my clothes from my body. “If you want me to, kitten, I’ll happily join you.” And with that he helps me into the tub before stripping his own clothes and joins me.

“What are we gonna do about Oscar’s body? We can’t call the police, can we?”

“Don’t worry about it, kitten, Ridge is sending someone over to take care of it. We don’t call the police; we handle shit ourselves. You’ll soon learn that the only people you can trust are in your pride.”

Leaning back on his chest, I exhale and release a breath I didn’t realize I was holding, relaxing into his arms. I have a sense of calm and feel absolutely safe here. I know that whatever happens from this point on, Jude will always protect me.

Jude

Holding her here, where I know she’s safe, feels like heaven. And now that I have her here and she’s safe, I’ll never let her go.

Feeling her exhale and relax shows me she feels safe.

Our mate is safe.

I know.

Now can I mark her?

Impatient much?

He just smiles as he saunters off, asshole.

Ray turns to me, murmuring, “You make my panther purr.”

“Oh yeah?”

“Yea, being this close to you makes her happy.”

I no longer resist the pull, instead I lean down and capture her luscious lips with mine. Feeling her twist around, she kisses me back, but with more fire than this afternoon. I can feel the need building inside me when suddenly I feel her slip her hot, wet pussy onto my throbbing cock.

“Fuuuuck… You feel amazing, kitten.”

“Mmmmm so do you…”

What starts out as a slow ride quickly turns to rough and needing. I stand with her still atop my cock and slowly step out from the tub to be sure not to drop her. Without a second thought I take her straight to the bed and toss her down, while quickly dropping down atop her.

She wraps her legs around me, and I slide back in to her warm, slick channel. She feels sensational wrapped around me. I start a slow stroke and savor every single one like it’s my last.

Mark her.

No.

Yes.

Not until she asks.

Pussy.

Prick.

I reach down and wrap my mouth around her beautiful pink rose budded nipple, slowly flicking my tongue across it. Feeling her back bow, I repeat it on the other before kissing my way up her neck to her ears.

“Oh my God, please more. Harder.”

“What’s wrong, kitten?”

“Mark me, Jude. Get rough, fuck me, please.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, I need you to mark me.”

“When I mark you, you must mark me too for the mating to be complete. So are you really sure? Because once marked you’re stuck with me for life.”

“Yes, it's what I want. I want to be with you, in every way. How do I mark you?”

“Let your panther come forward some and let her bite me on my collar as I bite you in the same place. Trust your panther, she knows what to do. And when we’re done, I’ll take you out to fully shift and we’ll go for a run.”

“Yes, okay. I’m ready but fuck me harder as you do it. Please?”

“Anything for you, my queen.” And with that I proceed to fuck her like our lives depend on it. What started out slow and sensual, becomes rough and raw.

Before too long I feel the need building and I’m ready to dive over the edge when I let my panther forward to mark our mate. Just as I strike her collar bone, I feel her fall with me over the edge and strike mine in return.

As I finish, I slowly release my bite and feel my panther back off and walk away, Mine.

Yes. Ours.

She’ll be a good mate. Enjoy.

Don’t worry, I'm gonna enjoy this moment with her. Then you can run.

I roll on to my side and pull her into my arms.

She nestles her head into my chest. “Jude, I love you.”

“I love you too, my gorgeous mate.”

“That was, that was cosmic. Will it always be like that?”

I chuckle, “Yes. That’s the pull of mates. It’s a need that we’re always trying to fill. Not that it’s not satisfying, more like addicting. Does that make sense?”

“It's a craving for me. Like we just finished, and I already want to roll on top and go at it again. I hope that craving never dies.”

Pulling her closer and kissing the top of her head, I whisper, “Me too, kitten. Me too.”

We fall asleep wrapped together like a pretzel, tied and knotted to each other, but are awakened suddenly by a banging on the door and Jax’s loud bark. I jump and immediately grab my 9mm from the bedside table’s drawer.

Looking at Ray, I whisper, “Stay here,” and quietly make my way out of the room and down the stairs, before yelling, “Who is it?”

“Ridge. Open up.”

Walking down, I flip the lock and head back upstairs to throw on some clothes, hollering, “It’s open.”

As I walk into the room, I catch a glimpse of my mate walking into the bathroom and say, “Get dressed, kitten, Ridge’s here.”

She comes out and replies, “Okay, baby.”

We quickly get dressed and head down to talk to Ridge.

Walking down into the kitchen, I hold my mate's hand.

“Ridge, to what do I owe this pleasure? I thought we were gonna meet you down at the clubhouse later?”

“Well I think you’ve had enough excitement for one day. Wanted to stop by and make sure the clean-up went well and let you know that we’re meeting tomorrow,” Ridge replies.

“Okay sounds good, I wanted to take her running tonight anyways, she hasn’t fully shifted yet. Now that this shit storm with that douche knuckle is over, it's safe for her to shift.”

She looks up at my VP, and says, “Thank you, thank you for the job and for helping me.”

“We look out for our own, Sharayah. And you, darlin’, are one of us now. Not only because you’re a shifter, but also because you’re mated to our brother and enforcer,”
