Destined for Harmony (12 page)

Her lips curled into a wide smile. She’d never
have guessed her fated mate would be a rigid, domineering beta with a fondness for bondage. But, as her mom always said,
you can’t help who you fall in love with, only who you stay in love with.
And Harmony would always choose him. “I love you too.”

His answering grin made her heart swell in her chest. “
That’s good because I’m keeping you.”

“Here we go with the pet references ag
ain,” she said with an eye roll.

“Not my pet.
My treasure.”

She scrunched her nose.

“My companion?”

“No.”

“My troublemaker.”

She scowled.

His eyes lit up. “My possession.”

“Definitely not!”
She reached up and pushed the hair from his face. “Your partner.”

He leaned in and kissed her,
running his tongue across her bottom lip then tugging it into his mouth. After a long, thorough claiming, he pulled away and cupped her cheek. “My everything.”

Two months later

Harmony was finally moved into Sorin’s cabin and now she stood naked by his bed, her finger in her mouth, wearing the naughtiest expression he’d ever seen.

He admired her curves.
A slender waist that flared out to wide hips. Muscular thighs but still feminine. Soft, creamy skin he wanted to lick and bite. Today was the day. She’d been on the pill long enough. Now they would complete their mating and she’d be his forever.

“Well?” Her eyebrows darted up. “Are we doing this or what?”

Tonight, he was torn between a slow, sensual torture, and a carnal need to take her fast and hard. Another moment of admiring her beauty then he exhaled and walked to his dresser.

“Turn around,” he told her.

She complied. He’d been teaching her that trusting him in the bedroom made for the best sex. She was a quick learner.

In his dresser drawer, he pulled out a length of soft rope then walked toward Harmony. His gaze travelled down her body. She had the finest ass in camp.
Perfectly round and spankable.

Standing behind her, he kissed her shoulder softly. She shuddered and he watched
goosebumps rise on her flesh. He brushed her silky hair over her shoulder and planted kisses from her collarbone, to the back of her neck, and down her spine.

Her little sounds of pleasure spurred him on.
Time for the fun part. He took both her wrists and brought them behind her back. Using the rope, he tied her wrists together, loose enough not to hurt her or cut off circulation, but tight enough that she couldn’t slip out.

She didn’t mak
e a sound as he restrained her.

“I should tie you to the bed too in case you change your mind about the mating,” he teased. But he knew she was ready.

“You know I won’t.”

With a hand around her upper arm, he led her to the bed. “You’d better not.”

She looked up at him. Not an ounce of trepidation or hesitation showed on her face. Just sheer confidence and an aroused flush across her cheeks. “Kiss me,” she whispered.

How could he refuse
? He took her mouth with his and tangled a hand in her hair to keep her still. As he delved deeper into the kiss, she melted against him. Little mewling sounds escaped her as she leaned on him, seeming to be asking for more.

Finally, he pulled away. T
hey stared at each other a long moment. Then Harmony smirked. “If you mate as well as you kiss, I’m in trouble.”

“Oh you’re in trouble alright.” He
spun her then shoved her down onto the edge of the bed. With her pretty ass on display, he couldn’t resist. He gave it a slap then smiled at her yelp.

“
Mmmm.” He kissed the pink handprint he’d made.

“
Sorin,” she whined. “No teasing today.”

He laughed and it sounded evil to his own ears. She didn’t want teasing?
Too bad. He brought his hand up the outside of her thigh then inward. She trembled under his touch. His mate was needy today. At her core, he rubbed circles, just barely grazing her clit until she gasped and squirmed.

“
Sorin,” she panted. “Fuck me. I want you to come inside me. Please.” She wiggled when he pressed on her clit and held it there. Her voice went up an octave. “Please, Sorin. I want to feel you come inside me.”

His resistance snapped. He couldn’t tease her long when she talked like that. She wanted him – wanted to feel him empty inside he
r.

In three seconds flat, he’d torn off his clothes. A moment later, he plunged inside her.

She cried out and jerked underneath him but he pinned her down with a hand on the small of her back. It was too late to slow down now. A primal need took over – one, centuries old.

Harmony must’ve felt it too. She rubbed up against him, arching her back and sticking her ass out further as if encouraging him. He pumped slowly at first, adjusting the angle, reveling in the sensation of being
inside her without a condom.

