“Haha! Just wait until you find your mate. We’ll see how much reading you’ll get done.”
“I’ve got another year before I become old enough for my mate. Truthfully, I can’t wait for it. You two look really happy. To answer your question, no. Because you two can sense each other, the passion will build anytime one of you is in the mood.”
I blushed at his words because I was feeling needy right now, and I could feel Hunter’s stiff cock pressing against my ass. I moaned a little, and Gage’s face flushed with humor.
“We can continue this tomorrow when you two can think straight enough and have more questions,” he teased before getting ready to go. “Better yet, I should meet with each of you individually that way you’ll be less tempted to mate,” he joked before I growled at him as he closed the door.
“Now that we’re alone, what would you like to do, my wife?” Hunter murmured against my jaw as he placed tiny kisses on it.
“You know what I would like,” I purred in his ear. I was already shaking with lust.
“I love you, Cat. I love the way you purr, even though you’re part wolf now.”
“Well, I don’t have a tail to wag right now,” I teased as rubbed my ass on his throbbing cock.
“You’re bouncing that bottom nicely enough,” he rumbled.
Chapter 11—Hunter
Due to the uproar with Rocky we delayed the opening of the resort. It opened two weeks ago and had been a complete success. After thorough background checks and serious interviews, we managed to hire both humans and shifters. There were three new shifters from Redding that came down for the jobs. Creed recommended them, and it was a big reason I hired them.
The humans were all older and were left with duties that limited the contact with the shifter employees as often as possible. It was obvious to many that we all had bright, vivid eye colors, but most attributed it to our tribe of villagers, and our marriages to our neighbors. My wife was the manager of all of them since she knew how to deal with them. I still frankly, wasn’t a personable being. All I wanted was to be with my wife, but I needed to run the lands and the property and handle the pack members. We, for the most part, lived a peaceful life. Since sex wasn’t a temptation, affairs didn’t happen. Although I didn’t like the way some of the human men looked at my wife.
“So Chloe, how’s it going this morning?” I whispered as she stepped beside me. She smelled differently today. I didn’t know what it was, but I had a feeling the full moon had something to do with it. She was in heat, although I don’t think she knew it yet. It was a very faint scent that no one else but her mate would know, but as the Alpha my senses were enhanced.
“It’s great today. I’m hoping we don’t get any nuts visiting. The unmated all have the evening off. I’m actually about to leave, too. Although, I doubt I will find my mate any time soon.”
“Don’t seem upset, Chloe. You’ll find your mate. You’re still pretty young”
“Compared to you, but us females mate much sooner than twenty-four,” she complained.
“I know you females mate as early as eighteen, but I have a feeling it won’t be much longer. It’s just hard to find someone who’s at your level. You’re smart, strong, and beautiful. There aren’t many that could match you and two of us are your siblings.”
“Thanks, Hunter.” I gave her another squeeze before we were interrupted by one of my guests.
“Excuse me. I hate to interrupt such an intimate moment, but I’m looking for Catherine Kinney,” the woman said in a condescending tone. I looked at her and knew immediately that this horrible woman in front of me was Cat’s mother.
Babe, stay in the office for me. I almost pleaded.
Why?
Damn it, woman, keep your ass in the office.
“May I ask what you need to see Catherine Grey about?”
“I’m not asking for Miss Grey. I’m looking for my daughter. She supposedly got a job here, but I guess she just lied,” she remarked with venom. I was barely holding my wolf in when she added, “There you are. I thought you lied about working here.” She approached my wife, then busted out in outrage. “You’re pregnant!? Are you fucking stupid? I told you to keep your legs closed and end all of your affairs. We’re going to be a disgrace!” she bemoaned.
My eyes shifted, and I could feel my canines lengthening. I wanted to break her neck on the spot, but then I heard a gasp. I turned to my wife, and knew she heard my thoughts.
Please stay calm, my love. You need to contain yourself. Go with Chloe, and I’ll deal with her.
