He pulled her closer once again and took her lips with his. At first, she didn’t respond, but he soon coaxed a reaction out of her. She let out a soft moan as she kissed him back. A brush of his tongue had her opening her mouth for him. He took full advantage and tasted her, his need for her increasing with each sweep.
With reluctance, he pulled away and looked at Cassidy. He breathed in the scent of her arousal, which made his cock twitch. Her eyes were closed, but she blinked them open. She sucked in a sharp breath. Edensaw knew what she saw. His had to have taken on a muted light. He’d let all the desire he had for her rise to the surface as he’d kissed her. He and his wolf brothers had learned a short time after the shaman had turned them that the glowing only occurred when they were very aroused or angry.
“Y-your eyes,” Cassidy stammered.
“You caused that,” he said in a voice gruff with desire. “Now will you take us to your camping?”
“And if I don’t?”
“We’ll just follow you. You won’t be able to elude us. We can move faster than you and we’ll be able to track you from the scent trail you’ll leave behind.”
Cassidy swallowed. “So in other words, it doesn’t matter if I say no.”
He reached out and ran the backs of his fingers along her cheek. Her skin was soft to the touch. “We mean you no harm, Cassidy. And if you are worried about having to provide food for us, we’ll go hunting to bring back some meat.”
“No hunting,” she said. “There’s enough food for all of us at the campsite. For today, at least.” Cassidy let out a sigh. “Fine. I’ll take you with me, even though I’m not sure why I should be agreeing to this.” She looked at each of them. “I don’t know what I’ll say if we happen to run across other people. Every one of you stands out like a sore thumb with the furs and leather.”
Edensaw gave Cassidy another kiss before he released her wrist and turned to his wolf brothers. He heard Cassidy say under breath, “I must be pretty hard up if two kisses are enough to let a hunk convince me to take him and his buddies with me.”
He bit back a smile at his mate’s hushed words, then spoke to the others. “Don’t leave anything behind. There can’t be any trace of us having been here.”
Edensaw gathered up the furs of his pallet and his weapons as his wolf brothers did the same. Once they were finished, they all turned to Cassidy. He gave her an expectant look.
“Okay,” she said. “Follow me. I think all of you should be able to fit through the hole I made, but it might be a tight squeeze.”
Cassidy walked over to the opposite wall of ice and managed to get herself through the opening headfirst. Edensaw went next. His first attempt proved the passage wasn’t wide enough, even though his mate thought it was. It didn’t take him long to fix that with his spear. After that, each of the others followed until they all stood inside the ice cave.
Edensaw could see the sunlight at the opening and headed straight for it. He heard his wolf brothers following him. Out in the open, he lifted his face to the sun and took a deep breath. He was free, able to roam the land of his people once again.
Cassidy walked past him. “We’d better get going. It’s a bit of a trek to where I’m parked. And whatever you do, if we see anyone, don’t talk to them.”
He then watched her set out across the ice. Edensaw motioned to his wolf brothers and they all followed after his mate into a world they didn’t know too much about.
Chapter Two
Cassidy felt Edensaw’s gaze on her back as she led the way along the glacier. After the two kisses he’d laid on her back in the cave, she was ultra-aware of his presence. Her body still felt strung tight, her libido yet to settle down. For a crazy guy, Edensaw knew how to kiss. His lips against hers were enough to have her pussy wet and aching to be filled.
