Chapter 5
Thea disregarded the warning growl in Marko’s tone. She didn’t care about his warnings. She didn’t care that she was acting like a whore. She didn’t care about anything except him spearing into her.
“S-something’s wrong with me. There was something in that dart. You have to fix this!” She needed him to come buried deep inside her like she needed her next breath. Unable to stop herself, her fingers left her mouth and then trailed back down to the pool of white fluid that settled in the hollow of her hip. She slid her fingers through it and inched lower.
“Don’t!” Marko growled but did nothing to stop her. On the contrary, his eyes were glued to her hands as if transfixed.
“Fix me, Marko! Save me!”
He seemed almost mesmerized as he watched her fingers sluice through his seed and then lower inch by inch. When she slid two semen-coated fingers into her pussy, Marko jerked to his knees with a snarled, “Goddamn you!”
Her hand was shoved aside, and before she could take a breath, he was balls deep inside her. One hard thrust and the crown of his cock kissed the mouth of her womb. It. Was. Rapture.
Thea screamed and arched, wrapping her legs around his hips to anchor him inside her as she demanded. “Hard, Marko. Fuck me hard!”
And he did.

Marko fucked her like a man possessed. Release found them both, but it wasn’t enough. It was never enough. He fucked her pussy, and then he devoured it with his mouth while she sucked him deep into her throat. She begged for more, and he claimed her over and over before finally taking her in the ass. He’d never come so much in his life, and he’d never enjoyed fucking more. And that’s exactly what it was. There was no love being made, it wasn’t sex. It was absolute carnal, down and dirty fucking. More than once his animals had surged to the fore and to his utter disbelief, instead of being horrified at his partial shifts, Thea was turned on. She squeezed him tighter, sucked him deeper, fucked him harder. Hell, she’d even bit into his shoulder, which had his beasts fighting him for control. They wanted to mark her too, and he had. Hickeys covered her neck and breasts, and the impression of his own teeth marred her shoulder. She was his undoing. Any hope he’d held of holding off until Delain could get back to him had been dashed the second he scented her heated little pussy in the truck.
Now, hours later, Thea slept hard. She’d finally passed out, and he was both relieved and worried. He’d been rough, and she’d taken it. She’d taken it too long. Any other woman, including a Walker, would have gone out hours before, but she hadn’t.
Standing, he turned to ensure she was covered. She’d been burning up earlier, and he’d prayed it was from exertion. Now, her cheek felt smooth and cool. Angling his head, he brushed damp hair back from her face. Her once pale skin was flushed, her lips pink and plump from use. He was shocked to find that his cock stirred at the thought.
Sick fuck! He self-admonished.
Snatching up his pants, he padded quietly from the darkened room, closing the door softly behind him. He dressed in the hall before stepping into the front room where the door to the cabin still stood wide open. He stepped over broken pieces of wood to stalk, barefoot, out to the truck. Opening the door, he heard the crackle in the comm link before he even put it on.
“This is Marko.”
“Where in the fuck have you been?” StoneCrow’s Chief of Security, King Mulholland snarled.
“Taking care of Thea, King. Where’s Monroe? I need answers.”
“He’s preoccupied.” King’s anger seemed to fade. “The Domina’s been injured, and we’ve got several missing from the estate, including a Keeper.”
Marko plowed a hand through his hair. “Fuck!”
“Yeah. Fatal isn’t taking things well. He’s pissed.”
“Who else is missing?”
King sighed. “Aside from the Keeper, one of our female Sentries is gone, and Ash is missing too, along with our vet tech.”
“Sofia?”
“Yeah.”
“She’s human, she can’t protect herself.”
“The female Sentry is human too. It’s Nyree, but she can handle herself…hopefully.”
“Jesus!”
“We also had two Walkers that were wounded, and one Keeper has a wounded Soul Sentry. How’s Thea doing?”
Marko shook his head. “She’s alive. Do you have any answers? What in the fuck did they shoot her with? Was anyone else tranq’d.”
“No one else was tranq’d. Stoney got information from the Blackbird wolf pack. Seems they’ve heard of tranqs being used by other shifters. Lust tranqs, they call ‘em, and they’ve been used against their females.”
“Against? You mean on?”
“No,” King asserted. “I mean against. Apparently, it puts a female shifter into an instantaneous heat. She needs to be taken, and it doesn’t matter by whom. There are even reports of females dying from the drug if the female isn’t…well…satisfied. Shifters were using this on enemy packs to claim females and take them away.”
“My God!” Marko let his head fall back as regret seared him.
“She’s alive, so I’m assuming you, eh, took care of her?”
“Yeah,” his head fell forward. “There was nothing else I could do. She…”
“No need to explain yourself to me. Where are you at? I’ll send a team.”
Marko eyed the area. “I thought I was somewhere near the Valley of the Deer, but I…I couldn’t fucking focus.” He hung his head as shame filled his voice. “She smelled so damn good.”
“I can hear it in your tone, but you can’t beat yourself up over this. Like I said, this tranq was designed for shifters. Dell Blackbird had no idea what it would do to a human. You most likely saved her life, Marko.”
“Yeah, but she was drugged out of her mind, King, and I…”
“Saved her life!” King finished firmly. “That’s all that matters. She lives. Now find out where you’re at so I can send a team. You gotta be further than the Valley because I’ve been trying to contact you through the mist and you're outta range.”
That meant nothing though because Marko had difficulties with his Skin Walker abilities since he’d been released from captivity. The mist didn’t always work for him and his shifts often didn’t last long.
“Get back to me soon,” King commanded. “We’ll come pick you up. We don’t really know much about what they injected Thea with, and Jenny wants her here ASAP.”
“Alright,” he muttered. He didn’t want to be flown back in until he had time to smooth things over with Thea. The last thing he wanted was for her to feel taken advantage of. For Thea to be fucked and then flown home where everyone waiting would know what had happened between them was going to be a hard pill for her to swallow. He knew the whole thing was going to be hard for her to handle. So, he’d call in for a ride when she was ready.
