She opens her mouth to apologize, chastising herself for being stupid when Cole cups her face in his hands and returns the kiss, pressing his lips furiously against hers.

Bree hasn’t been kissed inages, but she’s certain this is the best kiss she’s ever had in her life. He tastes delicious—minty, citrusy, and woodsy, just like his scent, and he’s pushing her up against the outside wall of the cabin before she can think.

She gasps against his mouth and parts her lips slightly as his tongue licks the inside of her mouth, and she almost loses her footing. The keys that were in her hand fall to the ground as she clutches at his shoulders, gripping the muscles of his arms and running her hands down his chest.

When he finally pulls away from her so she can breathe, he chuckles against her neck and presses kisses against her sensitive skin. “I knew I was right,” he breathes, one handaround her waist as the other pushes her hair out of the way to suck at her skin.

She lets out a moan. “About what?” she rasps, closing her eyes as she tugs at his dark hair. Her fingers run through the silky strands, and she pulls at his scalp, eliciting a delicious growl from him.

“You feel it too,” he whispers, pushing her sweater out of the way to nibble at her collarbone. “The pull.”

She groans, her head falling back against the wall with athudas he continues sucking at her delicate skin. She’s certain he’s going to leave dark marks, but she doesn’t care.

She wants him to mark her. She wants to feel like she belongs to someone.

“The pull?” she chokes out, and his lips find hers again, silencing her question. She moans into his mouth, her cunt pulsing in her jeans as slick drips into her panties.

“The connection,” he says against her lips. “I knew it the minute I scented you.Fuck.”

He’s spewing nonsense, but she doesn’t care. All she knows is that he makes her feel good, and if he wants to believe that they’re meant to find each other, so be it, as long as she keeps feeling likethis.

He kisses her like they’ve been apart for ages, and they’ve finally reunited.

Nothing has felt this right to her.Nothing.

And it’s all happening outside a cabin in Green Woods.

She’s soaking through her underwear. Her womb painfully aches, and he pauses his movements when she gasps at the sudden sensation.

It’s a Heat cramp, dangerously early.

“What is it?” he asks, one hand still caressing her face. He runs his thumb along her lip as she breathes deeply, hoping the cramps don’t continue.

She focuses on his face. His pupils are so wide that theydrown out the blue of his irises, and his lips are swollen from kissing her. His hair is a mess; ruffled from when she was running her hands through the strands.

“I…” but she’s transfixed, unable to give her answer as she wraps her arms around his neck. “Sorry, I just got flustered for a moment. I don’t normally do this.” She motions between them, her heart beating wildly in her chest.

He smirks, then pulls her in for another kiss, and thankfully the pang in her abdomen doesn’t return.

She doesn’t know how long he continues to devour her, but once his hands start pushing her sweater down her shoulder, she doesn’t realize until it’s too late what he’s doing.

He finds her mating gland and nuzzles it with his cheek, marking her with his scent.

“Oh—oh,fuck,” the words fall from her mouth, and he chuckles against her delicate skin. He gently licks at her mating gland, and she sees stars.

She doesn’t know she’s coming until she’s gripping at him desperately and muffling her cries into him. She bites down on his shoulder, trembling against him as she soaks herself and jerks against his touch.

His scent is everywhere, invading and serenading the deepest parts of her until all she can feel is Cole.

And he didn’t even bite her.

Her release comes as much as a surprise to her as it does to him, because he pulls away from her mating gland to gaze down at her, his lips parted in shock.

“You’re even more perfect than I realized,” he rasps.

Her head spins with his words. She’s not perfect, and he doesn’t even know her…

But she grinds against the front of his jeans, feeling his obvious erection pushing against her stomach. She wants more and doesn’t care that it’s all happening outside where anyone could see or hear them.
