dark and primal inside him urging him to strip her naked and mount her then and there.
Make her his again.
Savage possession surged through his blood. His hands tightened, holding her head still, and he crushed his mouth to hers, needing— demanding —a response.
Her hands left his waist and slid up his back, her fingers curling, digging into muscles hard with tension. Sully groaned and canted his hips, deliberately letting her feel his arousal against her belly.
He kissed a path over the line of Olivia’s jaw and lingered beneath her ear. Then he mouthed his way down her throat. She sighed and tilted her head farther to the side. Bringing her hands up, she tangled her fingers in his hair. She shimmied her hips, rubbing against him.
Fire streaked through him. Sully groaned and moved his hands to her hips to hold her in place. God, she felt so good. So right.
Forcing himself to once again slow down, he moved his lips to her jaw, then down her neck to the curve where neck met shoulder. He rested his lips against the pulse pounding there.
Life thrummed beneath his tongue. Lust roared through him, drawing his wolf closer to the surface. With a low growl, he jerked, rocking his erection against her, and set his teeth into her flesh—not hard enough to break the skin, but enough to send the message.
She belonged to him.
“Sully…” Olivia’s voice rasped in his ear, her hands sliding down to his biceps in a fierce grip.
He went back to her mouth. He slid his tongue over her bottom lip, then bit down lightly, eliciting another moanfrom her. He slanted his mouth over hers once more, nipping and licking and sucking until she cried out and clasped his head, holding his face to hers. Her tongue twisted around his, surging into his mouth when he retreated. He sucked on it, drawing her deeper, making them both groan.
“Jaysus.” Declan’s voice came from behind him. “Get a room.” He gave a low grunt. “Unless you plan to charge admission to this show you’re puttin’ on for everyone.” There was a slight pause, then he said in a musing tone, “Hmm. Might not be a bad idea, that. Could help pay for your board.”
Drawing slowly back, Sully ignored his friend and rested his forehead against hers. “Olivia, what you do to me…”
“Yeah. I know what you mean.” Olivia rolled her forehead back and forth on his, then put her hands on his chest and gave him a gentle push. “But Declan’s right, this isn’t the place.” Her eyes darkened, and her lips bowed into a sad frown. “Or the time.”
His erection, which had deflated at Declan’s ill-timed interruption, drooped even more at her change in attitude. “Hey, none of that now.” Sully curled his fingers around her nape and gave her a little shake. “You won’t help your daughter by trying to cut off your feelings.” He turned and looked at Declan. “We’ve work to do. Let’s go.”
The ride back down the mountain was accomplished amid explanations and apologies—the latter from Olivia. Once they’d reached Declan’s house, they gathered in the cozy living room, where Olivia told them more of her story.
“Eddy moved in next door to me just over three years ago, and ingratiated himself with Zoe right away. Andme,” she admitted, staring down at her fingers twisting in her lap. “I didn’t see the danger until it was too late.”
“But why did he bite you?” Pelicia sat beside her and held out a cup of coffee.
Olivia took it from her with a sigh. “Apparently he saw me in a kickboxing class I teach twice a week, in the evenings after work.” She glanced around the room, gaze skittering past the sympathy she saw in the others’ eyes. “He followed me, found out where I lived, and took an apartment next door. And once he found out what my last name was”—she shrugged and brought the coffee to her lips, taking a careful sip of the steaming brew—“he saw, he wanted, he took.”
“And that last name would be…”
