Page 48 of Her Bossy Wolf Protector

She smirks at me, “I would have to disagree. You were the one who could not keep your hands off me.”

I am suddenly itching to touch her, and after staying away from her for as long as I did, I am done. Like I told her last night, I am done waiting. I want her near me all the damn time.

I want to laugh at this. I am like a dog with a bone.

Standing in front of her, I run a hand up her thigh, caressing her. She shivers under my touch.

My mate.

I knew it then, and I can fully confirm it after last night. Jade Easton belongs to me.

She stretches up on her tiptoes and places a kiss on my cheek, then she locks eyes with me before her lips graze mine.

I groan as I deepen the kiss.

I run a hand up her arm before resting it on the small of her back. She is so much shorter now that I am up on my feet, but she also fits perfectly in my arms.

I cup her face in my other palm.

She is so breathtakingly gorgeous, and the way her eyes glitter with vulnerability, makes my heart beat faster.

“Jade…” I murmur, leaning down and touching her lips with mine. She is so soft, so vulnerable, so beautiful, and so mine.

There is no way I am letting her go now.

First, it’s tentative kisses, then she is pushing her tongue into my mouth, and wrapping her hand in my shirt to pull me in closer.

I groan.

She tastes so fucking good, like vanilla. The taste of her, and the feel of her overwhelms me.

She moans in my mouth, and the blood rushes to my groin.

I want to devour her whole.

I lean against the counter and pull her even closer. I want to feel her whole body against mine. I want to crash her into me, but just then, one of the plates on the counter tips over and crashes to the floor with a loud bang!

The loud sound bursts our bubble, and Jade practically jumps out of my arms.

I close my eyes, waiting to see Liam come rushing in. I let out a breath of relief when he doesn’t show up.

“Kiss me again, Jade.” I take a step and lean down, capturing her lips in mine. My hand slips lower to the small of her back, pulling her against me. I feel her entire body melt for me.

We kiss again, and this time, it’s with a sense of understanding and passion that ignites a fire within me.

“God, I have wanted to do this for way too long,” I say, my thumb rubbing slow sensual circles on her inner thigh.

“To do what Gabriel? Kiss me? Because I am pretty sure we did much more than that last night.”

“Everything,” I confess, “I have wanted everything with you.” Then my lips capture hers again in a bruising kiss.

It is a fight for air as our lips, and teeth, and tongues clash.

“Fuck!” I moan when she licks the corner of my mouth before drifting lower and landing on my neck. “You have got to be quiet, baby. Liam is going to wake up in a few minutes, so let me have this. Let me worship you with my mouth.”

“Yes, please.”

“Yes, please, what, Jade?”
