Reika was lying on her back, still in the dress that she had worn walking down the aisle. Owen had removed his suit jacket and thrown it on the floor.
“You are so gorgeous,” he murmured.
He rolled over onto his side, gazing down at his beloved as she let out a tired laugh.
“Take it easy, honey,” she said. “You keep calling me that, and we’re sure to have another baby on our hands.”
Owen felt his heart skip a beat at the idea of raising a pack of kids with Reika. She spotted it, then rolled over onto her side, shaking her head with a smile.
“I’m cutting you off, mister!” she said, using a slicing motion across her neck. “Let’s see how we do with one baby for now.”
Owen growled, then took Reika by the waist, yanking her closer to him on the bed. She yelped, then chuckled, quickly melting into his arms.
“I can’t wait to make love to you for the rest of our lives,” he said.
Owen watched as his wife’s thighs clenched together, loving the power he had over her.
“Baby,” she crooned.
They kissed softly, with Owen starting at her top lip, moving down to kiss the edges lightly. He felt her moan against him, the sound vibrating through her incredible body.
He nibbled on her chin as she arched her back, giving in to his touch easily. When he reached her neck, he breathed in her scent, then settled against her chest with a long sigh.
“But not tonight,” he whispered.
Reika began laughing, her chest moving up and down at a rapid speed. They spent their first wedded night together in each other’s arms, completely dressed and dozing off into the dark night.
There was nothing more soothing than the feel of Reika’s skin against his face, along with the calm certainty of their safety as a thriving family.
FORTY-ONE
REIKA
It had been nearly six weeks since Reika and Owen had been together physically. It had flown by as they adjusted to a life with Gunner, as well as a life with Owen as the alpha of his pack. Reika learned that being a mother was both rewarding and challenging. But it made her exceedingly happy, which helped on the more difficult days.
After an evening of spending time with the pack and re-engineering various positions, Owen informed her that he had asked Nina to watch Gunner for the upcoming Saturday night.
Reika was sitting in front of the TV in the cabin at the time, nursing their baby and frowning.
“What for?” she asked nonchalantly.
Owen came over, grinning widely, then lightly kissed her nose. The gesture was friendly, but it still made her squeeze her thighs together.
“I want to have a date with my wife,” he said, leaning over the couch. “If that is okay with you?”
Reika knew immediately what he was implying. Every time he touched her, despite her exhaustion and adjustment with the baby, she felt like she could spontaneously combust. She grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him to her as Gunner suckled at her, kissing him with a sloppy tongue.
When they parted, she lightly bit his lower lip.
“That’s just a preview,” she growled.
Reika couldn’t wait for Saturday to come. She could barely contain herself when Nina came over, taking Gunner in his little carrier. It was hard for her to see him go, still feeling like the protective momma she would always be. But she knew they needed it.
Reika desperately needed him inside her, so deep that she howled at the moon in a cascade of wild pleasure.
She wore a red slip while she prepared a dinner of steak, potatoes, and green beans … Owen’s favorite. He had spent a night at the Raff den, helping Connor ease into his new position in the pack.
She wanted him to come home, ravenous and aching for her.
