“Yeah.” I moaned again, dragging my fingers through the slickness over my clit. It was my release and his—evidence that he hadn’t been nearly as pissed off a few minutes earlier.
“Fuck,”he said again, more viciously.
“Just call Jake,” I whispered, and the man legitimately roared. Like an actual animal.
He was on the bed with me a heartbeat later, his hands shoving my thighs open as he glared at me. “If Jakeevertouches you, I will remove his head from his body and set it on the nightstand so he can watch me claim you from the fucking grave,” Hunter snarled—and drove into me hard. “Understand?”
“Yeah,” I choked out, need and relief melding as he finally gave me what I needed.
Hunter’s hands were rough as he slammed into me again and again, his thumb rocking against my clit.
I came fast, with a cry of pleasure, and Hunter roared again as he lost it too.
The base of his cock thickened just inside me, holding us together as insane pleasure overwhelmed me.
The sex with Hunter had been incredible, but this was something else entirely. Something magic. Something otherworldly.
We were both struggling to breathe when his knot softened, our eyes glassy.
“Wow,” I mumbled.
He didn’t respond—heat was already kicking back in again.
And again.
And again.
When it finally ended, the sun was rising and we both collapsed on the mattress, boneless.
I closed my eyes.
Hunter’s feet were quiet on the rug and tile as he left me in bed. The shower started, and I let out a slow breath.
We were mated.
Permanently.
Shit.
I didn’t thinkI’d manage to sleep given the immensity of what we’d just done, but I crashed. Hard.
I had no idea how much time had passed when I woke up with my upper body draped over my Jeep’s low, center console. The vehicle was definitely running, and because no music played, I could clearly hear tires on the road.
Shoving hair off my face, I slowly lifted myself into a seated position, wincing at the aches and pains that followed.
Thank goodness for fast healing, becauseouch.
I rubbed my eyes, battling the blurriness as I tried to figure out where I was.
Hunter was definitely in the driver’s seat. There were buildings around us.
My vision finally cleared, and I read a sign over the top of one. It didn’t take long to realize where we were.
Greenview.
I’d never been to Greenview before, but Nova had mentioned Hunter having a place there.
The snow on the ground was really thick, and the forest around us looked wilder than the one back in Crimson River.
