Maybe I was more tired than I’d admitted to myself.
He held me against his side, his lips stretched in a wide grin as he led me into the massive trunk of a tree. When we were inside, he scooped me into his arms and jumped into a pit that I knew was the entrance to the den.
It was about the same size as ours, though there were sheets over what little furniture there was inside it.
“The bedding will be in the closet,” he told me, walking me toward the bed.
“I’ll grab it while you pull the sheets off,” I said.
For once, he agreed to let me help. His lips brushed my forehead, and he released me so we could get to work setting up the room.

Soon enough,we were snuggled up together in the bed with our backs to the wall, eating a dinner of fruit he’d collected from a bush nearby. The den smelled a bit strange, which I didn’t love, but we’d spent so much time running that our fur wasn’t itching yet.
Our legs were tangled, and one of his hands held one of mine, his fingers intertwined with my own.
“Damn, this was a good day,” I sighed, my voice thick with a happy sort of exhaustion.
“It was.” Amarok brushed a kiss to the top of my head.
We finished eating, then crashed in each other’s arms, a little sticky from the fruit but not giving a damn about it.
My stomach was growling againwhen I woke up, and Amarok was sleepily reaching for the last few fruits we hadn’t eaten the night before.
“Sorry,” he murmured, putting a fruit in my hand and then patting my hair lightly before he dropped his back to the mattress. A low, content sigh escaped him when he was sprawled out again, and my lips curved upward.
His hand started moving slowly over my thigh while I ate, the frenzy’s glow growing brighter as he continued to touch me. Though my body was warm and I was wet with desire, neither of us made a move to sexualize the moment.
It was too damn intimate.
“It feels good to be away from the pack,” I said, as I relaxed against his arm.
“It does.” He continued stroking my leg. “Will you tell me about Allen?”
I sighed. “It’ll ruin the peace.”
“He doesn’t have that power over you anymore. The peace will remain.” He squeezed my thigh lightly.
Honestly?
I believed him.
Hell, Iagreedwith him.
Allen had no control over me anymore, and he never would.
“What if it changes how you feel about me?” I asked him, quietly.
“That’s an impossibility.”
I made a noise of disagreement.
“If it changes how I feel about you, you can sit on my cock until my feelings change back.”
A snort escaped me, and he chuckled, starting to stroke my leg again.
