Nathaniel ran his hand down my butt. “They’re very…soft.” He slid his hands inside the sweats and beneath my underwear until he was stroking my skin. “But this is softer.”
“You scared me,” I admitted.
“I’m sorry.” Something that looked a lot like shame darted across his face.
“Notyou,” I clarified. “You couldneverscare me. It was the thought of the book taking over. Of losing you so soon after I found you.”
“It never would have happened.” Nathaniel leaned down and gently scraped his teeth along the side of my neck, making me shiver. “My mate is too powerful, and far too stubborn.” His tone was smug, and I laughed.
“Much of last night is a blur,” he said. “But I’ll remember one part until the day I die.”
“Oh yeah?” I shifted until I was on my back. “What part?”
Leaning over me, Nathaniel nuzzled at my cheek. “The part where your eyes turned to aqua-colored flames and a silent breeze ruffled your hair, and you informed me that you weren’tjusta witch.”
I swallowed. “Sounds creepy.”
“Oh, it was. And sexy as hell.”
“You didn’t think so at the time.”
“I was out of my mind. But I’m not now.”
“I could turn dangerous one day, Nathaniel. We know nothing about my powers. Sometimes when I use them, I can feel different parts of them just lying in wait.”
“You’d never hurt me. Just like I’d never hurt you.”
“But what if I hurt the pack?”
“If I ever thought you’d come close, I’d take you far from here.”
I stared up at him. “You can’t leave the pack.”
“I can do whatever it takes to keep you safe. You want to go, you just tell me, and we’re gone.”
“Nathaniel—”
“The pack is mine, but you’re mine too. The difference is, I could survive without the pack—as long as I knew they were happy and healthy. I couldn’t survive without you. I wouldn’t want to.”
Tears flooded my eyes, and his gaze turned tender.
I didn’t understand how he’d become so important to me so fast. I’d crushed on the Alpha wolf and fantasized about him from afar, but as soon as I’d gotten to know him like this, I hadn’t stood a chance. It was a little embarrassing just how quickly I’d fallen in love with him.
I shifted, and Nathaniel allowed me to roll him onto his back. His eyes were heavy-lidded as I kissed my way down his chest.
All that remained of his injury was a light pink scar. And it would likely turn white in the next few days. Wolf healing was incredible.
I pressed a gentle kiss to his scar, and he let out a rumbling growl. Smiling against his skin, I brushed my lips against the bump of one of his abs.
God, I loved exploring his body.
I turned my attention to the spot where his obliques cut into his torso and the V cut pointed down at his erect cock. My mouth watered, and I nuzzled along the line, my tongue darting out.
He immediately twined his fingers in my hair, holding my head hostage. I gazed up at him from beneath my lashes, and he cursed.
“You’re going to tease me?”
“Revenge is sweet.”
