“
The black BMW.
”
Several people leapt into the door at once.
“
Go!
”
He didn
’
t need to tell me again. But he would have to tell me later what the hell just happened. I ran as if my life depended on it, putting my full wolf speed to the test. I got to the car and started it right up, throwing it in reverse and peeling out of the spot. I switched gears and floored it.
I
’
d just turned out of the parking lot and was about to go through the intersection when I saw Harris, still in cheetah form, and Cooper race out the front door. Holy shit! I checked quickly that no cars were around before blowing the red light. Another first. I then broke the speed limit to get back to my apartment, glad that I didn
’
t meet any cops on the way. I don
’
t even know if I
’
d have been able to explain to them what had happened.
I parked in my spot and barely remembered to turn off the engine before getting out of the car. After locking it with the fob, I darted into my building and raced up the stairs, not even willing to wait for the elevator. When I got to my apartment, I didn
’
t have the keys for that either so I banged on the door.
It took Tristan a few minutes to open it and I practically dove past him, pushing the door closed before engaging the locks.
I leaned against the now-locked door and tried to calm myself down to w
here
I was no longer gasping for breath and my heart wasn
’
t trying to beat out of my chest.
“
Sera?
”
h
e asked, his
blue
eyes wide with shock.
“
Something happened—
”
I started but then saw his face change. It turned to pure lust. Not like Engle and everyone else at work but really damn close.
“
Tristan, stop.
”
I barely got the words out before he was on me. We fell to the floor
,
and
,
since I hadn
’
t been facing him fully
,
I landed on my side. Tristan rolled me enough so I was on my stomach and moved himself in between my legs.
“
Need,
”
h
e growled as he ripped off my skirt before I heard the zipper of his jeans.
“
Need, Sera.
”
Now I was panting for a different reason and it wasn
’
t fear. I
’
ve never been thrown to the floor and ravaged before. Tristan pushed two fingers inside of me as if testing my readiness. Yup, I was ready alright! How could I sa
y
no to him? I was the reason this was all happening and to deny him now seemed cruel. Plus, now I was just horny.
“
Say yes
,
”
h
e bit out, obviously on the edge of control.
“
Yes,
”
I gasped as he shoved my knees under me as he pulled out his fingers. He moaned and shoved himself into me hard. I cried out at the mix of pleasure and pain. Then his large hands grabbed my shoulders and he pounded into me over and over again, taking me like I
’
d never been before.
The
re
was no way a human could ever have moved as fast or as forcefully as he was. Hell, no human could have withstood his thrusts. But there I was, like a bitch in heat, meeting his body each time. We crested together, our cries intermingling as we climaxed.
I slumped to the floor, my legs sliding out from under me in my exhaustion. Tristan hadn
’
t been ready for that because he followed me down. I wheezed as his weight forced the air from my lungs.
“
Sorry,
”
he grunted and rolled us so we were on our sides, pulling out of me. We lay
there
gasping for several moments, neither of us knowing what to do next.
“
What the fuck just happened?
”
“
Awesome sex?
”
I snickered, shaking my head to dispel the pleasure from my orgasm.
“
Heck
if I know.
”
“
Why did you come running in here like the hounds of hell were on your tail?
”
I rolled to face him, smiling when I saw
the
concern in his look, his eyebrows drawn together.
“
Something happened at work,
”
I admitted with a one shoulder shrug.
“
My boss and the wolf Alpha set me off
,
and I finally let all my power show when he was saying he
’
d make me Alpha Bitch.
”
Tristan
’
s eyes went wide.
“
He can
’
t be stupid enough to actually believe you
’
d ever submit to him.
”
“
Smart man
.
”
I chuckled, talking about him and not Engle.
“
But yes, he seems to think I
’
d really make a great
bitch
. And Monroe was playing into his game, trying to friend him so we could get the information we needed. I couldn
’
t handle it. I freaked out and somehow set the whole office off. I don
’
t know what happened.
”
“
I saw you and felt the ripples of whatever power you used,
”
he whispered, looking almost as frightened as he did concerned.
