I looked at my mate’s beautiful mark. I knew that I’d always feel guilt for the way I had marked her, but we were at a place where I had accepted that I had done wrong. Rather than live with wishful thinking and regrets, I would always aim to be better for her.
“Do you ever think… what if you chose him?” I asked softly, careful of the girl who had fallen asleep in my arms. Raven became serious and shook her head.
“No, because I know that you are the one for me,” she replied. “You know, before the mating ball, I did begin to question myself. I felt as if something was brewing between Damon and me, and I felt confused about my feelings. Then, the ball happened, but I think it was all the things getting ready to fall into place. I love him, but if it wasn’t for the mate bond complicating things, it would have been the love that one has for a dear friend. He’ll always be that selfless hero in my eyes, but we weren’t meant to be. It’s you.” She tip-toed, puckering her lips for a kiss and looking so fucking cute and sexy. I leaned down, claiming her lips in a deep passionate kiss before she broke away, her heart racing.
“I swear…”
“Hmm?” She asked as I moved back, glancing down at her cleavage in that sexy corset of hers. Goddess, she dressed to tease, too.
“I swear my back’s going to give with all this bending down.” I laughed as her eyes narrowed in frustration.
“Liam!” She growled.
“It’s worth it, though,” I teased.
“That’s it! You can sleep in the spare room today!” She stuck her tongue out as she stomped off ahead. I smirked, keeping up with her with ease and tapped her ass hard, making her jump. “Oi, big boy, you are so dead!”
I kept out of her reach as she tried to smack my ass all the way home, making her more and more annoyedas she missed. The moment I placed Azura in the spare room, tucking her in and shutting the door behind me, I spun around, grabbing Raven’s wrist just as she was about to smack my behind.
“Not fair,” she protested.
“Oh come on, it’s fair. How about you go wait in the bedroom in that new leather outfit of yours and I’ll give you a spanking you won’t forget?” I growled huskily, pulling her close and kissing her hungrily.
She sighed against me, my hands on her ass, before she pulled away, and I knew she’d do just that. As naughty as she was, she loved to get kinky in the bedroom, or anywhere for that matter. I watched her walk off, my eyes on her ass in that sexy leather, and I smiled, locking the front door and closing the curtains in the meantime as I waited for my little doll to call me.
Come on in,she whispered through the link.
I walked towards the bedroom, opening the door and feeling a little suspicious. As expected, she wasn’t on the bed. I turned in a flash just as she slapped my ass seconds before I grabbed her, lifting her off her feet and over my shoulder as she laughed hysterically.
“You played dirty.”
“I like playing dirty. What are you going to do?”
“I’ll show you,” I said, tossing her onto the bed. My eyes raked over to the tiny leather outfit of hers that was wrapped around her body, the cuff around her neck right down to the leather strip across her boobs and squeezed them.
“Can’t wait…”
Neither could I.
I pinned her to the bed, crashing my lips against hers, setting off fireworks within us. The sparks flourished into bursts of intense pleasure as we kissed like there was no tomorrow. This was our life, filled with a little teasing, a little fun, a few tears, and a few disagreements, all wrapped up in a lot of love, happiness, and joy.
Oh and sex. Lots and lots of mind-blowing, hot-as-hell sex. How the hell did I not mention that one first?
Well, either way, in the end, despite the emotional roller coaster, I got my girl.
My tiny, bite-sized Luna.
Mom and Dadhad been gone for over two weeks already, which meant Azura was here with us.
Raven had gone early that morning to Kiara’s pack as they had some shopping to do for the wedding. I didn’t get how women’s shopping never finished, but if they were happy shopping, what more could I ask for?
Anyway, since Raven was gone, I was stuck minding my adorable little sister. The only problem was that she was a four-year-old pup who had asked way too many questions and still picked her boogers, although she told me a few weeks ago she doesn’t…
Lie.
She had been fairly good, to be fair, although she got a bit emotional every time she got off a video callwith Mom.
“So, Wiyam, what we do now?” She asked, rubbing her nose. I raised my eyebrows. It was past five in the afternoon.
