She loved the way his eyes darkened when he was turned on; the way the corner of his mouth quirked up when he thought she was being silly.
She rose up on her tiptoes and brushed her lips against his. “I love you.”
She’d been feeling those words for a while, and her heart began to beat rapidly as they tumbled from her lips. Adam nipped her lip and lifted her in the air until she could wrap her legs around his waist. “I love you, too, Dani.”
She slipped her fingers through his short hair, tugging on the strands as she lowered her lips to his. She felt like everything was complete between them now. He’d marked her as his mate and now they’d shared their true feelings. Nothing could top how good she felt.
“Take me to bed,” she whispered against his lips.
He growled and turned toward the house. He stopped kissing her long enough to navigate the steps into the house, and carried her straight into the bedroom.

Dani dressed for dinner at Honey and Jeremiah’s home. She was reluctant to do anything but crawl back into bed with Adam, but she kept reminding herself that they needed to sometimes leave the bedroom, although at the moment she couldn’t think why.
“What are you thinking about so seriously?” Adam asked as he buttoned his dress shirt.
“Sex.”
He went very still and stared at her. “What?”
She laughed. “I’m trying to convince myself that it’s a good idea for us to leave the house sometimes and socialize, when what I’d really rather do is climb back into bed and climb on top of you.”
He growled. “I can call Jer and tell him we’ll be late.”
She shook her head and pushed the dresser drawer shut after taking out a pair of dress socks. “Oh please. If we go back to bed, we won’t get out of it until tomorrow.”
“At the earliest.”
“Tease.”
“Truth.”
“We should go out,” she said, giving him a stern look.
He knew he could turn her on in two seconds with a few well-placed kisses and some of that sexy growling she loved. “Fine, fine. Dangle your beautiful self in front of me, talk about sex, and then say no.”
“I’m not saying no, I’m saying later.”
He arched a brow at her and smiled. “Whatever my sweetheart wants.”
She finished dressing and met Adam at the front door. He helped her on with her coat before they stepped outside. The bracing chill in the air took her breath away, and she pulled her coat tighter around her. It was colder in Wilde Creek than it was in Oakville. Her winter clothing wasn’t as warm as she needed it to be.
“Remind me to get a better coat for next winter,” she said.
“You can wear mine,” he offered as he opened the door of his truck.
“Then you’ll be cold.”
“I don’t mind.”
“I know you don’t. That’s why I love you so much.”
A man appeared suddenly behind Adam, and she screamed in surprise. Her boots slipped on a patch of ice, and she banged her elbow on the open door as Adam caught her before she hit the ground. Her mate set her in the passenger seat and turned with a warning growl to face the man behind them.
“What are you doing here?” Adam demanded.
The man looked familiar, but Dani couldn’t recall where she’d seen him before. He had dark hair and a few days’ worth of stubble on his cheeks. He reeked of whiskey and body odor, making her nose wrinkle in disgust.
