stunned him.
    “Hold…still,” Jaxon shouted,
sitting on her stomach to keep her from bucking him off. Fear strengthened her,
but she was still no match for his greater weight and experience.
    “Get off me,” she
screamed, clawing at his face with talon-like fingers.
    Her struggles forced
him to wrangle her arms to the ground above her head. It left him panting for
breath above her, his face within inches of her gnashing teeth and glaring
golden eyes.
    “Do you yield? Do you
yield to me?” he asked again when she refused to answer, tightening his hands on
her wrists for emphasis.
    Her eyes widened,
terror-filled. “Never!” she said breathlessly through gritted teeth.
     
     

Chapter Two
     
    Why was she so scared
of him? If he didn’t know better, he would have thought she’d never had contact
with the outside world.
    He raked his eyes over
her form, snagging on her chest where her large, soft breasts jiggled with her
heaving breath. She was no child, but a full grown woman. No parent could keep
their child sheltered from the world forever, no matter how much they might
want to. Her smooth, caramel colored skin flushed with a youthful glow and the
exertion of her flight. High cheekbones and hollow cheeks gave her heart shaped
face a look of high born breeding, and her brown flecked, gold eyes framed by
thick, curly lashes were mesmerizing enough that Jaxon had to force himself to
look away from them. He settled on her full, pouty mouth. He felt his belly
contract, focusing on that orifice and imagining what it could do, and averted
his eyes back to her angry gaze. He damned sure didn’t need to entertain any
ideas about fucking her.
    “I mean you no harm!”
he said, his voice rusty through his dry mouth and throat.
    “Liar!” she said,
straining against him with her last reserves of energy.
    He felt her weakening
from her exertion. What fight she had left remained only in her mind. Her body
had given out.He narrowed his eyes, tightening
his thighs around her waist to control her. The fact that he was naked gave him
no pause, but her quick, fevered glance at his body revealed she had not missed
the state of his dress.Tension seeped from her
arms and legs. Her skin sheened with perspiration, tinged with the unmistakable
scent of fear.Jaxon’s nostrils flared. His
mouth tightened into a hard line.
    “Let me go,” she
demanded, quietly seething when he made no move to release her.
    “Will you stop fighting
me?”
    All expression dropped
from her face. She went stiff and still. “Yes,” she said, her tone carefully
controlled.
    The long pause before
she answered made his hackles rise.
    “I don’t know why, but
I don’t believe you,” he said, his voice sarcastic and edged with distrust.
    She blinked rapidly,
her thick black lashes making her golden eyes appear innocent.
    “Don’t even try that
shit on me,” he said. “You could have outrun me if you’d shifted. Why didn’t
you shift? You could have gotten away.”
    She swallowed
convulsively, watching him warily. “I didn’t think about it.”
    He felt a vein throb in
his temple. “Didn’t think about it.”
    “Yes, that’s right. I’m
not used to being chased. Did you hurt my parents?”
    He frowned. “I’m not a
monster. Alpha won’t allow his people to be hurt without cause.”
    “Alpha?”
    Did she know nothing of
pack law and rule? He understood sheltering a child from the harshness of
reality, but this was going a little too far. “Alpha Nicodemus, pack leader of
the Black Wolf Clan.”
    “Oh. Yeah. Can I stand
up now? You’re making it hard to breathe.”
    He watched her a long
moment and finally decided it was safe to allow her some measure of freedom. Hiking
his leg to the other side of her body, he stood, pulling her wrists as he rose
until she stood with him.
    She twisted her arms,
her fingers wiggling as if her hands hurt. “You don’t have to hold me so
tight,” she hissed.
    He bared his teeth in a
smile. “I
