responded with a low growl that reverberated throughout her bones and made her stomach quiver.
    Remembering to breathe, she inhaled deeply, inadvertently taking in a long drag of Cain’s intoxicating scent. Her knees went weak and when she moaned again it was a raw, needy sound.
    Cain pushed her back against the cavern wall and tore his mouth from hers. For the first time, she got a good look at his face. Everything about him, his unkempt hair, the shaggy stubble on his face, and the feral glint in his eyes was wildly erotic to her. His muscular chest rose and fell in heavy, erratic breaths as he began unbuttoning his jeans.
    Sarah’s eyes widened when she realized what he intended to do. Her hand shot out to cover his before he could unzip his pants.
    “No, don’t,” she said in a high voice. She quickly wracked her brain, trying to remember exactly why she wanted to stop him. “I’m very angry at you.”
    Cain took a step forward, flattening her against the wall. “Okay.”
    She blinked up at him. Okay? What the hell did that mean? Lowering her hands to his chest, she pushed against him. He leaned back slightly, but otherwise stood his ground.
    “Don’t push me away,” he said.
    Sarah pushed at him again, this time with more force. “What does it matter? It’s not like it makes any difference. We both know I can’t stop you from doing whatever you want with my body.”
    “Sarah… I’m sorry.”
    “Don’t humor me with your apology,” she said, wrapping her arms around her chest. “If I leave you, I have to leave Snow and the other children. If I leave you, I can’t keep this baby. I’m the one who got screwed over, but you’re still holding all the cards.”
    Cain’s hands came up to cup her cheeks. “It was never my intention to take you as my mate. I lost control.” She could see his eyes soften. “I should have been honest with you, and for that, I am sorry.”
    He kissed her again, gently brushing his mouth across hers. Sarah’s lips trembled, and she squeezed her eyes shut in an effort to stem the flood of tears.
    Pulling back, he said, “I am not sorry that you are my mate. I love you.”
    Sarah opened her eyes, giving him a stricken look. Of all the cards she’d thought he might play, the “L” word hadn’t been one of them.
    “You hurt me,” she said, her voice cracking.
    “And if you will allow it, I will spend the rest of our lives making it up to you.”

    E verything about his mate was more than Cain remembered. Her skin was softer. Her face, even contorted with sadness, was more beautiful than he remembered. Her scent, now laced with the subtle undertone of impending motherhood, was richer than ever.
    He brushed his thumbs over the corners of her eyes, wiping away her tears. His fault. It was his fault that she was so distressed.
    When she did not respond to him, Cain kissed her again, this time with no intention of stopping. He lifted her up, carrying her over to the nearest pile of furs. Coming down on top of her, his hands sought out the lush mounds of her breasts. He could feel her stiffened nipples under the cotton fabric of her gown, but her body still remained tense beneath him.
    Still kneading one breast, he braced himself up on his free arm and drew his head back. “Stop resisting.”
    He had meant the words as a command, but they came out as more of a plea. Cain was not in the habit of begging, but if there was ever something worth begging for, it was her.
    Whether she saw this in his eyes, or she simply grew tired of fighting him, when Cain kissed her again, her body went lax. He felt a surge of triumph, followed immediately by a hard jolt of lust that shot down his spine and hardened his cock.
    Not wanting to push her too quickly, Cain tried to focus on caressing and kissing his mate. It had been so long since he had been with her, and his patience was exceptionally thin. Soon he was thrusting his tongue into her, desperately mimicking what he wanted to be
