shoulder and her spine. She tensed under his strokes, and he pulled her hair away from her cheek and kissed her neck. She sighed.
She was barely breathing, tense again, and he licked her shoulder. She pressed her mound against his questing fingers, demanding more.
He inserted a finger into her, swirling it as deep as he could go, then pulling out, and she moaned in protest. Smiling, he inserted two fingers this time and eased into her, using his thumb to stroke her feminine nub at the same time. She was wet for him, writhing with his touch, begging for more.
Eager to make her come, he intensified the pressure until she cried out. He kissed her neck. “Are you ready for me?”
“Oh yeah,” she said, her voice sexy and sultry.
Glad to bring her pleasure, he pushed his cock into her, seating deeply.
He ran his hand over her thigh, his body throbbing with unspent need, and thrust.

Brooke had never imagined that being with a wolf, her mate, would be this hot, this fulfilling, this magical. Josh was everything to her and more, the way he touched her, made her feel exquisitely sexy and needy. Until he had mated with her, she couldn’t know how good it could get. In the position they were in, his hand was free to roam all over her body with whisper-soft touches. He massaged her breast, the palm of his hand rubbing against the nipple while he kissed her neck with tenderness and continued to thrust.
She relished the way he touched her with his hands, his mouth, his cock. She absorbed the rugged feel of him, the spicy scent of him, the sweet taste of him.
He rocked into her, his hand sliding down her hip, moving to where they were joined. He began stroking her again, but she didn’t think she could come again that soon. He was relentless and stirred primal needs that were buried deep, bringing them to the surface and making her want to howl.
Her adrenaline surged, his pheromones tantalizing hers as he drew her up in a swirl of sexual pleasure.
She was caught up in the maelstrom of emotions from raw joy to deep need. The second climax stole her breath, rocketing her to the moon in an explosion of fireworks that lit her world on fire.
This time, she howled, and he exploded in her, thrusting and kissing her shoulder before he finally finished. He wrapped his arms around her, still connected, not disengaging.
“God, I love you,” he said breathlessly against her hair and kissed her ear.
“No more than I love you, you wickedly sexy wolf.” She thought he would pull out and snuggle with her until they fell asleep, but he was semihard, and he wasn’t going anywhere. She smiled. He was one hot wolf.
Chapter 25
The next morning after Brooke and Josh made love in the shower—she’d never thought she could get that much pleasure out of cleaning up—and dressed, Adam and Lucas arrived at the house right before they all had breakfast. Brooke was amused Lucas had made it just in time to eat. Boy, did he eat! A double serving of hash browns, five sausage patties, two servings of scrambled eggs, and four slices of toast.
“You’re sure you’re all right to stay here with just two of the guys from the pack?” Josh asked Brooke.
“She’s got me too.” Lucas spread butter and blackberry jam on another piece of white toast.
Brooke reached over and squeezed Josh’s hand. “I’ll be fine. One of the guys will stay mostly in the shop and the other here. No matter where I am, I’ll be protected. The same with Lucas.”
“Hey, I’ve taken martial arts. If push comes to shove, I can shift,” Lucas said.
“No shifting to bite anyone,” Brooke said.
“If someone will give me a gun, I can shoot. My foster dad taught me. It was the only thing he wanted to do with me. Take me to the gun range.”
“No guns,” Brooke said. “Maverick and Sierra’s brother offered to help sort out stuff from the boxes, too, so we’ll all keep busy.”
“Okay.” Josh picked up his mug of coffee and pointed it at Lucas. “You do what everyone says if anyone should break into the house or shop.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
Brooke suspected Lucas would try to protect her or take out the bad guys if they showed up.
They finished breakfast, and then Josh hugged and kissed Brooke as Brad and Maverick arrived. Brooke hadn’t been surprised when Josh had asked a mated wolf to
