“Wait.”
“For what?”
“I need five minutes again.”
“I’ll give you two.Turn the shower on when you’re ready for me to join you.”
I hurried out of bed and shut myself in the bathroom.When I glanced at the mirror, I saw I had several kiss marks on my body.One over my heart.One on my neck.One just under my belly button, and when I looked down, I saw two on the inside of my thighs from when he’d been down there last night.
He seemed to really like kissing methere.I definitely didn’t mind it since it always ended with me feeling good and nicely relaxed.
“You’re wasting time,” he said from the other side of the door.
“I’m going to kick you out of my room if you’re going to stand right outside the bathroom.”
“Two minutes.Leaving now.”
I hurried to do my business and turned on the water.He didn’t come in until I’d already quickly washed some important parts.But when he did walk in, he was completely nude.
This time, I didn’t look away.I took in the sight of his broad, muscled shoulders, chiseled torso, and…I swallowed hard at what lay not-so-limply between his powerful thighs.
“You’re frowning,” he said.
I stopped and turned away from him to wet my face.
His hands stroked down my back.
“Why were you frowning?”he asked, kissing my shoulder that wasn’t in the water since I was still making an effort to keep the bandage covering my stitches dry.
“I was thinking that sex with you might not be comfortable initially.”
His hands stalled briefly on my back, and he made a sound between a growl and a purr.
“Was that a happy noise or a mad noise?”
“Happy.Definitely happy.My mate is thinking about the next step.I’m over the moon.But will you promise me something?”
Facing him, I watched his eyes do their mood swing thing.
“Promise you’ll tell me if I do anything that doesn’t feel good when the time comes.”
“You’re both wanting it and afraid of it, aren’t you?”I asked.“Sex with me, I mean.”
“I am.”
“Me too.Probably for different reasons.”
“Not really.I’m afraid sex will change everything and result in you leaving me.”
“Hmm.I think I’ve tabled that and am more afraid that it’s going to hurt.”
He kissed my cheek, my nose, then my mouth.When he finished, I couldn’t remember why I’d been nervous.
“I’ll pre-pay by making you feel good every day so that, when you’re ready, you won’t be worried about any pain.”
“That sounds nice.What’s nicer is knowing that it won’t hurt for long.At least, that’s what Grandma told me when I went to the first pack run.”
He hugged me close, smoothing a hand over my wet hair.
