“We don’t,” he mumbled. “I have them for Liam. I... I thought it would be better if I used it since we’re so close to the full moon.”

“That was very considerate of you,” she said, threading her fingers through his. “But isn’t Liam a little young to be thinking about sex?”

“Not for wolves. This will be his first full moon. His first season.”

“Oh,” she replied then stilled. “Oh. Oh wow. Do I say congratulations or something?”

Mackenzie chuckled. “No. It’d probably embarrass him. I’ve already had to pick him up from school due to it.”

She groaned. “Okay, as a woman, I think I can sympathize with him. I was twelve when I started my cycle for the first time, in school, during P.E..”

“Jesus,” Mackenzie muttered. “Did you call your mom?”

She shook her head. “No, I called my sister who had a free period in school. She brought me everything I needed.”

“She sounds like a great sister.”

“She was. Abby would have loved her mother. She’d probably have called me all kinds of names for going so long without doing this... Sex.”

He grinned. “Family, right? Kalkin gave me shit the first couple of years after I came home for not going out and finding someone during the full moon. What I never told him was that I’d essentially been impotent.”

“So, what makes now different?” she asked.

“Do you really want me to answer your question?” He didn’t want to pressure her, but she also deserved to know.

She rolled over and faced him once more. “Yes.”

“You,” he answered. “Finding you. It didn’t happen right away, but I guess it’d begun the night of the run and progressively gotten worse every time I came to your apartment.”

“Whoa.” She let out a breath. “That’s kind of intense.”

He nodded. “It is.”

The alarm on his clock went off and he cursed under his breath. “Well, looks like our playtime is over. Kids will be up soon.” He bent his head and kissed her. “If you’d like to grab a shower, take your time. I’ll have coffee and breakfast on the table by the time you come down.”

She bit her bottom lip and nodded. “Sure. Thanks. I won’t be long.”

“No rush.” He kissed her again then slipped out of bed.

“Hey Mac? What are you doing today?”

“Court. I have to testify again and so does Hayden and Emmitt,” he answered. “Why?”

She shrugged. “Do you think we could, you know, do this again? I could make dinner or something.”

“Don’t you have to work today?”

She shook her head. “Normal day off. I’ll go in on Sunday to make up for having last night off.”

“Sure. I’d like to have dinner with you,” he said.

“Great, when I take Abby to school, I’ll stop by the apartment and grab some clothes then head to the store. Anything in particular you want?”

“Yeah,” he replied, throwing the used condom into his waste basket. “The apple cake you made was really good. Think you can show this old dog how to make it?”

She laughed. “Only if you think old dogs can learn new tricks.”

Mackenzie pounced on her, yanking a startled cry from her. He kissed her again while wrapping his arms around her. His dick twitched and hardened once more. “I’ll show you, old dog.” He positioned his tip at her entrance and filled her once more. The wet heat of her sex engulfed him, and he groaned. “Shit. I shouldn’t be doing this. I could lose my head with you.”
