“It’ll fit.”
She wrinkled her nose. “I haven’t worn this in years. I don’t know if I can.”
“Put it on and give me a show, baby.”
“I’ll probably make a fool of myself…or break a bone.” She raised her brows and stepped toward the bathroom.
“You’re a werewolf, you’ll heal.”
Dani stuck her tongue out at Ethan.
“Smartass. I knew I shouldn’t have let you know.” She laughed.
“Yes. You should have.”
“I’m not talking to you.” She removed the cheerleader skirt from the bag and held the tiny thing up in the air. “I’ll never fit.”
“You will.”
She rolled her eyes. “Ethan, stop listening. A woman has a right to talk to herself.” Holding still, she waited for him to speak again. When he didn’t, she dropped her arms and stepped into the skirt. Reaching behind her, she zipped it up and smiled. Still a perfect fit.
The reflection in the mirror pleased her. The navy and white vest hugged her breasts tighter than she remembered, but she also appeared more womanly than she had in twelfth grade.
Who knew back then that I’d be mated with the alpha, and not just any leader, the legendary Ethan Tolene.
Raising her arms, she twisted at the waist and stretched. Thinking of her old routines, she hesitated. Was she still limber enough?
Chapter Fifteen
A soft wolf whistle came from the bed.
“Sweet.”
Though she didn’t embarrass easily, Dani giggled. Warmth traveled up her neck and settled on her face. She covered her cheeks with her hands. “I can’t believe I’m doing this.” Ethan jumped up off the bed, grabbing her so fast that she couldn’t change her mind and run back into the bathroom. With a sigh, she slipped her hands around his hips, cupped his ass, and pulled him tight against her. His cock pressed into her belly and every negative thought about trying this trick for him fled her mind. After all, it was such a little thing, and no one besides Ethan would witness her humiliation if she fell flat.
“You think I can talk you into wearing this every day while you clean around the house?” He lifted her skirt and lightly spanked her ass.
“Mm…” She squirmed against him, snorted, and leaned her head back. “No. Maybe if you’re really nice I’ll do this on your birthday. Or the second Monday in July.”
Ethan raised his brows. “What happens that day?”
“It’ll be our anniversary.” She shook her head. “Look at you, Ethan Tolene. What’s it been, a whole six weeks and you’ve already forgotten the day we met?”
He chuckled. “Well, yeah, I’ve been a little busy.”
She stopped smiling. “I know. I hope with all my heart that we find Jordy soon. I can’t thank—”
“Shh…for tonight, I want you to relax.
Tomorrow, we’ll go back to searching.” Dani nodded. Caught in the hard truth that they’d searched and questioned almost every resident in Drover—werewolf and human—she tried not to let the hopelessness of the situation drag her down. She sighed. “I’m so glad I have you.”
“Forever, little one. We are one. Neither one of us will ever be alone again.”
He slid his hand along her body, stroking the skin at the lower part of her back where her vest didn’t quite reach her skirt. She remained still, falling into a haze of passion, her worries disappearing, warmth filling her soul.
She arched into his touch. He slowly traced the line of material at her waist. A sweet combination of shivers and burning heat came from her womb. She moaned. “You’re driving me crazy.”
He turned her around so her back faced his chest. He groaned. “I’m afraid the sight of you will have me shooting my cum without pleasing you first.”
She sighed. Her heart was already aroused.
His words, his attention, his love were the only foreplay required. Sometimes she thought his facial expression when excited would send her off into a full-blown orgasm.
Not wanting to wait, she stepped away from him, widened her legs, arched backward, and peered over her shoulder to the floor. “I’m gonna try a backbend. Wish me luck.”
“You don’t need any, Dani. You succeed at anything you try.”
She raised her arms above her head, arched her neck back, and let herself fall backward to the ground. With her feet and hands planted firmly on the carpet, her body bowed in a backbend, her stomach in the air. “Oh, God, I did it.”
Ethan flipped up her skirt. “Fuck…that you did. You are so beautiful, all soft, smooth skin shining up at me. Your pussy lips are all juicy and ripe, ready for my mouth.” He fingered her slit. Her limbs quivered and she arched her back more, spreading her feet wider to allow Ethan to view all of her. Her pulse thrummed in her head as gravity changed the flow of blood.
