“I’m sorry for everything I put you through,” August says with a heavy heart.
“Water under the bridge,” Jackson says. “It doesn’t matter now.”
“You’ll come visit us, right?” I say as I give him a firm stare. “Thanksgiving in three weeks. We’ll set you a spot at the table. You better be here.”
He grins as he hugs each of us one more time and then races to his bike. “I’ll bring the pumpkin pie!”
I laugh as he starts his engine and then rides off with a wave.
I’m smiling as I watch him disappear down the road, but when I turn back to August, the smile on my face disappears.
“What is it?” I ask when I see him flexing his hands into fists. His body is all tight and that golden hue is back in his eyes. “August, what’s happening?”
It’s gone as quickly as it came.
“Nothing,” he says as he turns away from me. “What should we do for lunch?”
He’s already walking back into the cabin, trying to change the subject.
My stomach drops, knowing that this might not be over yet.
CHAPTER TEN
Hazel
August is fine for the rest of the day, but that all changes at night.
“What’s happening?” I gasp when I rush into the kitchen from the bedroom and see August kneeling on the ground, his whole body flexed and strained. Veins are popping out, running along his jacked muscles. His teeth are gritted and he’s grunting fiercely. A broken plate is shattered around his knees.
I step back with a whimper when he looks up at me with golden eyes. They’re no longer his normal shade of blue.
He’s fighting something… His bear? Is this the vicious beast he’s told me about?
His shoulders swell up and then quickly return to normal. His hands are curled and I spot a flash of black splitting his fingertips before they retreat just as fast.
I rush over and drop to my knees in front of him. Shame fills his eyes and he jerks his head away, not wanting me to see him like this.
“August,” I whisper as I grab his hand. “It’s okay. I’m here with you. We’ll get through this together.”
He seems to calm as soon as I touch him. Not much, but a little bit. His breaths are coming out a little less violent. A little less angry.
“Is it your bear?” I whisper as he drops his head into his hands.
“Yes,” he growls.
I thought he was better. I thought I was having a positive effect on him. I thought that maybe he was past all of this.
I guess I overestimated the effect a mate can have on a feral shifter. Maybe he truly is past saving.
No. I won’t accept that. I refuse to accept that.
“Lay down,” I whisper softly as I gently push his chest down with my hand.
I wipe the broken plates away and he drops onto the floor, laying on his back and covering his face with his hands.
“Let your woman take care of you,” I whisper as I unbuckle his belt. I reach into his pants and pull out his thick cock. It gets as hard as a rock the second I touch it.
He groans as I lean down and take him into my mouth. My jaw stretches wide as his big cock fills me up, making my cheeks flush, making my pussy throb with heat.
Fuck, he tastes good. So masculine. So salty and sweet.
I pull his cock out of my mouth with a pop and squeeze his thick base with my hand. He moans as I tease him with my tongue. I slide my tongue up his shaft from the base all the way to the soft round tip.
“Focus on my mouth,” I whisper between licks. “Let me take care of you. Both of you.”
He relaxes on the floor and removes his hands from his face. He watches me with a heated gaze as I suck his big dick.
I wrap my lips around his shaft and slide up and down, letting him fill me completely. He’s so large that my eyes water, my jaw aches, but I don’t stop. It’s going to take much more than a little pain to get me to stop.
I slide my open hand up his stomach, feeling his hard abs as I jerk him off with my other hand. His lustful eyes are locked on me as I stroke his length. He’s so fucking sexy. He makes me feel like the sexiest woman alive with the way he looks at me like this.
It’s not long before my mouth is back on his cock, moaning and sucking, my whole body throbbing with the need to pleasure this wild powerful man.
“Yes,” he growls as his hands squeeze into fists. His body tightens once again, but it’s not from his bear this time. It’s from my slutty little mouth.
I pick up the pace, moaning hungrily as I suck him harder and faster until tears are streaming down my cheeks and my jaw is aching.
