closed her eyes and let herself drift away. Away from this reality where being a mixie meant you were always in pain, one way or the other. It sucked to be her. It really did.

“Alexa?” Jay knocked on her door for the third time in a row. No one answered. He’d checked the name on the mailbox downstairs and was pretty confident this was indeed her apartment. So why wasn’t she opening the door when she’d been the one calling him in the first place?
She’d sounded out of it on the phone, though. Fear spiked inside him. He grabbed the door handle and was shocked to find it turning under his palm. He pushed, the door sliding open until the security chain stopped him abruptly. A low growl rumbled in his chest. His shoulder propped against the door, he pressed forward. It didn’t take much time before the chain snapped. He fell, righting himself at the very last second. “Alexa?” he called out, louder this time.
The apartment was dark; the only light he could see coming from a room at the other end of the hallway. He closed the door behind him and walked toward the light, whispering her name along the way.
He stepped into what could only be the bedroom and was shocked to a standstill. She was lying on the bed, a sheet lying haphazardly beside her. She was also naked. He stared and stared, unable to stop himself, unable to ignore his body’s demands. His cock hardened inside his jeans. His mouth dried out. It’s only when he noticed her begin to move that he snapped back to the present.
“Alexa, I’m here, honey.” He hurried to the bed and knelt beside her.
She shifted beside him, her eyes opening to find him standing there. “Help me?” she murmured, her hand reaching for him.
“What do you need? God, you’re burning up.” He’d just noticed the sweat beading all over her body. “Hold on, I’ll get you some water.”
“No!” She tried to grab him back, but he’d already moved off the bed.
When he came back, she was struggling to sit up, her arms shaky as she pushed herself up. “Jay?” she said, her voice husky.
“I’m here. Here, drink this first.”
She gulped it all down before letting out a sigh of relief. “Thank you.”
“What’s going on, baby?”
“I don’t know.” She blinked. “The urge is a lot worse than usual. I can’t seem to get away from it. It never stops. She never stops.”
“I see.” She sure looked a lot worse than he’d expected. Her eyes were feverish, her scent stronger than ever before. She was in heat, and she was in pain. Poor darlin’ . “Are you sure you want me to help, Alexa?” He didn’t want to leave, but he also knew he had to give her an out. She’d shot him down the day before, after all, and as the Alpha’s son, he sure as hell wasn’t used to being told no. Come to think of it, no lioness had ever told him no before.
“Please?” She sounded hesitant, but her eyes were fixed on him. “Make it go away. Please.” Her hand shot out and this time, hit pay dirt on the first touch.
Jay hissed as her fingers brushed against his denim-clad erection. “I’ll stay, but Alexa, you need to follow my orders. Do you hear?”
“Whatever you want.” She leaned down to nuzzle his neck. “I’ll do whatever you want, Jay. Please.”
His cock twitched at her words, and just like that, he knew he was a goner.
Chapter Two
Alexa was going out of her mind.
Her skin felt so tight, she wondered for a second whether it wouldn’t crack and burst open. That sure would be a sight to see!
“Relax, honey. I’ll make you feel better.”
“Hurry!” she snapped back, her control slipping. Her lioness had been appeased when she’d scented the male in the room, but the urge was still there, and it was growing by the minute.
“Okay, okay. Let’s get you off first, and we’ll go back to basics the second time around.”
She heard his voice but only realized what he’d meant by that when he forced her
