He didn’t care how it happened as long as it did happen.
So, we let our family know that we were going through with the ceremony alone. We could hear the pack talking, and laughingaround us as we slipped out of the Lodge and into the forest together. Enzo wore nothing but a pair of jeans, and I only had on one of his t-shirts.
Male werewolves were spread out through the forest as they relaxed beneath the moon. The few who noticed us nodded respectfully. None of their gazes lingered.
As soon as we made it to the edge of the forest, we stripped and let our wolves take over. They ran. Played. Wrestled.
It was fun. Ridiculously fun.
We were both out of breath when they gave up playing and shifted in the middle of the woods. I stumbled into Enzo, and he caught my hips, pulling me in close.
The moon shone down over our bare skin, and he kissed me deeply. His lips were soft and warm, his kiss sweet in a way that made it difficult not to get lost in him.
When I had to pull away to catch my breath, he chuckled.
The sound was real and free, in a way so few things in my life had ever been.
“My wolf loved that,” I said, tipping my head back so I could meet his eyes.
“Mine’s already pushing me to seal the bond so he can get back to chasing her again.”
I smiled, and he kissed me once more. His cock was hard against my hip, his body making me feel absolutely blissful.
My smile faded when he pulled away, his gaze moving slowly over my face. His expression was calm, but serious.
“Are you sure about this, Enzo? Sealing a mate bond isn’t just a wolfish obsession. If we commit, it’s forever,” I said. “It doesn’t seem like there’s another option, but we might be able to find one.”
“I don’t want another option, Princess. Do you?”
No.
I didn’t.
The truth of that hit me harder than I expected, and my heartbeat picked up. “I just want you.”
His lips brushed the curve where my neck met my shoulder, and a beat later, his fangs pierced my skin.
My wolf howled her approval, and mine cut into him too.
White-hot electricity raced over my skin and through my veins. It was followed closely, and intensely, by heat.
Not just warmth—heat, heat.
My body flushed instantly.
Enzo licked the wound clean and grabbed my hips. I gasped out a curse as he hauled me down to the dirt with him, putting me on my hands and knees.
I lifted my ass higher, and he growled his satisfaction as he opened my legs wider and slammed into me, filling me completely.
His fingers worked my clit as he fucked me hard. I came with a scream, and his knot swelled inside me, making the climax longer and more intense.
He drove in deeper, his hands moving over my skin as we found our releases together again and again.
When his knot finally softened, he pulled out and rolled onto his back, tugging me down on top of him. His eyes were gold, but it wasn’t his wolf. It was just Enzo.
“I forgot how good that is,” he rumbled, chest rising and falling harshly.
“No kidding,” I breathed. “But if someone finds us out here, we’re screwed.”
