“Deal. Fucking deal,” he barked out. “Give me your mouth.”

“One more thing,” I said, and he glowered at me.

My lips curved upward.

“I’m going into heat the day after tomorrow. We’re going to the cabin in the morning, and staying there until the night after heat ends. We’ll read spy books and romance books until we’re tired of it. Clay will reschedule the appointments we’re going to miss.”

“Alright, agreed. Now, are you going to put your mouth on me, or am I going to set you on your hands and knees and fuck you until you scream?” he growled.

I laughed. “I love you, Enzo.”

The words shocked him into silence.

His grip on my hair tightened. “I love you too, Princess. More than anything.”

“I know you do.”

Leaning down, I proved exactly how I felt with my tongue

And my lips.

And my throat.

Until he was bucking wildly, gripping my hair hard as I swallowed his release.

Life with him was perfect.

So, insanely perfect.

The last thing I’d ever expected was to fall for the Wolf King, but now?

I was so damn glad that I did.

ENZO—ABOUT A YEAR LATER

“Come on, Princess.”I pulled Aspen onto my lap. She protested as her plate went askew, and nearly dumped pancakes, eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns all over the couch. Her hair was damp from the shower, her cheeks still pink from the heat we were recovering from.

“Do you think the pack can survive if we keep taking a trip like this every month?” she asked, brushing a kiss to my cheek as she cut into the pancakes I’d refused to let her help make.

My cum was still leaking out of her, and I wanted it to stay that way for as long as possible. Sitting while I cooked helped with that.

And reading her steamy books would make sure she was good and ready for another round of sex in a few hours. We were busy enough with the pack that we didn’t get nearly as much time alone as we wanted, so when we made it to the cabin for heat, we made sure to get our fill.

“If they can’t, they can pick a new Alpha,” I said, completely serious.

Aspen smiled, but she knew I meant it. She knew me too damn well. Better than my own brothers did.

I wasn’t giving up my monthly escape with her. The first one had been her idea, and we had both been so worn out that we’d repeated it every time heat came around.

Our doctor had proven with science that we didn’t actually need to leave. Her pheromones had been altered by our bond, and only affected me after we mated.

But I didn’t care.

I needed to have her to myself now and then.

I had never bothered to imagine having a mate, but now that I had her, she was everything.
