“Do you have a death wish or something?”
“No,” she said, her voice muffled against his bare chest. She hadn’t even gone through with the change, and her life was already so much more difficult than anticipated.
“Tamaska.” He eased her back a little to look at her. “The ceremony is tonight, and I need you by my side.”
Anticipation fluttered in Tamaska's stomach as his words sank in. She wanted to be by his side, showing her support.
“I really was trying to help,” she added again.
Kodiak squeezed her. “All you need to do is to listen to me.”
“I am.”
“No, you’re not. You’re being stubborn, and I love it under normal circumstance, but right now it could get you killed.”
“I’m not submissive.”
“Jesus you don’t need to be” Then he chuckled softly. “Well, only when I fuck you.”
Her pussy contracted and her clit throbbed as need thundered through her. Fuck, if only he would take her now. But that was the last thing they needed to do now.
“Come on, we need to get back before Amdis decides to return with friends. There’s a lot to do at the clubhouse before we head to the hut in the Blue Mountains for the ceremony.”
Tamaska inhaled slowly, allowing his scent to fill her lungs. She held her breath for a moment to savor the delightful sensation, then exhaled. That was as much pleasure as she was going to get for now, and she would enjoy it.
“First, do you have some clothes I can wear?” he asked.
Tamaska nodded. “I think you left some things.”
As she picked her way back to her room, the enormity, the reality of what she planned to give up set in. Before, she’d been gung ho, ready to change for Kodiak. Now…she still wanted to be changed, but it was all more complicated than she'd realized it would be.
Tamaska pushed through the pounding in her head as she searched for his clothes.
“Yes,” she whispered, pulling out a pair of jeans and light blue T-shirt.
“Here.” She left the bedroom, enjoying the sight of Kodiak's naked body.
He brushed her fingers as he took the clothes from her, sending a shiver of pleasure through her body and the sweet sensation pooled low in her abdomen.
Kodiak dressed quickly, but she couldn’t take her eyes off his perfect form. She could look at his naked body forever. He zipped his jeans, and they both looked at his feet.
“I don’t have any shoes that will fit you.”
“That’s fine, I’m used to walking around without shoes. It happens way too often.”
Tamaska couldn’t imagine experiencing that, not even after she changed.
“Let’s go. You're not coming back here,” said Kodiak, moving toward the door.
“I should grab a few…” Tamaska let the unspoken words evaporate from her mouth. The look Kodiak gave her chilled her to the bone.
“We go now. It’s getting dark. You're coming with me now. I’m not letting you out of my sight.”
So much for my plan to help.
Tamaska grabbed the bag she’d packed and followed him to the door. “What about the car?”
“I’ll send someone back for it. We need it to get us all to the hut.”
