Twice The Growl(27)

“Today we go visit our pack,” Theron declared just two days after their mating.

“Are you sure? I mean, I thought you guys were all worried about me being around your pack women,” she grumbled. She didn’t like that they took turns going back and forth to deal with the Wildwoods Pack and she was often left without one of them. Though it gave her alone time with the other mate, she would like the time to be because they wanted it that way, not because they were afraid to bring her around their people.

“They’ll get used to you. Or deal with me.”

“What if they don’t like me?” she muttered.

“Then I’ll handle them.”

She shook her head with a grin. “You can’t fix everything for me, Theron. I have to be able to handle your pack too if they’re going to be a part of my life.”

“Yes, but that’s what I’m there for. I’m the alpha. You’re my mate. And I won’t let anyone disrespect you.”

“I’m more worried about you not letting me out of your sight until you’ve had your way with me again.”

He gave her a hot look. “You have gotten to know me so well. You’ve gotten used to my kind of sex.”

She had and boy did she love it.

“You mean the all day, every day kind?” She was still getting used to the aches from the longest night of sex ever. She’d enjoyed it, but damn had she been fucked raw. Of course, just thinking about it made her instantly wet.

“I like that smell,” he said with devilish grin.

“Oh, cut it out. You do this to me every single time you look at me,” she grumbled.

He sat down on the armrest of the sofa and pulled her between his legs. “I want you to always have that need for me. For us. I want you to get wet when we look at you. When anything reminds you of us. You are ours and that means we want you to want to be with us. All the time.”

She sniffed. “That doesn’t help me when I have to go to work, you know.”

He chuckled and hugged her. She curled her arms around his neck and leaned into him.

“I know it doesn’t, but you decided you wanted to continue working. We’ve given you the option to stop.”

She shook her head. “No way am I depending on you two for money for the rest of my life. I’m an independent woman. I pay my own way in life.”

He slid his hands down her back and pressed her ass forward until her pussy was flush with his erection.

“Oh, Theron, stop...”

“I won’t. You are my mate and I want to fuck you every hour of every day. You have a body that makes me so hard I can’t think straight.”

She gave up. Heck who was she kidding? She wanted him to fuck her too. She walked back and tugged the dress over her head. He was so easy. He growled and she giggled. “Connor will be sad he missed this.”

“He can have alone time with you later.” Theron grinned.

That was the amazing thing about them. They both knew she needed to spend alone time with each so their individual relationships could deepen. It was what made the entire mating that much more special. She glanced down and before she knew it he threw her over his shoulder and ran for the bedroom.

“Theron!”

“You walk too slow, baby. I want to fuck now!”

She laughed as she landed on the sheets in a tangle. She didn’t get a chance to fix herself when he was on her, his hands held either side of her head.

“I love you, Tally.”

She gasped, her heart beat painfully loud in her ears. “Are you sure? It’s so soon.”

He nodded. “I don’t want to hear you say the words if or until you ever feel the emotion. But I wanted you to know. You’ve seeped into my pores, sunk into my blood and made me an addict. I can’t be without you. I don’t want to be.”

She blinked back tears. She didn’t think Theron had those kinds of words in him. “I don’t know what to say.”

“Don’t say anything, love.” He pressed a kiss over her lips. “You’re here. That’s all I need.”

She nodded and kissed him back. The relationship between them grew another string at that moment to make their link that much stronger. When he made love to her that day, she felt it in the deepest areas of her heart. Those areas she’d thought untouched until then.

Tally bit her lip. Nerves sucked. But she didn’t know how to stop herself from showing them. Theron led her into a community of houses in a forested area. It was growing late in the day. The sun’s light had dimmed through the thick trees. She’d swear it was closer to nighttime than early evening.

“Theron...”
