nearest surface to rut. The dais was too far away, but I made it to the wall, pressing my beloved against the hard surface. Her head hit the stone but the lust in her face told me she didn’t care. Her hands roved over my arms and shoulders. Her nails dug into the taut muscle as I held her aloft.
“Ye don’t leave the cave without permission,” I growled. She deserved punishment, but I was too angry to mete it out. I was too angry to do anything but fuck her.
She glared at me and tugged at my shoulders, pressing her lower half closer to mine. My hands found the top of her shift and rent it in two, baring her body to me. The desire to bite into her shoulder, to make her bleed, to hold her by the scruff of the neck and shake her was almost overpowering. But she wasn’t a female wolf who could handle such rough punishment. I would have to settle for fucking our naughty human against the wall, hard.
I hitched one leg up around my hip and thrust inside her.
Her whole body rocked backwards. Her mouth opened in a perfect circle of satisfaction.
I drove into her again and again, steadying her so her head didn’t slam against the wall, but otherwise not holding back. She gripped my forearms and tilted her hips, accepting the punishing thrusts, welcoming them.
“I can barely control myself around ye,” I told her. “You think the pack will hold back? You’d be lucky to survive.”
My hand collared her neck, pressing into the torc, feeling the reassuring coolness of the silver against my palm. She could’ve died today at the hands of the pack. The beast within didn’t know love or gentleness. Even now, I wanted to whip and fuck her into submission.
I’d settle on the latter until I was under control.
I let go of her neck and braced one hand against the wall. The other cradled her head while my hips snapped forward. “Ye will remember who owns you. We are yer masters. And ye will obey us so ye do not come to harm.”
She panted in my ear.
She was enjoying it. Good. I wasn’t going to stop until I’d marked her with my seed. I couldn’t go outside and tear out the eyes of every wolf that’d beheld her, but I could mark her as mine.
I lifted her slightly, driving up into her, trying to plant myself so deep inside her body she’d feel me forever. As I groaned her name, she angled her head and kissed my neck.
The tender act sent a shudder through my body. “Och, lass.”
Her body tightened and she started to convulse. As her orgasm took her, her knees buckled and she sagged against me. Holding her close, I ground into her hips, letting my own pleasure wash over me.
We stayed close like that, my body pinning hers to the wall.
I felt Samuel enter the room before he spoke.
“What’s going on?”
I stepped back, letting her feet touch the ground again.
“I’m teaching our beloved a lesson.” I felt a lot better as I ran my hands down her naked form. Brenna shot a sorrowing look at her torn shift on the floor. We rarely allowed her any clothes, thinking that keeping her naked would reinforce our orders to stay in our quarters, away from the pack. We were right. She’d have to earn the right to clothes again, along with our trust.
Samuel folded his massive arms over his chest. “Wulfgar is out there with Fergus at his feet in wolf form. Siebold is in such a state I sent him to the northern watch. It seems our Brenna caused quite a stir.”
“She left the cave, put herself in danger.”
“Is this true?” Samuel snapped, golden eyes heating as he glared at Brenna.
Our woman nodded, her gaze on the ground. At least she was smart enough not to goad an angry Alpha.
“‘Tis partly my fault,” I offered. “I left her alone for too long.”
“That shouldn’t matter,” Samuel said, and spoke to me over the bond. We can’t keep her in the cave forever.
It’s too dangerous, I protested.
I don’t like it either, but if she’s to remain with us, she needs to learn our ways. It is
