Hope surged within her, and she leaned  in, pressing her lips against his. Whispering in his ear, she said, “Conner,  I love you. Please come back to me.”

A groan came from his lips, and she could have shouted at the rafters. “Conner, can you hear me?”

As if sunlight streamed into the  room despite the darkness of night, his skin began to color again, his normal healthy tan returning in minutes. He opened his eyes and frowned. “Did we oversleep?”

She laughed and cried at the same time, leaning over to kiss him. “It’s a brand-new day, my love!” Hurrying to the door, she  shouted for Noah and Chantal, who came running.

Too excited to stand still, she rocked on  her heels when they rushed in and huggedhim. Conner glared at Noah when  Noah threw his arms around him.

“What the hell is going on?” he asked.

“You were shot, dumbass. Don’t you remember?” Noah replied.

“Not a damn thing. Oh, wait, the hunters.”  He turned to Katya.  “Peter. Sonofabitch.  Peter brought the hunters in here. He tried  to kill you. And I killed him, instead.” He

reached for his chest and felt the bandage, then  looked back up at  her. “I guess I didn’t

die.”

Katya laughed and swiped away the tears, perching on the bed next to him. “No,

thank God.  You didn’t die.”

He swept her hair away from her neck. “You look beautiful. I love you, Katya. I don’t want to miss the opportunity to say that, in case  I drop dead in the next few minutes.”

Her skin broke out in chills, the moment  too incredible to comprehend. His  touch sent her heart soaring, his smile touched her soul. She thought she’d never feel  the warmth of his hands on her again. “I love you, too, Conner.”

The tears wouldn’t stop, but she didn’t care.

She had the man she loved back. For the first time in her life, she started to think

that there was actually something to look forward to.

Chapter Fifteen

“Would you all quit hovering over me like  I’m going to expire  in the next five

minutes?”

“Now what would Mom say if she knew we’d  let you get out of bed before you’re

ready?” Chantal asked with a smug smile.

“I’ve already talked to Mom and she knows I feel fine.”

“You look pretty weak to me,” Noah quipped.

“Barely able to stand on your own, actually,” Chantal added.

“You’re both full of shit. That’s how I know  I’m all better now. The two of  you are

annoying me.”

“Ah, well, maybe things are back to normal  again,” Noah said. “Maybe it’s time we  both take our leave of Braslieu so we can get on with our own lives.”

He should be so lucky. Conner glared at his brother and  sister and swung his legs  over the side of the bed, the sheet nestled  in  his crotch.  Chantal glowered back, and  Noah just grinned.

“I’m naked. I’m getting up. Get out.”

For the past twenty-four hours they had been driving him nuts. Catering to him,  not letting him get up except to go to the  bathroom. He needed a shower, a shave, and  he wanted a goddamn steak, not the flimsy excuses for food they’d  been bringing him.

Soup. Who the fuck ate soup as a meal? His body was fine. His recuperative powers  restored, he was more than ready to  assume his normal  responsibilities.

Though he  really did enjoy the part where Katya spent every moment with him. They’d spent a lot of time talking, which  was all she’d allow, since she told him he  wasn’t nearly well enough for what
 
he
 
had in  mind.

Ha! That’s what she thought. By the time  he’d cleaned up, then had Noah sneak him in a huge steak dinner, he felt refreshed, strong, and horny as hell.

The next stop on his trip to full recovery was having his  wife for dessert.

He’d missed her touch, her scent, the feel of  her soft ass nestled in his crotch when  they slept at night. He missed the perky tips  of her breasts and the sweet honey of her

pussy.

And he was going to take possession of all of  those…tonight.

Slipping under the sheets, he leaned against the headboard and waited for her.

True to form, she breezed through the doorway. She hadn’t left him for more than a  couple hours at a time since he’d awakened  from the long sleep  that had healed his body.

“You look great,” she said, her smile brightening the room more than any artificial light could.

“So do you.” Edible, in fact.

“Are you tired? How do you feel?” She pressed her palm  to his forehead. He took  the opportunity to peek down her blouse,  wishing he could lick between her breasts.

Soon. “Yeah, I’m kind of tired. Ready to go to bed?”

“Sure. Let me go take a shower and I’ll be right back.”

He waited,  his cock getting harder by the minute as he thought of all the things he  wanted to do with Katya. Listening to the sounds she made while she showered, the  way she hummed  when she combed her hair, the smell of the lotion she  slathered all  over her body, had his balls aching by the time she came out of the bathroom  in all her naked glory.

Her damp hair fell in waves, sections of it  partially hiding her nipples. The soft lips of her pussy were visible as she moved toward  him. His cock lurched against the sheet  and he put his hands in  his lap to disguise the evidence of his need.

Did she have any idea how sexy she was  when she walked? God, he was hungry.

Ravenous, in fact. Starving to death for a taste of his woman.

Naked, she slipped into bed and turned off the light, ready to curl up next to  him…barely next to him…like she had last night.

