right between her breasts, then tapped his own chest. She smiled.
Raising her head, she opened her senses, pinpointing the other males. They’d edged further away from the cabin, still just inside her territory, but some distance from them.
She stood, pulled her shirt over her head and shimmied out of her sweats. “Run with me.”
His gaze traveled over her, and her body tightened and tingled in reaction. Then he frowned and nodded in the direction of the other males, even as he stood and stripped off his jeans.
“We’ll run the opposite way,” she signed, because it was clear to her now she needed the practice. When she made the clearing, Victor following step for step, she looked around and grinned. “Chase me.”
Still in human form, she took off into the trees.
She didn’t hear him follow her for almost a full minute, and she knew it wasn’t because he was giving her a head start. She laughed, knowing he’d hear, and made her way over the uneven ground. Even on two feet, she was faster than a human woman would have been. Her soles were thicker than a human’s, so she could run on the rough soil barefoot and as surefooted as a tiger. This was her territory. She knew every inch of it. So she was a respectable distance ahead when Victor came after her.
She paused long enough to pick up his path, then veered in a new direction. A thrill of excitement with just the barest edge of anxiety bubbled through her blood. She raced between the trees, leading him up a steep hill, then down toward a slow moving river. She didn’t even pause at the water but plunged across to the opposite bank.
As she ran, she listened for his pursuit, calculating his distance when he hit the water. Damn, he was fast. He was catching up a lot quicker than she’d have expected.
She loved that.
With adrenaline pumping through her, she finally understood the lure of the Mate Run, why so many females embraced it. It was exciting and sexy making the man you wanted try to catch you. Especially knowing what fun you’d have when he did.
She didn’t make it easy on him. So she was surprised when he caught her before she’d planned. She squealed in enthusiastic horror as he grabbed her up and swung her around to face him. She was giggling and panting and more than ready to fuck him when he kissed her.
Wrapping her legs around his waist, she dove into the kiss, feeling free and happy. And so, so right.
She kissed her way down his neck, sucking and biting until he shivered. He cupped her butt and squeezed, his muscles tense and hard everywhere she pressed. He felt so hot, tasted so delicious, she had to have him inside her. Wiggling to get his cock into position, she eased down onto him, taking him in with an easy slide of perfect pressure. He supported her as she moved, harder, faster, the excitement of the chase leaving her so ready she came within minutes.
A moment after her orgasm settled, Victor spun to brace one hand on a tree while still supporting her with the other. He thrust up twice and then dropped his head back and came, his jaw clenched tight. She savored the sight of him, his eyes closed, sweat dripping down the sides of his face, his dark hair damp and begging for her touch, his muscles straining.
When he leaned his head forward again and opened his eyes, he looked directly at her. He didn’t have to speak. She saw the intensity of his feelings. A kind of desperate possessiveness filled her, making her cling all the more tightly to him.
“You’re mine,” she said again.
He nodded.
“I’m yours.”
Another nod.
“From now on. I’ve got your back.”
His mouth tilted in a slow, sexy smile, and his eyes grew heavy-lidded. He caressed her back and kissed her in wordless agreement.
She hugged him, settling her face against his neck so she could absorb his essence, now a permanent part of her own. She was so content, so perfectly happy, she took several moments to realize the other males had moved further into
