“It’ll take hold of you more strongly, this time.” My hand was moving over his abdomen as I spoke. I wanted to touch more of him. Needed to touch more of him.

My hand wrapped around his cock, and he jerked for me. “Touch me like that, and I’ll give you anything you want, Princess.”

“You are.”

He growled as I twisted my hand a little. I’d never touched anyone that way, but I liked it. It made me feel powerful. And the way he moved told me I was doing it right. Or the rut was making him feel like I was, at least.

It didn’t last long before heat overtook me again, and I moaned. “I need you.”

“I’m already yours.”

Some part of me wished that was true, but it was lost to the pheromones of heat, and the pleasure of his body.

Heat subsided before lunch time.

We were both sticky everywhere. Sweaty everywhere, too. I couldn’t move, though. Didn’t want to move.

Neither of us had said anything since heat’s insistence faded.

Enzo’s hand was moving slowly over my back, so I didn’t think he’d gone quiet out of disappointment.

“So that’s knotting,” he finally said.

A quiet laugh bubbled up, escaping before I could stop it. “Yeah.”

“Have to say I’m a fan.”

“I noticed. This poor couch is probably against it, though. Your release is everywhere.”

He chuckled. “I can feel it leaking out of you. You’ll be dripping for hours.”

“Maybe days.”

“Damn, I like that idea.” He squeezed my ass lightly, and I bit my lip to stop myself from smiling. “So what do we do now?”

“Shower thoroughly and go back to the pack.” Pretend like nothing’s happened, I added silently.

That’s what had happened in the past, at least.

But usually there was no cuddling at the end. That was a nice change.

Enzo grunted. “Five more minutes.”

I bit my lip harder as he held me tighter.

“I bought too much food. We’ll have to pack it before we can go,” he said.

“Okay.”

“Need to check my phone, too. Make sure the pack’s doing alright.”

“Okay,” I repeated.

“We’ll have to stop for something to eat on the way home.”

“Okay,” I said yet again.

His lips brushed my forehead lightly, and my throat swelled.
