I smiled, liking that idea. Nothing would make me more proud than to introduce my mate to my brothers.

But right now, I needed to take care of her needs. And they may not all include service from my dick.

I broke the kiss and eased out of her. While I didn’t want to pull out of her tight, hot pussy… ever, I needed to ditch the condom.

“I’ll be right back, sweetness.”

I disposed of the latex barrier, then cracked a bottle of water I’d bought at the front desk and brought it to her.

She sat up, so fucking gorgeous with her glassy eyes and swollen lips, completely uninhibited. Her cheeks were flushed from sex, her nipples hard little points from sucking on them. My whiskers left soft burns on her silky flesh. I couldn’t see the insides of her thighs, but I knew they were there. While my cum was inside the condom in the trash, she was fucking marked.

She drank thirstily, and I kicked myself for not offering it sooner.

“What else do you need, beautiful? Are you hungry? Or do you need something warm to drink?”

She shook her head, her lids drooping. “That was… wow. I’m ready to crash.”

I pulled down the covers and slid into the bed beside her. “Crash away, little girl. I’ll protect you. If you wake up and your pussy needs more attention, I’ll take care of you.”

She rolled up against my chest and let me wrap an arm around her. A leg was tossed over mine, and her pussy pressed into my thigh. Fuck, I was hard again.

Her soft lips found the hollow of my throat, and she kissed it. “Thank you, Colton.”

I kissed the top of her head. It struck me that with all the women I’d satisfied in all the years, I’d never dropped a kiss on any woman’s head. It was an affectionate gesture, not a sexual one.

My arms tightened around her. This one was special. No, more than fucking special. She was perfect. She was mine.

Soon she’d know that, too.

MARINA

I hadno idea what woke me, but I looked around, not remembering where I was. The room was dark, illuminated only through the exterior light that slipped in through the sliver in the curtains. The motel.

It was the hard body I was sprawled upon like a blanket that had everything coming back in a rush. Colton stirred beneath me, his skin almost hot against my chest. His legs stirred, bringing the one I was practically straddling up and against my core. I was sore from earlier, but being with him like this made me eager for round two.

“No. Don’t,” he murmured, his head moving from side to side.

I lifted my head off his chest and looked up at him. I could make out his features, the tenseness of his jaw. I felt the way his body beneath mine went from relaxed in sleep to taut.

“No,” he said again, this time his voice cutting through the stillness of the night.

I ran my hand over him, touching all of him that I could to try and soothe him. “Colton,” I murmured, then repeated it when he didn’t respond.

All at once, he startled, then blinked. “What?” he said, his voice gravelly. His hand, which had been resting on my lower back, stroked up and down, then cupped my butt.

“I think you were having a nightmare.”

With his other hand, he rubbed it over his face. “Sorry.”

I pressed a kiss to his chest, felt his heat, the beating of his heart against my lips. “Want to tell me about it?”

He sighed and was quiet so long, I thought he wouldn’t answer. “Too many deployments. Afghanistan.”

I could only imagine what he saw, the horrors he’d had to face. I’d seen him naked, and he didn’t have a scratch on him. He’d come out whole physically, but emotionally…

“Thank you for your service.”
