It was a stressful line to walk. Catamaran was slowly learning the girl's temper and had yet to trip across any lines that led to true altercations. Not since that first night, at least. But he was still not sure how far he could push and still have her be receptive — as receptive as this could be called — to his demands.
And he did want her receptive. He hadn't cared one way or another when he'd made this deal, but things were better this way. He did not want to arouse true anger. He did not want to instill active fear.
In truth, he'd never understood men who hurt their women. The urge had sometimes overtaken him, but the results had never satisfied. But this satisfied him — to a certain degree, at the very least.
The bounty hunter was not done with the game before his storm was, and there was a part of him that did earnestly desire her throat in his jaws. But he turned to mimicking her instead, preening and grooming first her face, and then her neck and shoulders if allowed. If Seastorm truly paid attention, she might see that it was Catamaran who was being corrected — but his possessiveness still shone through.
"I want you to smell like me," he said to the soft fur between her shoulder blades. From another man, the words might have seen amorous. From Catamaran, they sounded strategic. A plan of action. He hoped that his scent would cause other males in the pack to think twice about laying hands on her. He hoped, too, that her scent could be disguised and hidden from her siblings.
They would have to move deeper into the territory. Catamaran didn't want to — did not even want to stay, if this was how they felt about the trees — but Seastorm needed the extra layer of protection.
For now.
