remedy for her ailing heart.

“Come on,” she urged on a rush of breath. She picked up her pace,

dragging Lenox behind her. Only when they broke through the

perimeter of the forest did she release his hand to yank her shirt over

her head. She tossed a seductive glance over her shoulder and smiled.

“Catch me.”

Lenox growled and lunged toward her. Aya laughed, ducking his

playful attack. She turned and sprinted off, weaving between trees,

bushes, and rocks. He took a swipe at her arm, his fingertips brushing

her bare flesh and sending a wave of erotic chills straight down to her

pussy. The chase ignited a primitive hunger in her. She enjoyed their

occasional game tucked away in the seclusion of the dense forest. Her

nipples hardened, her breasts bouncing with each running stride she

took. Her womb coiled and tightened.

Aya grabbed a young tree trunk and spun out of Lenox’s path. She

turned back to him and snickered. His eyes flashed a prism of colors

in the darkness. His nostrils flared, and his sinful mouth curled into a

devastating grin that made her wet. She unbuttoned her jeans and

shimmied out of them, kicking the bothersome item off her foot.

“You smell like honey and sex, little one, and you know what that

does to me,” Lenox said. His words rumbled off his lips, his voice

raspy with the power of his need. He advanced on her, tugging open

his own jeans. She arched a brow and lowered her gaze to the patch of

dark hairs that became visible.

“You smell like sin and strength, and my mouth is watering to

have you,” she countered with a seductive purr.

“Why don’t we forgo our little wolf-and-rabbit game, hmm?”

Aya shook her head slowly. “What fun’s in that?”

“I have a little gift for you tonight. Chasing you around will only

delay the surprise.”

“Delaying the surprise will only make it that much more special.”

At that, Aya bolted off again, heading deeper into the forest.

Leaves and twigs crunched and cracked under Lenox’s feet. His

masculine scent intoxicated as much as the adrenaline that pumped

through her. The subtle ache between her legs intensified.

Just as she was ready to cut off to the right, Lenox snagged her

around the waist and pulled her off her feet. She cried out, reaching

back for his head to balance her. Liquid heat ravished her neck with

hungry kisses. A deep growl thrummed against her ears, one that

reverberated through his lips and into her very soul. She shuddered.

“That’s right, sweetling.” Lenox’s arm tightened around her waist,

his cock nudging her ass. She crooned, pressing her rear into his hips.

His other hand clamped down on her cheek and kneaded her ass, but

it was her cunt that needed attention. The burning itch made her

squirm in desperation.

“Lenox, touch me,” she whispered, curling her fingers against his

scalp. Her mind whirled in the thickening clouds of desire, and she

whimpered. His hand splayed over her cheek and slid upward,

eliciting a path of tantalizing chills until his fingers rolled over her

breast. He pinched her pert nipple, and her pussy wept with arousal.

His teeth scraped her shoulder, and she all but lost sense of herself.

“
Lenox
.”

“Hush, my little wolf. You’ll be taken care of,” he taunted, rolling

her nipple between his fingers. She moaned, her body slacking against

him.

“I need you to touch me.” She grabbed his hand and tried to pull

him away from her breast, to the apex of her thighs. He stubbornly

resisted. “
Please
.”

“You’re begging?” Lenox eased her back to her feet and turned

her to face him. Her heart skipped, and her mouth dried. Her man was

devastating, but when wild passion ran unleashed inside him, he could

easily overwhelm every sense in her and cause her to short-circuit.

He jutted his chin toward her.

“Show me what you want me to do,” Lenox said. His deepening

tone stroked her inner wolf and aroused her further.

“You want to watch me pleasure myself?” she asked. Lenox

moistened his lips, the dangerous creature flashing in his eyes. Aya

chuckled, cupping her breasts and showcasing them for him. “I

wouldn’t want to torture you like that.”

Lenox rubbed the front of his jeans with even strokes. He still

hadn’t removed his cock, which made her curious.

“You’re not ready,” she concluded with a breathy laugh. “You

still want the chase.”

A challenging shadow crossed Lenox’s face. Aya took one step

back, then another, until she spun and loped off.

“It’ll get better, love,” Lenox called after her.

Her pussy throbbed at his promise. It would get much, much

better. Everything Lenox did, he excelled at. She couldn’t wait to see

what he had in store to quench this painful hunger.

Aya allowed her wolf to take over her body. She soaked in the

night through her wild form. The soothing currents of the river

infiltrated her ears, even a distance away from the shore. More scents

intoxicated her, but none could ease the ache in her womb.

When she leaped over a shallow ditch, paws crunched down

against the ground behind her. She giggled. Lenox finally gave in to

the hunter’s desire. His wolf tracked hers.

Her front paws touched down. Weight pounced on her back. Teeth

clamped down on her scruff. Aya yelped as she was flattened beneath

the heavy wolf…

“Much better, I’ll say.”

She froze, her breaths lost. Her thoughts spun in a dizzying funnel

of disbelief. Teeth loosened from her scruff, and the weight that could

have very well squashed her lifted. She remained splayed out on the

ground. The wolf stepped back.

Finally, she sucked in a breath and reined in her wolf. Once in

human form, she pressed upright and dared to look at the man who

pulsed with strength and power at her back.

“Riley?” She blinked. Her eyes had to be lying. He was lost to

them.

The wolf transformed. In its place was the devilish, rugged, hardpacked, muscled Riley. His arms draped over one knee as he sat back

on his other leg. A mischievous grin held steady over his mouth.

Two weeks had done little to change him. He still had a razorsharp edge in his air. The thrum of power hit her just as hard as it had

before, weakening her resolve to remain in the game of chase. There

wasn’t a hint of stubble on his chin. His hair had grown slightly, and

the amber hues of his eyes seemed…lighter.

