She didn’t disturb the guards outside the door but waited for Fergus.
He arrived barely a minute later. When he came into the room, he closed the doors behind him. She could feel the connection to him, even though she couldn’t recall the details of their time together.
“You’re back.”
“I am.” His deep voice, full of male resonance, swamped her senses.
He held her gaze for a moment and his strong wolf energy quickly permeated the room. She wasn’t surprised when he crossed to her and pulled her into his arms.
The kiss that follo
wed was full, warm and moist. His wolf musk scent rose as well and took away her remaining restraint. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back, her whole body moving against his. She might not remember all that they’d done, but the part of her becoming wolf was into him.
She’d never had this kind of experience with a man before, needing him the way she craved Fergus. In fact, if she was honest with herself, she’d never even been in love before.
She drew back from Fergus and couldn’t repress a sharp intake of breath.
In love.
She was in love with Fergus.
He held her loosely, his arms still wrapped around her. “What’s wrong?”
She didn’t know what to say to him. She could hardly proclaim her love, not when the concept had just marched into her head.
She settled her hands on his chest, then chuckled softly. “You’re a big man.” She spread her hands over his pecs. A memory returned to her, of doing this with him, of touching and fondling him.
“Do you want me to take you home? Back to Revel?”
She lifted her gaze to his gorgeous dark eyes. She could see the amber rings emerging, the ones that always formed when he was aroused. His brows were drawn together in concern.
“No. I don’t want to leave.”
He released a sigh of relief. “Good. I’ve thought about where we should go. I have a place.”
“What do you mean?” She glanced around. “In Warren’s compound?”
He shook his head. “No, but I also don’t mean the Gordion Compound either. I have a home, not far from here, my first with a belowground private den. Will you be with me tonight and afterward through the day?”
Her head was nodding before she’d even formed the thought. Everything about her situation with Fergus felt as though it had an internal drive she couldn’t resist or even slow down. She couldn’t not be with him.
“Is that a yes?”
She slid her arms around his neck and kissed him. That’s an I-can’t-say-no.
He drew back and smiled at her. “I know exactly what you mean. And I swear to you that I won’t make demands. I just want and need to be with you right now. Once my mate-hunting cycle ends, we can go back to, I don’t know, where we were before. I just don’t know what the future holds or what commitments I can make.”
She shrugged slightly. “Me neither.”
She stared into his eyes, mesmerized by him, by what was happening between them. “I loved helping out tonight. It was one of the most satisfying experiences of my life.”
“You made everything possible. You played a critical role in saving my men and we captured Sydon because of you. I’ll never forget what you’ve done for my pack.”
She leaned close and dragged her nose over his jaw and cheek, taking in his scent, loving it, wanting more. “Who do you need to tell about where you’re taking me?”
“Warren. I’ll take care of that now.” He looked away from her and she could feel his telepathic frequency light up. When he was done, he shared the details. “Harley and Ryan will hold the fort at the Gordion Compound until the dominance battle has taken place. Warren’s there for a few more minutes to make sure the compound is secure. He’ll be sending a security squad over to the den-home once we head over there.”
She felt a blush warm up her cheeks. “What if we both get to howling, I mean if we get caught up in things?”
