“I’d like that,” she whispers. I can hear the smile in her voice.
“So, you’re an author?” I ask.
“Yup.”
“A dirty one?”
“Yeah. My readers call me the queen of dirty talk. Well, they used to.”
I grin as I carry her. I want to hear some of that dirty talk coming out of her mouth. Maybe tonight, I’ll have a front-row seat to the show.
“Where did you learn all that dirty talk?” I ask, looking at her over my shoulder.
“Not in real life,” she says with a laugh. It makes me breathe easier. I didn’t realize I was holding in all that tension until she said it. “I’m a virgin. Isn’t that weird? An erotica author who’s a virgin?”
“What’s weird is someone fated to a mate who isn’t a virgin,” I tell her. “In the shifter world, we wait for our mates.”
“You mean… You’ve never?”
“Nope.”
“Not once?”
“Not even a kiss,” I tell her proudly. “I waited for you, Layla. You’re the only one I’ve ever wanted.”
“Even when you didn’t know I was alive?”
“I knew you were out there. I just didn’t know you’d be this amazing.”
She holds me a little tighter as I guide her through the dark forest. The rain has let up a lot. It’s only drizzling now.
“So, wait a minute,” she says. “Where did you learn all that dirty talk?”
I shrug. “Who knew I was a natural at it? I guess we’re meant to be.”
She laughs. “I guess so.”
“You have no idea what I’m going to do to you when I get you dry.”
“I don’t think I’ll ever be dry around you.”
I chuckle as I look at her over my shoulder. “That’s my dirty girl.”
We keep talking as we go. I want to know everything about her. Where she’s lived, what she’s done, who she’s met, what she’s experienced. I wish I was by her side through it all, but I’m just going to have to catch up this way.
She tells me all about her horrible day and my heart goes out to her.
“No one came?” I ask, feeling my heart breaking for my mate. I hate that she had to go through that.
“No one,” she says with a laugh. “Pretty pathetic, huh?”
“Pathetic is not trying in the first place,” I tell her. “You put yourself out there and tried. In my books, that means you won.”
I feel her arms tightening around me like she’s hugging me. “I think I’m going to like being mated to you.”
She kisses me on the cheek and those lips on my skin are enough to break the last of my resolve.
I need to be between her legs.
