Ava rested her head on his shoulder, and he wrapped his arms around her and held her tight. “What do you want to do?” she whispered.
He wasn’t sure what she was referring to. But he decided to stick to the safest and get out of the house. “Let’s go out. We need to have a night out, just the two of us.”
Ava let out a loud sigh. “I’m going to get a shower myself. You should go get your stuff.” She looked up at him with her big blue eyes. “We’re mated now. So…you don’t have to stay on base. This is your house now too.”
He was going to do this. He felt good around Ava, he got to be himself around her. Standing, he smiled. “Okay, I’ll get my stuff. Let’s see if you can put up with me.”
Ava grinned up at him, got up, and walked to the shower, pausing to wink at him. “Wanna join me?”
Logan moaned as images of Ava’s naked body with water sliding down it filled his mind. His cock became instantly hard, and he followed Ava into the shower.
Chapter 7
Waking up in Logan’s arms the last couple of mornings had been a dream come true. Now that they were mated and he was using his powers he got to go into the barracks a lot later. Logan hadn’t mentioned anything about her going into heat and the possibility that she was pregnant.
He arrived at her office every day around lunch time, and after they ate she wouldn’t see him again until she got home at five. Usually they didn’t have much more than a few hours together before he went out for the night to patrol for demons.
Earlier that afternoon her brothers came to see her to ask her how the extra barracks were coming along. When they said they had even more recruits coming tomorrow, she’d finally blown up at them for not telling her things until the last minute.
On the positive side, she was starting to fall in love with Logan, and after what he’d done today she thought he might be close to loving her too. She thought back to how it had all gone down as she got ready for the romantic dinner she’d prepared.
“Hey, sis, how are the barracks coming along?” Rane asked. “I have the men all squashed into what they have now and complaining, although they don’t to our faces, but…well, more are arriving tomorrow, so we need more barracks.”
Pissed that she’d only just learnt that more men were arriving tomorrow, and that none of her brothers or the men had told her anything about it, Ava growled at her brothers and stomped out of her office. They followed behind as she went straight to the gym, yelling, “Out. I want everyone outside now, waiting for me to talk to you all.”
She left her brothers to organize the solders and went from building to building yelling at everyone to congregate outside the gym.
Finally she came to the training course and saw Sebastian fighting Logan while talking to ten men who watched. “Now I’m going to change and Logan has to get around me and jump on my back. This is important, because in order to cut a demon’s head off, you need to climb up his back. You will all need to practice getting around them.”
She walked slower and watched as Logan ran and slipped around Sebastian then climbed up his back. Some of the men cheered while others glared. Ava took mental note of the ones who glared, and when she walked up to Sebastian instead of telling this group to meet up with everyone else she smiled and patted Sebastian’s back. “How’s it coming along? Do you think they could win a fight against me yet?”
Sebastian’s eyebrows rose and he stared down at her, confused as he knew she wasn’t one to fight and the last couple of days was the first time she’d done training with the women in years. She nodded to him and stared him down until he finally shrugged his shoulders.
“Okay, let’s see what they’ve got.”
She butted in before he could choose an opponent for her. She picked the three men her wolf insisted were the culprits of Logan’s bruises the other day. The three men came forward with nasty grins on their faces.
Sebastian pulled her aside to whisper, “Are you sure you can handle three?”
“Oh, trust me, me and my wolf are pissed with those ones. I’m going to have to hold her in check so she doesn’t kill them.”
She watched as Sebastian’s eyes flicked to Logan. She nodded and he sighed and mumbled, “Fine. Just don’t kill them.”
She smiled at everyone. “Hi. In case you don’t know me, I’m Ava Wolfen.” She shot a glance at Logan who she could see was gritting his teeth and his fists were clenched. “I will show you why you need to be quick. I’m even going to do these guys a favor by not half-changing.”