“Fuck,” he muttered, rubbing circles on her lower back. “You feel so good.”

She whined and tried to move but she was stuck between his hand and his cock, pistoning inside her. “Harder,” she moaned.

Instinct took over. He pulle
d out then slammed back in. She gasped. He did it again, harder. The bed moved an inch.

Then he fucked her, hard and fast, until she was making desperate sobbing noises. A hunger grew inside him. One so intense, it almost scared him. He needed to bite – to mark. He
felt fangs descend from his gums, heavy and aching. His gaze zeroed in on her shoulder, pale and soft. Vulnerable. Meant for his mark.

With a growl, he leaned down and bit
, hard. She screamed. It set off an explosion inside him. The pressure that had been building finally spilled over. Seed shot out of his cock as pleasure seized him. He groaned and fell forward, trying not to crush her too much with his body.

When everything emptied from inside him, he pulled out with a hiss. His knees felt wobbly but he managed to walk to the bathroom for a towel. After wiping himself, he bent down and wiped Harmony then untied her hands.

She grimaced as she stretched her arms and turned over on the bed.

“You okay, love? Was I too rough?” He leaned in and studied the bite. It had broken skin but not much.

A contented smile lit up her face as she wrapped her arms around him and pulled him down on the bed. “That was wonderful.”

“It was?” He’d worried it was too much. It had been intense even for him.

“Yes. When can we do it again?”

He chuckled. “I need ti
me to recover, but I plan on doing it many, many times.”

She snuggled into the crook of his arm and he kissed her temple. “We’re fully mated now. There’s no going back.”

After a long suffering sigh, she said, “I know.”

He lifted his head and stared do
wn at her. “Don’t sound so upset about it.”

With a laugh, she reach
ed up and pecked him on the lips. “I don’t regret it. I love you, even though you are an asshole sometimes.”

“An asshole?”
He grinned down at her. “Now you’re gonna get it.” With a quick flip, he had her face down, that delectable ass within reach. “Don’t you know the rules for mated females? Any woman who dares call her mate an asshole gets a public flogging.”

She mock scoffed. “What? You’re
making that up!” Her struggling was useless. He had her good and pinned.

“But since I love you, I’ll let you get away with just a spanking.
This time.”

Now she really fought to get free. “No!” She laughed as she struggled bene
ath him, but he was too strong.

He spanked her while she giggled and gasped, and when he was done, he kissed each red mark on her ass. When he flipped her
back over, her face was as pink as her backside, but she was grinning.

“You’re ridiculous,” she said, her eyes sparkling with humor.

He loved her like this – feisty, silly, naked in his bed. It was hard to take his eyes off of her. He thought about her name, how predestined it seemed now. He’d needed harmony in his life. Balance came into his world in unexpected ways. And lessons were taught that he didn’t know needed teaching.

“I love you, my Harmony.”

She smiled up at him. “I know.”

Destiny Unchained
Sample

Crouched on the ground Natalia crept silently through the leaves, her sharp gaze focused on her target. The black wolf blended into the shadows of the thick trees. She’d tracked it by scent. The distinct odor of smoky pine invaded her nostrils.
Gods I hate these creatures.

As if it could read her mind the werewolf turned on her and snarled, its teeth gleaming in the darkness. The growl would’ve sent the toughest human screaming through the forest. But nothing scared her.
Especially not some barely out of the cave Cro-Magnon that sprouted fur and fangs once in a while.

She tightened her muscles ready to spring at the beast. A husky male voice sounded from behind her.

“Don’t even think about it, vampire.”

She stiffened but kept still, a vision of confidence. Three men stepped out of the trees, each with an arrow trained on her.
Well, if it isn’t Robin Hood and his merry men.

“Put your weapons on the ground,” the werewolf ordered. “Kick them toward me.”

She made no move to obey. “Bow and arrow? How archaic.”

“It’s effective. Want a demonstration?”

She gave no reply.

“Didn’t think so.
Weapons. All of them. I know you have at least a dozen on you. You reek of metal and rust.” His lips curled in amusement. “Who do you think you are, The Terminator?”

Two of the werewolves chuckled. The blonde on her right was eerily silent, but his gaze never left her face. A flash of gold on his coat caught her eye.
A badge. Rangers? Werewolves worked at Yellowstone as rangers?
