“I’m here to stay, Fallyn. I’ll be damned if I let you push me away after all these years.”

When her tongue peeks out to moisten her lips, I lose total control and my mouth crashes onto hers. As soon as my tongue sweeps across the seam, she opens, and I delve inside. All I want to do is subdue her into submission until she stops fighting me.

Stops fighting us.

She needs to realize that it won’t do her a damn bit of good.

Everything I’ve done has been for her.

The kiss turns frantic as our teeth scrape. My cock is so hard. Any moment, I’ll come in my jeans.

That’s what this girl does to me.

A whimper explodes from her and shatters the silence that has settled around us. Only then do I pull away enough to rest my forehead against hers. We’re both breathing hard as our gazes stay locked.

“Are you going to keep running from me?”

She remains still for a second or two before shaking her head. “No.”

My muscles loosen with relief. “Just know that there’s nowhere you can run that I won’t give chase.”

A fine tremble slides through her as she whispers, “Wolf.”

“Yeah, angel?”

“I just wanted a little bit of time to sort everything out in my head. Is that really so much to ask?”

Maybe not. But my answer isn’t going to change.

“I’ve given you as much as I can. I won’t allow any more distance between us.” I press another kiss against her lips before drawing away. “I need to get to practice. I’ll be back later to take you home.”

She nods, giving me exactly what I want.

What I need.

“All right. I’ll see you then.”

That settled, I press one last kiss against her mouth before swinging around and walking out of the bar.

Chapter 29

Fallyn

It’s almost comical the way my cousin’s jaw comes unhinged and hangs open as she stares at me with wide, disbelieving eyes. Kind of like I just blew her mind.

Then she whacks my arm.

Hard.

“Ow!” I rub the spot. “What was that for?”

“Not telling me about all this!” Her dark blonde brows pinch together in consternation. “How could you keep this from me?” Hurt seeps into her tone.

That’s all it takes for guilt to swallow me whole. I glance toward my bedroom window that overlooks the courtyard beyond the glass. Even from here, I’m able to see the bare tree branches and crisp layer of snow that coats them.

My shoulders collapse under the heavy weight of her accusation before I jerk them in a tight movement.

Her question circles around in my brain before I admit softly, “I just couldn’t.”
