My hand runs over her hip, over her belly and up to her ribcage, slowly moving to take hold of one of her breasts. I’m more than happy she sleeps naked, which gives me the opportunity to feel her skin against mine.

I gently tweak her nipple, which has Hope move and a little moan leave her lips. Grinning, because I know I can entice my little mate to want me to continue.

Kissing her shoulder, nibbling her neck, I know she’s awake. She doesn’t stop me, but stays relaxed, enjoying what I’m doing.

Turning her gently so she’s laid on her back, I lean over her and suck my mating mark on her neck, which has the desired effect. Hope moans loudly and tips her head to the side, giving me full access to her neck and mark.

I can feel Knight nudging in the back of my mind, and I know he’s trying to urge me to take Hope fast, but I want to do this gently and show her I’m caring of her feelings and how I make her feel.

Cupping her breast, I lower my mouth and tease her nipple with my tongue, slowly moving over to her other breast and hearing her sigh. I feel my hardness pressing against her thigh, and when she takes me in her hand, stroking me gently, I can’t help but groan with excitement.

I feel myself pushing against her, and although I’m trying to take things slowly, I’m finding it difficult not to follow Knight’s advice.

Hope rolls onto her side and pushes her ass against me. I place one hand on her hip, pulling her to me. With the other, I pull her hair so her head is tilted back and I have access to her neck and shoulder. Biting my way up and down her neck and shoulder has her moaning and rubbing my hard cock against her ass cheek.

Taking things slowly is only heightening my own desire. My bites are becoming more urgent, and I’m sure there will be more marks on her neck and shoulder than just the mating mark by the time we’re done.

As I’m trying desperately to slow myself down, I feel her hand guide me to her wet opening. As soon as she feels me at her entrance, she pushes herself onto me, and I slide into her all the way.

It only takes a few deep strokes and I feel Hope reaching her climax. Her muscles grip me hard and she moans deeply as the feelings rush through her. This takes me to the limit, as I can feel her emotions now we are mated. I flood her with my seed as she grips me so tightly with her channel.

I’m so shocked by the sudden orgasm, I hold her tightly to me. A little voice breaks into my thoughts, saying, “Can I breathe now, please?”

Opening my eyes, I see Hope looking at me over her shoulder, and I release some of the pressure with which I was holding her.

“I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you.” I search Hope’s face for any signs of distress.

Rolling over to face me, she looks into my eyes and says, “I didn’t know it would be like this. Finding my mate. The feelings that it would create. The need that would be unleashed. I just never imagined….” Her voice trails off.

“Hope, I’ve waited for my mate, for you. I wanted nothing else, but I didn’t know that finding you would complete me as well as it does.”

Rolling onto my back, I pull Hope in close and she rests her head on my chest. I lay like that until I hear her breathing slow and I know she’s asleep. I close my eyes and sleep comes quickly.

Chapter 20

HOPE

Today I feel like the Luna of the Blackshadow Pack, and now that I’ve committed my heart to Connell and to the pack, I’m going to do everything in my power to make them proud to call me Luna Hope.

Walking into the kitchen, I smile at everyone as they are cleaning after the breakfast rush. “Is everything okay in here, Nessie?” I ask.

“Everything is under control, Luna Hope. Can I help you?”

“No, I came to see if you needed me to give you any help. I’m willing to do whatever is needed.”

“Oh, no, we have everything covered, and I’ve given the new pack members jobs,” Nessie says.

“Where did you put them?” I ask, because I don’t want those that came from the Parklands to be placed somewhere I know they would hate.

“If I give you the staff rundown, then you’ll know where everyone is. In the kitchen I am here, of course. Then there is Evangeline, Isla, Nora, Betina, and Lorna. Housekeeping, I placed Suella, Clover, Jessie, Aster, Karia and Eliza. Antica wanted to be in the garden, so that’s where she is, along with Dahlia, who used to be the lead in the kitchen.”

“Thank you. I’m going to be looking for helpers who can spare some time without tiring themselves out.”

“Helpers for what, Luna Hope?” Nessie asks with a frown.

“We are going to hold a mating ball, and I’ve done nothing like this, so I need some of the females to help me, give advice, or anything at all, because I’m doing this fairly blind, as you can imagine.” I'm as honest as I can be, and everyone is paying close attention to what I’m saying.

Nessie quickly places her hand on her chest and grins. “I’ll help. I’ve helped at one before, and if you want, I can ask a few of the pack females I know have done this previously, and some of the new female members, because it’s nice to have fresh eyes on something like this.”
