Page 41 of Falling for the Werewolf
Slowly they began to move together. Her body undulated with his in perfectly synchronized waves. Soft moans accompanied their movements as they chased ecstasy together. There was only this, only them. The beautiful truth of it stripped everything else away.
He closed his mouth over her mating mark, shooting her instantly into climax. She cried out as he joined her, his release exploding into her with unprecedented force.
She locked her legs around him, then pulled around his neck as she held him close as they peaked and fell as one.
When Dani went languid, he cradled her body and lowered them to the bed, locking his arms around her to remain joined deep inside her.
“Are you ... purring?” he asked. His own voice sounded like a low feral growl, but that was what Dani did to him. Reduced him from a man into something much more primitive.
She answered him with a moan, a stretch, and a slight flex of her nails into his skin. “Best sex ever,” she murmured against his chest.
He laughed softly in agreement. Itwasthe best sex ever. At least, until the next time.
When they finally made their way downstairs, the house was empty. A text from Bess confirmed that she would be spending the night at Amos’s.
“They make a great couple, don’t you think?” Dani asked.
“Oh yeah. She’s his mate.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
“She didn’t say anything.”
“I’m not sure she knows.”
“What? Why not?”
Jace shrugged. “I’m sure Uncle Amos has his reasons. Maybe he’s not sure how she’ll react.”
“He needn’t worry about that. She’s in love with him.”
“You know that, do you?”
“Yes, I know that.” Her lips curled upward. “Takes a shifter’s mate to know one.”
Jace growled then rewarded her with a blistering kiss before changing the subject. “So, you and I, we have some decisions to make.”
“Such as ...?”
“Well, Amos wants to make me a full partner in the business.”
She wrapped her arms around his neck. “You told him yes, of course.”
“I haven’t told him anything,” Jace said, kissing her cheek as he pulled her into his lap. “I wasn’t sure I’d be sticking around. It all depends on what you want to do.”
She blinked up at him. “You would leave Kenner’s Mills for me?”
“Without question,” Jace answered. “My life is with you, wherever that is. I understand if you want to leave town, given what’s happened. You want to teach, and I can get construction work anywhere.”
“But not with Amos, and not as a full partner.”
“No,” he agreed. “But what about teaching?”
She shrugged. “I’ve been thinking a lot about that. With budget cuts and concerns, more and more people are turning away from public schools, and the demand for cyber-schooling is high. Besides, I’ve been toying with the idea of opening my own dance and yoga studio. Tiny owns the building next to the diner downtown, and he’s been looking to lease the space. Bess said a lot of seniors were upset about the center’s decision to cancel classes. I think it could work.”
“If we stuck around, I could take that partnership with Amos, and you get to stay close to your aunt Bess.”
