Taken By The Alpha(20)
Then she leaned down and kissed him with every ounce of the passion she felt for him, claiming his lips, which opened greedily to hers. Maddox wrapped his arms around her and they tangled together, lips and limbs and the unbearably sweet spiraling sensations of orgasm.
Katrina moaned helplessly against his mouth as she came, and Maddox tumbled over the edge with her, his arms like bands of steel around her, his heart beating frantically against hers. For blissful moments, she hardly knew where she ended and he began.
“Yours,” he whispered gratefully. “Yours.”
Epilogue
“I’m going to be a flower girl, I’m going to be a flower girl!” Heather twirled around, her dress billowing around her.
Katrina and Maddox stood on the common, enjoying the glorious autumn weather. It was September, and there was a faint, delicious chill in the air.
Caroline and Peony and a dozen other women were gathered at the picnic table where Katrina had first met them – planning out the details of Maddox and Katrina’s wedding. Peony’s wedding had gone off without a hitch, and now her stomach was gently swelling.
Heather danced over to their table. “I’m going to be a flower girl! See me spin!” she sang, spinning in circles. “What is a flower girl, anyway? Ooh, I’m dizzy.” She settled down next to Peony.
“Heather will be the best big sister ever when we have cubs, don’t you think?” Katrina said, squeezing Maddox’s hand.
“Cubs.” Maddox’s eyes lit up. “Do you know something that I don’t?” he asked hopefully.
“No, not yet, you goon. I think we should wait one year – and then start doing it like bunnies on every full moon until I have a bun growing in the oven. What do you think?”
“I think I love you.” He pulled her to him.
“You think?” She punched his arm.
“I know I love you, you crazy she-wolf.”
“You should. I’m incredible.” She glanced at the women gathered around the table and let out a sigh. “I do wish my father were alive to walk me down the aisle. For that matter, I wish my mother hadn’t stabbed me in the back to the point where I don’t even want to talk to her. She’s still moaning about the utter disgrace of me not allowing her at our wedding.”
“You were generous to have spared her life.” Maddox scowled.
Katrina shuddered. “I could never have ordered her killed. Frankly, the social disgrace is punishment enough. All of her friends were just like her, a bunch of shallow, image-obsessed social climbers, and now that the truth came out about Roman she’s been ostracized.”
“Serves her right. But let’s concentrate on the good stuff. Heather’s safe and happy. Our packs are starting to actually talk to each other. And I’m going to marry the most beautiful wolf in the world.” He flashed a wicked grin at her. “Hey, I have an idea.”
“What’s your idea?”
He leaned down and nipped her ear. “How about we go back to our room and play a little game of hostage and captive?”
“I like your ideas,” Katrina said, grabbing his hand and leading the way.
