Yeah? Try being mated to a nearly seven-foot-tall man who sulks when he’s emotionally challenged!
“Too fucking bad. That’s how it is. Do you think you’re easy? Female, you’re nuts and demanding and plain mean when you’re riled, and yet I still wake up every morning excited to see you. I get upset when you leave, and it pisses me off that you think for even one second that any other male will ever touch you or claim you. You’re mine, Ren Chase. Chase! Not Sheppard. Ren Chase. And what’s more, you will let me plan a mating ceremony and—”
I cut him off with a kiss, threw myself into his arms, and moaned when he kissed me back with a groan.
“Baby, I’m so sorry for everything. I should have stayed, and I shouldn’t have pulled away and left you.” He murmured against my lips, sighing when I shook my head and giggled.
“It’s okay. We both sort of suck at this. I shouldn’t have bit you without talking to you first, and I do tend to run off when I’m hurt. I promise not to if you promise to try and be less angry. I love you, Caleb Chase, I love you like crazy, but I’m done being what others want me to be. I can’t compete—”
“I don’t want you to be anything but happy, Ren.” He sighed, smiling tenderly when I sniffled because that was so sweet. “And I love you too. You never have to compete with anyone. Do you want the truth, babe? The truth is, you’re the first female I’ve loved who makes me happy. I tried not to be, I tried so damn hard not to feel anything, but you snuck in there and gave me everything I’d given up on years ago. A home, smiles, comfort.”
“And great sex?” I asked, giggling when he snorted and settled between my legs, letting me feel how hard he was.
Moaning, I let him slide against me, the tease so sweet I felt myself moisten between my legs.
“The best sex. In fact, being with you is the first time I feel truly wanted, Ren. You have no idea how hard it was to pull away from you after that first time and walk away. I wanted to stay inside you all day and listen to you moan my name. Heady stuff that, my female, knowing that not only do you please your female but you’re wanted for more than just what you can give.” He said softly, his eyes growing stormy when I nodded. “You had a baby?”
“Caleb—”
“No. We share it all. You already know about me and my failed mating. You have part of my crazy animals in you now, so you know about them…” he muttered, grinning when I huffed because that wasn’t great.
“As if I needed one more voice in my head!” I grumbled, looking away before I sighed and then told him everything.
It wasn’t comfortable or pretty, and I could safely say this didn’t gel with any love declaration scene I’d played in my head, but it was honest and us. It was us, giving, and when Caleb growled and kissed me, whispering how much he loved me and how sorry he was for what I had gone through, I felt myself settle. Ease. It enveloped me as I smiled and looked up at him, taking in his wild bear, those crazy golden eyes, and the obsessive love that shone down on me, warming me from the inside out.
“We gonna have a baby, Ren Chase?” he asked, smiling when I narrowed my eyes and then huffed, deciding I didn’t even wanna know.
“Yes,” I mumbled, giggling when he grinned and preened, looking so proud and happy.
“You gonna mate me and love me forever?” he murmured, laying soft smooches on my lips between every other word. “You gonna love this fucked up male of yours and give me all the happiness I never knew I could have?”
“You gonna fuck me again and stop teasing me?” I whispered, moaning when he adjusted his hips and slid home, his heat filling me so fully I shivered and closed my eyes in bliss.
“I’m gonna love you. Always love you, Ren Chase.” He rasped, smiling when I sniffled, my heart so full I felt like I was going to burst.
“Always.” I echoed before I let him kiss me, and the only sound for hours was us.
Just us.
Always, us.
Epilogue Ren
Igasped, my mouth opening with a moan when Caleb grabbed me and kissed me so deeply and possessively even Walker laughed and told him to get a room. When he let go, keeping me pinned to his body but allowing me to breathe, I giggled and smiled so big my Grammy would have asked me if I was trying to take pictures of my tonsils.
I was so happy I could burst, and it wasn’t about the lavish mating ceremony, my gorgeous white dress, the fact that every pack member was here, or the fact that my mother looked like she had been sucking on lemons.
Okay, so it was about those things, too, because I’d discovered, at Caleb’s urging, that I liked rubbing my happiness in people’s faces! It was so wrong and so mean, but he loved it. When I did lose my mind and get nasty, he was always there to chuckle and threaten anyone who even thought of getting nasty back.
My mate was obsessed, to the point of madness, but more than fated, I was loved, and it felt wonderful. I felt that wonder because today, he wasn’t just mating me and marrying me-something he insisted on so the human world would have a record of my new name. He was giving me something I didn’t know I needed.
Belonging.
“God, I love it when you get that evil grin, Mrs. Chase. Who are you thinking of kneecapping now?” he asked, chuckling when Walker cursed somewhere in the crowd, and Cole started to laugh.
“No one. I was thinking I should give mama a bottle of tequila to go with all the lemons she must have been sucking on earlier. She looks sour as a dirty puss—”
“Ren!”
