A one-fuck thing? A punch to her V-card? Not happening.

Was I glad she wanted that with me? Fuck, yes. The question was, if I denied her, would she go to someone else?

No fucking way.

Her eyes were on the thick outline of my dick pressing into my jeans and probably a pre-cum stain that was growing by the minute.

I waited until her gaze met mine again. “I’ve got your taste and scent. My wolf loved satisfying you. So for now, I’m good.”

“But–”

“No,” I repeated, more for my wolf than for her.

She tipped up her chin. “If you’re not going to have sex with me, then take me home.”

She was bare from the waist down. Her pussy was slick and swollen, and she wanted to go home? I wasnevergoing to forget how she came on my tongue. The way she tasted, looked, sounded. Giving my fated mate satisfaction for the first time was one of my life’s goals.

“I promise I won’t tell anyone about Tyler. About what happened. We can forget everything. You don’t have to mind wipe me or whatever.”

“All because I won’t fuck you?”

She shrugged. “Yeah. You make no sense. What guydoesn’twant to have sex? Maybe I’m–”

“You’re not,” I said before she talked bad about herself again. Fuck, was I making her doubt how hot and arousing she was? Was I worse than thoseboys?

FUCK.

“Youdruggedme,” she reminded. “Brought me to a flipping cabin in the woods. Are you going to keep me a prisoner for the rest of my life?”

I frowned at the stupidity of the question. Although if all she saw about kidnapping was on TV shows, then maybe she would draw that conclusion. She wasn’t afraid of me though. I’d just eaten her out, for fuck’s sake.

“Of course not. I just brought you here to…” I trailed off. My reasoning wasn’t all that clear. My wolf instinct drove me to bring her somewhere secluded. Somewhere I could have my way with her. Mark her. But she wasn’t ready for that, and I’d been kidding myself that she was. I wouldn’t take her until she understood completely. Until she wanted me as much as I wanted her… and not just sexually.

She was my mate. I knew she was the one for me. I just needed to get her to see it, too.

“To tie me up and make me come?”

My lips twitched. “Well, yes, that.”

She frowned. “But you aren’t having sex with me. I’m a sure thing, Cody.” She waved her arm around. “No strings attached.” She had the audacity to eye the rope still attached to the headboard. “Or not any longer.”

“You want to… what? Fuck and then I take you home? Is that what you think this is about?”

“Yes. We fuck, and you take me home.”

Holy hell, I messed this up.

“I forget you drugged me and planned to mind wipe me because I saw Tyler turn into a wolf,” she added. “I’ve promised not to tell.”

“This a new bargain, sugar?”

She might be able to bargain with me, especially when I gave her orgasms from the arrangement, but there was no compromise with Rob Wolf. She either got claimed by me, or she got her mind wiped. Period.

She shrugged.

If we had sex, based on her response, she’d be done with me. Not happening. She wanted sex. Wanted my dick, not me.

There was no bargain here. I had to concedeeverything.Except sex. She wasn’t getting it now, not until she knew everything and wanted to be mine. Begged for me to claim her.
