She held her hands over her stomach.“N-no.”
After stepping toward her, I narrowed my dark gaze.“No?”
“I-I’m sorry.I didn’t mean that.What I mean?—”
Before she could get another word out, I picked her up and tossed her over my shoulder with ease, my hand coming down on her ass.“I’ll be back to take care of this … fucking train wreck of a town, but you’re mine tonight.”
CHAPTERTHREE
ZURI
A curvy womanlike me was never supposed to be mated to such a cut and chiseled alpha.All the girls from high school had made sure I knew I’d end up alone or with a lone wolf, never accepting the fact that I was different from them and the other skinny girls in our pack.
And part of me stupidly believed those rumors, even after we had graduated and gotten on with our lives.Their words haunted me every single time I looked in the mirror, no matter how much I tried to love all my imperfections, all those stretch marks, and all that extra weight on my stomach.
But as fate would have it, I was mated to the sexiest, most ruthless alpha in this part of the forest.Nobody dared to mention the name of the cruel, tattooed, pierced man or else there would be consequences.Terrible consequences.
Yet here I was, alone in his bedroom, after he had brought me to his pack in Durnbone with one of his tattooed hands around my throat and the other between my legs, shoving his fingers into my wet pussy.
“Tell me what they said to you,” he said, biting down on my lower lip and thrusting his pierced tongue into my mouth for me to suck.“Tell me fucking everything that you’ve been told about your body.Tell me how you don’t fucking love it, so I know how long I need to keep you here, touching, loving, worshipping every fucking inch of you until you do.”
I couldn’t remember how I had ended up in his bedroom with him touching me like this, but as soon as we had made it to the pack house, he was all over me, and I couldn’t stop it.I didn’t want to stop it either.
My heart raced, and I … I parted my lips, not knowing how to respond.All I had wanted earlier was to do my work as a waitress.I hadn’t thought they’d bully mein frontof Stone.I hadn’t thought he’d come barreling to my rescue, looking for trouble and finding me—his mate—instead.And I sure as hell hadn’t thought that I’d make it back to his pack house, half-naked and sopping wet at the thought of him being inside of me.
“Please,” I whispered, grasping his wrist for him to stop because I was about to come undone already but secretly loving every moment of this pleasure.“It’s okay.I don’t mind,” I said, knowing that if I told him all my truths, he’d lose it.
He was the cruelest alpha here; he had done murderous things to so many different people.Bullies were bullies, but I didn’t want them to die.Maybe I did just a little, but not in the ways that he would kill them.He’d torture them for hours upon hours, and I didn’t want anyone to feel that way.Maybe I was too nice.
“You know who I am, don’t you?”he asked, fingers still furiously pumping into me.He sucked my bottom lip into his mouth and let it go with a pop.
“Yes,” I breathed, my legs starting to shake in pleasure.
“Say my name.”
“I can’t,” I whispered.
I had never spoken it a day in my life.Saying his name was forbidden in my pack.People were punished for it … because everyone thought that speaking the devil alpha’s name would summon him.
And it had come true.
Yesterday, my alpha had spoken his name, and today, he had shown up at the restaurant!
“Say it,” he said.
“Alpha …”
“Alpha?”
“Stone,” I said, my voice just above a whisper.
“And you know I don’t fucking allow that kind of shit to happen to anyone I care about, don’t you?”
His fingers curled around my G-spot, and I grasped his muscular shoulder through his tight gray sweater, my legs shaking uncontrollably.“I know … oh Goddess, please don’t stop.”
He massaged my G-spot with his two fingers as his thumb worked its magic over my clit.
“I’m going to take care of them,” he said, flicking his finger right over my clit and making me come for him.
