man’s tone. “You’ve mated. And you look fucking happy.” A shrug. “As happy as you can, that is. And your mate is a kickass cop. I love this.”
Dianna chuckled against him but didn’t pull away nor did she argue his statement. He tightened his hold on her and rested his chin on her shoulder.
“As much as I love this family reunion for you lot, I’d like to get home make sure my family is fine and stop this fucker. So no more dodging, tell me who the fuck this Aleks is.”
Macsen winked. “Cop voice. So hot.”
He flashed fang at his sibling who merely laughed harder.
“My cop.”
“Boys,” Dianna reprimanded.
“Short answer,” Jeremy said drawing back a little so he didn’t break her as he thought about Aleks.
“Long, short, I don’t give a fuck. I want to know what we’re up against and what the plan is to take him down and get the hell out of dodge.” Dianna moved away from him and he yanked her right back.
“Stay.”
“Not a dog and let’s not forget,” she snapped turning back toward him. “It was me they took. Me they held in some small cold ass cell. Me they tossed icy water on outside once a week. Me who had that psycho choke and put his claws into me. You will not keep me out of this and if you’re correct that this has to do with my best friend, you’ve got a hell of a wakeup call coming if you think I’m sitting this one out.”
He narrowed his gaze and bent closer.
“You are my mate and I will protect you.”
His brothers watched, amusement on their faces. Even Vaughn’s lips curled up.
“This mate thing doesn’t have to be permanent.” Her words were snarled and he snapped.
He whipped his hand out and gripped the back of her neck, dragging her right back to him, so they were nose to nose. There were still lingering marks from the time she’d spent in captivity as well as the aftereffects of the car accident but none of that mattered. Her eyes sparked with defiance and stubbornness as she didn’t back down from his glare.
“You wear my mark. You. Are. Mine.”
His cat leaked into his tone as he snarled. The words weren’t truly words, more feral than anything but he realized the moment she spat that shit he refused to lose this woman. And her stating that scared the every living fuck out of him. He’d not ever wanted anyone to wield such power over him but this woman didn’t follow his rules. She had sauntered into his life and turned it on it’s head.
“And I’m no shrinking violet. This is literally my job. Hunting down people who do things like this. Who break the law. You and your magical dick can jump in a fucking lake if you think I’m not going to be part of this.”
“You’re human.” Claws slid from his fingertips and settled against her neck.
She didn’t so much as flinch. “And a cop.”
“I could lock you away.”
Her gaze sharpened and he heard the swift intake of Macsen and Vaughn’s breath. Yeah, they felt the shift in the air as well. And it came from the woman nose to nose with him.
“You could.” A slow breath. “You won’t.”
“Why wouldn’t I?”
“Because you don’t want to spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder.” She swallowed and reached out, settling her hand on his cheek. “I know you want to protect me, Jeremy. I get that. I’m not Jo and I’m not Emily. I don’t need it. I spent my life running toward danger. And I will always protect my family. Him looking after Lando and by association Selena, that’s putting my family in danger.”
“Someone’s coming.”
Vaughn and Macsen rose in one fluid motion, each stepping toward the door each taking a side.
“You’re still injured.”
She nodded. “I am. My wrist is probably broken and you fucking me like you did probably wasn’t helpful but I didn’t care. Just like I don’t care now. Give me a fucking weapon and let’s end this shit so I can go home.”
