Zoe’s POV I leapt for the door as soon as we pulled up in front of the hospital, but Dillon caught me around the waist and hauled me back before I could slip out. “Dillon! Let me go!” I demanded, “I need to get to the lab.” “I understand that, baby doll, and I will make sure you get there. But there is no way in fuckin’ hell you are getting out of this car naked!” He protested I looked down at myself and was startled to find he was right. My thoughts had gone from dazed, guarding me from the trauma I had yet to process, to laser-focused on the idea formulating in my mind. There had been no room for anything else, not even my state of undress. “Damn!” I muttered under my breath. “Can I wear your shirt?” Dillon was already pulling off his t-shirt and dragging it over my head. He helped me out of the SUV and I started for the front door again. But again, he pulled me back. “Too much skin.” He grumbled, eyes trained on my bare legs. He grabbed the blanket from the car an

Dillon’s POV Zoe coiled her arms around my neck then sucked my earlobe into her warm mouth as I carried her to our room. Between her hot kisses, her lush body melting into me and my weeks long self-imposed celibacy, my cock was harder than steel and aching with the need to be sheathed in the wet heat of her pussy. The slick dripping from her core as she grinded over my bulge didn’t help matters either. “Fuck, baby doll! Keep that up and this will be over before it starts.” I warned her. “Mmm.” Her hummed response was the only indication she’d heard me at all. When we reached the bed, Zoe refused to unlock her legs from around my waist, pressing herself even closer when I’d tried to pry her off so I could lay her down. Instead, I tumbled down with her in my arms, landing on top of her and fusing my lips to hers. I dominated our kiss, plundering her mouth with my tongue, tasting every inch of her. The kiss was a message, demanding she submit to me, lay back and let me take ca

Dillon’s POV “Mornin’ baby doll.” I pulled Zoe back tight against my chest and nibbled on her neck. “Mornin’ cowboy.” She mimicked my southern drawl, the warm breath from my laugh making her shiver as it washed over her ear.. She stretched in my arms, arching her back and pressing her delectable little ass against my morning wood. I slid my hand up under the t-shirt she wore to bed, drawing lazy circles on the soft skin of her belly. “I can’t wait to feel you round with my pup.” I whispered in her ear, nipping at the tender lobe. “Really?” She laughed. “You hold Olivia once and now you have baby fever?” “I’m pretty sure I’ve had a little baby fever since the day the Goddess gave you to me. Holding that little bundle of joy just turned it up a notch.” She turned to face me and I pulled her in for a heated kiss, sliding my hands to her ass and grabbing a handful. I trailed my tongue along her bottom lip and she opened for me, moaning into my mouth as I deepened the kiss. The want

Dillon’s POV It was late by the time our flight landed in Ashmouth. Zoe had wanted to go straight to the lab but I insisted she get a few hours rest then she could get started first thing in the morning, refreshed and alert. She pouted during the entire taxi drive to campus but she didn’t argue with me. She’d called ahead to arrange for us to stay in her old apartment on campus. I had offered to book a hotel but she wanted to be close to the lab. Plus she knew a few research students who stayed on campus that she thought might be able to help if she needed to talk through some ideas. I’d felt out of place amidst the college crowd the one time I’d visited and didn’t expect that to change but I would do it for Zoe’s sake. I’d been so amped up the entire flight due to Zoe’s anxiety pulsing through our bond, I hadn’t realized what a toll the day had taken on me. But by the time we made it to her dorm, exhaustion hit us both fast and hard. We dropped our bags inside the front door and

Dillon’s POV “No! Just fuck no!” I roared, the sound echoing off the four walls of the small office we’d gathered in. “Dillon, I need to do this!” Zoe argued. The minute we’d arrived back in Glass Lake, we contacted the Alphas to let them know Zoe and Dr. Knolls had been successful in creating a substance that could incapacitate the Dark Fae army. We had left Dr. Knolls at the lab to work on procuring the materials to mass produce the poison while we met to discuss the way this new development might change our approach to the coming war. The Alphas, Luna, betas and their mate, Queen Raine and King Jarrah of the Light Fae, Zoe and I were all crowded into the office to discuss our options. Currently, Zoe was attempting to convince us that she should be the one to sneak into their camp, attempt to contaminate their water supply, and sneak back out undetected. Alone. That just wasn’t gonna fuckin’ happen! “They captured you once and you barely survived it. For months you were h
