Page 53 of Once You Go Pack
Those three words hung in the air, heavy and irrevocable. Cade’s breath stuttered, his gaze softening even as his body remained tense with need. “Mila,” he breathed. “I love you too. More than anything. You’re my everything.”
Her heart swelled at his admission, the depth of his love undeniable. She leaned in, capturing his lips in a fierce kiss that spoke of all the words they couldn’t say. His hands gripped her hips, pulling her closer as his tongue sought hers, the kiss deepening until they were both breathless.
Mila reached between them, her hand brushing against his arousal. He groaned low in his throat, his hips jerking involuntarily at her touch. She guided him to her entrance, herbody already slick with need. “Take me,” she murmured, her voice trembling with anticipation.
Cade didn’t hesitate. He thrust into her in one deep, claiming motion, and Mila cried out, her head falling back against the wall. The sensation was overwhelming, a heady mix of pleasure and intensity as he filled her completely. He buried his face in the crook of her neck, inhaling her scent as if it were the very air he needed to survive.
“You feel so good,” he murmured against her skin, his voice a rumble that vibrated through her. “Perfect and mine.”
Mila clung to him, her fingers digging into the muscles of his shoulders as he moved within her. Each thrust was slow and deliberate, drawing out their pleasure with an almost unbearable intensity. She could feel the tension building, coiling tightly in her core, and she knew she was close.
“Faster,” she gasped, her voice breaking as her body teetered on the edge of release.
Cade obeyed instantly, his hips snapping against hers with a rhythm that sent shockwaves of pleasure coursing through her. Mila’s breath came in short, ragged gasps, her body tightening around him as she felt her orgasm crash over her. She cried out his name, her nails leaving marks on his skin as she clung to him, riding the waves of ecstasy.
Cade growled her name as he buried himself deep within her, his release surging through him as her body convulsed around him. He held her tightly, their bodies pressed together as the aftershocks of their shared pleasure rippled through them.
The water cascaded around them, washing away the remnants of their passion as they clung to each other, their breathing slowly returning to normal. Cade pressed a soft kiss to her lips, his gaze tender as he looked into her eyes.
“You’re extraordinary,” he murmured, his voice filled with awe. “Everything I never knew I needed.”
Mila’s heart swelled at his words, a warmth spreading through her body. She cupped his face, her thumbs brushing over his cheeks. “Cade, you’re my everything,” she whispered. “And you’re exactly what I need.”
Their lips met again in a gentle kiss, a promise of forever sealed in the heat of the moment. As the water continued to fall around them, Mila felt a sense of clarity she had never known before. They were stronger together than they could ever be apart.
Cade stepped out of the shower first, water sluicing down his muscled back, and grabbed a towel to wrap around his waist. He turned, his green eyes locking onto Mila as she stood under the spray, her golden hair plastered to her shoulders. He extended his hand, his voice low and commanding.
“Come here,” he said softly.
Mila stepped out of the shower and into his arms. He looped a towel around her, his hands lingering on her shoulders as he leaned in to press a kiss to her temple.
“Let me take care of your wounds now,” she said, her voice soft but firm.
“Only if you promise to let me take care of you some more afterward,” he replied, a playful glint in his eyes.
She raised an eyebrow. “You’re insatiable.”
“I’ve spent my entire life being insatiable for duty,” he murmured, his lips brushing her ear. “Now I’m only insatiable for you.”
Mila shook her head, laughing lightly as she gently pushed him toward the bench in the bathroom. “Sit. Let me patch you up first, you stubborn wolf.”
He grumbled but obeyed, his large frame settling onto the bench as she retrieved the first aid kit from the cabinet. She knelt in front of him, her movements methodical as she cleanedthe shallow gashes on his shoulder and ribs. Cade watched her intently, his gaze burning into her as she worked.
“You’re lucky these aren’t deeper,” she said, her tone laced with concern.
“I’m lucky I have you to patch me up,” he countered, his voice softening.
She looked up at him, her blue eyes meeting his. “Today was horrible, Cade.”
His expression turned serious, his hand cupping her cheek. “I know. But I’m here now and I’ll be as good as new tomorrow.”
She leaned into his touch, savoring the warmth of his palm before returning to her task. When she was finished, she leaned back, surveying her work. “There. All better.”
“Good,” he said, standing abruptly and pulling her to her feet. “Now it’s my turn.”
Before she could protest, he scooped her up and carried her into the living area, his towel dropping somewhere along the way. He set her down on the luxurious fur rug in front of the fireplace, his hands roaming over her body as he kissed her deeply.
“Cade,” she gasped, her fingers tangling in his wet hair.
