“The medication that Phil gave you last night ensured that, but this is different. It will ensure that no traces of the drugs remain in your system.”
He touched her knee. “I was not laughing
to be mean
;
you were just so cute
thinking that I was going to
take your temperature…
that way.”

Dani
was still
gripped by
a mixture of
anger and arousal
and she just wanted this to be over. “I don’t like this
,

she said, trying to keep her voice from sounding whiny but not succeeding.

Mason sat down on the bed and gently
but firmly
lifted her up and placed
her over his knees. She squirmed of course
,
and he landed a quick smack on each of her cheeks. “Be still please
. L
et’s get this done so
that
you can take a bath and
have
the remainder of the day to rest.”

Dani
fumed but stopped moving
;
she liked being held this way even with the threat of a spanking. She felt him lower her pants and panties and
then
spread her cheeks
apart
. She was not used to the sensation and
Dani
clenched as his finger brushed
against her exposed anus
.

“Relax
.
I
t will be cold, but I promise I won’t hurt you.”

Dani
took a breath as she felt the coolness of the suppository pressed against her back opening and then it slowly entered. She groaned with the sensation
,
but it was not as unpleasant as she
had expected
.
S
he felt his
finger deep inside her
as the pill was fully inserted
, and
Mason’s
other
hand was wonderfully warm as it rested against her lower back. He did this two more times and
Dani’s
groans quickly turned into a moan as she writhed against his thigh
s
.

“They will melt within a few minutes and then you can get up.”

Dani
was breathing
heav
ily
and she wanted desperately to tell Mason that she had no intention of getting off his lap
. Then
his fingers brushed against her clit and she moaned.

“Or I can find a reason to keep you
in this position


Mason’s tone was normally deep but it was now dripping with authority as he slid a finger inside of her aching sex
.

Dani
bucked as he worked his finger in and out of her and
she
tried to remember the last time she had felt this turned on. Another finger was added and
Dani
was growling now.
When she felt a finger slip into her bottom hole to complement the two in her pussy, she began to lose control.
How could this man know exactly how she
wanted
to be touched
,
and what she needed
just when she needed it?

Mason increased the speed
of
his fingers and
Dani
began to thrash under the sensations that were rolling over her in a constant wave. She had never been fingered
this way

he was the first man she
had
ever
let
back
there and she bucked
harder and harder
while his fingers pumped in and out of
both of her intimate openings
. “Mason


s
he
breathed out.
H
is
fingers
were thick and long and they were strumming her towards bliss.

“Tell me what you want
,

Mason commanded.

Dani’s
fire was put out as if a cold bucket of ice water had been thrown on her. “No, no, no


she moaned sadly.

Mason withdrew his fingers as
Dani
tried to scramble off
of
his lap.

Dani
, stop
.
W
hat
is it?”
he asked, confused.

Dani
bucked for a different reason as she clamored for the headboard. She needed
to be
off his lap and out of this room. “I can’t…
I can’t


s
he
repeated over and over until Mason let go of her completely. She curled up in the corner of the room
with
her pants still off and tried to compose her emotions.

Mason stood looking at her for a moment before striding to the corner and lifting her up into his arms. He took care to bring her straight into the bathroom and set her carefully down on the loveseat.
Mason tugged a towel off of the nearby shelf and draped it over her lap
, and then h
e moved to the bathtub and started the water while keeping his eyes on her. “I shouldn’t have touched you like that
without asking,

he said.

Dani’s
head snapped up and his words pulled her from
her
daze. “No! No, Mason, it’s not that
. P
lease don’t think that what you did was wrong.”

Mason frowned deeply as he adjusted the water and straightened. “
T
hen why are you so upset?”

Dani
let out a long sigh and brushed at her cheeks that were suddenly wet
with tears
. “I really want to be yours, Mason, and every time you ask me what I want or what I need the answer is always you.”

Mason
fidd
led
with the dials of the tub before leaning on the edge of it and running his hand through his hair. His expression was an odd mixture of relief and confusion as he stared at her. “Do you think that I’m
so
much of a Neanderthal that the moment you tell me that you want me I will just drag you off to bed and claim you?”

Dani
flushed at the thought and shrugged innocently.
“I’ve heard that most alphas don’t ask a female’s permission before they claim her,” she said quietly.

