pillows.
     
    “What?”
     
    “Nothing.” She didn’t look at him. He grasped her chin in his fingers and turned her face so he could look her in the eyes. “What is it, Gio?”
     
    “Nothing.”
     
    He heard fear in her voice instead of annoyance. What was she scared of? Why had she turned jittery all of a sudden? He didn’t ask again. Instead he just continued to touch her, stroke her. Her breathing returned to normal.
     
    Every time he stroked her, blood rushed to his penis. It jumped and pulsed until it was erect again. He tapped her twice, then dipped down for a kiss. It was time for round two.
     
    He pulled her face to his. He wanted to brand the taste of her into his mind. He would take this slow, savor her feel, her taste. Everything.
     
    Her breasts felt familiar in his hands. He bent and kissed them, then turned up to her face. She was watching him.
     
    “I want you to ride me. Hard.” He reached up and released her wrists then moved down and let her legs loose.
     
    She sucked in a breath and bit her lip, then nodded. They both moved as she rolled on top of him.
     
    He was more than surprised when she lowered her head and lightly bit his left nipple. Flashes of pleasure and pain shot through him. She moved to his other nipple, and his cock jumped when she bit him.
     
    He grabbed her hips and pulled her down on his hard cock. It slid straight inside. Her swollen flesh made her tighter. He gritted his teeth to hold back the almost immediate need to grab her hips and slam her onto him.
     
    “Don’t move,” he told her as he tried to regain a bit of his control.
     
    “No.” She pumped her hips, taking him inside again and again. It felt like she was slamming her entire weight onto him. He bit his lip and tried to hold back.
     
    “Gio,” he moaned.
     
    The muscles of her pussy tightened on him as she lifted herself up, and he lost his slight hold on his control. He grabbed her by the hips and raised her up, then slammed her down. It didn’t take long for him to feel his release coming on.
     
    Jason reached between them and stroked her swollen clit. When his release slammed into him, he pinched her sensitive nub and felt her shatter.
     
    It took several minutes for the room to come back into focus. When he lifted his head, he found her lying next to him, her breathing low and constant. She had to be wiped out.
     
    Jason slid off the bed and into his chair. He made quick work of getting a towel and cleaning them both up and then pulled himself back onto the bed.
     
    He wasn’t sure when Dane was going to make his move. Maybe he would have another chance to make love to her? Hell, he hoped so.

    The sound of the alarms going off woke Jason with a start. There wasn’t time to go check to see where they were. He cradled his head and rolled off the bed. The slap against the hard floor was enough to knock any lingering sleep from him.
     
    “Jason?”
     
    “They’re here. We need to get ready.” He rolled his shoulders to relax. He saw her yank on some lacy scrap over her hips, then pull on some jeans. “I hope you know those little things are toast after this is over.”
     
    “You’ll have to catch me first,” she told him as she blew him a kiss.
     
    His chest swelled with pride. Lots of women would have been quivering in a corner, but not Gio. She pulled on his sweatshirt then looked at him expectantly. He winked at her, then concentrated and wolfed out. He sent a burst of power out with the transformation. It had been a few years since he’d tried to force a change. He doubted Dane’s stronger lackeys would be affected, but it might just give Gio and him better odds.
     
    “What was that?” Gio put a hand to her chest and took several deep breaths.
     
    “One of the benefits of being pack Alpha is you can force the change. Anyone in the house should have changed into his or her wolf form.” That was the kind of power Dane lacked. It wasn’t that he
