her toes before she could take her next breath. It wrung all the air out from her lungs and she whimpered into the comforter while he continued to pump into her, extending her mindless state of euphoria. His utterings only kept the waves of pleasure rolling through her.
Molly longed for something to claw and mark, to grip while Tate hit her g-spot with every dip of his hips. There was no use keeping track of her thoughts. There was nothing flitting across her mind. It had all slipped away like magic. Another orgasm built in her center, and she cried out from the surprise of its force while he gripped the flesh of her hips, ready to release now. He bit her at the nape of her neck, making her body freeze from head to toe.
“Mine,” he growled out through a thick bite of her flesh beneath his teeth.
“Yes,” she conceded breathily until the orgasm washed over her damp, tender skin and her inner walls clenched tightly around him.
They came together as the world shattered beneath her feet.

Tate
“ U h , let’s get going. You have somewhere to be tonight.”
That was all he had and he spoke despite the fact that his voice was hoarse and he didn’t think he could stand up straight. He wasn’t sure how much longer he could look at Molly with that mark on her neck. It promised to make him hard as granite all over again. They didn’t have time for round two right now, or it could easily turn into round three. What he needed to do was get dressed, get his head back in the game and make sure he had his shit together before they left this room. Clearing his throat, he pried his shaking fingers off her hips and tried to stand. This woman had him so out of control and off his game, he could barely handle it.
He swallowed thickly and shook his head. He needed to get over it in a hurry. Now wasn’t the time or the place. With a little fumbling, he managed to pull his pants back up. It only took him four fucking tries to get the button through the hole. Cracking his knuckles, he picked up Molly’s pants and laid it on the side of the bed.
“I’ve got to take another shower,” she said, sitting up.
“You good?” he asked without making eye contact.
“You’re all sorts of intense right now, Tate.”
“But I never disappoint,” he added.
She sighed longingly. When he glanced over at her she was frowning, brows drawn down low with concern, probably about how to make sense of admitting she was his.
“Um…I’ll wait downstairs.” This was his chance to get the fuck out.

Tate
C hrist , even his riding was taking a hit tonight. Tate sped by a tractor trailer using the lane for opposing traffic. He ended up swerving too hard into the right lane to avoid a collision and almost wiped out. Molly’s arms tightened around his waist, the reminder that he had precious cargo to worry about, not just himself. Normally he could make an illegal pass without thinking about it. It was second nature. But not today. The fact that Molly couldn’t speak over the howl of the wind flying by his bike, well it was a small favor.
They were almost there now, only a couple more minutes that he ticked off in his mind as she continued to grip onto him as if her life depended on it. Because it did.
He just hoped she wouldn’t raise what had happened earlier in the guest room. Ever. This wasn’t the first day he’d wanted to claim her. It had happened before, but this was the first time his beast had pressed up against his chest and squeezed all the air out of his lungs until he agreed.
My bear made me do it.
Yeah, I guess that can work if I’m ever cornered.
I was acting on pure instinct.
Because it was pretty much the truth. It happened because for a couple minutes, he’d blacked out from the wash of primal urges that had taken over his brain and all thought threatened to never relinquish control to his human side. Luckily, he’d gotten a fucking hold of himself, but that mark on Molly’s neck was proof that his
