After pulling into the driveway, Eoghan pulled on the parking brake and reached for my hand. "I tried to tell the guys not to do any runs near the backyard. If anyone upsets or scares you, they will have to hell to pay. Just say the word."

He didn't need to do that. Yes, wolves still freaked me out, but I was the guest in their land. It seemed unrealistic that they would all stay away from their own homes, especially after he explained parents would sometimes stay close to their homes to watch their kids.

"You didn't need to do that."

His head touched my forehead, and he smiled. "Yes, I did. You're my mate and I'll do anything for you. So chasing off a few wolves, no big deal. Besides, this is normal behavior for mates. Hell, there are days when Logan gets pissy if you even look at his fiancée."

It just seemed so absurd, and I never really noticed that he was possessive. Sure, he was always touchy feely when we were out in public. Until today, I never really thought about him doing that to claim me.

I let my hand go up to his cheek and gave him a kiss before I said, "So you're saying all werewolves turn into cavemen when it comes to women?"

That rewarded me with his deep throaty chuckle that I adored. He lifted his hand and gave it a kiss. "Yes. I've felt the same way since we met, but I try to keep it in check."

Eoghan was the best guy. I already knew that. But seeing how much he loved showing me off to his friends when we walked through the airport was refreshing. He claimed me as his mate (although we had no clue if we sealed the bond) and I hoped that would be enough for his pack.

I much rather have affection out in the open than to be kept as a secret. My ex who brought me to Canada wouldn't do anything in public or give me the time of day.

I flashed him a white smile, "You do a good job. I had no clue you were that way. But don't do it just for me, be yourself."

"With you by my side, it's easy for me to be myself, and it's for both of us."

That was sweet to hear. Since we started dating, I'd enjoyed my time with him. He kept showing me new and endearing sides to him.

"Let's get inside before the neighbors start to gossip or worse, try to watch."

"They wouldn't." I said with a laugh, but he hopped out of the SUV so quickly that I wasn't so sure it wasn't a joke. He opened my car door and carried me into his house.

Chapter 30

Eoghan

Coop, lunch, me and you. Be at your place in 10.

Istaredatthemessagefrom Jayden. I hoped the guys would give me a little bit of time to relax and check in on things. But nope, Jayden invited himself over.

Now, I prayed he only invited himself and not the entire team. With him and Dino, you never knew how many invites that they extended.

I leapt up the stairs to my bedroom, where Emmy was unpacking her stuff in my closet. I wrapped my arms around her waist and nuzzled her neck.

"Would you hate me if I go out to lunch with a friend?"

Emmy turned and her fingers went into my hair. Teasing me with a kiss that didn't come. Instead, she just smiled. "It's no problem. While you're out, I might run to my parents' place. Would you mind if I take your car?"

I loved how she was so easygoing and could adjust our plans on the fly. We already talked about her using my car during the weekend to see her family while she was in town. The pack would make sure I got around.

We just both assumed it would be when I was signing my new deal.

"You know you can just take it. The keys are by the door."

I couldn't help myself, and I planted my lips over hers and slipped my tongue into her mouth. I pushed her straight against the door and she hitched her legs around my waist.

God, I wish Jayden wasn't coming so soon or else I would have gone further. Since we had tried to seal the deal, we'd had a lot of sex. That part was so good.

There was a loud thud on my door, which caused me to break apart from her. Her mouth teased me with how close it was when I said, "Fucking Jayden. I'm sorry, but I have to deal with that asshole or he will break down the door."

Emmy giggled as she nipped my lip. She unhooked her legs and stepped down. She spanked my ass as she said, "Go have some fun."

After a sensual goodbye kiss, I sucked her bottom lip. "I'd rather have fun with you."
