cupped her face with both hands and slammed his mouth over hers. He
devoured her. She moaned as their tongues danced. Her finger nails bit into his
scalp as she once again climaxed.
Enough, Zane. Take your taste and let’s claim her. She's ready.
Baxter ended his kiss with Binda, lowering his palms to rub over her
thighs as Zane licked her cream from his hand before he wrapped it around her
jaw and took possession of her lips. Baxter's cock was about to explode, and
watching her kiss his brother wasn't helping. When Zane released her, Baxter moved
from the floor and set her on the couch. He rose to his feet and began to
unlace his pants.
Baxter and Zane, Eilagh and
Becky have been found. We're on our way to the castle now. Please meet us in
the clinic.
"For fuck’s sake!"
Baxter’s hands shook with rage as he refastened his pants. Was it too
much to ask that he have enough time to claim his own damn Desired?
"What's wrong? What did I do?"
He squeezed his eyes shut. Dammit, now Binda thought he was mad at her.
"You, beautiful girl, are perfect. Dimitri just sent through a
telepathic message that Eilagh and Becky have been found. We need to go to the
clinic to wait for them. Hopefully they won't need both of us."
"He asked for us both, Zane."
He glanced down at his precious Desired. They'd been so close. But now
she appeared closed off. She'd brought her knees up to her chest and had
wrapped her arms around them. She looked like a lost child, cold and scared. He
stepped toward her, and she tensed up. Great! Now she was scared of him.
Zane, you care for her. I've
frightened her. Stay with her, and I'll let you know if you're needed. We can’t
completely abandon her when she’s like this.
He glanced from Binda to Zane and winced at the sympathy in his
brother’s gaze. He waited long enough to see him nod before he all but ran from
the room to the clinic where he'd been spending way too much of his time
lately.
He first went to the lab next to the clinic. There was a one way mirror
between the two rooms so he could keep an eye on patients without stressing them
out. Carina looked to be the same as earlier, unconscious on the bed, with Skye
her ever present guard sitting beside her. All six of their men were in the
room with them.
Baxter was still on edge. The arousal that had been coursing through his
veins had turned to rage. Taking a deep breath he focused on calming himself.
He was the head healer of the clan. It couldn't be helped. It certainly wasn't
the fault of the females that they had been kidnapped and injured. He took
several deep breaths as he pressed his palms against the cold metal table top.
Binda would need to know what she was getting into with him and Zane.
They were both healers. If something major happened to the clan, they would
both be required to leave her. Baxter was certain Dimitri, their leader, would
assign guards for her if that ever happened. Dimitri would never risk leaving a
female unprotected. But the idea still soured Baxter’s stomach. He was the
eldest, and it should be him that kept their Desired safe.
He scrubbed his face with both hands, and he prayed to the Goddess that
Binda would agree to bond with them. From what he'd learned in his training to
become a healer, they possibly only had weeks before insanity took them. If
that happened, they'd both need to be killed before they began rampaging.
Leaving the clan with no healers...
Dimitri's voice broke off his spiraling thoughts.
Drake is bringing Becky to
the clinic. Eilagh is uninjured.
Straightening his spine and clearing his mind, Baxter left the lab to
meet Drake in the clinic.
Chapter Two
Blinking away tears Binda watched Baxter storm from the room. The
rejection cut deep into her soul. How could he be so attentive and loving, but then
like a switch was flicked, he went cold and started cursing?
"Binda?"
Zane tentatively
stepped toward her. Even though he still wore his pants, she could see he'd
lost his
