He set his fork down and cupped my face, holding me so my eyes remained on his. “You’re lively, determined, and playful. You’refun, Vee. They’ll want to like you because you’re mine—but even if you weren’t, you’d find a place with us. They’ll like you because of who you are.”
My throat swelled.
I dipped my head.
Compliments and I… well, we weren’t acquainted. Tori, Sienna, and I mostly functioned based on sarcasm and shared trauma. Everyone else I interacted with was either a coworker at the bakery or a member of the clan that had tortured and used me.
He finally released my cheek. “You smell so damn good right now, it’s driving me insane.”
A laugh escaped me at the change of subject. “How are you horny after the way the day has gone?”
“Guess I’ve still got too many years of loneliness to fuck my way through.”
“Loneliness?” I took another bite of the food, but tilted my head slightly.
He took another bite too.
I waited while he chewed before he finally answered.
“The pack eased the pain of my loneliness, but it didn’t erase it. My wolf wanted his mate. I wanted to find and hold my female. Sleeping alone year after year, decade after decade, felt like hell.”
I studied him for a long moment.
He went back to the food.
Obviously, my avoidance plan had worked too well despite its failure.
I’d distracted myself too thoroughly from the man fate had paired me with.
He didn’t care that I was a blood wolf.
He just… wanted me.
And I wanted him too.
Maybe even more than anything.
But I also wanted to know his story. Who he was, and what he’d been through.
“I’m sorry you had to suffer so long,” I finally said.
“You were worth the pain.”
“I’ll do my best to make that true.”
His eyes narrowed at me.
He set his utensils down.
And a moment later, the gigantic, muscular alpha was on the kitchen floor.
Parting my legs.
Dragging my ass to the edge of the chair.
Pulling my panties down.
And licking my clit.
