Sally's POV
I attempt to shift discretely, squeezing my legs together, but they all sense the movement immediately.
Karl's embrace grows firmer around me, his body going rigid. He nuzzles into my hair, and a deep rumble vibrates through his chest.
Philip tenses beside me, his hand on my leg gripping almost painfully tight. His wolf surfaces in his gaze, and I can see him fighting every impulse to maintain control rather than dragging me onto his lap.
Sean draws in a sharp breath on my other side. His fingers interlock with mine before he brings my hand to his lips, placing a gentle kiss there.
Ajax becomes motionless. Completely frozen. His jaw sets hard, as if he's battling against his own reactions.
The atmosphere grows dense with desire and primal need. The connection between us pulses stronger, demanding we move closer. I draw in an unsteady breath as the burning sensation intensifies until remaining still becomes impossible.
