pussy.
She stood at the edge of his desk and lifted her chin, her eyes daring
him. I have to do this, Eli.
No. He shook his head. Hell no.
Yes.
I m not going to fucking argue with you on this, Nikki-Raine.
She snorted.

Eli s eyes widened at her blatant disregard.
It is my life, Eli. I& need to do this. So I can put it behind me once
and for all. Her gaze dropped to his desk. And if they ve killed an
innocent woman like they almost did me, they can t be allowed to get
away with it.
Something else will come to light, Nikki. I m not risking
It s not up to you.
Eli charged around the corner of the desk nearest to her. It is
goddamn
She pressed her fingers against his lips and shook her head. It s
not.
Caelan rose. I think I ll just go check on Tieran.
Neither one of them saw him leave.
Closing his eyes, Eli took a deep breath and held it. He released it
with a whoosh, but it was another few seconds before he could look at
her again. Little minx.
I have to get over my fear, Eli. I should have done more when it
happened, but I took the coward s way out. Now I have to live with the
fact that they ve killed someone. She stabbed at her chest with her
thumb. I could have prevented that if I had just been a bigger person
back then.
No, he said, grabbing hold of her hand and pulling her to him. You
did everything you could at the time, Nikki. This is not your fault.
She gave him a sad smile and whispered, But it feels like it is.
Fuck.
How could he deny her when he knew in his heart what she had to
do? It went against every protective instinct of his being.
Damn, he sighed, hugging her to his chest. His fingers tangled in
the black sea of her hair and he kissed the top of her head.
She let go of his hand and wrapped her arms around him. Her belly
pillowed his growing erection, making him think of more important
things they could be doing instead of arguing.

Are you always hard?
See? She was thinking the same thing.
Eli swayed with her. Wouldn t be very useful if it was soft all the
time, would it? He kissed his way down her hairline to her ear and
nibbled the soft flesh, inhaling her delicious scent.
Nikki cocked her head, giving him access to her neck. As if she could
deny him. Tumultuous thoughts still knocked around her head. No
matter what Eli said, if she d sucked it up all those months ago and
given a better description or some more details, then that woman might
not be dead right now. And she wouldn t feel this inexorable amount of
guilt. She shouldn t be making out right now. She should be at the police
station picking out faces.
Eli s tongue lashed out, licking her from tender shoulder to earlobe,
making her shiver. The man had one hell of a talented tongue. Talented
enough to make her forget everything for a moment. His lengthened teeth
nipped at her throat and her knees went weak.
If he wasn t holding her up, she d probably hit the floor.
I could take you on my desk right now, he growled, sending a whole
new set of goose bumps parading down her arms. I can smell your
arousal, sweetheart.
Mmm. Any kind of rational response fled. His hands wandered over
her fevered body, down her sides, around her butt cheeks, up her
ribcage, surrounding her breasts.
Before she knew it, he had her top off and his fingers were plucking
at her nipples.
Eli rotated, turning them so her butt brushed against the edge of the
desk. His mouth devoured her, laving her face and neck to her chest and
the soft flesh there. She needed to feel his skin, to run her fingers over
his abs. Nikki pulled at his T-shirt, tugging it from his waistband. She
slipped her hands beneath and smiled when he hissed in a breath.
She knew from the rock-hard cock against her belly that he was more
than ready to take her, just like he d said.

With his hands cupping her ass, Eli lifted her and set her on the
desk. He brushed the papers off by sweeping his arm across the top.
Nikki attacked his button-fly. The buttons weren t easy as strained as
they were over his cock.
Damn, I can t wait to be inside you. Hurry.
Impatient pup. She laughed when he growled.
I don t see no pups around here. Yet.
Nikki s breath caught and she lifted her head to look at him. His eyes
glittered with desire and& hope? He wanted a child? She d heard him call
some kids pups at one time, and why not? They were the children of
shifter parents, would someday be able to become a wolf themselves.
Yes, Nikki, I want a baby with you. Lots of them. His dimples
deepened.
She swallowed and imagined her belly big and round with his baby.
Hell yes, she wanted the same thing.
Nikki attacked his buttons with renewed fervor. The third one was
stuck. He flipped her fumbling fingers out of the way and tore the fly
open. His cock sprung free and she wrapped her fingers around his
velvety length.
Eli leaned forward and rested his forehead on hers. Harder, he
whispered, his eyes closed, his tongue dipping out to lick his lips. A
glistening drop of pre-come seeped from the slit. Nikki used her thumb to
spread the moisture. His cock jumped when she hit a nerve-filled area
and he gritted his teeth.
Damn that feels good. Fuck, he grunted when she twisted her hand
up and over the head.
Stop. Eli pulled back. I m gonna come all over your hands and I
want to be buried inside you first. He pushed her back until she was
lying on the desk and slowly unzipped her jeans.
His warm hands slid into the top of her panties and pried the
material over her hips, taking the jeans with them. He stripped off her
pants, leaving her naked and panting. His cock jutted proudly.

Eli kneeled before her and spread her thighs. Nikki scrambled to prop
herself on her elbows.
Relax.
I want to watch.
His eyes widened and glowed, his nostrils flared.
She wanted to watch but couldn t because the minute his tongue
touched her pussy, her head dropped back and her eyes closed. Small
delicate licks became long swipes from her anus to her clit. Nikki dug her
heels into the side of the desk, her thighs quivering.
Within seconds he had her begging. He sucked at her clit but not
with quite enough pressure for release. She whimpered. His tongue
lashed deep inside her and she squeezed his head between her legs.
She glared at the top of his head. Please, she cried.
Eli lifted his gaze to hers. That s what I wanted to hear. He smiled
and inserted two fingers into her channel, scissoring them so they
caressed her inner walls, nearly making her jump off the table. So wet,
he crooned. Mine.
His tongue returned to her clit, flicking and torturing it until the nub
was ready to explode. At the last second he pulled it completely out of its
hood and pressed the tip of his tongue to it.
Nikki s entire body seized. Tingles shot to her curled toes, and her
nipples throbbed. Head flailing back and forth, she slapped at the desk.
It was the most intense orgasm she d ever had. All the while Eli assaulted
her with his mouth and fingers, wrenching every last drop of the orgasm
from her body.
He rose after she stopped shaking, a grin splitting his face.
My turn. His voice was guttural. Eli stepped between her thighs,
lifted her legs around his waist and placed the plum-shaped head of his
cock at her entrance. The most tender look crossed his face. Are you
ready?
Nikki nodded. More than. She reached both hands up and laced her
fingers with his. Tieran had told her that shifters could sense when a

woman was ovulating. Was this one of those times? Could Eli sense her
heat, so to speak? She didn t think it was, but obviously a shifter s nose
was more reliable than a calendar.
He pressed in, inch by delectable inch. Her body bowed off the hard
