lightly dragging his teeth over my skin. “Do you know what’ll happen if you
let me have my way with you?”
I swallowed and nodded, mindful of how close his incisors were to my
throat. “You’ll ruin me forever? No man will ever measure up?”
And though I knew it was the painful truth, I’d trade my future sex life
for one night with Jaxson.
A throaty laugh rumbled from his throat, and he gazed down at me with a
sinfully delicious look. “Oh, baby, you have no idea.”
His whiskey voice lit up every nerve ending in my already sensitive body,
but I was pinned to the tree, locked in place by his presence.
“And if another man were to touch you,” he continued, lowering his head
again and brushing his lips across mine, “I’d rip his heart out.”
Old Savannah would have kicked Jaxson in the balls, but current
Savannah was eating up his domineering possessiveness.
As I leaned forward and pressed my mouth to his, he released me and
took a step back. “We should get back to the revel before things get out of
hand.”
His voice was strained, and his fists clenched, but I could sense his desire
as strongly as my own. Why was he fighting this?
“Then go back. I’m going for a swim.” I pushed off the tree and began
marching toward the body of water that I could somehow smell. These wolf
senses were more useful than I’d imagined.
“What are you talking about?” Jaxson demanded as he stalked through
the dark woods behind me.
“My wolf wants to swim.”
Liar, she said. I hate swimming.
I wound through the trees, following the crisp, fresh scent, until it grew so
strong, I could almost taste it. I pushed through a bush and smiled. A large
pool of water was set among the forest, surrounded by a neatly manicured
lawn.
