Rob growled, showing fangs, and she gasped. She didn’t know they had fangs like that unless they’d already shifted. Maybe she should’ve gotten some additional information from Krista and Mikaela before walking into the lion’s den. Literally.
“Come,” Rob rasped. “Now.” His arms flexed within their bindings and Ariel went rigid, wondering if they’d hold.
Toby growled next to him, his eyes focused solely on his brother.
“We should get started,” Josh said.
“I-I have the medication right here.” Ariel started to step forward, but Josh threw his hand up, stopping her progression, and moved toward her, blocking her view from Rob.
And apparently Rob didn’t like that because a blood-curdling roar came from his direction.
Krista squeaked and jumped next to her at the same time Josh stepped to the side, allowing Rob to see his fill. Toby’s head snapped in Krista’s direction at her distress, then whipped toward Rob. He crouched in front of his brother, a menacing growl slipping past his lips. Ariel shivered. For some reason, the softer growl from Toby sounded more deadly and a hell of a lot more terrifying than the loud roar Rob made.
Rob hissed at Toby and wiggled in his chair, struggling to get free.
Josh stepped up and took the syringe from Ariel. “I’ll do it. You stay here.”
When Ariel starting giving Josh the instructions, Rob’s gaze flew to her and he snarled. She quickly finished the steps Josh needed to administer the medication and watched as he approached Rob from the side, making sure to not to block his view of Ariel.
She watched as Josh bent in front of Rob and blindly handed the needle over to Toby. When Josh grabbed the waistband of Rob’s jeans, Ariel swallowed. There was no turning back now. She watched in rapt fascination as Josh unfastened Rob’s jeans and slowly slid the zipper down so he could get to the injection site.
“Damn,” Ariel breathed when Rob’s rock hard erection sprang free. He was freaking huge!
Rob had been making low growls and hisses at his brother as he worked the closure on his jeans, but when Ariel spoke, his attention snapped back to her. His growl got softer, broken. What’s that… Is he purring?
“I think he likes that you find his, um, member impressive,” Krista whispered.
Toby looked at Krista and growled. “You shouldn’t be looking. You only look at me.”
Ariel watched as her sister fought a smile. But she turned to the side, giving her back to them. “Better, sweetie?”
His next growl sounded more like a groan. “I love your ass.”
She wiggled it and the animalistic sound got louder, playful.
“Chill, you two,” Mikaela said, then turned to Ariel. “Just like a couple of newlyweds.” She shook her head but smiled. “I think that’s good, Josh.”
“Okay, kitten. I want you and the other ladies to stay over there until we’re sure he won’t break free and the drugs are working.” Josh lifted his arm, needle poised for entry.
“Wait!” Ariel shrieked and quickly stepped forward. She needed to gather as much data as she could. “Can you tell me how you feel?” she asked Rob softly.
“Why don’t you grab my dick and tell me how I feel?”
“No.”
Rob roared. “That wasn’t a request. You will submit to me. You are mine.”
Without warning, Josh stabbed the needle into Rob’s hip. Rob yelped and hissed at his brother.
Ariel watched him as he struggled in his chair, trying to break free, growling and hissing at everyone, at no one.
Then minutes later, his movements eased, his head falling back as he gasped in air, sweat trickling down his temple. No one moved for what seemed like an eternity. Ariel just watched. Waited.
Rob slowly moved his head, his eyes seeking her. She held her breath as he found her, eager to hear him now that he’d received his first dose.
“I-I think I’m okay.”
“Do you feel like you need to mate with her?” Josh asked.
Rob frowned. “I believe I have control of myself. My lion.”
Ariel stepped closer and Toby tensed beside Rob.
“Can you tell me how you feel now?”
Rob chuckled. “I guess I can’t give you the same answer as before, huh?”
Ariel laughed nervously. He seemed relaxed. He wasn’t growling or hissing or fighting his restraints. She quickly scanned his body. Mostly relaxed. His penis was still fully erect. She turned to Josh. “Take his vital signs. Let’s make sure he’s not about to have a heart attack before I continue.” She dug into her bag, pulling out a swab kit. “And here, take this and swab the inside of his cheek while you’re at it.”
