To Tame His Mate by Serena Pettus Read Free Book Online Page B

lust.
    Sarah shook her head. What was she thinking? Her damn lust had enough fuel right now. Hell, she already felt as if she were burning up. Every little bump caused her to bounce, her overly sensitive nipples to rub on the material of her shirt, and her clit to throb. If she didn’t get somewhere private, and soon, she might very well embarrass herself.
    She whimpered; the sound wrenched from her throat by her greedy body. Would he object to a little off-road driving? Damn, if she could go down a bumpy road, it just might do the job without her openly masturbating in front of the man who would be her mate.
    “Christ, hon, you’re killing me here,” Erik groaned. He sat beside her, looking sexy as sin, a light sheen of sweat on his brow as he clenched the wheel and fought to concentrate on the road.
    “Sorry.” But she wasn’t. Not in the least. She loved that she had this effect on him. It gave her hope that maybe she could have a shot with him. A life of freedom…a family. But only if he gave her the freedom her mind, body and wolf craved. Sarah had no intention of allowing anyone to control her, to shackle her into a life of unhappiness.
    Her instincts told her that this man, this wolf , was different, and she always trusted her instincts. She’d been relying on her gut to keep her alive for years now, and it hadn’t failed her yet.
    As soon as Erik brought the vehicle to a shuddering halt, he vaulted out the door, sprinted to hers and was pulling her out before she’d even gotten completely free of her seatbelt. She found herself, once again, in his arms as he practically ran for the house.
    With her legs held tightly closed and her breasts rubbing against his chest with every step, she could no longer contain herself and released a long, throaty moan.
    “Erik, I can’t stand it. This is torture.” An exquisite torture but cruel just the same.
    “It’ll be all right. Your metabolism should finish burning it off within the next half hour,” he assured her.
    She hoped so. Her body trembled on the edge of an orgasm, so close that if she got just a little more pressure…
    The next thing she knew, they were inside and heading down the hall. He kicked the second door open and crossed to the bed to set her down.
    They were in a guest room. She managed to deduce that much through the haze of lust that had settled in her head. She also concluded she’d kiss Erik as soon as he turned his head her way. And as he set her down, he did just that.

    Erik wasn’t sure if Sarah’s knee still bothered her or not, but he was mindful just the same. As he settled her, her arms loosened around his neck until just her warm palm rested at his nape. He turned his head to take in her expression and froze. Her eyes, those beautiful balls of amber fire, were so filled with need he felt it as if it were a punch to his gut.
    Her fingers tightened, and she slowly, hesitantly, brought his lips to her own. What had started out as a shy exploration, quickly turned into a desperate fight for control on his part. He couldn’t let himself lose focus, damn it. She needed to achieve her release so that she could gain some relief.
    He reluctantly pulled back, groaning when her teeth tugged at his lower lip. Good Lord, this must be punishment for some past sin. He was so aroused his jeans nearly strangled his cock.
    “Sarah, slow down.” Erik pulled her hands from around his neck and placed them on the pillow above her head. “Can I touch you? Will you allow me to you help you?”
    She nodded and shifted her legs, a raspy moan escaping her as she did.
    “Jesus, I can’t stand this Erik. I’m going to lose my mind.” Tears filled her eyes as her frustration increased.
    “Shh, I’ve got you,” he crooned as his hands skimmed down her arms, to her ribs and eventually to the hem of her shirt. He kept his eyes on her face, prepared to stop if she asked and so damn thankful when she only sighed and closed her
