THE ALPHA'S HIDDEN FLAME

SIXTEEN: THEY COME "IN HEAT"

"Like s*x?" Bright asked her.

The sudden flare of heat in her eyes astonished him.

"This certain thing might happen if you can't control it"

She gave a soft smile. "Yes. I wan't to feel it too."

Not in seconds later, Princess Ember sat back in her wooden chair near in the bed and let out a long breath.

"Well." She smiled at him. ‘You’re right about one thing. You are smart at fighting. And you’re good at teaching"

For the first time in her life after a long training and fight those who attack her, her head wasn’t bursting and her brain wasn’t twisting itself into knots. Nor did she feel like a complete failure.

Alpha Bright put down his swords. "I can see how hard it is for you and that makes the whole thing even more amazing."

"What’s amazing?"

Stunned by her direct approach, and feeling an uncomfortable flare of lust, Alpha Bright ran his fingers through his hair. "Let’s get on with these training, while I’m still able to concentrate"

He shook his head and leaned further to Ember's hot body as he started to remove it. His hair gleamed blue- black in the late-evening sun and the usual chill in his eyes had been replaced by something significantly warmer. "The fact that you’ve managed to follow my rules, I’m staggered. And impressed."

"How can you say that? I didn’t make you a profit and, because of me, I almost lost your life"

The chill returned back in his eyes. "Its not because of you. because its what I wanted"

The dark frown cleared from his brow. He glanced back at her with a disbelieving shake of his head.

She couldn’t resist teasing him. "Would I have made you strong and powerful?"

He glanced up, a strange expression on his handsome face. "If I had more people and power, you will working for me then my life would be a great deal simpler. How do you manage to take me easy like this?"

She shrugged. "I’m good at ideas. I’m hopeless at romance detail and probably always will be, but I see the bigger picture. I know what people want and what is likely to work. I was good at pulling in the someone's trust"

"Don’t put it in the past tense." He dropped his clothes on the ground, now his mascular body is ready to touch, and the way he looked at her thoughtfully, didn't remove. "How would you feel about extending your training with me?"

Ember eyes widened. "You mean I have to be trained by you for my whole life?"

"Actually I meant across the world," he said drily, the faint smile that touched his mouth telling her how amused he was by her provincial ambitions. "I think it’s an idea that could become a global phenomenon."

"But I’m very hands-on. I mean, but I have still my own mission" she bit her lip, trying not to be daunted by the fact that she was discussing her business with a wolf-man who made more advantage on her, in an hour than she would in a lifetime.

He looked at her for a moment and then shrugged. "It seemed less trouble than tracking you through the rainforest."

But even his casual answer wasn’t enough to dampen the happiness inside her. He’d thought about what she needed. About what might help her.

Princess Ember couldn’t prevent the warm glow of happiness that suddenly filled her. "You’ve just spent hours going through, to save me, the training with me, and yet you still make me sound like an asset, not a hindrance."

In a series of swift movements, Alpha Bright removed all his clothes below and stood for a moment, watching her, completely unselfconscious.

"Why would you need to do that?" Confronted by such a blatant display of potent masculinity, she felt her cheeks heat.

"Because I love it." Bright whispered in her ear.

She gave a gasp of shock as he surfaced right next to her. There was a dangerous glint in his eyes.

"There are all sorts of killers in this world" he said huskily, sliding his hand behind her back and urging her against his hard, powerful body. "You need to be careful."

Engulfed by a s****l excitement that shocked her, she pushed against him and lifted her mouth to his. "Is this right?"

It was crazy to allow herself to become this, touched by him, but how could she stop herself? It was as if her mind and her body were outside her control and she gave a low moan of encouragement as she felt his hands slide down her body, removing her costume in the process. In a matter of seconds she was naked but she didn’t even care because all she could think about was what he did to her.

"Bright …" She moaned his name against the slick muscle of his shoulder and felt the hot, hard throb of his arousal brush against her.

He clamped a hand behind her head and captured her mouth, his tongue creating an explosion of sensations that sent her whole body into meltdown.

She wriggled and writhed against him in an attempt to get closer still, her tiny and soft body, heard him mutter, "I want you more," and then he held her firmly and entered her with a smooth, sliding thrust.

The contrast between them was incredible, pulsing heat of his wolf-body made her cry out and her head fell backwards, her hair trailing in the air as he thrust into her with a rhythm so exquisitely perfect that she almost immediately lost control. Her body exploded around his and she heard his answering groan and felt the sudden increase in masculine thrust that heralded his own completion.
