Chapter 56

“actions speak louder than words.” *) Aleksandra Layland

I could hear Griffin grow! in surprise as I bit into his skin ~ he hadn’t been expecting it. Still, I kept my teeth latched onto

his warm skin, digging into the flesh.

It was only when he unlatched his teeth from my neck and I could no longer feel his teeth embedded in his skin that I

stopped biting him.

Surprisingly, I could feel very little pain from the claiming bite. There was a dull ache and I registered something hot and warm running down my shoulder ~ blood? ~ but that was it. It certainly didn’t feel like someone had just sunk their

fangs into me.

“What a little wild fox you are,” Griffin whispered, his eyes still wide in surprise. There was something else there too –

touch the mark I’d left on his skin.

Although it was less than a minute old, I could already see the mark fading on his bronze skin. The swollen indent of my

teeth was beginning to fade to purple. It would be completely gone within minutes. Chapter 56

I can’t say I didn’t know what would happen. I’m not sure why I expected it to stay or why I’m so disappointed it won’t.

While | stared at the fading mark, Griffin leaned down and began licking at my own claiming bite. I wasn’t prepared for

the wave of pleasure that rocked through me as soon as his hot tongue met the mark, It went straight to my core — like

he’d set every nerve ending on fire.

“My God,” I moaned, my head falling back to give him better access.

I felt Griffin grin against my neck. “Oh, I didn’t tell you? There are a few…side-effects that come with a claiming bite.”

“No, you did not,” I hissed. “Nobody did.” It was hard to stay mad when every touch against the mark left me a tingly mess.

How did werewolf sex education manage to leave this part out? They didn’t think it was important to tell us that

touching the mark literally turns you on?

“My poor little fox,” Griffin’s tone was mocking. By the way he continued to drag his tongue across the mark, I could tell

he wasn’t sorry at all.

“Does it…does it feel like this every time someone touches the mark?” I asked, and I had to strain to get the words out. It

was hard to focus on anything but the sensations Griffin’s touch was bringing out in me. Chapter 56

Griffin growled and I felt him nip at the mark ~ just enough to make me gasp. “No,” he growled, “Only I can make you

feel this way when I touch my mark. If someone else so much as tries to touch you here – or touch you at all – ’ll kill them,
