“I don’t really want to hang around with strangers and wait for you to hunt or whatever you do in the woods. I can come back.”

“Is there a way I can find you?”

“Not unless you’ve suddenly turned into a fae.”

“Damn.”

“It’s fine, I promise. The longer we stand here talking, the later it will be before you can come back.”

“Right. I need three hours in my shift before I can change back. If I try to shift too soon, it can make the change take longer.”

She looked up at the dark night sky, wishing she could change into an animal and run around in the woods with him. He cupped her face and she dropped her gaze back to his.

“What’s that look for?” he murmured.

“I was wishing I was a shifter.”

A smile curved the corner of his lips. “I was wishing I wasn’t.”

“It’s only a few hours.” She rose onto her toes and brushed her lips against his. “I’ll be back soon.”

“Promise?” he asked, a growl rumbling in his chest.

“Of course. Have fun.”

“I’ll be miserable, since you won’t be with me.”

“Can I watch you shift?”

His eyes smoldered and a sweet and spicy scent blossomed between them. “Trying to see me naked already, sweet fairy?”

Her cheeks heated with blush and she laughed. “If I can.”

“I suppose you don’t have to strip to open a portal to your home?”

He kissed her cheek and stepped back, grasping his shirt and tugging it off swiftly. She opened her mouth to answer, but was momentarily stunned into silence by Ren’s sexy abs and lickable chest.

His hands rested on the waistband of his jeans and she was very aware that she was staring at his fingers and hoping he’d undo the fastener quickly. He opened the jeans and she lifted her gaze to his bright amber eyes.

“Is that your wolf I see in your eyes?” she whispered, her body heating as he revealed inch after inch of sexy, tanned flesh.

“Yeah, he’s right here with me, wanting to get close to you.”

“Is it okay that I’m not like you?” she asked suddenly.

He frowned and stopped pushing his jeans down his thighs, his thick cock bobbing as if it beckoned her. “Why wouldn’t it be?”

“It just occurred to me that I don’t know anything about wolves or packs, except that your people don’t seem to like those who are different.”

He straightened and reached for her. She closed the distance between them, his cock trapped between their bodies. “We can talk about pack politics later, it’s not important right now. What does matter is that you’re my truemate. My wolf and I recognized you instantly. That you’re not a wolf doesn’t matter in the least to me, and I hope it doesn’t matter to you that I’m not a fairy.”

“Not at all,” she said.

“Good.” He kissed her once, and then a second time, a low growl making his chest vibrate. “Now let me strip and shift so I can come back to you as soon as possible.”

“And then?” she whispered, biting her bottom lip.

“Then…we’ll see what the night brings.”
