going through. You can be a bit of a
bulldozer sometimes.” When her eyes darkened, he quickly continued. “A very sexy
bulldozer. Listen, Paz is strong. You know that.”
“We left her with that Adam guy.” Guilt and anger threaded her words.
“That Adam guy is her mate.”

Savannah Stuart
She crossed her arms over her chest. “I don’t care. What if he finds out what she
is?”
“It won’t matter. He’ll die protecting her.”
“How do you know that? What if he hates faeries? We don’t know anything about
him.” She leaned forward and grabbed his hand.
Now that she was touching him, he knew he was almost out of the doghouse.
“Even if he does hate them, he won’t harm her. I sensed how much he cares for her. He
might not even realize it yet, but that wolf is over the moon for your sister. Remember
how much you loathed me when we first met?” When they’d first met, she hadn’t
known he was an undercover DEA agent. She’d thought he was a bottom-dwelling
arms dealer.
“Yes.” She sniffed in that haughty manner of hers that made his cock stand at
attention.
“You still protected me when I almost lost control in that club. It’s what real mates
do. I know the lengths I’d go to save you and it’s true with every mated male in my
family. It’s biology, baby. He will not hurt her. And right now, my only concern is
keeping you safe.”
She pushed up from her chair and sauntered toward the rail lining the porch. He bit
back a groan as he watched the soft sway of her hips. With her back to him, she leaned
forward on the railing, but he could tell he was almost forgiven.
He crept behind her and slid his arms around her waist. She didn’t fight him so he
pulled her tighter against his chest. His erection pressed insistently against her
backside, but he doubted she was surprised.
When she didn’t say anything, he brushed her hair to one side and nibbled at her
earlobe. Her sweet scent nearly bowled him over. Sometimes he couldn’t believe he’d
finally found his mate. And she was a constant fireball of passion.
As he started to spread kisses across her neck, she twisted to face him. “I shouldn’t
let you off the hook so easily,” she murmured.

Power Unleashed
The scent of her desire was unmistakable. “You want me as bad as I want you.”
She bit her bottom lip and he could tell she was fighting a smile. Instead of
responding, she grabbed the bottom of his shirt and started tugging upward.
His entire body tensed with anticipation. Didn’t matter how many times he’d had
her, she was an addiction. After he finished shrugging out of his shirt, he gripped her
hips and lifted her onto the railing. The rental properties on either side of them were
empty and he couldn’t scent anyone else along the deserted stretch of beach. She let out
a little squeal when he pushed her short summer dress up to her waist.
“I thought I told you to stop wearing panties.” He frowned at the red material
covering her pussy.
“It does you good to work for it a little.” She grinned as she grappled with his belt.
Today was going to be fast and hard. He could feel it. Pent-up energy buzzed
through both of them. They’d barely said two words to each other on the drive up and
he was tired of fighting with her.
As she worked on his pants, he plucked the tie at the back of her neck and let
gravity do its job with the straps to her halter. He loved it when she wore the sexy
halter-style dresses. Easier access for him and she knew it.
The muscles in his stomach tensed as he stared at her. He stepped out of his pants
as they fell, but all his attention was on her perfect light brown nipples. He’d kissed and
licked them so many times, he had all her curves memorized. And seeing any part of
her bared got him hot every time.
“You gonna stand there staring all day?” Her question jerked him into action.
Her sweet, exotic scent surrounded him as he leaned down