He tilted his head and narrowed those captivating eyes on her.

“Christ, woman, you’re a maddening vixen.”

Emotions spun out of control. Anger, frustration, sadness. But of

them all, love overpowered her. She crawled over to him and, with a

trembling hand, reached up to his face. The ends of his wavy hair

brushed the back of her fingers. The firm flesh over his cheek warmed

her palm.

158

“You came back,” she whispered. He circled her wrist with his

fingers and brought her palm to his lips. His gaze drifted down to her

bare breasts, then returned to hers.

“It proved impossible to stay away, especially when you haunted

every damn thought of mine.”

Riley whipped her up and pulled her close, crushing her flush

against him. The wide head of his erect cock slid over her wet slit.

The heady scent of arousal permeated her shock. Riley cupped the

back of her head and pulled her down to him, capturing her mouth in

a deep, desperate kiss that snapped the seams of control. Aya moaned

into his kiss, meeting each plunge of his tongue with her own,

drinking in the masculine taste of him. She rolled her wet pussy over

his cock, the slippery friction against her clit merely teasing the

painful itch Lenox had ignited.

Fingers raked up into her hair and firmly tugged her away from

Riley’s heady kiss. She whimpered, undulating her hips over his until

he stilled her. She found herself gazing up at Lenox, his smile

darkening as she squirmed with explosive need.

“Surprise, little one,” Lenox said. He tugged his penis from his

jeans, and the sight of his engorgement made her mouth water. She

took him in her hand and slowly worked down the velvety shaft. He

was hot and heavy, pulsing with hunger. His tip glistened with

moisture.

“You knew about this?” she wondered. With Lenox’s fingers still

holding fast to her hair and her body arched in such a way that she

was laid out for both men to enjoy, she turned her gaze to Riley. He

had leaned back against a boulder and took to stroking her stomach

with feathery touches.

“I contacted him yesterday,” Riley admitted, his eyes fastened to

the way her body reacted to his touch. Her stomach jolted as his

fingers drifted downward. He paused above the small thatch of curls

and looked up at her. “We discussed things.”

“Oh?” Aya moaned. She wanted Riley to cure the mounting ache

between her thighs while she satiated the need to taste Lenox. With a

gentle tug, she brought his dick closer. His fingers tightened in her

hair as he guided her mouth to his cock. She flicked her tongue out,

drawing the tip over the wide crown. The flavor of his juice tightened

her jaw. “What did you discuss?”

“You,” Lenox grated. Aya circled her tongue around his shaft. His

erection twitched in response, seeping along the slit. She dropped her

hand from the hilt of his penis and cupped the heavy weight of his

balls, rolling them between her fingers. “Damnit. Riley, has she ever

taken you into her mouth?”

A flare of tingles erupted in her pussy when Riley traced around

her clit. “She was too busy taking me into this wet pussy of hers.”

Aya sucked Lenox’s head between her lips, but he tugged her hair,

pulling her away. With a sharp tsk, he released her hair and pointed to

where her hips met Riley’s.

“Riley and I have come to a simple conclusion,” Lenox continued.

He lowered himself to his knees, fisting his jutting cock. Riley lifted

her at the waist and eased her off his lap. Both men steadied her on

her hands and knees. Leaves and moss provided a soft blanket to keep

rocks and sharp twigs from digging into her skin. Her eyes lowered to

Riley’s impressive penis stretching up his stomach. His size and width

had been enough to intimidate her. It sparked a feral need to have him

fill her. She licked her lips. Lenox slid his hand along her spine and

led her head down to Riley’s awaiting cock. “There is to be no

jealousy, especially if you love us both.”

Aya paused. She glanced up at Riley through her lashes. He

smoothed back a wisp of hair from her eyes and nodded once.

“That’s what made leaving so hard, sweetheart. I couldn’t stand to

hear you say those words to me knowing I fought against my own

love toward you.”

Damn, why did they have to bring the past up now? Her mouth

watered for him, her cunt was drenched and ready to be fucked, and

the wounds of her heart were being prodded. “You hurt me that

160

night.”

“Nothing compared to the pain I felt when I saw what I did to

you.” The corner of his mouth twitched. “I promise you I will not

make that mistake again. I’m here now, where Lenox successfully

convinced me I belong. Where
I
know, man and spirit, I belong.”

She inhaled the musky scent of Riley’s arousal while he watched

her with an intensity that sent bullets of lava heat shooting through

her.

“And I love you, Ayasha White.”

Her heart swelled at his rasped confession. If ever there was a man

who could infuse extreme emotions into his voice, it was Riley.

“I love you, too, Riley Tormel. As much as I love Lenox.”

At last, the rift of tension dissipated around them. Lust, and the

fiery desires that coiled deep within her womb, engulfed her once

more. She dipped her head and licked him, slowly drawing her tongue

from the crease between his staff and his sac straight up to the tip of

his crown. He sucked in a sharp breath. Salty sweetness lingered over

her tongue, and she purred with the pleasure of his taste. She followed

the same path once more before she swirled her tongue over his

crown.

Lenox squeezed her ass, spreading her cheeks until a cool breath

of air slid over her nether region. She gently pumped Riley’s cock

with her fist, lapping at the underside of his shaft. He twitched and

seeped beneath her assault, pleasing her as she pleased him. She drew

his wide head into her mouth. She took as much of him as she could.

His crown hit the back of her throat, and she moaned at the taste of

him, the fullness of him in her mouth.

Lenox slid his fingers along the cleft of her ass. They glided with

ease, and in their path, cold moisture lingered that made her cream.

“We’ve agreed to share,” Riley added, his voice strained. Aya
