Eliana and Lucas had little private time, but with the silent glances between one another, they knew they had the rest of their lives to explore what it meant to be unbound lovers.
The party went on through all hours of the night with drinking games and laughing until happy tears were shed. Eliana didn’t recall the last time she’d felt so light. Not since her father had passed had she allowed herself to live and to let go.
Despite the hour, Eliana and Lucas couldn’t keep their hands off each other. They held their own private celebration at nearly four in the morning, going back to Eliana’s private hut and making love against the wall, in the shower, and one more time in bed.
They were pleasantly fatigued as they finally dozed off into oblivion, naked and spent. Eliana saw time spread before her like a painting. It was one that moved and shifted yet remained beautiful and flawless no matter what angle she looked at it from.
TWENTY-TWO
ELIANA
Eliana had never been happier in all her life. She looked around at all of the enraptured faces of her pack and, finally, settled her eyes on Lucas. Grinning widely, he was a picture of heaven.
Her heart swelled with joy. She had fallen so deeply in love with him in such a short time. He felt her gaze and met her eyes. His warm smile reached all the way to his eyes as he pulled her close to him.
While she had never expected to find her mate and co-leader of her pack, she was ready to embrace this new chapter in her life. Her mother nodded at her, giving her the go-ahead.
The party would be going on for quite a while, and she didn’t foresee them being missed. Not really, at least. The happiness and relief had sparked such frivolity in the pack that the celebration, and the alcohol, were distracting everyone.
She and Lucas couldn’t wait to sneak away and celebrate their engagement in private. Her house … their house now … waited for this moment.
“Should we get out of here?” Eliana whispered to Lucas. He winked in response.
She had agreed to be his wife.If Eliana will have me,he’d said. She was in awe of this man. He agreed to completely uproot himself from his own pack and his family to be here, to be alpha, to be her husband.
If Eliana will have me …her wolf snickered.
Oh, I’d have him, all right. If he’d have me …
Not sure that will be a problem …her wolf replied, excited.
She let him drive her Jeep the short distance to their home, as he knew the way by now, but they couldn’t make it to the door before pouncing on one another.
His lips seared her own, a fire they had tried to dampen but never could. She jumped up and wrapped her legs around his tight waist, her arms looping behind his head.
He lifted her easily, his hands cupping her ass and holding her steady. He seemed to be frozen in place, only able to accept her body against his own. She was ravenous to have him, this time without barriers.
The power of their passion was overwhelming. They could have stripped down and made love right then and there in the open air. His muscles moved against hers, and her nipples stood erect from the excitement.
She ground her hips against him, giving him the motivation to move forward. She moaned into his mouth, and he shuddered slightly. This excited her even more, and she rubbed harder against him. Suddenly, Lucas moved with urgency.
He practically kicked the door in. Stumbling through the entrance, he slammed her back against the wall, not bothering with the light switch. She couldn’t contain herself and let out a howl.
“Oh, Lucas, please, baby …” she moaned under her breath.
Her wolf was feral, needing her mate immediately, if not sooner. The fire was spreading throughout her body, lighting up the erogenous zones all over her form. She was nothing short of needy.
“Eliana …” he breathed, inciting another wave of moisture between her legs. She felt him twitch inside his pants.
Her wolf was howling.
Pinned to the wall, his hands roamed over her, and she clung to his neck, continuing to grind against him. She was close to coming when he whipped her around to find a more convenient surface.
Lucas wasted no time, moving to the couch, spilling her onto her back, and slipping her panties off. She wiggled her hips up toward him, moving her dress out of the way.
He stood staring with desire in his eyes as she gyrated her hips in his direction. She was in agony, waiting for him to lay against her aroused body.
All the hair across her body stood on end, her skin covered with gooseflesh despite the heat of the day. She shivered against the desire and the anticipation.
