“You clean up and get ready for round two. I’ll tell them we’ll come see everyone tonight?”
“Round two? You mean like round four or five?” She was counting on her fingers with the water from the shower running over her body. Her skin glistened and her breasts were red from his attention and swollen and he wanted to suck on them again.
“Whatever round we’re on, I’m not quitting until you beg me to stop.”
The needy whimper she gave in response made him growl.
“Be right back.” He grabbed a towel from the shelf on the wall and wrapped it around his waist. People had already knocked on the door once.
Another round ofrappingstarted before he reached the door.
He opened it and gave them an annoyed frown. “You could’ve called.” Katherine, Knox, Ava, and Ryder stood on the porch.
“We did.” Katherine tried to push into the house, but Aarav blocked her. Knox grabbed Katherine around the waist and hauled her back.
“We’re not going to interrupt them, love.”
Katherine sputtered a little, but finally stopped.
“How is she?” Ava asked, her tone genuinely filled with concern. Ava had known Connie the longest. Aarav had heard the story of how they met. How Connie found out about the Reyleans.
“She’s doing better. Adjusting.”
“I saw you speed past the Community Center earlier and I called Katherine to see if she knew if something had happened in town. And then we figured it must’ve been Connie.”
“We tried to talk them out of coming over here.” Ryder checked his watch. “We held them off almost two hours.”
Aarav smiled at the wolf. “Thank you. The time was much appreciated. Connie does want to see you all, but not at this precise moment.”
“Dinner?” Ava asked. “The weather is nice out. We’re doing a barbecue at the cabins. Do you think she’d be up for coming? Tell her she doesn’t have to bring anything.”
“Yes.” He stepped back to close the door. “We’ll see you at dinner.”
The water had shut off in the bathroom. His mate’s break time was up and he was quite sure they both would be famished by the time dinner rolled around.
“Are they gone?” Connie called out from the bedroom.
He jogged down the hallway and stopped in her doorway.
Connie was on the bed. On her back. Her legs were spread and she was touching herself. Whatever part of his cock had not been already hard with anticipation, it was hard now.
He stalked toward the bed. “That’smine.” He was staring at her pussy and her fingers and hearing her little moans of pleasure.
“Mmmm, yes, it is.” Her voice was sultry and daring and flirty and he loved it. She had always been confident and strong, but now it was shining out of her so much more.
“I’m the luckiest male on this planet. You know that, right?”
Her eyes went a little glassy. “But I’m the one that’s lucky. Fate gave me you. And you waited for me. No one else would’ve ever waited like you did.”
“Always,shuarra.It was never a question for me.”
“That’s why I fell in love with you even though I fought not to.”
“I fell in love with you a little more each day. And now I get to show you every day for the rest of our lives.”
“Please.” Her body shivered. Anticipation burned in her gaze.
He crawled up between her legs and delivered on his promise.
