“So we just leave them here? Smelling of sex?” she asked.
“Love, light of my life, I think everyone will figure out we have had sex when we show up with mate marks,” I told her. She giggled.
“Yeah, that is a dead giveaway,” she admitted. I made sure she had both her feet on the ground and was stable before I stepped away from her. I missed her in my arms the moment I let her go. I helped her take off her dress and stripped off my clothes. Before I knew it, Amie’s red wolf stood beside me. My wolf wanted to be let out. He wanted time with his mate. In his mind I had wasted enough time. He felt I should have marked and mated her as soon as we met, like he had told me. I shifted and our wolves spent some time rubbing up against each other. We set off and my wolf and I kept close to Amie and her wolf. We made sure we took the shortest and safest way to the cabin, avoiding everyone else. When we reached the cabin, we shifted back and I pulled a giggling Amie inside. She was a vision as she ran into the cabin naked with her hair falling down over her shoulders, hiding those amazing breasts of hers. I hadn’t let go of her hand, so I tugged on it, sending her straight into my arms. She wrapped her arms around my neck and as our bodies came together, I could feel the sparks. It was like stepping into a tub of carbonated water. We kissed, not a desperate kiss like in the woods, but a warm kiss.
“Aren’t you going to tell me I was right?” she asked me, still smiling.
“You usually are, it’s quite annoying. What were you right about this time?” I asked. She giggled and I loved the sound, she sounded happy.
“I told you that you would meet your mate at the Games, didn’t I?” she said and tilted her head. I looked at her for a second and then I started to laugh.
“You did,” I admitted.
“And, you didn’t reject her.” I pulled her even closer to me.
“I would never,” I told her. She gave me a brilliant smile.
“I know.” We kissed, and the passion between us flared up again. I was about to drag her away to the couch, thinking that taking her against the wall would be unimaginative after our adventure in the forest. She ended our kiss and looked around.
“What if someone finds us?” she asked. I chuckled.
“You were fine with us having sex in the woods where anyone could walk up on us, but I get you back to the cabin and you start to worry about people walking in on us?” I asked her. Sometimes I had no clue how her brain worked.
“I figured it was a slim chance of someone finding us in the woods. There is a lot of wood and we used a tiny part of it. Here, on the other hand, if one of our pack members comes home, they need to walk past us to get basically anywhere in the cabin,” she explained. Her mind was a wonderful thing.
“Hold on tight, sweetheart,” I told her and lifted her by her ass. She squealed a little, but wrapped both legs and arms around me. I headed upstairs, my patience was wearing thin. I kissed my mark on her neck as I opened my bedroom door and kicked it shut behind us. Amie seemed just as needy as I felt and I knew we were in for a long night.
I was slowly drifting awake. I was at the point where my mind was becoming conscious, but my body and wolf were still asleep. I was feeling amazing, relaxed and satisfied. Memories of the night before flashed through my mind as I registered Amie’s naked body next to mine. I opened my eyes and smiled. She was lying on her stomach and I had draped an arm and a leg over her. The morning sun shone in from the window and caressed her naked body and set her hair on fire. I just stayed like I was, admiring my sleeping mate, resisting the urge to wake her up with a kiss.
‘Are you just going to stare at me?’ she asked in a mindlink.
‘Yes,’ I admitted and felt it was okay to kiss her as she was awake.
‘It’s a little creepy, you know,’ she told me when we ended the kiss.
‘I don’t care, it’s my new favourite hobby.’ I kissed her shoulder and pulled her closer, securing her to me.
‘I can live with it.’ She placed a kiss on my chest.
‘I think we should talk about some practical things,’ I said. I had been thinking while watching her sleep.
‘Sure. About what?’ she asked. I traced the pink scars on her shoulder.
‘First off, we need to build an extension on our house.’
‘Our house?’ she asked.
‘You don’t expect me to move into your little apartment, do you?’ she smiled and shook her head, making her hair even messier than it had started.
‘No. So why do we need to change our house? I like it as it is.’
‘You will need an office to work from.’
‘I see two issues with your thinking,’ she told me.
‘Only two?’
‘Yes. One. My office in the pack house is quite enough. It’s ten steps between our house and the pack house. Two. Even ifI needed an office in our house, there are two spare bedrooms. They may be upstairs, but I won’t mind,’ she told me. I hummed.
