“Oh, I’m …” I start to stammer.

“Run,”Renall interrupts and dashes up the stairs.

Choking on a set of giggles, I dash after him, holding my clothes over my lady bits, hoping the faster I run, the less likely they will be able to see anything. I catch up to Renall quickly and we laugh as we stumble into our room stark naked.

Breathlessly catching my breath, I mutter, “Oh my God, I think ten people saw my naked ass.”

“So?”he chuckles,“People have seen my ass dozens of times.”

“I’ve only been here a month or so, and I’ve seen it hundreds of times. The pack here must have seen it an infinite number.”

He smirks over his shoulder.“You sound like you’re complaining.”

“No.” I smack his bare ass with the back of my hand. “It doesn’t hurt when it’s so nice to look at.”

His eyes darken and my nipples pebble as he releases a soft, tempting growl. In two strides he has me pinned against the wall. Then he kisses me. Maybe kiss is the wrong word. He worships me with his mouth. Exploring, tempting, teasing me. Until he slips from my mouth and lazily trails more luxurious kisses down my jaw, my neck, then my chest. He acts like he has all the time in the world as he explores my nipples before fiery kisses tingle down my abdomen. They are nothing compared to the fire already raging between my thighs. By the time he reaches it, he swings my leg over his shoulder as he presses a kiss between my legs. I practically buck off the wall at the contact. A delicious growl vibrates through me, and I have to grip his hair for support. He takes that moment to swing my other leg around his other shoulder, pushing me harder against the wall and taking full control. His tongue explores me as he stands to his feet, sliding me up the wall with him. Gods, I’m completely at his mercy on his shoulders. It’s absolutely sexy, the pressure already building, so close to coming undone.

I’m unable to stop the sounds falling from my lips as that glorious tongue explores me before swirling around my clit. I scream as I come. But Renall doesn’t stop. He teases and swirls as I squirm against him. My heels digging into his back. Screaming louder and louder until seconds later I’m coming again, this time stronger, and my legs tremble behind his head.

He slides me down the length of his body. His nose sliding up the naked length of me as he places me on wobbly legs. He still has me pinned to the wall, which is great because I don’t think I can stand on my own, probably ever again. Renall leans in, placing his forehead to mine. His beard still wet with my release. His eyes closed, content.

Breathless and trembling, I whisper, “I never imagined it would be like this.”

“We have a strong bond. A soulbond, if I’m correct.”

“I keep hearing that, but what does it actually mean to you?”

“You’re my Guardian, my one true mate.”

“How do you know that I’m your mate and not just another Guardian?”

“The true mate is a stronger bond; it’s said to be your equal in every way.”

“We don’t feel very equal.”

“Maybe not yet ...”Renall places his lips to my forehead and kisses me.“But we will be.”

I nod before lowering my head back onto the crook of his shoulder.

“I thank the Goddess every day I wake up and you’re still here.”

“You risked a lot to do that, why?”

“I could feel you and I couldn’t stop myself. Your pain, your heart called to me, needed me. How could I not have answered?”

I shiver remembering how broken I was after Colton. In some ways, I’m still broken. I don’t know where I would be if he hadn’t. “I’m glad you did.”

“So am I.”

We were inevitable. This bond, this link between us isn’t just going to disappear. If anything, it’s going to grow. There is no point in trying to outrun it. He’s a part of me now—whether I like it or not.

His nose is nuzzled against my ear when he starts nibbling it. I moan again, it would have been embarrassingly loud if it wasn’t for the chorus of moaning now resounding around all edges of the cave. He hardens against me. Oh Gods, again? I will never look at a full moon the same ever. I slip my hands down his body and grip his ass closer to me. If I wasn’t afraid of what would happen if I took my tampon out, I’d want him inside me. The need for him on a full moon will never be sated.

Once again, pure primal instinct takes over. I flip him and pin him to the wall, deepening our kiss. His eyes widen in surprise as he groans into my mouth. I’m left breathless and drunk off his kiss as I pull away. He watches me for a moment before leaning forward to take my lips again. With a naughty smile, I place a finger on his lips and playfully push him back.

Then I drop to my knees and pull the hard length of him into my mouth as he growls,“Oh Gods …”