“
Your aura was glowing to the point that you were the sun and I knew you
’
d burn me but I didn
’
t care. I thought I might go mad if I didn
’
t have you right that second. Thank you for not denying me.
”
“
It
’
s not your fault I decided to show off,
”
I said gently, moving closer to him until I laid my head against his chest. He rolled onto his back, wrapping his arms around me and pulling me partially on
to him.
“
For one, it was hot as hell that you were going all caveman. Two, I couldn
’
t deny you knowing I caused this.
”
“
I
’
m sorry if I was too rough,
”
he whispered as he kissed my hair.
“
I
’
ve never lost control like that before. I didn
’
t even know I had
it
in me to fuck like that.
”
“
Well
,
I hope I can get another repeat under different circumstances,
”
I purred, letting him know he had nothing to feel guilty about.
“
Maybe over the couch so I don
’
t get rug burn on my knees though.
”
“
Deal
.
”
H
e snickered, rubbing my back
gently
.
“
What
’
s going to happen to everyone else who didn
’
t calm down after they fucked you?
”
“
I have no idea.
”
I shivered. Were they all on their way here now to get me? I hadn
’
t realized until Tristan phrased it as he did that that
’
s why everyone was trying to get me. Some of the people in the office were women or gay men. Would they have tried to fuck me
,
too? This was bad.
My phone rang then and I reached over to what was left of my skirt and slid it out of the pocket. I might not have carried my keys on me
,
but I never went anywhere without my phone. I winced when I saw it was Monroe.
“
Hey, Chief.
”
I tried to make my voice sound as casual as I could.
“
Are you okay?
”
h
e asked, sounding out of breath.
“
Yeah, Tristan jumped me when I got home but that was fine,
”
I answered right away, blushing at sharing too much. I glanced at Tristan.
Fine
, he mouthed, as if offended. I smiled and smacked his chest, rolling my eyes. He in turn chuckled and I knew I hadn
’
t bruised his ego.
“
Okay good,
”
Monroe sighed.
“
I had to call Vlad in for help. He dissipated your effect on everyone and helped me contain it before things got out of hand.
”
“
Before
they got out of hand?
”
I asked sarcastically.
“
What the fuck were you trying to prove with Engle, Chief?
”
“
Something that obviously backfired,
”
he answered dryly.
“
Vlad and I will be there in a bit to explain.
He drew from his power to force people to shift back.
I
’
ve sent everyone here home since they were all freaked out and drained. Most won
’
t even remember what happened besides feeling as if they were drugged. I don
’
t like wiping my people
’
s minds
,
but
,
given this was my fault
,
I can
’
t risk what the repercussions would be to you.
”
Yeah, that wasn
’
t scary sounding and creepily ominous.
“
We
’
ll be there soon.
”
With that, he hung up.
“
Why call in Vlad?
”
Tristan asked as we stared at each other.
“
I don
’
t know
,
but I
’
m starting to freak out again, Tristan,
”
I whispered, shaking at the feeling I
’
d done something really bad. I tried to play it light.
“
At least he wasn
’
t pissed that I hit him.
”
“
You hit your boss?
”
He couldn
’
t have sounded more shocked than if I
’
d told him I walked in
to work naked. At least Tristan knew me well enough to know that I
’
d never do such a thing under normal circumstances. I wasn
’
t sure if I found comfort that he knew me so well, or
if
it was another thing to wig out about.
Maybe tomorrow. I had enough on my plate for today.
Chapter 10
I showered and changed, feeling as if I
’
d been put through the wringer. Yet again. Tristan had cleaned himself up because I couldn
’
t smell sex or myself on him as much as I did before getting in the shower. I walked into the kitchen and kissed him. He
’
d made me fresh coffee, scrambled eggs, and bacon.
Who didn
’
t love a man who
’
d cook for them without even having to ask?
“
Thank you,
”
I moaned as I grabbed the mug and plate he offered.
“
I
’
m so giving you a blow job for this.
”
“
I
’
ll collect after our company leaves,
”
he replied in a husky, deep tone. I was just going to ask what he meant, no one else was here, when there was a knock at the door. Oh, he was good. I hadn
’
t even felt them.
“
I
’
ll show them into the living room.
