A few paddles had fallen on the floor from the door slamming shut. A rose-coloured flogger hung from the back of it and swung back and forth.The woman who’d stormed out hadn’t even bothered to apologise for what she’d done or had been trying to do.“Fuck!” Luka yelled. Pounding his fist on the railing in front of him, he steadied himself. The broad he’d just let go hadn’t been able to get him off. She wasn’t his mate— nor a very good submissive, either. Too many damn bitches trying to top from the bottom. Never try to top a wolf from the bottom. It was a dangerous thing to do, unless you wanted to be his dinner. Worse yet, this partner was human.Clutching a singletail with one hand, he lifted his free one to touch the gold, diamond-shaped pendant that swung against his sweat-covered chest. It hadn’t so much as warmed when he’d brought her into this room and stripped her. She was hot, too. Pert tits that thrust out, long, curly hair that swayed past her ass when she tilted her head back and gave him a glance at her exposed curves.
