Austin’s POV
I could still feel her. Every part of me was burning. She was sitting on my lap, her fingers clutching my shirt, her body trembling in a way that made my wolf snarl with hunger. And for one terrifying second, just one, I felt my senses sharpen, my instincts rise, and a single, primal urge drown out every thought: Mark her. Claim her. Make her mine forever.
My hand slid to the back of her neck instinctively, my thumb brushing the soft skin. I can still locate her golden mark on her, the first mark by me on her! And now my urge to give a permanent one is getting stronger and stronger.
Madison shivered under the touch, leaning closer, her lips parting slightly as if welcoming me, inviting me.
“Madison…” I breathed, my voice hoarse. “You don’t know what you’re doing to me.”
