I wanted to tell her everything was different now I knew she was my mate. I said nothing and let her explore. Tonight was on her terms. I gritted my teeth, taking in the smell of her—apples and cloves.

“Don’t you want to touch me?” She had a cheeky smile now, and a small chuckle escaped me.

“More than you know.”

She wrapped her arms around my neck and closed her eyes, pulling me closer to her. “Then do it.”

My head dropped back. My breath felt kicked out of me, but I quickly recovered. I needed her. Needed to see herpleasure. Needed to feel her explode, to finally release, to be present and unchained and wild withme.

I slipped my hand under the robe, pushed it off her shoulders, and let it fall around her as her breasts bounced with her quick breaths. My other arm circled around her back, pulling her closer. I nibbled on her neck and she replied with a moan that made my cock throb.

My middle finger explored downward, finding the place where her lips met.

She was soaking wet. Waiting for me. Her arousal had me drunk. I licked up her neck, biting her earlobe as my finger separated her and found the spot. Her pulsing clit was swollen and ready for me. I fluttered over it, relishing the slick surface, and Eve gasped.

She grasped the sides of my face with her hands, holding my head so I had to look her in the eye, and what I saw nearly put me over the edge.

Golden eyes, bright in the dark.

Her wolf.

Eve’s dark brown eyes returned, but her wolf was there. She had seen me, and she had to know we were mates.

I couldn’t wait any longer. I needed to see her come, to feel it over my skin. I pressed a finger inside her, and then another, her pleasure apparent in her moans as I slid into her pussy. She rocked her hips against me and my thumb found her hungry clit, circling again and again as she rode my hand.

She threw her head back as her breathing quickened and her movements became more urgent against me.

Come for me, my mate, I thought at her, and I believed she heard it, for she finally let go, her body quivering onmy hand. She wrapped her arms around me again. We were heart against heart, her breasts pushed against me, and her mad pulse matched mine.

Her breathing was still ragged as she came down from her orgasm. My own chest heaved as I tried to catch my breath, my hands still cradling her as though letting go would shatter the fragile harmony between us.

Her eyes opened, and her lust transformed in front of me. From confident woman to vulnerable mate. It hit me hard, how much she’d let me in. I brushed the back of my fingers against her cheek, holding her firmly in my arms so she could feel that I wasn’t going anywhere.

The Shadow Moon Goddess intended this for us. And she wasmine.

“Logan,” she whispered, as if testing the sound of my name on her tongue.

“Yeah?” My throat was tight, my voice lower than usual.

She pulled back slightly, enough to look at me fully, and her full lips curved into the faintest smile. “You’re really bad at keeping your distance.”

I huffed a laugh, the tension easing, but the fire still simmering between us.

Even as the heat ebbed and reality started to creep back in—my pack, her past, the curse—in this stolen moment, none of it mattered.

I stepped back, breaking contact against my own desire. Her warmth lingered on my skin and my hand was covered in her scent. Claiming her would be dangerous, reckless, but it felt like the most honest thing I could ever do.

My wolf curled up and, for thefirst time, he slept.

I, the man, pulled my woman close to me, and kissed her like it would last forever.

EVE

Iallowed my mind to stay empty, pushing away any thoughts likewhat does this mean?to just live in that moment. His lips on mine, his tongue taking me over, my whole body warming under his touch until all that was left was a pulsating heat between my legs that reminded me that before all other things, I was awoman.

As my pulse returned to normal, everything I’d tried to forget snuck back in.
