I’m so happy to be close to her that I’m not prepared when she rolls us, sending us both tumbling down the hill in a tangle of tails and fur. We pick up leaves and dirt as we go, but I stay tight to her, unwilling to let go now that she’s in my grasp again.

When we hit the ground at the bottom of the hill, I grip her ear in my teeth and growl, pressing her down into the earth as I straddle her from behind. Snarling a little at first, she eventually relents when I start to shower her in tender licks, letting her know how much I’ve missed her. When her wolf cedes control and lets Belle shift back to human form, it feels like a win. I follow suit, groaning in tortured ecstasy when I find myself covering Belle from behind, my bare chest pressed to her naked back and her firm juicy ass nestled so perfectly against my groin.

Kissing the back of her shoulder tentatively, I drag her shiny hair to one side and bury my nose in her neck, soaking in as much of her as I can. My tongue darts out to taste her skin, and I hum in delight as I worship her, one hand stroking along her spine and cupping her breasts while I lick and bite my way from her shoulder to her neck, loving how it makes her shiver.

“My wolf is still mad at you,” she mumbles, arching her neck to give me better access. “You smell like Lucia and another female in heat. It doesn’t exactly make a girl feel special.”

“I’m mad at myself, too.” The scent of her arousal makes the air around us feel dense, and my hard cock presses against her. I squeeze her creamy flesh roughly - her hip, her waist, her breasts - desperate to be inside her again. Flipping her over so I can see her beautiful face, I’m floored by how perfect she is. Her cute button nose is so adorable, even wrinkled up against the scents she doesn’t like to smell on me. I can’t help nipping it before I crush my mouth to hers in a bruising kiss. I can’t get enough of her.

“Please, Belle.” I don’t have to explain what I’m asking for, because she feels the intense longing, too. Her hips grind against mine as she squirms beneath me, so wet that I can practically taste her on my tongue as I breathe in her desire. “I need this. You need this. Let us be us.”

She wraps one leg around my hip, pulling me closer, positioning me at her entrance. I push forward, pulsing my hips to drag out the delicious feeling of her warmth wrapping itself around my aching cock. Throwing my head back, I can’t stop myself from roaring in primal joy at the tsunami of sensations washing over me.

“Fuck, Belle. You feel so good. This. This is forever. I promise.”

Slowly, I drag my length out before thrusting roughly back inside her. Her breath comes in frantic little pants as her release barrels toward her, fast and furious. The time apart and the tension between us has created this unimaginable friction that sparked the second we touched.

“Ethan. Oh, Ethan.” She grips my hair in her fists and pulls my face to hers. Pressing her forehead to mine as we lock eyes, never looking away, I keep thrusting into her, harder and faster.

“You’re mine, Belle. Say you’ll be mine,” I demand, but she merely shakes her head, refusing to give in as her pussy flutters around me, gripping me so tightly that I grunt and struggle not to join her as her release builds and builds. When I can’t hold back any longer, we both explode and collapse in a sweaty mess on the soft ground.

She’s still catching her breath when I stand abruptly, scooping her up in my arms and carrying her inside the house, not giving a shit whether anyone sees us walking stark naked across the lawn. Belle rests her head on my shoulder and closes her eyes. The last few days must have taken a heavy toll on her, and I grit my teeth against the guilt I feel. I can’t erase the past, but I can try to make up for it.

Laying her down on a giant, plush bed in the downstairs guest room, I start a bath, filling it with all the fancy products I can find. Belle watches me, amused, as I flit around the room, lighting candles and getting towels.

“You don’t need to do this,” she whispers. “I don’t like what you did, but I understand it more after talking to everyone here, hearing the hell you guys have gone through.”

Shaking my head, refusing her easy forgiveness, I walk to the bed and place my hand under her chin.

“I should have told you at the cabin. We’re mates. I should have been honest.”

Belle bites her lip as I gently lift her in my arms once more and slowly lower her into the water. “In that case, we need to talk.” Resting her hand on my chest, she drags a nail along my skin and I clench my fists, fighting the urge to haul her from the water and fuck her again, hard on the bed, right now.

“No, we don’t. Not right now.”

Whatever she wants to tell me, I'm not ready to hear it. Climbing into the water, I lift and settle her between my thighs with her back to me, bubbles clinging to her legs and breasts. Wrapping my arms around her, she fits so perfectly against me. I press my nose into her hair; breathing her in, I growl in contentment as she melts into me.

This moment couldn’t be more perfect. I know it’s not going to last for long, so I soak it all in and burn it into my memory, enjoying every second while I can.

BELLE

This was not the reunion I had planned. There was going to be a stern talking to. A serious conversation about how we’re part of a team, and he should have included me in his plans. An admission that I was there to do a job as well, albeit mine didn’t involve shacking-up with another male.

Next, we were going to discuss long-term plans: what we want to do when this is all over, where we’d both like to live, work, do we want kids. Then we could decide if we’re truly compatible.

That all went out the window the moment my hussy of a wolf caught the scent of her mate. She gave him some shit, but she wasn’t fooling anyone. I smile as I reach one hand out to stroke gently over the shallow scratches on his arm and thigh. Her pathetic attempt to fight him off was over embarrassingly quickly, and when she gave me back control, with Ethan at my back, both of us turned-on and dripping wet for him myself, it was only going to end one way.

I won’t lie and say I’m disappointed. He nuzzles the back of my neck and nips my ear, sending waves of delicious tingles skittering over my skin. Sighing with contentment, I relax even more, sliding further down in the water and resting my full weight on his strong body. Tossing one arm back, I stroke the back of his neck and love the feel of his skin against mine. His tanned thighs bracket my body and I can’t resist touching them, tracing his defined muscles and loving how safe I feel in his arms.

“Are you ready to explain why you left without telling me?” His deep voice in my ear has me melting, despite the serious tone, and I feel my body reacting to him again. I can see why newly mated wolves are renowned for going missing for days. It’s tempting to lock the door and ignore everything else that’s going on.

“I left because I couldn’t stay. No one could, Ethan. It was impossible knowing you were so close by but with her.”

My blissed-out zen feeling slips away a little at the thought of Ethan and Lucia, her hand resting territorially on his arm. Ethan feels me tense and kisses the back of my neck, stroking his hands down my arms, then returning to massage my shoulders. He hums and it soothes my wolf almost instantly, creating a little bubble of intimacy around us that I’m not sure anything could burst.

“Why did you come here?” he asks tentatively.
