His fingers slid deep into my fur as we started up the stairs, the side of his thigh brushing against me.
When we were back in his bedroom, with the door shut—and locked—behind us, he kneeled down in front of me so we were eye-to-eye.
“You don’t have a wolf, do you?” he asked me. It wasn’t much of a question; I could see in his eyes that he’d realized the truth.
Finally.
I shook my head.
He nodded slowly. “I don’t know what it would feel like to shift for you, then. Your bones still have to break and reform, so there probably won’t be a way to avoid the pain.”
I grimaced, but the heat that had started to burn within my body was already making me feel loose and achy.
Shifting was definitely a necessity.
“Try to imagine yourself in your human form—or demon form, I guess. See if that works.” His fingers were buried in my fur, again.
I was pretty sure I’d caught fire, too.
I closed my eyes and focused on my normal body. On the way it felt to have arms. To stand tall. To feel my fingers move.
The way my hair would sway as I walked, the way my body felt when my stomach growled.
Random, inconsequential things.
But I wanted to feel them again. To feel likemyselfagain.
And that was when I felt my body stretch, and change.
There was no pain, despite what Axel had said. It felt good, and right.
A long, relieved breath escaped me when I felt my palms and knees on the carpet.
But then the heat inside my lower belly flared its head, andshit, I was hot.
I lifted my eyes to Axel’s, and found the damn things practically burning into me.
“Any pain?” he asked.
“Only anger that I’ve been turned into a wolf against my will.”
His lips curved upward, just the tiniest bit. “Welcome to Moon Ridge, then.”
He started to reach for me, but I leaned back, and he paused.
Any hint of amusement vanished from his face.
“Kissing will move us into the next phase of the demonic mating process, during which you won’t be able to touch me. Don’t kiss me, or the climax will be extremely long and extremely painful for both of us.”
Understanding dawned in his eyes.
We were both silent for a minute.
I finally groaned and shook my head. “This is so damn awkward.”
He snorted. “At least we can agree on that.”
“What do you want do about all this?” I gestured between us, even though I was pretty sure I already knew.
