that’s the only reason?”
    “It’s not.”
    Bethany waited, but he didn’t elaborate.
    “Perhaps we can barter for the information?” Bethany began to kiss her way down his fantastic chest.
    He stroked her hair, and his voice was amused. “I’m not so easily led to give up secrets.”
    She licked his belly button, and his hips twitched.
    “On the other hand,” he started to say, and then his breath caught in a strangled moan when she slid her lips over the tip of his penis. His fists clutched the bedsheets. “You have a way with me.”
    “I want to have my way with you,” she said as his fingers locked in her hair again.
    She blew softly on the tip, and it bobbed toward her. It was completely natural to take it in her mouth and slide the length of him down her mouth.
    “Uh,” he said and lost the power of speech as she glided up and down over him. She swirled her tongue around him and then up to suck on just the tip. Bethany let him slide out of her mouth with an audible smack and propped herself up on her elbow.
    “Ve have vays of making you talk.”
    He chuckled. “Do your worst.”
    She did and attacked him with a gentleness and sense of purpose that had him rigid and sucking air into his lungs on a half scream. His eyes rolled back, and he was moaning in time to the rhythm of her mouth. One hand tangled in her hair, and the other was grasping the bedsheets in abandon.
    “Tell me,” Bethany said, gasping for breath.
    She moved between his legs and slid his cock between her breasts.
    “Anything,” he muttered. “Just don’t stop.”
    “What’s in California aside from profit?” She used her breasts to jerk him off, pausing to suck on him with a few quick drags.
    “Gods,” he said in a guttural voice. “A rudimentary laboratory. Where they imprison and experiment on Shifters.”
    “Who’s in the lab?” Shock froze her. Daniel? Could he have made it across the country only to have been captured?
    “No,” he said, and her mouth went back to him. She deep throated him with a satisfied growl and played with his balls.
    “Tell me,” she said, stopping again.
    His body shimmered as if he were going to shift. For a moment a slight patina of fur dusted over his body before he wrested back control. “Friends of mine. And if you tell anyone, I’ll snap your neck,” he bit out viciously.
    It popped her out of the haze, and she looked into his alien, predator eyes. Shivers danced over her spine. He would. She should throw him out for threatening her. But instead she denied him his release—at least with her mouth. Bethany slid up his body, never taking her eyes off his. She straddled him, easing his hard cock inside her.
    Lucas let out a breath. “Say something,” he said.
    “Fuck me.”
    And he did, holding on to her hips. They didn’t look away from each other’s eyes. His gaze was wild, lost and desperate. Bethany felt detached, like she was drifting away as waves of pleasure filled her with each of his thrusts.
    “Damn you,” he said, arching harder. “Damn you.”
    His fingers found her clit, and the bubble of protection she had encased herself in popped. The blood roared in her ears, and she cried out. Satisfaction made his face even more beautiful, and his shout nearly deafened her.
    It became a race then. Who was fucking who? Who was going to come first? It was a contest she didn’t want to lose, but the driving thrusts satisfied like nothing she’d ever felt. Keith’s fucking had been adequate, enough to scratch an itch. Lucas made love like a tornado, stripping her of inhibition. Bethany cried out as his hard body drove her over the edge. Sagging, she felt boneless as he held her in place while he exploded inside her. His primal grunt of satisfaction made her shiver.
    She slid off him and laid her hot cheek on the cool pillow. He gulped ragged breaths. She floated in a pleasure cloud, even as his threat still poisoned her heart.
    “I’ll keep your secret,” she said,
