“But…”
“No.” He nipped at her lush lips and then met her glassy gaze again, “Not here. Not now. Not like this. I’ve waited too long for you and you’re not making that decision in the heat of themoment.”
He could take her without biting her. He hoped. He would have to control his wolf and the bastard that lived inside of him was snapping at the chance to sink his teeth into her. But Rafe wouldn’t let him. Not now. Not yet. He didn’t trust his wolf not to hurther.
More than that, he didn’t trust her to make the decision with the heat bearing down on them. She’d said all of this was crazy. He knew it was. Fast and crazy and out of control, and he couldn’t let his wolf near her. Not likethat.
When he bit her, when he marked her and gave her a wolf of her own, made her like him and sealed the bond, it wouldn’t be in the heat of themoment.
He would take her. Claim her with his human half. But he wouldn’t bite her. Not tonight. He could control his wolf. He could keep himself reined in. He could and he would. It had been a long time since he’d been on the same page as his wolf but on this, they would have to agree and he would have towin.
Because she was his world now and he wouldn’t let anything hurther.
“Rafe…”
“We have to get out of here.” He reminded her when he realized they were still rubbing against each other, scenting one another, marking each other the only way they could, with their scents. “Before they come forme.”
Zoey nodded quickly, “Michael wants to stopthis.”
“Michael doesn’t get to decide this.” He growled. “You decide. Do you want this? Me? Do you trust that fate got itright?”
She met his eyes. Those beautiful blue-green and gold-flecked eyes weren’t glassy anymore. They were steady and full of heat and desire. And something else, something that looked liketrust.
“Yes.” She answered withouthesitation.
