    Dallas watched Connor and Stacy walk
away together. He couldn’t leave Austin’s side, but he wanted to. He wanted to
hunt his brother down and beat the shit out of him. His wolf agreed with him. He
looked at Austin when he called the meeting to an end. He was off the platform
before Austin could tell him to go.
    He found them coming out of the cells. He
didn’t even ask, but hit Connor as hard as he could, knocking him back several
feet. Connor was up in a second and coming at him. Stacy stepped between them
at the last second and he hit her instead.
    “Mother fuck, look what you’ve done. Christ,
you’ve killed her.” Connor tried to knock him away when he reached for her. “Leave
her alone and I’ll take her—”
    “Touch her and you’ll die.” He knew his
wolf had surfaced; his voice was rougher for it and his eyes had turned. “She’s
mine.”
    “Then fucking act like it. Claim her or
I will.” Connor stomped away and Dallas lifted her into his arms. When she
moaned slightly his heart ached.
    Dallas took her back to his home. He put
her on his bed and went to get a wet cloth. He’d hit her hard and knew she’d
been hurting when she woke. He wiped gently at the blood on her lip and hoped
she’d forgive him in the next several lifetimes. When she opened her eyes he
thought he’d be lucky if she gave him until hell froze over before she even
spoke to him.
    “You hit me.”
    He nodded, picked her up in his arms,
and took her to the bathroom.
    “I am quite capable of walking. Put me
down please.”
    “I’m running you a tub. Then I’m going
to help you bathe. I don’t want you to be angry with me.” She stiffened, but he
didn’t stop where he was going. “My sister says a bath can cure any kind of
hurts.”
    “Then give her one. I wish to leave. Right
now.”
    He didn’t answer her. When the water was
full enough, he turned it off and began to unbutton her blouse.
    “What do you think you are doing?”
    “You can’t bathe in your clothes. They’ll
get wet and you’ll have nothing to put back on.” He grinned. “Not that you’ll
need it for a while, but eventually you need something.”
    She slapped at his hands and started to
button the thing back up. Dallas let her go so far then he took the two ends
and ripped it open. He nearly swallowed his tongue when he saw what she had on
under it. Running his fingers over the soft silk, he heard her breath catch. The
dark blue fabric barely held her in and her nipples were hard beneath it. He
leaned down and took one hard peak into his mouth.
    “Dallas, you cannot.”
    He lifted her onto the counter and broke
the clasp off her bra. Her breasts spilled out and into his hands. When she
leaned back on the counter he feasted on them. Licking one, then the other he
couldn’t decide which he wanted more so he lifted them together and took them
both. Her fingers lacing in his hair had him groaning. When she started to
unbutton his own shirt he told her to rip it and was satisfied when he heard it
tear and buttons bounce all over the bathroom.
    He pulled her pants off with her panties
and shoes and stepped back. Christ, if there was anything more beautiful in the
world, he’d like to know what it was. But he couldn’t touch her just yet. “I
want you. Right now, I want to take you as mine. But if you don’t want me, now
would be the time to say so.” She was panting and her eyes had turned. “Stacy,
tell me you want me as much as I do you.”
    “Yes,” she hissed at him, and he stepped
between her legs and took her mouth. When she whimpered he licked the sore and
felt as if his body snapped into place. His mate. Stacy really was his mate.
    “Say it. Tell me you’re mine.” He opened
his pants and pulled them off. He stood before her naked and needy. “Say it,
Stacy. Tell me what we both know.”
    “I’m your mate. I’ve waited for you for
so long. But—”
    He cut her off by taking her mouth
again. As he picked her up,
