The soft, flickering flame that was distant appeared closer even though Daryn tried to resist its proximity. The soft silky wings on his back fluttered and started to burn but he couldn't help it. Like Icarus, he was drawn to the bright sun - overwhelmed by its warm light. The heat was so strong that it melted his wings. His attempts to go near it consumed him completely and it stifled him to the point that he woke up with a start. There was sweat on his body. The phone was buzzing constantly. He looked around and found Dawn draped around him like ivy. She was fast asleep with her head on his shoulder, her hair spread like ink on a paper, her arm over his chest, as her naked body pressed against his sternum and one leg was thrown over his thighs, just next to his hardness. Wait, he was hard? He couldn't believe that only seeing her like that made him hard. She was beautiful. Her bed was small, barely enough for her to move and he realized that he had slept in that position throughout the night. Spending the whole night with her was something he had only imagined. Seeing that she was asleep, he caressed her back. Sensing the movement, her eyes opened slightly. She nestled her head on his chest and looked up with her sleepy green eyes beneath those ruffled, sexed-up hair.

"Did you sleep well?" he asked, aware of her boobs pressing against him. He didn't move an inch for the fear that she would remove herself from him.

"Hmm," she replied as she brought her finger on his lips and traced them. They were perfectly arch-shaped, so kissable. Then she turned her head to put it on his chest. Waking up with him, on him, was something she would love to get used to. Her leg came up slightly and met his hardness. She flushed as his heat suffused her. She listened to his slow and steady heartbeat and let her hand wander to feel his abs. His body tensed under her light touch making his muscles jump under his skin.

"I would love to make more love to you, but someplace else," he said. His wolf clawed him on the inside. He grabbed her face in both his hands, leaned forward and kissed her deeply.

She wanted to discuss Maya, but after he kissed her, all she wanted was to have him inside her. He pulled away too soon from her. "A very good morning, Beautiful!"

Dawn chuckled. "Good morning." She got up from there. Everything changed in just one night. She had planned on leaving him, but she ended up being with him. "It is only 7AM and I think that you should get dressed for the office. There is a lot I need to do today as well and have to start early."

Supporting his head on his elbow on the pillow, he looked at her rising up. He frowned. He planned on spending the rest of his day with her. "What do you have to do? Stay," he whined as he saw her walking to the bathroom.

She lowered her eyes, "I have to set up my office and check my new apartment."

What? He sprung up from the bed, paced up to her, caught her waist and lifted her up. Anger rose in his chest.

"Daryn," she screamed. "Leave me!"

He brought her to the bed, sat down and made her lie in his lap. "Check your new apartment?" he said baring his teeth. Flipping her on her stomach, he grabbed her ass tightly. "You are not going anywhere!" he said.

She giggled. "Leave me Daryn," she said as she tried to wrestle out of his grip.

He pinned her back with his other muscular arm and spanked her on her cheeks.

"Ah!" she screamed as her butt burned with pain. But she loved it and was wet again. How could this man make her wet even though he was angry with her?

"Will you leave me?" he spanked again and asked.

She giggled and threw her legs in the air but she knew that he was too powerful for her to move much. "I have to set up my office."

More spanking followed. Her butt was red now. Suddenly a finger entered her from behind and he said, "You dare to leave me?" He moved it inside and out fast, hitting her walls with his soft strokes. Seconds later, her muscles in that area clenched and she came all around his finger.

Lovely!" he muttered. "Dawn, I have to tame you and make you submit to me." He couldn't help show that he was an Alpha and that he was a dominant Alpha of his pack. How could he let his woman take over? Suddenly he picked her up and placed her on the bed.

She felt like a toy, a puppet whom he treated as though she was weightless. He leaned over her and positioned his hardness near her entry point. His face was red with anger. He thrust himself inside her and her back arched. As he pushed himself deeper, he said, "You. Are. Not. Leaving. Me."

She brought her hands on his back and dug her fingernails in his flesh.

"Ah!" he loved it as pain seared through this back. His female was marking him. As he plowed her, his fangs grew and were now coated with his serum, ready to sink into her flesh and forever mark her as his. Which he couldn't do now. There were too many things to take care of. In frustration, he closed his eyes and rammed her until he came. He was this close. "Ms. Dawn, you infuriate me to the point of losing control," he said and sagged on her. He pressed her with his body and said, "Don't leave me, please." He buried his head in the middle of her chest and nuzzled it. He didn't come out. This was his home.

She stroked his hair and in a husky voice said, "Okay, but I would want you to keep our relationship private until you sort your mess out."

"I will."

"You can't reveal it or react to matters concerning me in public."

"So many deals?" he said and grabbed her nipples. He sucked them hard and realized that if he wanted all this he had to agree. "Okay," he said reluctantly.

"Good boy," she smiled. "Now I really need to take a bath, so leave me."

Daryn took a deep sigh and let her go. His phone buzzed once again. It was placed on Dawn's computer table. When Dawn walked past it, she saw Maya's name flashing on it. She stopped and stared at it for a moment, then picked it up and tossed it to him. "You should pick it up."

Daryn caught it and after seeing the name, he picked it. She had given him over twenty missed calls.

"Darlinnngggg!" her honeyed voice chimed. Daryn looked up at Dawn and found her glaring at him. She opened her bathroom door and banged it close.

To say that she was jealous was an understatement.

"What is it?" Daryn asked with fury rising inside him. She had successfully ruined his morning. "I asked you not to call me. I thought you were too depressed and still moping in The Silver Manor."

"Daryn, Irene insisted that she needed my interview and I was so unhappy over the past few days, so I just told her what my heart felt. It's not my fault that she wrote it like that." Maya's voice was low. Then after a pause she said, "When will you come home baby? I miss you terribly."
