“And, you remember Will came up to you first?”
“Yes,” she says slowly.
I gulp. “Well. He beat me to it.”
“What?”
“I was going to talk to you and ask you to dance. But he beat me to it.”
She blinks. “So, this whole time, Will only dated me because he didn’t want you to?”
“I kinda think that’s what’s happened. Unfortunately,” I grumble.
Briony blinks. “Well. That’s stupid.”
“I know. I should have punched him years ago.”
She laughs. “No. I meant that we could have had more time.”
“Maybe. But I think… I think this was the right time. I was kind of an asshole to you. For a long time. And to a lot of people. But you’ve shown me that I have a lot to offer the world other than being an asshole,” I say slowly. “And now that I’m not an ass anymore, I don’t break your ‘no assholes’ rule.”
“Well. You still kind of do. Punching a wolf? Seriously?”
I lean in and kiss her cheek. “That wasn’t being an asshole, babe. That was just me trying to be impressive.”
“You weren’t,” she says flatly.
“Come on,” I tease, pulling her closer. “You weren’t a little impressed?”
“No. I definitely wasn’t.”
“Even when our mate bond…”
“Oh gosh. That wasn’t you!”
“It might have been. It happened to Thorne and Iris when they were in crisis. Maybe I just did it to see if it would happen for us too,” I smile at her.
Briony rolls her eyes. “You are such a dick.”
“Yeah, but I’m your dick, baby.”
She sighs, but I can tell it’s a good sigh.
“So. How fast are you healing?” she smiles.
Her hands trail up my shoulder, resting next to my neck.
I shiver under her touch. Through the bond, I can sense what she’s feeling.
And my cock rises in response.
“Pretty fast.”
“Pretty fast?”
“In fact,” I stand, pulling her up with me. “I’d say healed. What do you say we test this whole mate bond thing?”
She laughs. “How so?”
