“The moon is full tonight,” she said.

“I know.”

“Are you in control?”

“No,” he said. “What’s more, I don’t want to be. All I can think about is you. All of you. Every single part of you.” He slammed his lips down on hers. Liam didn’t know what he expected, her to slap him or push him away. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck and melted against him. He broke the kiss to trail his lips to her neck. “You have no idea what you fucking do to me, baby.” He growled, thrusting his hips against her so she had no doubt what he was referring to.

“I think we should take this elsewhere,” she said.

He pulled back and saw the curtains twitch inside her house. “Yes, we should.”

Liam couldn’t bear to be apart from her. He took hold of her hand, locking their fingers together as they left the safety of her driveway. The city was busy, and he went straight to his car, which he’d parked away from her house only because he didn’t know how much control he had.

Opening the door, he waited for her to climb inside, then rounded to the driver’s side. He got behind the wheel, turned over the ignition, and joined the traffic. Rather than head toward the center of the city, he took them both out toward the waiting forest. It had been a long time since he’d gone for a run. The older he got, the more control he had. Right now, he had to let off some steam.

The full moon felt like a constant presence at his back, driving him to turn.

Neither of them spoke, but he felt her.

One glance at her body, and he saw her nipples were puckered against the front of her shirt. The scent of her arousal was already heady in the air, making his mouth water for a taste of her. His cock was so fucking hard he was surprised it hadn’t torn his pants in half to get free.

After parking in a secluded spot, he climbed out of the car. He went to help Jenny out of the car, but she’d already climbed out.

“I love being out in the open,” she said. “I’ve tried to leave the city so many times.” She tilted her head back and breathed in the air. “So fresh. So freeing.”

He copied her, breathing in the air that wasn’t polluted by the cars.

She released a giggle and turned toward him. “Catch me.”

Before he could stop her, she’d taken off into the woods.

He removed his jacket and without a word, followed close behind her, wanting to chase her.

His cock, already hard, seemed to get even bigger.

Would Jenny be able to take all of him?

How innocent was she?

Would seeing him naked terrify her? He hoped he had the patience to make sure she would love sex as much as he did.

All he could think about was getting her to orgasm on his cock, to taste her slick pussy. The moment he got his hands on her, he intended to make her feel good. All of those curves would soon belong to him.

He followed her scent, drawn to her. She was his mate, he had no doubt.

Even though his father hadn’t found his true mate, Liam was more sure than anything that he’d found his.

He wanted to keep her. To love her. To protect her from the world.

She made a turn and as he followed, he came to a stop when he saw her shirt was on the ground. Picking up the garment, he placed it against his nose and inhaled her scent. She smelled so good, just as he imagined she would.

Glancing in the direction where she ran, he smiled. He removed his shirt, dropping it to the ground with hers. He’d have no problem finding them.

Chasing after her, he came upon her skirt, then her panties.

He picked up her panties and pressed them against his face. Fuck, she made him harder still. Pre-cum already leaked out of the tip of his cock. He needed to get to her soon. To taste her sweet cunt before anyone else.

Mine.
