“And I would have a patch on my cut that readProperty of Ruby.”

She smoothed her hands down his bare chest. “I like the sound of that.”

“Good.” He kissed her forehead. “Now, grab a book and a blanket, and get snuggled up on the couch. I’ll get you some tea.”

Turning, he went to the kitchen and prepared her a cup of mint chamomile tea. When he returned to the living room, she had done what he said and was snuggled up at the end of the couch with a blanket and a book. He handed her the tea and shifted. He heard her gasp and looked up at her.

The cup in hand started to tip as she stared at him with her mouth open and her gaze darting all over his wolf form. She jolted and set the cup of tea down on the side table. When she looked back at him, she asked, “Can I touch you?”

Without answering her, he lifted his front paws and used them to lift himself up onto the cushions.

“If you leave fur behind on my couch, you’re cleaning it up.”

He huffed a snort — A wolf version of a laugh as he settled his body on his stomach with his head in her lap. The giggle she gave him was music to his ears, but the loving way she ran her fingers through the fur behind his ears was the sweetest touch he’d ever received.

Chapter fourteen

Rebel

Whenhewokeupthe next morning, light was shining through the thin curtains of the window behind her couch. He was on his side with his back to the back of the couch. Ruby was in his arms, facing away from him. The blanket was shoved down to their feet, and his tee that she was still wearing had gotten pushed up, revealing her bare ass to him.

Moving his hand from her waist, he caressed the cheek of her ass as he kissed along her shoulder. “Ruby,” he whispered. “Sweetie, wake up.”

“No,” she grumbled and scooted back, rubbing her ass against him.

“I have to get going, soon.”

In response, Ruby rolled over and wrapped herself around him, her arms around his neck and her top leg over his hip. “No,” she mumbled into his ear.

Quietly chuckling, Rebel palmed her ass and held her against him. Kissing along her neck, he used his tongue and teeth to pull a moan from her.

“I like waking up with you.”

She was holding on tight to him, Rebel liked it. If he had his way, she’d never have to let go. “I feel the same way… especially when you’re wearing my shirt and your bare ass is in my hands.”

He smiled when he heard her giggle.

They laid like that for a few minutes, just soaking it in. His heart was full, and his wolf was content, even if he still wanted Rebel to claim their mate, and soon.

“You work today?” He kissed the underside of her jaw.

“No, but I have to go in for a meeting with the director after lunch.”

He hummed against her skin and lifted his leg, forcing hers apart a few more inches. Sliding his hand along her ass and down between her legs, he uttered, “So… what you’re saying is you have time to kill?”

“Something like that.”

He circled her entrance with the tip of his finger as he teased the skin of her neck with the tip of his tongue. “I might have a way to take care of some of that.”

“Does it involve me moving? Because I’m quite comfortable.” Her hips had started moving with his finger, trying to get him to penetrate her.

“Yes, but I’ll do all the moving if you want me to.”

“You drive a hard bargain.”

“I’m trying to drive a hard something else.” He nipped her jaw. “You want me?”

“What do you think?” She shifted her arms, allowing her to look down and press her forehead to his.
