“Feel better?”
“Much.”
“You smell good,” I say, nuzzling her neck.
“I’m all clean now and wide awake. What should we do next?” she whispers seductively.
I grin. “I think I have an idea.”
She smirks at me, wraps her arms around my neck, and pulls my mouth to hers. I put the threat of the other pack out of my mind as I get lost in my mate again.
ELEVEN
Mabel
“So?”I ask Dillon.
She groans. “I don’t want to talk about it.”
“Ah! You slept with Jensen! In the hospital?” I ask with a smirk.
“I just… I don’t know,” she groans. “It just happened.”
“Well, he had easy access with that hospital gown.”
“Mabel!” she shouts, blushing.
I laugh. “Was it good?”
“Yeah,” she mumbles.
“How good?”
“Well, I have nothing to compare it to, so…”
“So, it wasreallygood. Should I tell Jensen he was the best you’ve ever had?”
“Don’t you dare.”
“Are you two together now?”
“No.”
“Why not? The guy worships you.”
“I can’t get over the fact that he didn’t give me a choice. With my mom’s boyfriends, I…” She trails off, but she doesn’t need to go on.
I know what she’s talking about. A few of her mom’s boyfriends tried to sneak into her room. She was so worried about them. Sex and consent became so important for her. It was something she stressed over because she had to.
Jensen might have bitten her to save her life, but he didn’t have her consent. It’s an impossible situation, so I hold my tongue.
“I support whatever you decide. I just… Maybe you should look at your medical report once we leave here. It might shed some light on why he did it.”
“Maybe,” she agrees. “Now, tell me about you and your man.”
“Last night was perfect,” I sigh. “He’s perfect. He makes me feel so seen and cared for. He carries me around like I weigh nothing.”
She smiles at that, and I sigh happily.
