“I’m so sorry, Blake.”
He cupped her cheeks. “Everything will be okay, mate. Let’s get back home.”
She sniffed and nodded before he bent and picked her up in his arms.
“I can walk,” she said.
“I may not let you out of my arms for a while. I’ve never been so scared in my life.”
She stuck her face against his neck and held onto him. He just wanted to get her back home as quickly as possible because the urge to mate was overwhelming, but he didn’t want to take her out where others could see her.
They returned within ten minutes, and he walked them down the cave to their living area and into their bedroom. He dropped the phone Hunter had given him, pulled off her clothes, and put her on her hands and knees.
“I’m going to take you hard, mate.”
She whimpered and nodded. “Yes.”
He knew she needed it as much as he did. They needed to solidify their bond and the fact he could have lost her. Fuck, just the thought made him sick.
He lined up his cock, gripped her hips, and slammed into her making her scream. He didn’t wait for her to settle and just started riding her, thrusting into her with a speed and force he’d never used before. He didn’t worry about hurting her because he would sense it if he was too rough.
It seemed to be forever when he knew they were both close to coming.
“That’s it, mate. Come for me.”
He saw her grip the blanket under her as her cunt tightened unbearably around his cock and then started to spasm.
“Fuck, yeah. Come.”
Her cries bounced off the walls and mixed with his groans filling the area with sounds of satisfaction. After they both settled, she collapsed under him, dragging him down with her.
It took two more intense lovemaking sessions that day before he was able to take a deep breath and relax.
It would take a while for him to get the picture of Jacob ready to lunge at her out of his mind. He could have killed her so easily, and it would have driven him mad. He wouldn’t have survived it.
The rest of the day and night, he pampered her by feeding her and holding her. He never let her out of bed until the next morning. Even then, he had to force himself to release her.
Chapter Nine
Simone held the phone up to her ear and waited.
“Hello.”
The male voice was deep and growly.
“Hello. Do you have Brenna or Nicole there?”
“You must be Simone,” the man said.
“Yes.”
Simone heard a screeching sound and then wrestling.
The voice said, “You’ll pay for that, mate.”
She heard Brenna laugh and then whisper something to the man.
“Hey,” Brenna said.
