Bridget’s POV

= Menu

I know he’s leaving on this mission tonight. I understand why-his family, this pack, all of it. None of that makes it easier to watch him gear up for a fight and walk out the door like it’s routine.

I want him back fast. I want to make him swear he’ll be fine even though I know some things are out of his hands.

And it’s not like I doubt him. I’ve watched Ryder train. He has been unreal-pure instinct and precision, the kind of fighter who doesn’t waste movement. It doesn’t hurt that he looks sinful doing it either, shirtless and slick with sweat, correcting stances and teaching people to think instead of just swinging.

Talon is something else entirely. His size should make him lumber.

It doesn’t.

He moves like a shadow with teeth-quiet, hidden, and then suddenly right there.

At least this time I’m not going in blind. We have talked about what the bond is going to do, what I’ll

feel, how it’ll hit me.

And I’m not going.

I mean it. I’m not sneaking after him, not shoving myself into danger again just because I’m stubborn.

I still haven’t really spoken to Lucas or Pierce since I dragged them into that mission with me. Ryder

had punished them, and then they were sent off before I could even say I was sorry. Now I’ve been

assigned my own security detail-men who stick to me like I’m a liability and who don’t take my word

over Ryder’s.

So much for “equal partners.”

But I get it.

Right now I’m a problem with a pulse. A loose cannon, they all think.

Soon I’ll have my abilities under control. Soon I’ll be able to hold an actual conversation with Iron Fang instead of feeling like everyone is waiting for me to explode.

Iron Fang, especially, has not said a damn thing to me. Not a single word. Maybe while Ryder is gone I can finally corner the people I need to talk to and start fixing what I broke.

And I need to check on Evelyn too. I’m still waiting for her to wake up.

But for the moment? I’m in our room.

Ryder has just grabbed his duffle and he is tossing in the last of what he needs. Every zipper, every folded shirt, every stupid little item makes my stomach drop, like each thing is proof he’ll be gone longer than “one night.”

He crosses the room and I feel him before he touches me. His fingers lift my chin, forcing my eyes to his.

“Hey,” he says, voice steady like he can anchor me with it. “I’ll be back before you know it. I can feel

you spiraling. Try not to, okay? If I know you’re here helping run things, I can focus and work smarter. We’ll get it done.”

He picks me up like I weigh nothing. I lock my arms around his neck and hook my legs around his

waist, nodding because if I speak, the fear is going to pour out.

He needs me solid right now.

“I’ve been thinking,” I say anyway, because my brain refuses to stop. “When you marked me, you gave

me some of your power. What if it works both ways? Maybe I should mark you. We already saw you

have gotten some of my speed just from being around me, so… imagine what it could do.”

I’m pleading, and I hate that I’m pleading.

He carries us to the couch and sits, and I settle over him, straddling his lap like I can keep him here

with my body.

“Bridget. No.” His tone isn’t harsh, but it is final. “We are not doing anything else until we talk to the doctor and go through it all. You will be fully informed before you rush into a choice you can’t take

back. I love you. When I’m back-and when that witch is in our cells-we’ll sit down with Dr. Yvette.

Okay?”

“But that doesn’t-”

“Bridget. Please.”

The way he says it cuts me off clean.

Frustration flares hot in my chest. He is holding something back, I can feel it. I let out a hard breath and start to shift off his lap.

“Bridget,” he says immediately. “Look at me.”

I do, but only because he asked.

“Why?” I snap. “It’s whatever you say anyway. Just tell me when I’m allowed to have an opinion.

“Woman.” He exhales like I’m testing his patience on purpose. “There’s so much you’re learning, and so much you still have to learn. I grew up in this life. I’ve heard the stories, the legends, the fables- about you. I don’t know what’s real and what’s bullshit. The right way to start is a full workup with Dr. Yvette, then we talk to the elders. I’m not gambling with you.”

My anger doesn’t vanish, but it softens at the edges.

“Fine,” I say. “For now. But the second you’re back, we’re meeting with Dr. Yvette. I want answers. I

want to finish the mating process. I want to know everything-about me, about us.”

“So do I, babe.” His fingertips trail down my arms, slow and grounding.

For a flicker, Talon surfaces-Ryder’s eyes flash black and then settle again.

“And,” I add, letting a smile curve through my irritation, “we need to give our wolves some time alone

soon.”

I grind down, feeling him harden under me, and I watch his jaw tighten.

“Maybe when you get back,” I murmur. “We let them out first. They deserve it.”

“Yeah,” he breathes, voice roughing out. “Talon is definitely in favor of that.”

His hands clamp onto my ass, dragging me closer until his full erection presses into me with no space

left for pretending.

“Now,” he says, “we’ve got about an hour before I meet the team. What do you want to do?”

I slide my hands down his chest, over hard muscle and heat.

“I’m sure we can come up with something.”

His body reacts instantly. I open his buttons, loving the contrast of his golden-brown skin against the white shirt. He leans back, arms stretched along the sofa like he’s surrendering control to me on

purpose.

