room and slammed the door behind him. He didn’t care that everyone could probably see how angry he was. All that mattered was that woman’s hand on his mate’s skin. It needed to come off, and fast!
    “Kellie,” he called out, the sound coming out as a low growl.
    She took a quick step back. The woman’s hand lowered until it rested on the examination table.
    “Yes, doctor?” Kellie replied.
    “Can you please see if someone else is waiting? Otherwise, I believe we’ll be able to close early for lunch.” Because if he didn’t have her soon, he was bound to explode.
    “Sure. No problem. I’ll go do that right now.” Without even saying goodbye to their patient, she hurried out of the room.
    When she was gone, he turned to face his patient and realized she was looking at him as if he were the devil. Or maybe, an opponent. Yes, that was it. Taking a deep breath, he squared his shoulders and took a few steps forward until he was towering over her. “How are you feeling today, Miss Hollins?”
    “I was fine until…”
    “Until?” he asked, his lion pressing forward, his voice taking that Alpha tone he usually hated. Today, he rejoiced in it. If she thought she could amuse herself with his mate, she was sadly mistaken. Kellie was his. Only his.
    “Nothing. I…I should go.” She moved off the table and walked to the door, only to stop at the last possible minute. Staring at him over her shoulder, she asked, “She doesn’t know about the mating, does she?”
    He growled, the sound echoing around the room. She stilled, her lioness watching him from widened eyes.
    “If you say one word about this to her, one word, Miss Hollins…” He stopped before he actually threatened her. Considering his hands had sprung nails, she probably understood him perfectly well.
    Her voice low, her body pressed tight against the door, she nodded, acknowledging his position as a Pride dominant. “I won’t. Just…take care of her.” She hurried out of the room on those final words.
    “I will,” he answered, closing his hands once they were back to normal. “I will.”

    Kellie was sitting in the break room when Nate strode in after having locked the front doors. It was their lunch break, and she usually spent it alone in here while he went out to…do whatever he did during his time off. But this time, he’d told her to wait here, and so that what’s she’d done. She was anxious, worried about what’d happened with Jane, worried about what he might say. Her lioness was still conspicuously absent, and that felt wrong too somehow. God, can’t I ever be happy? she asked herself, shaking her head at her silly self.
    The door swayed closed, and she turned around, a smile appearing on her face at the sight of him. He didn’t stop, simply kept on walking until he was right in front of her. Then he leaned down, fisted his hand in her hair and took her mouth for a hard kiss.
    She gasped at the sudden caress. He didn’t give her time to get acclimated to him, simply grabbed her shoulders and pulled her up without asking her if that was all right. He plastered her body against his, his hands finding her ass, his hips anchoring hers. She moaned into his mouth, moaned even more when he pulled back and nipped her lower lip.
    “God. Nate!”
    “Keep calling out my name, baby,” he murmured as he let his head fall, his mouth finding the curve of her neck. He nuzzled her there, tonguing that one spot that made her shake all over.
    She grabbed the back of his head and held on tight. Her back was arched, her legs widening so she could feel the hard length of him through her scrubs. He felt so big, so damn hot against her, too. Her insides pulsed again, reminding her how empty she’d been for so long. Hell, she couldn’t wait for him to thrust into her. He was going to fill her like no one ever had before… She just knew it.
    Two seconds later, she found herself sitting on the table. The coldness of the glass top hit her,
