just enough pressure to tilt her face up. Her wolfy half warred with her human side. The wolf was equally impressed by Carson’s bravery as she was by the size of his cock. Her wolf was too damned easy to impress. Her human half wanted…time. She wanted romance. To be wooed and loved.
    But this wasn’t about love. It had never been about love, and she needed to stop pretending the mate bonds were the result of anything but a biological drive. The heat swelled, messing with her ability to think straight.
    “Jack,” she said, her tongue feeling clumsy around the name. “You want Jack.”
    Carson turned his hand to cradle her jaw. He spread his fingers, laying them against the vulnerable side of her neck. His pinky rested just above the spot where her pulse thundered beneath her skin.
    His dark eyes hooded. “That doesn’t stop me from wanting you. You want Jack, Eli, Case. I can want more than one person too.”
    “You’ll mate with me to stay close to him.”
    “I’ll mate with you because I want to mate with you. Staying close to Jack, getting to stay with the pack is a part of that. You’re a part of my pack and yet here I am standing on the outside. I can’t deny that’s some of the attraction. It’s not all of it. You feel it too.”
    She did. She felt something . Heat, pheromones, the wolf, whatever the heck it was, she felt the pull of it. When Carson lowered his head to kiss her, she didn’t try to avoid it. One kiss. Maybe it would help her to make up her mind about him. When she’d come downstairs tonight, she hadn’t expected to claim him. She’d truly believed that he hated her. Maybe he did, but it didn’t feel like it.
    His hand, warm and steady, slid beneath the fall of her hair. He cupped the back of her neck and pulled her closer. His mouth was tentative as it moved on hers, his lips surprisingly soft. His tongue slid between her parted lips and immediately withdrew. He pulled back enough to look her in the eyes. Whatever he saw caused him to nod slightly and come back for a deeper, more thorough kiss.
    She gripped his arms, more to steady herself than to draw him closer, but he came closer. His thighs bumped her knees and then pressed between them. His broke the kiss and slid his rough cheek against hers. His hot breath spilled into her ear a moment before his teeth caught her earlobe. His hands slid lower, skimming the sides of her breasts to settle at her waist.
    He was a tentative lover, feeling her out with every touch. She couldn’t doubt that he was aroused, not with the evidence right there. But he didn’t seem to be in any hurry either. He lightly licked the shell of her ear and then pulled back to look her in the face.
    “Is this all right?”
    It was more than all right. But he was asking how far he could go, and she hadn’t decided that yet.
    “I’m not going to sleep with you and Jack both. If you only want me because you think it’ll get you in bed with Jack then the answer is no.”
    He smiled at that, a startled and open smile that made him appear years younger. “That’s just as well. I’m not particularly happy with Jack right now. I don’t want that.”
    “What do you want?”
     
     
    What do you want?
    Carson looked down at Maggie and tried to decide how to answer her. Her face was flushed and lovely. Her lips plump, her eyes already slightly glazed with lust. Wolflight danced in the depths, calling to his wolf with as strong a pull as the moon. A female shifter in heat. Impossible to resist.
    Almost impossible to resist.
    The rest of the pack—Case, Eli and Jack—were so pleased with their prize. Why shouldn’t they be? It was no secret that Eli had always wanted a mate. Case…who knew what was in the alpha’s heart? He kept it locked up so tight.
    Jack had surprised him.
    Jack had been the first one he’d met from the pack. Carson had been hiking through the mountains, lost and alone. Running from his old life. Adrift. He and Jack were the youngest