I drop my hands to his waist, unbuckling, unzipping. His black boxer briefs are pulled tight, barely containing him. The swollen head is already pushing up at the elastic, shining with pre-cum like it’s impatient.

With both hands, I free him-thick and heavy in my grip, impossibly beautiful.

I stand and help him kick his pants away. His gaze drags over me, slow and hungry, landing on the neckline of my wrap dress like it’s the only thing he can see.

I untie the bow at my left hip, deliberately, and watch his throat flex as the dress parts and slides off

my shoulders. It pools at my feet.

I’m left in matching black lace: a push-up bra and boy shorts.

He looks like he’s trying not to lose it. His fingers twitch, wanting to take.

slip the bra down my arms and turn my back to him, glancing over my shoulder while I unhook it. I

toss it away.

Then I bend slowly, teasing, and drag my soaked boy shorts down over my ass and off my legs.

When I turn back, his chest is rising and falling faster, his focus locked on me like he’s starving.

I climb onto him again, settling over his cock-fully hard, slick with pre-cum, glistening.

Goddess, I want to taste him.

But my body is craving something deeper. Us.

I press my skin to his, and the room narrows to breath and heat. I slide my breasts along his chest, up

his throat, to his mouth.

My nipples have been aching, and the bond makes it worse-tingles sparking through me until I’m

shaking.

He opens his mouth as I cradle his head and push one breast between his lips.

He sucks hard, brutal, like he needs to mark me with his mouth. My name for him breaks out of me in

a moan. His arms circle my waist, holding me as he takes more, over and over.

Then he switches, devouring the other breast like it’s his first time tasting my skin.

“Ryder,” I gasp.

He growls and bites down on my nipple.

The sharp sting hits like a match to gasoline. I hadn’t known I wanted that until he did it. I rock against him, wetness spilling down my thighs, my whole body begging.

I reach back, barely able to wrap one hand around him. He is thick enough that my fingers struggle. My slick coats him as I guide him between my folds, sliding him back and forth, making him harder, making myself frantic.

When I line him up at my entrance, I lean in close and whisper, “I’m so wet for you. Are you ready to

His eyes flash black again-just a blink of Talon-and then Ryder’s mouth curls into a wicked, knowing

smile.

His hands lock on my hips.

And he drives me down onto him in one brutal motion.

“Oh, Goddess!” I cry out as he fills me completely.

He starts thrusting up into me at once, meeting every movement, burying himself deep like he’s

claiming space inside my body.

“Oh Ryder… you feel… so… good,” I manage between broken sounds.

“You’re mine,” he grunts, each thrust punctuating the words. “All of this is mine. Say it.”

I’m beyond pride, beyond fear, beyond anything except him.

“I’m yours,” I shout. “This is yours. Every inch of me is yours, Ryder.”

My walls clamp around him, gripping tighter and tighter, pulling me toward the edge. I stare into his eyes as I ride him, and then something strange starts happening.

My words vanish.

My whole body begins to pulse-like when a limb has fallen asleep and the blood rushes back, except

it’s everywhere, inside every nerve.

My palms press to Ryder’s chest.

They start to glow gold.

He looks down at my hands, then snaps his gaze back to mine.

“I’ve got to fuck you now, baby,” he says, voice turning feral.

He lifts me up without losing himself inside me and carries me to the bed. Every step makes me clench around him, pushing my orgasm higher until I’m shaking.

He lays me down and follows, still inside me, and I still can’t get words to work.

With one hand, he pins my wrists above my head.

“Are you ready, Bridget?” His voice-low, rough, vibrating-drags me closer.

I can’t answer.

“Nod for me.”

I nod, forcing air into my lungs.

He kisses me softly, almost gentle, and then he hooks one of my legs over his shoulder.

The angle changes everything.

He starts thrusting deeper than seems possible, driving into me until the bed shifts with every slam. I moan, finally able to make sound again, my body unraveling.

“That’s it,” he orders. “Let go.”

The command cracks me open.

My orgasm hits like a release of pressure-violent, consuming. Energy surges through me, and I swear

the sheets are soaked.

Before I can even understand it, another orgasm crashes in right behind it.

“Oh my goddess-Ryder!” I scream, fighting against his grip, desperate to touch him, to hold him.

He keeps my hands pinned, eyes dark, breath ragged.

“Damn it, Bridget,” he grunts. “I’m going to come inside you. Right now. Take every drop, baby.”

His thrusts turn erratic, brutal, and the intensity drags a third orgasm out of me. My legs tremble uncontrollably. He releases the leg from his shoulder and drives deep as he comes, spilling into me so

far inside I can feel it coating me.

Then we collapse together, still connected.

My body keeps pulsing, my walls still working around him like they can’t stop, like they don’t want to.

Exhaustion rolls over me, heavy and sweet.

I could sleep for days.

But not if he’s not here.

He rolls to the side, taking me with him, keeping me close.

“That was fucking amazing,” he murmurs against my mouth. “Let’s shower. Maybe I can get you off

one more time.”

He kisses me again.

Then he slides out of me, scoops me up, and carries me toward the bathroom as the sound of running

water fills the room.
