“No, I can guarantee it’s no threat. I’m just telling you how it’s going to be.”
Her tight heat surrounded him. She closed her eyes, arching her back, and he took the offering of her tits, sucking on the hard nipples.
Fuck, he couldn’t get enough of his wife.

Jenny didn’t expect to be so wet, but one touch from Liam, and she was ready for him. She wanted him more than anything else, craved him.
He was everything, even if she was a little pissed at him.
As he drove inside her, she reached down to stroke her clit.
“Fuck, baby, yeah, touch your pussy. Stroke it. Make yourself all nice and wet for me.”
Up against the corner of the shower, Liam fucked her. His thrusts pounded inside her, taking over completely.
She moaned his name as he bit down on her nipples, taking his time on each before using his tongue to tease her even more.
“Come for me. Let me feel you, Jenny. I want it all. Come all over my cock.”
Jenny came hard and Liam fucked her even harder, making her take all of him. She loved the feel of him. The thickness, the length, and she took all of him with relish. Finally, when he came, spilling his cum deep within her, she lay in his arms, spent. The last of her energy completely taken out of her.
He stroked her head. “I’ve got you.”
She didn’t need to question what he meant as he pulled out of her.
Liam held her close beneath the spray of the water, and he took care of her. He took his time, washing her body, her hair, caring for her.
Once he finished, he turned off the water and grabbed a towel. All this time, he didn’t let her go.
It was the first time in her life she felt truly … loved.
No, that couldn’t be right. She’d been loved growing up, but not like this. Liam cared about her. The way he touched her. The tenderness, it meant so much to her.
He dried her body, paying attention to her more than anyone else had. Then he pulled her close, pressing his face against her neck and breathing her in. She closed her eyes.
She released a scream as he suddenly picked her up within his arms and carried her back through to the bedroom. He pulled back the covers and lowered her under them.
“Stay here,” he said.
Jenny nodded. It wasn’t like she had the energy to go elsewhere.
She pulled the covers over her body, feeling the cold seeping into her bones. She didn’t entirely know what had happened tonight, and the truth was it scared her. Something big and bad was at that burning site. She didn’t understand the girl’s presence as she seemed just as frightened.
Her grandmother hadn’t come back.
“I know it’s not much, but it’s something,” Liam said, returning with a tray. She smiled as the microwavable meal of pasta with a couple of slices of bread warmed her heart.
“Thank you,” she said.
He left her alone, only to return with a tray for himself.
She expected him to sit beside her, but he took the spot opposite her, his tray balancing across his lap. His gaze stayed focused on her.
“Do you want to start by telling me why my men are afraid of you?” he asked.
“You saw that?”
“They’re supposed to be deadly men. The best kind to protect you, and yet you have them quaking in their boots. Why?”
She smiled. “Let’s just say I shared all of the name-calling from my youth, as well as the gossip of our upper elite, and told a few lies.” She shrugged. “It wasn’t hard to do. So many people don’t understand me. They think I’m some kind of witch. Years ago, they probably would have had me burned at the stake.” She sighed, taking a bite of pasta. The food wasn’t great, but it was something to eat.
If Liam had taken the time to cook, she wouldn’t have been able to see him now. His presence was enough to fill the empty, lonely void that had been placed in her heart.
“Do you want to tell me what happened at the building site?” he asked.
“Not really. I … I felt this need to go there. I don’t know why. It’s not like it did me any good.” The memory of the man, his beast, sent another spark of fear down her back.
Liam touched her and brought her back to reality. “You said your grandmother caused it.”
“I went there to see. I was told there were six deaths, but I’d seen three people. It wasn’t bad or anything. I had this feeling. I don’t know how to describe it, but it’s like a compulsion. Something lured me toward that building. I needed to go see it for myself. When I got there, I saw the little girl.” She stopped and frowned. “I never got her name. Do you know it?”
Liam shook his head. “No children were supposed to be near that building, Jenny. I promise you. She wasn’t meant to be there.”
“She was, and so was her mother.” She took a deep breath. “I think she’s trapped there. I don’t know.” She moved her food around, thinking about her.
“Do you want to tell me what led up to you passing out?”
She licked her lips. “The girl called him the bad man. When I looked at him, though, he wasn’t a man. Did one of your wolves die in that building?”
Liam shook his head. “No, all of them were civilians as far as I’m aware.”
“That can’t be right. He wasn’t human, Liam. Is there any way someone could be lying to you? I swear, that man was part wolf. His body had been transformed into an ugly, more cynical version of a wolf. He was scary, like he was draining the energy of the house. He had power. The lights flickered. I felt his rage. He hated me just on sight. The girl was terrified. She said he was mean, but she wasn’t allowed to leave. That he would disappear. My grandmother, before he could do anything, she was there, but in order for her to fight him off, she had no choice but to take my energy from me.”
“You know this all sounds a little…”
“Farfetched?”
“Little bit.” He held his fingers up and she laughed.
“It feels it, believe me.” She ran fingers through her hair. “I’m sorry.” She pushed her food away.
“Can you see your grandmother?” he asked.
