“That was…” she breathed, cutting off as another tremor shook her sensitive body.
I hummed, nuzzling her core and taking another lick, smiling against her flesh as she shuddered again.
“Stop.”
“But I want another one.” I was whining, but there was no part of me that wanted to let up.
“Play your cards right, and I’ll let you do it again soon. Maybe when we don’t have an audience.” She cut her eyes toward the tent.
“Don’t mind me. You certainly didn’t care a few minutes ago.” Hendrix’s voice was slightly strangled, and a small sniff gave me all the information I needed.
“Don’t think I can’t smell what you just did, gryphon.”
A muffled curse was his only response.
“What…?”
“Let’s just say mine isn’t the only cum scent in my nose right now.”
My mate’s face darkened to a pretty pink shade. Speaking of…
“I’m Ranto, by the way. We haven’t really had the opportunity to introduce ourselves.”
“Harlow. Though I’d say we’re nailing the getting-to-know-you thing.”
I couldn’t help but agree. I knew how she tasted, the way her face twisted when she came, the needy little sounds she made… I cleared my throat, adjusting the towel that did little to hide my rallying cock. He was a trooper. Especially with our new mate bond in place.
We exchanged dopey grins until her attention caught on the now-dark sky.
“Shit.”
I suppressed a whimper as she jumped to her feet and pulled her underwear and pants back up her legs.
“Everyone will be stressing out. I have to get back.”
“I’m going with you.”
She paused, an assessing look crossing her face for a moment before she finished zipping her pants.
“Deal. Besides, you need some clothes if you’re staying in your human form, and my bestie happens to have brought enough to stock a Macy’s.”
I swept a hand out graciously, relieved that I didn’t have to keep following her in the shadows. I would have, if she said no, but this way I could stay close enough to look after her properly.
“Lead the way.”
With a deep breath, she slapped the top of the tent and strode toward the trees. “See you, dude. Thanks for the hospitality.”
A grunt came from inside, and I grinned at his stubbornness.
“Thanks, Hendrix. See you around.” Without waiting for a response, I trotted after Harlow with a new bounce in my step. I was naked, trekking through the woods in a towel, but I was with my mate, and soon I’d meet her whole pack.
Life was good.

“She should be back by now,” Lindsay muttered as he paced lines into the cheap motel carpet.
This was the first time I’d seen him really worked up. Even when Bruin was chasing us down on the highway, Lindsay was cool and in control. Hell, he’d wanted popcorn when Harlow was fighting! He clearly knew when Harlow wasn’t in any danger, and this…may not be one of those times.
