He's fighting me like a wild thing, all sharp blows and desperate strength. "Stop!" he yells in my face as I squeeze his wrist hard enough to make the bones creak. For a moment, I think he's going to punch me in the face again, but instead, he socks me in the gut.

I wheeze, the air rushing out of my lungs, but it's not enough to stop me. I may not be as agile as he is, but I've got size and strength on my side. I grab his other arm, twisting both of them behind his back as I spin him around. In one fluid motion, I slam him face down across the control panel.

Raven writhes against me with a snarl I've never heard from him before, all animal rage and desperation. But I manage to pin him under my bulk, using my weight to keep him trapped. His lean body is no match for my broader frame as I press down on him.

"Let me go, you fucking brute!" he snarls, bucking beneath me.

"Not until you calm the fuck down," I growl in his ear.

He tries to headbutt me, but I see it coming. I grab a fistful of that golden hair, wrenching his head back. He gives a sharp gasp of pain in the millisecond it takes him to twist and sink his teeth into my forearm.

"Son of a fucking bitch!" I roar, shoving my arm further into his mouth until I feel his jaw pop. He has no choice but to stop biting me, and the moment he does, I shove him back down onto the control panel and bear my full weight down on him, crushing him against the buttons and levers. Every time he squirms and arches beneath me, I press down harder until his breath comes in ragged gasps, hot against my arm where he bit me.

"What the fuck was that?" I snap at him.

But before he can answer me, a deafening screech of metal fills the compartment. Like nails on a chalkboard amplified a thousandfold. I risk a glance up and my blood runs cold.

The monster's massive metal claws are tearing through Betty's armor like she's made of tinfoil.

Shit.

Shit.

Shit!

I've spent years restoring this tank, pouring my blood, sweat, and tears into every inch of her. And now this overgrown science experiment is ripping her apart like a goddamn can opener.

Raven thrashes beneath me, still trying to break free. I fuckinghatethat his ass is grinding against my dick. And I can't risk getting him into a less intimatehold without snapping his fucking neck.

"Let me go!" he yells, his voice muffled against the control panel as I press his cheek into the buttons that control the radio. "I can stop him!"

"The hell you can!" I shift my weight to keep him pinned beneath my bulk as I grab Betty's throttle with the hand that isn't pinning Raven down by the back of his neck like I'm scruffing a rabid feral cat.

Another screech of metal and sunlight floods the interior of the tank, drowning out the guitar solo now blasting from the speakers, courtesy of Raven's face mashing the buttons. I look up to see the monster staring down at us through the newly created hole, his glowing blue eyes burning with feral rage behind what's left of the iron mask. It's clear he's human, however fucked up he is.

You and me both, motherfucker.

I don't know why I'm feeling a pang of sympathy for this thing. Maybe because if he is from one of those Vrissian labs, his life's been hell, and there isn't just rage in that icy stare.

There's pain, too.

Agony, even.

"Don't do this," I grit out through my teeth, my gaze locking with the huge alpha's as he looms over us. "I don't want to have to blow your fuckin' head off."

"I do," Raven hisses beneath me, his hips jutting up like he's trying to crush my balls with his ass.

The alpha roars in response.

"Shit," I grit out, slamming the throttle forward. Betty lurches into motion. The sudden movement throws the huge alpha off balance. The claws on his metal hand scrape along Betty's hull as we start to pull away, the sound setting my teeth on edge.

But he's not giving up that easily. I hear the heavy thud of his iron boots as he starts to run after us. Holy fuck, I didn't even know hecouldrun, as big and unwieldy as he is.

"You're going the wrong way!" Raven shouts, twisting his head to glare at me with a furious blue eye. "The tower's back there!"

"In case you hadn't noticed," I growl, ducking as another swipe of those metal claws comes dangerously close to taking my head off, "we've got bigger problems right now."

Raven bucks against me again, and this time he manages to get one arm free. He immediately starts clawing at my face, his nails raking across my cheek.