“Who told you that?”
Mason asked. “It was Phil, wasn’t it?” Mason sighed. “Look, just because some alphas are
brutes doesn’t
mean that I have to be that way.”

Dani
flushed deeper as he turned the water off and motioned for her to come over. She took small, deliberate steps until she was next to the tub.
Mason said nothing as he picked her up easily and set her
gently
into the
water
.
Dani
sank down into the oversized tub as Mason took her hand.

“So you are worried that I am just going to claim you without
giving you any warning
?” He kissed the tops of her knuckles and tucked a stray piece of hair back behind her ear.

Dani
took a breath
.

I’ve been on my own for so
long,
and
there are so many things that I just don’t know. I’ve never been around this many other wolves in my entire life. I certainly did not have anyone that I could ask
about things like this.
I don’t really know what ‘claiming’
even
entails.
D
o we get all goo-goo eyed, state our feelings, and go fuck like puppies?”

Mason leaned down and kissed her forehead
with a smile
. “
Dani
, as turned on as you make me, I will never fuck ‘like a puppy’.”
Then,
seemingly out of nowhere
, h
is eyes flashed orange for a moment and he let go of her hand.

Dani
frowned and reached for him. “Did I upset you?”
she asked quickly.
He had moved away from the tub and she was confused.

“No
,

h
e
stated simply before rolling his neck on his shoulders and turning back towards her. His eyes were back to the chocolate brown that she loved to look into and he sat down on the loveseat. “It was not anger,
Dani
,
but
I admit
that
it is becoming harder to
touch you without doing more than that
.”

Dani
sunk down deeper into the tub. She was frustrated because she felt the pull every time he was around her. She just wanted to throw herself on top of him and be his. What would it take for her to just admit that?
What would it take for him to just claim her whether or not she was ready to ask for it?

 

* * *

 

Dani
had been sitting quietly in the tub for nearly ten minutes while Mason paced back and forth around the bathroom, stopping periodically to look at her. He was clearly agitated, but neither of them knew what to say next.

Then, without warning, the
door s
wung
open and
Dani
jumped up
from the tub in surprise.

Phil
, realizing too late that it was
Dani
in the tub and not Mason
,
took several steps
back
. Something had him on edge
,
Dani
was sure,
or he would not have
burst
in without
knocking
.
“I’m sorry,
Dani
, I should have knocked
,

he apologized quickly, and then
turned to Mason.

“Mason, we need to talk right away. Tyler and Jesse found a wounded wolf in the woods, from a small pack that live
d
about twenty miles from here.”

Mason let out a breath and covered
Dani
with
a
towel. “
I’ll come see what is going on after
Dani
and I finish our conversation,” he said, sounding distracted.

“You don’t understand, Mason,” Phil continued insistently. “He was wounded by silver-cored
bullets. If Tyler and Jessie hadn’t found him while they were out scouting, he probably wouldn’t have survived.
He says that the rest of his pack was slaughtered by a large group of hunters, and he was the only one who escaped. He thinks they
'
re coming here next. He hid in the woods after they wounded him and he overheard them talking. He says that after we killed those men who took
Dani
, hunters from all around the region started gathering, and they plan to wipe us out.”

Mason clenched his jaw and clasped
Phil
on the shoulder.
“Alright, go and assemble the pack. I have to talk to
Dani
and then I’ll come out.”

Phil
gave a low growl
, and great stress was evident on his face
.
“Mason, you are the leader of this pack, and we need you right now.
I hope that you would not endanger
all of our
lives simply because
Dani
has yet to become your mate
and you want to
chat
with her about it.

As he spoke, Mason’s face grew dark and angry and his eyes burned orange. He stepped close enough to Phil that their bodies were nearly touching, but
Phil
didn’t back down. He stood his ground,
c
hest
-
to
-
chest with
Mason
.

Dani
had never seen two men closer to ripping each other to pieces, and she wanted to say something to calm the situation, but no words came to her and she stood silent and frozen in place.

Phil pointed at
Dani
but
kept his eyes on his pack leader
.
“Mason,
t
his situation is very serious
. I don’t know what is going through your mind, but you can worry about your female later—
