“If you tell me to leave one more time, we’re going to have problems,” she warned.

I sighed.

It was a good sigh—her little hands were on my ass, and they felt incredible.

“We’ll talk about it later,” I agreed.

“After you’ve eaten and slept. I don’t think you’ve done much of either of those things recently.”

I grunted, but didn’t argue.

She was right.

I set my razor down and grabbed some shampoo, lathering my hair. Nova pushed my hands away, and I groaned again when her nails dragged over my scalp.

Bliss.

It was absolute bliss.

She tilted my head back, and I leaned my side against the shower wall so I could focus on the way she was touching me.

“You didn’t call last night,” I mumbled, trying to keep myself awake.

“I found a new fuck buddy.”

My wolf roared through me, and my entire body shook with fury.

Nova laughed. “I’m kidding. You can smell me. I spent the night eating coffee ice cream with Olive, Syd, and Aspen. They knew I was coming here today.”

I growled, and she stepped around to the front of me. I lowered my nose to her throat and sniffed. Though the water was running over us, she hadn’t used soap yet, and my sense of smell was good enough that the water couldn’t hide the truth from me.

Coffee, ice cream, and ink. Fresh ink.

I kneeled between her thighs, opening her up and inhaling her scent. Another growl tore through me.

She smelled so fucking good.

I couldn’t resist dragging my tongue over her center, dipping it inside her so I could have more of her on my mouth.

Her fingers were loose in my hair, and her voice was amused when she asked, “Satisfied?”

“Not even close.” My voice was low and gravelly, my grip tightening. “Don’t joke about being with another man again.”

“Alright. I won’t.” She tugged on my hair, trying to get me to my feet.

I couldn’t help but lick her again, needing to taste more of her.

She tipped my head back—and I realized why she did when the shampoo ran down my neck.

She was still trying to clean me.

“As much as I want to screw you right now, I think you should get some sleep first. I don’t want you to do something you’ll regret,” Nova said.

“I would never regret being with you.”

“Okay.” Her voice told me she didn’t believe me, which pissed me off.

I hadn’t left because I regretted anything—I left because I loved her, and because my wolf wanted to make her ours.
