“Just a little,” she breathes, and I can feel the tension in her relaxing.Leaning down I kiss her gently before pulling away.
“Come on, let’s finish up your training,” I say, guiding Emery back to the training area.
Tara raises an eyebrow at us, with a mischievous grin.“Well, well, look who’s all loved up,” she teases, earning a playful swat from Emery.
“Shut up, Tara,” Emery blushes, but her smile betrays her embarrassment as she takes her stance, and I laugh at her reddening cheeks.
Suddenly she lunges forward but I sidestep skillfully, grinning like a wolf marking its prey when she attacks me again.In a swift move that surprises even me, Emery lands a clever hit that sends me reeling backward.
The impact of her strike reverberates through my body, momentarily knocking the wind out of me.I stumble back, my equilibrium thrown off by the force of her attack.Emery’s eyes widen with surprise and triumph as she realizes she actually got one over me.A proud grin spreads across her face, her cheeksflush with excitement.
“You caught me off guard there,” I tell her.
She puts her hands on her hips, a playful glint in her eyes.
“Or maybe I’m just too good for you,” she taunts.
“Oh really?Is that so?”I reply.
“Well, if you think you’re so good, why don’t we make this interesting?”I suggest a mischievous twinkle in my eye.Emery’s grin widens as she leans in closer, her voice full of curiosity.
“Interesting...”
I get to my feet, “How about a little wager?The first to three knockdowns wins.If you win, I will give you your surprise before dinner.”
“And if I don’t?”
I raise an eyebrow, teasingly confident.“You get on your knees for me,” I tell her and her eyes flash and she licks her lips.
“Somehow, I don’t think I lose in either one,” she laughs.
Emery launches herself toward me.I sidestep just in time, but she quickly recovers and spins around effortlessly, delivering a swift strike that grazes my side.The impact stings, but I can’t help but admire her growth and skill.
“Not bad,” I admit through gritted teeth.
“Looks like you’ll be sharing your secret early,” she taunts but before she can step away, I grab her wrist pulling her flush against my bare chest.Her gasp is swallowed by my lips claiming hers in a possessive kiss.
“Or maybe I’d rather have you for dinner,” I growl into her ear, eliciting a shiver that courses through her entire body.And god!That does things to me.
Threading my fingers through her hair, I pull her face toward mine for another searing kiss while my other hand travels unhurriedly down her back, tracing the contours of her curves through thin fabric.She moans softly against my lips when I grip her ass firmly reminding her who’s really in control here.
Breaking away from the kiss slightly breathless, and I give her a gentle shove, not expecting it, she trips over her own feet.“One,” I tell her with a smirk, and she shoots me a glare.
“That’s cheating!”
“Is it?”I ask her as she gets to her feet.She charges at me, I sidestep, before knocking the back of her knee and she topples forward.Moving quickly, I grab her before she faceplants the ground and she gasps, putting her hands out to brace for impact leaving her in a precarious position with me behind her and I shove her on her hands and knees.
“Two!Hm, maybe I’ll hit you from the behind when I win,” I muse, liking this view of her.I let her go and she growls, turning on me and lunging at me.I laugh before grabbing her and pinning her on her back.She huffs and I press my weight down on her.
“But you do have such plump lips,” I smile leaning down to kiss her.“Three,” I mutter against her lips, and I feel her smile against mine when my tongue sweeps across her lips.With a devilish grin, I kiss her again, savoring the sweet taste of her lips.She groans softly as I start trailing kisses down her neck, feeling her pulse quicken beneath my touch.My hands roam over her body, when someone clears their throat loudly, making us both freeze.
Looking up, Kyrio is standing there, arms folded staring at the forest.“Interesting defensive maneuver, Alpha, but seems more fitting for the bedroom, not at training,” he reminds me and I laugh, glancing down; Emery’s face is bright red.Yeah, this bond is definitely growing inappropriately strong.
Chapter 40
My heart pounds as Dion pulls me to my feet, his stronggrip lifting me effortlessly.Around us, pack members are busy packing up their training gear.The sun beats down on my face, its warmth welcome after spending so much time in the packhouse.I don’t want to go back inside yet; I want to savor this moment of drama free fresh air, and I wasn’t exactly wanting to go back inside, but Kyrio is right, and I am struggling to control the bond with Dion now that I can feel it.It’s such a bizarre feeling, and to think not long ago I was trying to escape him, and yet now I can’t picture being without him.
“You don’t want to go inside?”Dion asks, though I can tell he is using the bond to come to that conclusion.
