Roman was worried and tried to hide it. Hunter had said there were signs of a struggle, but fortunately, they could see no blood or tire tracks.
It worried them that it could have been a wild animal, but his brother would have smelled it. The most important thing was that Simone’s scent stopped at the forest’s edge. It told them it probably wasn’t the stalker since he was human, or they thought he was. That was another question Roman wanted to find out. He needed to find out for sure he wasn’t a shifter.
They discerned that it had to have been a shifter because if it were a wild animal, there would be blood and their scent. There were no drag marks, which told them whatever it was had carried her.
It was the fact that her scent stopped that scared him. Whoever kidnapped her knew to cover their scents, which made the rescue even harder and sounded more like the work of a shifter. They just didn’t know how he’d done it.
The forest his brother told him she went missing in had thousands of acres of trees, caves, mountains, and rivers. It was going to be next to impossible to find her if the kidnapper didn’t want her found.
“I want you to relax for now. There’s nothing we can do.”
Brenna sniffed. “I’m so afraid for her.”
“I have a feeling she’s going to be fine.” At least he prayed it would be because he knew it would break his mate’s heart if something had happened to her friend. Whatever pain she felt, he did as well.
Roman held her as she slept, and he was able to soothe her when she got restless. He hurriedly slid from under her to grab his ringing phone before it woke her.
He closed the bedroom door behind him before heanswered. “What have you found?”
“Absolutely nothing. Fuck. It’s like she disappeared into thin air. There are no scents, blood, or footprints anywhere, and we’ve looked for miles and on both sides of the road. I have every available wolf out trying to find her.”
Roman ran his hand down his face. “Okay. We have to keep looking.”
“We are.”
“I’ll come out later and help look.”
“Good, the more people we have out here, the better.”
Roman sighed and walked back into the room to find Brenna still asleep, but tears rolled down her face.
He lay down and pulled her into his arms. “Shhh, baby. We’ll find her,” he whispered against her head.
He must have slept because when he opened his eyes, his mate was sitting on top of him with her hand wrapped around his cock.
“Baby, what do you need?”
“I need you, Roman. Please.”
“I’ll take care of you.” He lifted her and let gravity slide her down his cock. “Fuck.”
Her head was thrown back as she started to ride him.
He helped with his hands on her hips. “That’s it, ride me however way you want, pet.” He wasn’t sure she heard him because she continued the same slow glide up and down his cock in only shallow thrusts. It drove him crazy.
“Baby, can you go faster and deeper?”
She hummed but kept up her assault. He doubted she heard him because she was too far into the mating sensations, and it seemed like she didn’t see or hear anything else
He gave her another few minutes before he lost control. He flipped them until she was on her back and him on top of her, doing hard, deep lunges inside her, which brought them to thepinnacle within minutes.
“Come for me, pet.”
Her nails dug into his biceps as her scream filled the room. Her cunt clamped down on his cock, making it nearly impossible to move. When she finally collapsed on the mattress, he took his own pleasure, spurting his seed deep inside her cunt.
He rolled them to the side and kept her tucked tightly against his chest with his cock still embedded in her.
“Have they found her yet?” she asked.
