Free Erotica- Forever His/ Spanking by Skylar Faye

hardened nipples.
    It was all he could do not to pull her to him and latch his mouth onto… Disgusted with himself and his fading lack of control, he frowned at her. Then he climbed off the bed. “I’ve got to go.”
    “Go where?” She scrambled off the bed, too, and stepped next to him. “Did I do something wrong?”
    “Yes. No.” He scooped up his clothes and headed for the bathroom. He didn’t like the flash of hurt he’d seen on her face when he looked up. This wasn’t her fault. “I have some thinking to do. Alone.”
    “Okkkay.” She sounded confused, but she couldn’t be any more than he was.
    “I’m going back to the line shack for another day or so.” He closed the door and stood there staring at himself in the mirror. He barely recognized the man in the reflection. His face needed shaving, but he’d been in too big a hurry to find Teri to clean up properly before he’d driven into town. His hair needed cutting. But it was his eyes that bothered him most. They held the wild look they got when he was desperate to change. The beast in him was so near the surface. He needed to get out of here. Now. Before he hurt her.
    “I’m worried about you, Seth.”
    Her quiet voice pulled at him, warmed him, made his dick harden all over again. He wanted to toss her on the bed, get her on all fours once more, drive into.…
    He ground his jaw and fought down his needs, cursed under his breath. He jerked on his clothes. Distance. If he didn’t put some distance between them, he wasn’t sure he could restrain the brute much longer. He couldn’t remember ever feeling so desperate to take a woman.
    When he stepped closer to the door, he sensed her standing on the other side. He smelled her scent…along with the scent of their lovemaking. His wolf nearly lost it. Take her again. Make her yours. Want. Need. Must have. It was becoming harder with each passing second to fight against his desires. Mine. She belongs to me.
    He shook off that thought. She didn’t belong to him. Couldn’t. He was little more than an animal. She was human, delicate, fragile. Wrong for a man—a barely tamed wolf at times—like him. Yet he yanked the door open, snarling, “You will not leave while I am gone. Do you understand me? You will not leave.”
    She blinked up at him, startled. “No, but…” She straightened her small shoulders, raised her chin in challenge. “I won’t leave until you get back and we can talk. But I really should be moving on. I’ve stayed too long here already.”
    His body tightened in annoyance. He didn’t have the strength to argue about this now. He had to get out of here. But her words were like a knife to the gut. “Do you want to leave?” Not that he would let her, not if he decided she really was his one true life mate, no matter how wrong it was. This was when he missed his pack. His friends who would understand what he was suffering and help him through this.
    “Not necessarily, but…”
    Relief swirled through him as her words trailed off and pulled him from his troubled musings. “We’ll talk in a day or so.”
    He buttoned his work shirt and tucked it in his jeans, zipping up and then glancing toward the bed where his belt lie on the floor next to it. The belt he’d used on Teri’s bottom. For no good reason, yet she’d let him do it. Why? She could have refused him. It pleased him that she hadn’t. Again, he felt an overwhelming need to claim her as his woman, even though he knew she couldn’t be.
    Unable to stop himself, he clamped his hands on her bare shoulders and held her in place as he leaned down to kiss her. He needed the touch of her lips against his more than he needed another breath. She didn’t resist him at all. He kissed her with such heat, such desperation that he feared letting the beast out. When he heard his low growl, he released her abruptly and strode briskly from the room.
