not stupid, and I will never put myself or my pack in any danger, do you understand me?”
    He cupped her cheek, and she sank against him. Her hands held onto the shirt covering his chest. Scorch hadn’t changed since their confrontation.
    “If anything happens to you I would never forgive myself.”
    “I’m sorry about your parents.”
    She gasped. “Thank you. It has been so long I haven’t even processed what the hell is happening to me. One moment they’re there in my life, and the next moment my father warns me to be careful. I can’t do this.”
    Tilting her head back he stared into her face.
    Take care of her. She needs us now more than ever.
    Dropping his head down, he touched her lips with his own. “I will never let anything happen to you or to me.”
    “I can’t lose you as well.”
    “Are you making some sort of declaration?” he asked, teasing.
    “I don’t know what I’m making. I also don’t know how you can be so glib at a time like this.”
    Taking hold of her head, he pressed her palm against his heart. “You feel that?”
    She nodded, wiping away her tears.
    “I’m alive. I’m breathing. My heart is beating, and my cock is getting hard because I want you, Tori. Nothing has changed between us. I still want you, and when all of this goes away I will want you afterwards.”
    “Stay with me tonight,” she said.
    “No, you know what I agreed to.”
    “I don’t care. If something goes wrong and if he knows what I did, then we’re not safe.” Her hands were rubbing up and down his chest becoming more insistent as the seconds passed. “I don’t want to risk being in Chain’s hands with him being my first.” She looked up at him, melting him. “I want you to be my first, Scorch.”
    “What are you asking?” He knew what she was asking, but she had to say it out loud before he even considered taking the next step with her.
    She breathed deeply and looked up at him. “I want you to be my first,” she said. “Scorch, I want you to fuck me.”
    His cock took on a mind of its own as it stared at her. Fuck yeah, he wanted to be her first and last lover. Dropping his head down, he claimed her lips.

Chapter Seven
     
    Scorch’s tongue plundered her mouth, and Victoria moaned as he swept inside meeting her own. She gripped the fabric of his shirt within her fists needing him to take away the ache building inside her. When he left her inside her room she’d not known what to think or to feel. He was the first man to confuse her with his actions without even trying.
    “You’re so beautiful,” he said, breaking the kiss. His hand held the back of her neck holding her in place.
    “You think I’m beautiful?”
    “Yes. No one has made me burn like you do.”
    Her heart soared at his words. No one had ever told her she was beautiful before. Apart from her parents but they didn’t count. Most parents were biased about their children. She had stood looking out of the window knowing in her heart what she wanted. Victoria wanted his arms wrapped around her, forcing all the bad memories away. There was no chance of her getting any peace tonight, not with everything that had happened so far.
    Knowing he was meeting with other pack members didn’t help her nerves. Every second he was away from his pack left him vulnerable. Chain terrified her while Scorch tempted her with so much more.
    “Then I will spend the rest of our lives together telling you how beautiful you are.” His fingers soothed out the tension within her neck. He brought her up close against him. “Now kiss me like you want me.”
    Wrapping her arms around his neck, Victoria kissed him with all the pent up frustration that had been building inside her from their first meeting.
    Opening her lips, she plundered her tongue into his mouth, giving him no chance to pull away. She held on tight never wanting to let go. His hands left her neck and slid down to cup her ass drawing her closer to his body.
    “You’re going to make
