Finally, he opened his eyes and said, “You’re mine.”
Some feminist part of me wanted me to put my hands on my hips and offer an, “OH HELL NO.”
But that wouldn’t exactly be productive, would it?
And even if it was, it wasn’t true. I felt like I was his, and I definitely felt like he was mine, as insane as the whole thing was.
There was no point in denying that. If I felt it that strongly already, I was pretty sure the feeling would only get stronger. So instead of arguing, I just said, “Yeah, I am. So why are you worried about your friends talking to me?”
There was a moment of silence, and then his arms engulfed me in a fierce, possessive hug.
I wasn’t entirely against being possessed by this man.
Hell, maybe I was for it.
“It’s instinct,” he murmured into my hair. “I’m sorry.”
And well… I understood.
“It’s fine. I can try to keep it more brief next time,” I said into his yummy bare chest.
Licking him again was becoming a real, solid temptation.
“No. I want you to be friends with them; you’re just going to have to be patient with me.” He paused. “And if I’m touching you while you talk to them, I’ll feel more secure.”
I guess that made sense, given the way I’d felt during my classes.
“Why didn’t your wolf get territorial during my lectures though?” I checked.
“He did, I’m just more used to the feeling than you are. Touching you was my way of marking you as mine, which made it easier for both of us.”
Damn.
My voice lowered. “This is all kind of overwhelming. I can hardly focus on anything but you.”
His voice was gentle when he said, “It’ll get easier when the mating process is complete. The wolves will settle a little.”
Something told me “a little” was the key term there.
I sighed heavily. “Alright, I need to try to focus on school before I get hungry again.”
He chuckled softly. “I’ll order us more food soon.”
At least I wasn’t going to be the only one pounding food like it was going out of style.
Before he released me, he added in a low voice, “And Ebony…”
Something about the way his tone changed had my stomach tightening a bit.
“The only person I’ll ever eat, is you.”
That shouldn’t have been a turn-on. I knew it shouldn’t, but I couldn’t help the way my entire body flushed in response.
