ETHAN

We arrive at Kane Enterprises in the late evening and immediately retreat to the privacy of our room. I open the door for her, allowing her to enter first before following.

I reach out, wrapping my arms around her waist as I pull her toward me so that her body is flush with mine. Bending my head down, I bury my face in the nook of her neck and breathe deeply as I inhale her scent. The effect soothes and calms me and my wolf.

Ever since we found Scarlet, our anger, anxiety, and jealousy have us feeling restless. Just the thought of Lucien and what he did makes my wolf growl ferociously in my head. We both hate that Lucien touched and kissed our mate, that he saw her bare body, sprawled out to him like a gift.

I can’t wait to get my hands on him. He can’t be allowed to live after everything he did.

Images of Scarlet begin to fill my head, making me tighten my grip on her. There were so many portraits of MY mate in that room, all of them erotic and completely indecent for anyone else to look at.

And that gown that she was wearing, if you can even call it that, showed everything. I could see the silver and leather straps that hung from the bedposts. It wasn’t hard to put the pieces together, and it made my blood feel like molten lava.

My wolf started raging and snarling once more as I struggled to control my thoughts.

“MINE,” I growl lowly into Scarlet’s ear before biting her now fresh mark, causing her to gasp.

I pull away from her and spin her around to face me, sliding my hand around her thighs and lifting her up. She wraps her long, toned legs around my hips as I grab her ass and squeeze.

My lips crash into hers as her arms encircle my neck, holding me pressed up against her. My tongue plunges into her mouth, desperate to taste every inch of her. By the time I’m done with her, there will be no doubt in anyone’s mind that she belongs to me.

I toss her on the bed and rip open her top, leaving it in shreds, exposing her bare breasts to me. Just the sight of them makes me groan as I crawl on top of her and cup them in my hands, groping and caressing them.

I lean down and begin kissing over the soft mounds causing a moan to escape her perfectly luscious lips. My tongue flicks out at one of her pretty pink nipples, and she arches into me, begging for more. I suck it into my mouth as my hand pinches and twists the other one.

She continues to mewl under me as her hands run aggressively through my hair, pulling at it so that I growl. Goddess, I love when she gets rough.

Soon, we are both naked in bed as we are touching, teasing, and pleasuring one another. She moans my name as she reaches her climax, gripping onto me so that her fingernails pierce the skin of my back.

I intend to give her so many orgasms that she can’t remember anyone’s name but mine. Looking down at her, I feel mesmerized by her. My eyes rake over her hungrily. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get enough of her.

“You’re so fucking sexy, angel. And you’re all mine.”

I lean down, leaving a trail of kisses down her neck before sucking on her mark.

“I’m yours. I’ll always be yours,” she murmurs as her eyes roll back into her head.

I continue working her body over, making her writhe and moan my name. The feeling of being inside her is amazing.

“Oh Goddess! Ethan! Don’t stop! Fuck!” she yells as I pick up speed, going in and out, harder and faster until she’s shattering into a million pieces.

I lean forward and kiss her lips sweetly. “Oh angel, I’m just getting started.”

The next morning, light filters into the bedroom where Scarlet is curled up against me, her head resting on my chest. My arm is wrapped around her, and my thumb lightly sweeps back and forth across the smooth skin of her shoulder.

Her leg is wrapped around me, keeping me pinned to the bed, and I can’t help but smile. I love waking up to this gorgeous creature. My mate. I had been ready to give up on finding her. Thank Goddess I discovered her before I married that spoiled, annoying brat Nikki.

I definitely would have regretted that decision.

I kiss my sleeping beauty on the head before I carefully disentangle myself. Once I’m no longer trapped among her limbs, I start the bath and fill it with warm water and soothing oils.

I mind-link for someone to bring up lunch before I head over to Scarlet.

“All right, angel, let’s get you cleaned up,” I say softly as I scoop her up into my arms. She lets out an annoyed groan as she buries her face into my shoulder.

Neither of us was able to get enough of each other last night. We made love repeatedly, on all of the surfaces, in various positions. By the time I was done, she was like jelly, unable to move a bone in her body.

She was exhausted, and we already slept half the day away. I carry her to the bathroom and set her gently into the tub before climbing in behind her.

I carefully begin massaging body wash into her sore and tired muscles, and a contented moan slips through her lips, making my dick twitch against her.

Goddess, this woman doesn’t even have to do anything to turn me on.

My hands glide over her soft, supple skin as I wash her, allowing her to relax against me as I soap her up. Once we are both clean, I get out and dry myself off before grabbing a towel for her.

I wrap the thick fabric around her and lift her into my arms, carrying her back to the bed bridal-style. Helping her to get dressed first, there is a light knock on the door. I slip on my pants before opening it to see that our lunch has been delivered.

One of the omegas carries the tray over to the table that is positioned between the armchairs.

“Good day, Alpha, Luna,” she speaks with a bow of her head, and I nod back to her.

She leaves, and I walk over to Scarlet, lifting her again to carry her over to one of the chairs. “Normally, I would tell you that I can walk, but today I’m not so sure,” she mutters as I place her in the seat.

I smile at her before kissing her forehead. She smiles sleepily up at me before turning to the array of food.

We are just finishing our meal when a familiar voice fills my head. “~Alpha, we just stopped an intruder at the east gates. She says she wants to speak to you and the luna.~”

“~Is she a rogue?~”

“~No sir. She’s a witch.~”
