Page 34 of Midlife Wolf Captured My Heart

She sighed. “I was nice the first two times. Apparently, he isn’t going to understand niceness.”

“Makes sense. Do you want me to talk to him?”

“That’s sweet, but no. I will handle my own problems.”

Dakota grinned at her. “Ooh, sassy and independent. I like that in a girl.”

“There’s a whole lot here to like.” Sadie waved her hands over her body.

“Yes, ma’am, there is.”

He leaned over, wrapped his arms around her, and pressed his lips to hers. The kiss was sweet and gentle at first but quickly became passionate. Their breaths mingled and fires exploded inside of his body.

“Let’s go to the bedroom. I’m not sure my couch can handle a lot more of last night.”

“We can try the kitchen table, cabinet, or washing machine.”

“Adventurous, huh?”

“That’s my middle name.”

“I think we’ll save the appliances and other exotic places for another day. My bed is nice and soft.”

“As you wish, my dear.”

They slowly undressed each other, dropping their clothes on the floor and stepping out of them. He pressed his lips to hers and walked her backward to her bed. They fell onto the soft mattress. Dakota reached between her legs and smiled when he discovered that she was hot and wet.

He straddled her and pushed his way inside of her. She moaned and wrapped her arms around him as their bodies moved together to a song that only their souls could hear.

Her velvety walls massaged his shaft, sending bolts of lightning speeding through his body. He inhaled her scent. It was intoxicating. Words of ecstasy and feelings he could never name poured out through their connection.

Sadie moaned and raised her hips to meet his. She bit her bottom lip and he could feel her pussy tighten around him, massaging him, milking him. An overwhelming flame exploded inside of him and he groaned as he shot his seed deep inside of her.

Once the orgasms ebbed, he lay next to her and pulled her into his arms. She snuggled tightly against him. He stroked her hair and kissed the top of her head.

Dakota knew that his feelings for her were deeper than just a casual fling, but there was no way he could give up his travels. The old cliché that he hated because it didn’t make sense literally, “You can’t have your cake and eat it, too,” popped into his head. Unfortunately, it fitted the situation. He couldn’t have the woman and his travels. At some point, he would have to choose.

Sadie

Sadie walked upstairs to Talia’s science classroom during Talia’s planning period and knocked on the classroom door. Talia smiled and told her to come in. Sadie closed the door behind her and sat at one of the desks in front of Talia’s.

Talia tapped her pen on her desk and looked inquisitively at her best friend. “What’s up?”

Cupping her face in her hands, Sadie sighed. She relayed the lecture from her parents.

“The little bit about them not approving of my relationship with Dakota was very annoying. However, I’m wondering if they are right. Maybe I should cut ties with Dakota now.”

“My friend, I think that it’s way too late for you to avoid a broken heart.”

Sadie hung her head. “I know. His scent is constantly with me and I think about him all the time. When we’re together, I feel more alive than I’ve ever felt before.”

“That sounds very intense. Have you told Dakota how you feel?”

“There’s no way that I can. He’s been very upfront about the fact that he isn’t going to stay in Angel’s Creek and there can’t be any permanent ties between us. I’m afraid that if I do tell him that I’m falling in love with him, he’ll cut ties with me now.”

“Have you thought about having a long-distance relationship? It works for a lot of people. When he’s not out on a photo shoot, he can come back here.”
