“No,” I sighed. “We just wanted to have some fun and I wanted to put a bullet in your balls. But Gen said not to give Everleigh the satisfaction.”

He laughed. “Then I’d better make sure to not screw up in the future. But you got me back, sweetheart. Seeing you dancing almost drove me over the edge.” He cupped a breast in his hand. “You’re beautiful. I watched from the sidelines, not far away, just appreciating the view as you danced and laughed, enjoying yourself. But the second Sam laid his hands on your waist, my wolf lost it. And so did I. I couldn’t hold him back. He had to let Sam know you’re ours.”

“I think you’ve succeeded on that score. You scared the shit out of him. But you’re so goddamn magnificent as a wolf, even when threatening. He scared me a little.”

“Scared?” he scoffed. “You didn’t seem scared. Shocked, maybe. Then you approached me and scolded me. I don’t think my wolf could have respected you anymore at that moment. But you also respected him. You didn’t walk away, and you didn’t try to belittle him. Your words have power. Even more so when I’m in my wolf form.”

“Like what?”

“Like when you said in front of Sam that you were mine. And when you continued to approach me and touch me. And when you threatened to kick my ass.” He chuckled. “My wolf and I couldn’t be prouder. You stood strong, my mate, even against me.”

“Yeah.” I stroked his chest with my nails. “I figured you wouldn’t want a coward as your mate. And I refrained from shouting at you for acting all possessive and shit. I understand you’re not human. You’re a wolf shifter. And I love you as you are, so I’ll learn, but I have my line drawn. You cross it, and,”—I slid a finger across my throat—“total croakage.”

“Mmm.” He liked that, leaning down to kiss me, his cock rising in hello as it rose again. “I’ll respect that line. But if you try to climb on the back of another wolf, I’ll come along and stop you. If you lean over the pool table with another man too close, I’ll smash another cue. If someone tries to dance behind you, I’ll bite him.”

“But it’s okay for you to check out the ass of your ex?”

“I wasn’t checking out her ass.”

I rolled my eyes. “Oh no. And she didn’t fall into your arms either. Or grab your tush. And I don’t mind people appreciating the view. It just stings when you’ve probably spanked that particular tush a few times.”

He lifted my hand and kissed my fingers, playing with them. “Everleigh dropped her purse on purpose. I found it funny and nudged Kyran to tell him. That’s all. I was trying to be polite and not cause a scene but one happened anyway. I handed her back to her boyfriend and came looking for you. That’s when I noticed you about to mount Sam. My wolf rose to the surface before I could catch it.”

“Hence why you dragged me away from a party to have sex with me to mark your territory?”

He smirked. “Something like that.”

“Then I can’t wait to pack up my life and move here, Donovan Darman, because life is about to get veeery interesting.”

He kissed me back. “With you in it? I can’t wait for every damn day.”
