Page 72 of Not Your Ordinary Shifter

Lizzy discovered a new worry. What if his parents hated her? And she hadn’t made the best first impression at all.

The long moments of silence that stretched out between them all didn’t help. Jacob reaching a hand back to take hers did though.

“Well, I suppose I can work tomorrow,” his father said finally. “Do me a favor and bring the bedding in for a wash when you’re done, please.” Every word was dripping with tired resignation.

“No problem, Dad. Uh, thanks.”

“Sure, sure.” And then, as he backed out the door, she heard him say in a somewhat quieter voice, “Horny kids. Why do they always pickmycabin for their shenanigans. We own acres of land, but no, it’s off to my workshop to hump.” He was still grumbling as the door shut with extra firmness.

They waited in silence for a full minute before she started to giggle. Jacob groaned and dropped back on the pillows. “I guess we’re not the first couple to think about the loft in an emergency.”

“Yeah, I kind of got that feeling too.”

His face was red with embarrassment, and hers was feeling pretty warm so it probably matched, but now that his father was gone, Lizzy was amused. She sprawled across his chest, looking down at him. “Still, it sounds like we’ve got the place to ourselves for the night…”

He narrowed his eyes. “You think I can get it up after that?”

Her hand slid down to find him already half-hard. “Maybe we can find something to excite you,” she suggested.

“Like what?”

It turned out she had a lot of ideas, and so did he. Enough that it took the entire night to work through them one by one. Whether it was still the bond, or just their own excitement to explore each other’s bodies, she couldn’t say.

What she did know, was that as far as sex went, they were definitely well suited for each other. Everything else they’d figure out in time. For now… the only thing that mattered was enjoying the moment and learning all she could about her new mate.
