Page 63 of Her Bossy Wolf Protector

That is when I notice that she has been talking for the last couple of minutes. “Sorry, I am a little bit in my head.”

She takes my hand in hers, “What is the purpose of your supernatural hearing if you don’t get to listen to your girlfriend speak?”

I almost swerve right off the road. “Girlfriend?”

She smiles. “Of course. I thought that was clear by now.”

“Nope. And sorry,girlfriend,for being so distracted.”

“I understand. When we get home, I can give you some head to get you out of your head.”

“Damn it, Jade!” All my blood roars southward. “Why are you so hell-bent on giving me a boner?” I lift her hand to my mouth and kiss it gently.

“Well, because I am horny as hell,” she replies nonchalantly before taking my hand and sliding it between her thighs.

I sigh. I love how soft her skin is and how open she is now that she knows she belongs to me.

“Are you already wet for me, baby?”

She bites her lower lip. “I am always wet for you, Gabriel Night.”

Maybe it is the way she says my name.

Maybe it is the way she parts her legs and drags my hand higher.

Maybe it is because she is my mate, and I belong to her just as much as she is mine.

Maybe it is all that and more, but the truth comes barreling through me at that exact time, like a sledgehammer to the chest.

I am irrevocably and stupidly in love with Jade Easton.

I’ve been walking a tightrope between protecting Jade and respecting her independence. That night, it all seemed to tangle up into an argument. She was teasing me about my overprotectiveness, and I took it to heart.

“You’re too worried about me, Gabe. I can take care of myself,” Jade insists.

“I know, but I can’t help it. You mean a lot to me, Jade,” I try to explain.

Her eyes soften a bit. “I understand, but I have work to focus on. You don’t have to worry.”

“I will always worry about you. You are my heart and my mate. I love you,” I say quietly.

Her gaze meets mine. “I love you too,” she replies softly.

“You do?”

“I do, Gabriel.”

The tension dissipates, replaced by a charged silence. It’s as if time slows down, and I lean in to kiss her. The moment feels fragile, but it’s one I’ve longed for. My hands begin roaming down her body, loving how she yields and presses up against me.

I have already given her three orgasms since we walked into this room, but I am already angling for the fourth.

“I like how you feel in my arms,” I groan as I kiss her cheek, “So fucking mine.”

Jade laughs, “See! Possessive much?” Then she tsks loudly.

I smack her ass, “You like that. In fact, you love me… and I need you to remember that because I have some news that I’m not sure you will like.”

She stiffens in my arms, “What is it?”
