“Miranda? Are you sure?” Olivia frowned at her.
Miranda leaned in, pressing her mouth against Olivia’s ear so she would hear her over the pounding beat of the music.

“I’m sure. He’s cute, right?”

“I guess.”

The guy gave her a light slap on the ass and she held her hand up in a ‘one minute’ gesture.

“What if you lose control?” Olivia asked.

“I won’t. If the instructors ask where I am, just tell them I’m puking in the bathroom and you’ll check on me in a couple of minutes.”

Olivia wrinkled her nose. “Have you had that much to drink?”

“Nah, but they don’t know that. It’ll be fine. I’ll be back in five minutes.”

“If it only takes five minutes, he’s not doing it right,” Olivia said solemnly.

Miranda laughed as the man tugged on her arm. “Yeah, I know. I’ll be back, just cover for me, okay?”

“Okay.” Olivia gave her an anxious look as Miranda followed her soon-to-be-booty-call off the dance floor.

Miranda, what are you doing? She ignored her inner voice and took his hand as he led her through the crowd of people. She glanced quickly at the instructor’s table. Mannie was staring intently at Olivia, Selena and Chen hadn’t noticed she’d left the dance floor – at least she didn’t think Chen had, it was kind of difficult to tell with him – and Ryder was nowhere in sight.

Her human side breathed a sigh of relief, her wolf side made an undignified whine. She’d spent most of the night drinking and dancing and avoiding being anywhere close to Ryder. She would spend most of her training with him being humiliated repeatedly because he would smell her lust for him. She didn’t need him smelling it on her on her one night away from the goddamn facility.

The guy pushed open the exit door and she followed him out into the alley. The smell of garbage was almost overwhelming, and she resisted covering her nose as the man grinned at her. “You ready to feel good, sweet thing?”

She made herself laugh, hoping it sounded more natural than it felt, as the guy pushed her up against the wall and kissed her neck. It was wet and sloppy, and his piercing was bugging her skin. She closed her eyes and tried to make herself feel something for him.

You don’t even know his name and you’re letting him feel you up in an alley stinking of garbage. What is wrong with you? her inner voice said.

There was nothing wrong with her. She had needs and – she smelled Ryder’s scent a second before she heard his angry growl and the human was ripped away from her with a startled yelp.

Ryder threw the human into the wall of the building across the alley. The man staggered to his feet, rubbing his arm and giving Ryder an angry look.

“What the fuck is wrong with you, man? I don’t even know you, I don’t even… what the fuck? Are your eyes…glowing?”

Ryder growled again, a low angry sound rising out of his chest that made goosebumps break out across her skin. Her eyes widened as the seams of Ryder’s t-shirt ripped. He stalked across the alley toward the human.

Oh shit.

Without thinking, she leaped onto Ryder’s back and wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his thick throat. She’d excelled at hand-to-hand combat training, and she applied the chokehold that Mannie had taught her as Ryder made a strangled noise of rage.

“What the fuck?” Her booty-call partner whispered. He was staring up at Ryder and Miranda squeezed harder as she glared at the human.

“Get out of here. Go!”

The human didn’t hesitate. He turned and ran out of the alley without looking back.

Some fucking Prince Charming he was turning out to be.

Ryder made a choking noise, and she released him and jumped gracefully to the ground. He turned toward her, and a soft whine of submission slipped from her throat.
“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry,” she said.

She backed away as Ryder stalked toward her. His eyes were glowing bright jade and a thick beard covered his lower jaw.

“You were-were flipping out. You were gonna shift and kill him. I had no choice.” Her ass hit the brick wall, and she cast her eyes downward as Ryder rested his hands on the wall on either side of her head. She was trapped, and her wolf whined eagerly as the scent of autumn and apples filled her nose.

“I was not going to shift,” he growled.

“You were,” she muttered defiantly.

“Do you think I’m like you, little wolf? A half-breed who has no control over their wolf side?”

She glared up at him, her desire to submit to him replaced with red-hot anger. “Fuck you! I have control! You were the one growling and growing a goddamn beard in front of a human.”

He bared his fangs at her and she stared at the ground again. Fuck, she hated that she wanted to submit to him, but she kind of liked it too, if her suddenly wet pussy was any indication.

“I know what you were going to do with him,” Ryder said. “It’s against the rules.”

“No, it isn’t. It’s against the rules to fuck other recruits and instructors. There’s nothing in the rules about fucking -”

He growled loudly, and she glared at him. “You know what? We aren’t at the facility, and you have no right to tell me what to do. Get away from me.”

“You are not fucking a human tonight.”

“I’ll fuck a human if I want to,” she said. “It’s my night off, and you can’t stop me.”

She tried to duck under his arm, gasping when he grabbed her arms and pulled them over her head. He pinned them against the wall with one big hand and grinned at her.

“You’re an asshole,” she snarled.

“You’re not fucking a human.”

“I am. I am, and you can’t -”

“What if you lose control?”

She swallowed and tried not to notice the way her breasts were almost touching his hard chest. “I-I won’t.”

“You almost did before. What makes this different?”

Colour infused her cheeks. “You were eavesdropping?”

He didn’t even have the decency to look embarrassed. “Perhaps you should lower your voice when speaking to your friends about your sex life.”

“I hate you!” she spat.

“The feeling is mutual.”

Her fangs dropped, and she bared them at him as her eyes glowed. He grinned at her. “You’re just proving my point about not keeping control when you want to fuck someone.”

“I don’t want to fuck you.”

Huh, that almost sounded true, even to her. She lost ten of the mental points she scored herself when he leaned in and licked her neck. Her nipples tightened, wetness flooded her pussy, and a low moan slipped out.

“I can smell how wet you are for me, little wolf,” Ryder whispered into her ear. “Wet and ready for my cock.”

Now she could smell his arousal. She swallowed hard. “You-you’re turned on too.”

“A little,” he said. “My wolf is not as picky as I am about who it mates with.”

She glared at him. “You’re such an asshole. Let go of me.”

“So that you can find another human to try to fuck? I don’t think so. You’ll lose control, and we’ll be stuck trying to explain to a human why you suddenly grew fangs and bit him.”

He leaned closer and sucked on her earlobe. “That’s what you want to do, isn’t it? Bite and scratch while you fuck?”

“No,” she whispered. “No, I don’t want that. I’m not a-a monster.”

“But you will bite. You will scratch. You’ll tear a human to pieces if you try and fuck them.”

“I won’t,” she insisted. “I have better control.”

His big hand cupped her left breast and she moaned, her back arching as he brushed his thumb over her hard nipple. Too quickly, he moved his hand to her abdomen and rested it there.

“I have an idea, little wolf.” His fingers traced the button on her jeans. “If you can prove to me that you won’t lose control when you come, I’ll let you fuck any human you want this evening.”

“I – what do you mean?”

He was still holding her arms above her head in a hard grip and she pulled experimentally. His hand tightened, holding her completely captive, and pleasure trickled down her spine.

His free hand popped open the button on her jeans and pulled down the zipper. She should have been stopping him, should have been kicking and biting and scratching to be free. Instead, she parted her legs and made a low eager whine when he slid his hand into her panties. He touched the soft curls at the top of her pussy.

“I’m going to make you come. If you keep control, then you can fuck a human. Do we have a deal?”
