Zarah growled, and I picked up a faint musky scent, earthy and masculine, that became stronger with each passing second. Alpha Kane smirked. Zarah growled again, this time louder.

"Leo, please stop, not so fast!" I panted hard, my fingers clenching the edge of the table as he overwhelmed me with the intensity of his thrusts. "When you beg for pleasure, you should be able to handle it when I give you some." He growled against my ear, sinking his teeth into the side of my neck, sending a jolt of pleasure. The pleasure kept building so quickly that it made my vision turn black. It was pure rapture. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~~**~*~ Penny Williams is an orphan who works for her uncle and tends to the horses on the palace grounds.
