Page 59 of The Wolf She Shouldn't Desire

“We can work out the kinks as we go.”

“So, a relationship and not just friendship. More?”

I nod my head yes tentatively.

“I can work with that.”

“One rule, though. No one can know.”

His forehead scrunches in consternation, which I don’t quite understand. “And why is that?”

He doesn’t sound happy, and I don’t blame him. He probably thinks I don’t want to be seen with him or something. That I would be ashamed.

“Have you ever heard of a vampire and a werewolf being in a relationship? Do you really think that either vampires or werewolves in this city would be happy about it, especially since we belong to the most powerful coven and pack in the city?”

He just stands there with his arms crossed and lips pinched.

“I just want to be able to explore this with you in peace and without worry. Plus, if it turns out it doesn’t work, then no harm, no foul.”

“It’s going to work out,” he says fiercely.

“I’ll let you be the optimistic one here.”

He snorts.

“Anyway, I just think it’s smart to keep this between you and me for now. If anyone in my coven found out, I would be hunted and treated like a traitor.”

“Even Danny and the band of merry vampires I’ve seen you with often would do that?”

“I want to say no, but a tiny part of me is uncertain. I’ve never had to face something like this with them. They’re like me and don’t hold some misplaced prejudice and hate towards werewolves. And yeah, down the line, I will tell them if this becomes serious and I feel it is appropriate. But until then…can we explore this without anyone trying to influence or cloud the outcome?”

“You want me to keep this a secret from my pack as well then?”

“Do you think they would be greeting me with open arms if they find out their alpha is fucking a vampire?”

“First of all, don’t say it like that.” His tone is laced with anger. “Second of all, some of them maybe but not all of them, so I get your point.”

I nod in acknowledgement. “So, our little secret?”

“Our little secret…for now.”

“Okay,” I grin at him.

He pushes away from the bathroom doorframe and holds his hand out to me. “Take a shower with me?”

Images of him naked earlier take up shop in my mind, but this time, I see water running down his chest and down tohis stomach to his glorious dick and finally his powerful, thick thighs.

“Talia,” Jordan growls seductively.

I jump off the bed and quickly grab his hand. “Right, shower time. Yes, please”

He chuckles as he pulls me along behind him to the shower. I bounce on the tiptoes of my feet like I’m walking on clouds. When we get into the bathroom, I yank my hand away from his and remove his shirt that I’m wearing in one swift lift. He grins at me like a boy in a candy shop. I move forward and grab for the button of his jeans.

“Talia,” he moans.

“What, you got to undress both of us last time. Now it’s my turn.”

I pull the zipper of his jeans down and then yank his jeans down. Now I’m kneeling on the floor in front of him, and his dick is directly in front of my face. I look up through my eyelashes and give him the most wicked grin I can manage. This is going to be fun.
