Turner (White Wolf Ridge 1)

“I’ll buy you hundreds more for me to shred,” I promise before plundering her womb in and out, hooking the backs of her knees over my arms as I kneel and punish her pussy. “I’ll never get enough,” I grunt, causing her to splinter and come hard, shaking wildly as I fill her up again with every fucking drop.

It takes another hour to get ourselves under control enough to leave the hotel. We grab our things from the room because we don’t plan to return. Soon, I’ll have her in our home, filling her womb in every damn room in the house until neither of us can walk. Fuck, I can barely manage it now. Maybe she’s right; I should have eaten more than a meager meal and her pussy. We step out of the room and make it down to the valet to get my truck without me pulling her back inside. Waiting outside with my queen’s hand in mine, I breathe in the chilly air and smile. I’m a happy son of a bitch.

My SUV pulls up and the guy steps out, nodding to me before nodding respectfully to my mate. I hand him a tip. I can tell he’s a shifter too, and young. “Come on. We have to go to your apartment and at the very least pack your clothes, mate.” I kiss her cheek and then open the passenger door when I really want to slam her against the SUV and bang her fucking brains out again. This lust has me in a haze.

“I’ll drive,” she says, walking away from the open door. “You don’t know where I live. So please don’t argue. Also, we need to find your Beta.”

“Shit. That’s the second time I forgot to contact him.” Taking her sunglasses from the bag Cat gave her, Maria slips them over her gorgeous eyes. She switches gears and pulls out like a professional driver. Fuck, she looks hot with all that confidence that pours from her. Shaking my head, I finally remember what I need to do, and I say, “Call Mark.”

“Calling Mark,” the car says back.

“Oh my goodness. I forgot about my brand-new, many-monthly-payments-to-go Chevy Silverado.”

“We can have him bring it back, and I’ll have it paid off by the end of the week. Just make sure to remind me.”

It rings twice, and he answers. “Hey, you remembered about me!”

“Yeah, well, when you find your mate, you can take a day or two off. Where are you?”

“At your mate’s apartment, hanging out with her roommate. He seems like a cool guy.” Mark’s a much calmer being than me, which makes him a great Beta. He’s tough when he needs to be but usually has a calm, cool demeanor and gets along with everyone.

“We’re almost there,” I snarl, hating that he’s fraternizing with the man who lives with my mate. It’s stupid, but I feel the beast in me tense up.

“Ugh. This man. Anyway. We’ll be there in five minutes. Bye,” Maria says before ending the call on me. She turns her eyes on me for a moment and says, “Hey, I’m going to tell you now. Be nice to Jacob. He has never looked at me in any way but a roommate.”

“I know he isn’t interested. After all, he’s a shifter just like me. I shouldn’t be jealous, but I am.”

“Isn’t he the reason you’re down here in the first place?”

“Yes.”

“So we wouldn’t have met…” I know what she’s getting at, but my wolf doesn’t like that one bit and the man in me feels a straining pain in my chest at that idea.

“That’s not acceptable. Don’t even think it.”

“I’m just saying. You owe him.”

“He and I are even,” I state, willing to give only that.

“So no fighting.”

“Fine, but keep the hugs to a minimum. And when I say minimum, I mean none.”

“Okay, crazy. He and I have never hugged.” She pulls into the apartment parking lot and then turns off the engine, rolling her eyes in the process. I’m possessive. I can’t and won’t deny it—ever.

It’s hot, except when it’s against someone I think well of.

“Good to know.” I step out and walk around, looking for any trouble. I don’t see or sense any, but I crowd my mate anyway. There’s no way in hell I’ll let anyone harm a hair on her pretty head.

“Here are your keys,” she says, dumping them in my hand.

We go into the apartment building and up to the second floor. Mark opens the door for us. “Why, hello, Alpha.”

“Thank you for so kindly inviting me into my own home,” Maria states.

“Sorry.”

“I’m teasing.” She smiles at Mark. “I’m sorry we weren’t properly introduced.” She steals a glance at me, waiting for me to do it.

“Mate, this is my Beta, Mark Keats,” I say. “Mark, this is your Alpha female, Maria.”
