Her face flushed and her voice was heavy with emotion. “I’ll have to call my mom and dad to let them know there will be a wedding soon. Maybe they can watch Carter for a few days. I think we need to bond a bit more. I need my scent to be saturated on your skin.” Her voice was low and hesitant as she asked. “Do you think I can mark you too? I know you marked me, quite thoroughly I might add, but I’d like to have you carry my mark.”
Not able to prevent the growl that came out of his mouth he leaned over and placed his lips at the shell of her ear. “Baby, I’d love for you to sink your fangs deep into my flesh as I make love to you, claiming me as yours forever as I’ve already claimed you in the same way.”
“There’s a girl down the street that I use for babysitting. Maybe I could see if she wants to watch Carter tonight.”
He pulled out his cell phone, “What’s her number, I’ll call her now.”
After a full day of running as wolves, Justin and Carter came back home to get ready for Carter’s sleepover. The anticipation Justin had felt all day had him coming home a bit sooner just to scent his woman, his mate. He’d called Blake and let him know that another wedding would be coming soon. He’d also called his parents and Paul who promptly bought their plane tickets to return. Dee was in for a surprise; he wouldn’t waste another minute not being her husband.
“Honey, we’re home.” He announced when Carter came trucking through the sliding glass door straight to his room.
“In the kitchen.”
The anticipation of seeing her was eating at him so he sped up his pace. She was sitting at the table, head hanging over a book, pencil in her hair and calculator near.
Picking her up out of the chair he sat with her in his lap and nuzzled her neck. “I missed you so much beautiful. Did you save some kisses for you mate”
Positioning herself so she was straddling his lap she twisted her hands into his hair and fused their lips together. They fed off each other for a few minutes before Carter announced, “Eew, yucky. Paw, Mama’s gonna give you cooties. Didn’t your mama tell ya about cooties?”
Laughing outright Justin responded with, “You can’t get cooties from mothers. Only other girls have cooties and you’re not supposed to tell them that they have cooties. You ready to go?”
“No, I gotsta call Trevor before I go. I always says hi to him.”
“Use the phone in here and then I’ll take you over to Alpha house.”
Dee pulled back and looked into his eyes. “Alpha house?”
Oops, he must have forgotten to tell her. “My family is flying in todayand they said they’d love to get to know him-not Blake, of course. My parents are great with kids, not to mention that Paul and Bailey are back in town. I’m really sorry I forgot to tell you.”
“Are you sure they want to watch him? They probably want to sightsee and visit. I hope he’s not in the way.”
Justin shrugged, “Nah, they came for us anyway. They want to help plan the wedding and be a part of our lives. I hope you don’t mind.”
She didn’t say anything but he could scent her nerves.
“Don’t worry, kitten, they’ll love you. They’ve already spoken to Carter and he’s super excited to meet his new grandma and grandpa. His words not mine.”
She bit her bottom lip and nibbled it until he couldn’t take it anymore. He pulled her lip from her punishing teeth and kissed it gently. “I love you. Carter will be fine, we’ll be fine.”
She smiled and gave him a chaste kiss in return. “Thank you. I love you too. When will we be getting hitched? Have you set a date without me?”
“No, my family can be a bit…overwhelming. They didn’t want to miss anything.”
She chuckled, “I’m sure I’ll get used to it.”
He nuzzled her again, licking her neck. “You will.”
Chapter 9
“I’m glad we finally got out of there. Did you know your family was going to throw us an engagement party? It was very sweet, but the whole time I was wondering when I could get home to seduce you.”
Justin chuckled before admitting. “If I’d have known, I’d have just dropped Carter off with the neighbor. I want to play with my pretty kitty, make her purr. They stole four hours of possible nookie from me. I hope you don’t plan on sleeping tonight because little Justin has been a very patient boy. He’s hungry now.”
Her eyes widened at the bulge in his pants and her scent changed. “Can you pull over the car? I don’t think I can wait.”
“You can wait, mate. It won’t be much longer.”