But not this time. This time, he had a big surprise for her.

“Conner!” she squealed when he pulled her against him and nestled his hard cock  between her buttocks. She scooted away, flipped on the light and looked down at his cock as if she never expected to see him with a hard-on again. “How did
 
that
 
happen?”

He grinned.  “In the usual way. I’ve been thinking about you.”

She kept glancing at his shaft. “Are you sure you’re up to this?”

“What do you think?”

Finally,  the  concerned  frown lines  on her  face diminished, and  she smiled. “Good. I’ve been waiting for you to feel up to it again.”

“Baby, I’m up.”

She grinned. “Make love to me, Conner.”

That was all he needed to hear. Shifting  her underneath him, he covered her body  with his, rocking his throbbing shaft against her moistened slit. He kissed her,  devouring her mouth like a man who’d been  abandoned in the desert without water.

There was no place he could touch without wanting to glide over it twice, no spot  on her body that he kissed that  he didn’t want to go back  and taste again. Desperation  pulled at him, the need to possess every inch of her and never let her go.

She threaded her fingers through his hair. “I thought I’d lost you.”

He licked her lips. “I know. But I’m stronger  than you think. I’ll  always be here totake care of you, Katya. And our children and our pack. I’m never going to leave you.  Not until we’re both very, very old.”

She smiled, love sparkling in her eyes. “I  know. I have  faith in  you, Conner, and I’ll never doubt again.”

He closed his eyes as her words washed over  him, her love for him a tangible thing.  He didn’t know what he’d done to deserve the love of a woman like Katya, but he was going to make damn sure to show her his appreciation every single day for the rest of their lives.

Starting now.

“Spread your legs for me, baby. I’ve  been dying for a taste of you.”

She whimpered and complied, planting her  feet on the bed and raising her knees.  He leaned up and looked down at her  spread-eagled for his viewing pleasure.

Her nipples  stood upright and begged for  his mouth. Her belly quivered and her hips lifted in silent invitation.

The problem was he didn’t know where to  start. Nipples. Definitely nipples. Hebent over and swiped his tongue over one hard peak, then the other, then began alternating one with the other until she reached for his head and pushed him south.

“Oh, but I love playing with these pretty nipples, baby.”

“Lick me, Conner,” she said, her breath coming in gasps.

“I am licking you.”

She glared at him. “Not
 
there
. My pussy, dammit, and hurry!”

He laughed. “That was an alpha talking,  for sure. Your wish is my command,  Princess.”

His tongue blazed a trail down her abdomen, stopping to slide inside her belly button. She giggled,  the throaty sound more  enticing than any moan he’d ever heard.  He paused when he reached her sex, mesmerized by the look of  her pussy. Her lips were pink, swollen and wet. Unable to resist, he  licked her slit and circled her clit with his tongue.

She bucked  against his  mouth. “Do that again.”

He did, and she moved her hips against his  mouth, sliding her sweet pussy against his lips.

“I could eat you all night long, Katya.” He  slipped a finger inside  her cunt, loving the way her muscles squeezed and pulled. It  made him ache to drive his cock inside that tight vise until she squeezed  every drop of cum from  his balls.

First, his woman had to get off. Then it was his turn. Leaving one finger inside herpussy, he tunneled in and out while covering  her clit  with his mouth, licking back andforth like a  ticking clock, following her nonverbal signals until he  hit just that right spot and—

“Oh, God, Conner!” She flew over the edge, her cunt spasming around his finger,  sweet nectar pouring out of her. He held onto her clit while she slammed  her pussy against his mouth.

Once the spasms ended, her hips lowered  and she lay there, eyes closed, panting  heavily. He crawled over her and she opened  her eyes, smiling at him. He  slipped the  finger moistened with her creamy cum inside her mouth. She lapped at it greedily, sucking the digit the same way she sucked his cock.

His shaft was jealous of the  attention his finger received, but  he’d be damned if he  was going to dally any longer  than necessary. There’d be plenty of time to feel her hot  mouth surrounding his dick. Right now he wanted inside her wet cunt.

“Turn over, baby.”

She did as he instructed, flipping over onto her belly. He slid two pillows under her  hips, raising her ass high off the bed.

“You like fucking me this way, don’t you?” she asked, craning  her neck around to  look at him.

“You know  it. I’m a wolf, baby. I like it from behind.” He leaned in and kissed her,  then nestled between her legs and directed his cock toward that magic spot.

Katya was the magic in his life, what he’d  been missing and had never realized it.  And now, she was his forever. “My woman. My pussy. Mine.”

The last word Conner uttered in a fierce  growl, firing up  Katya’s nerve endings and making her desperate for his possession. “Yes, Conner. Yours.”

He drove inside her, burying his shaft deep  and hard. She drove backward to meethis thrusts, shockwaves of intense pleasure  hitting every nerve ending in  her  body.

His movements were relentless. He leaned  over her back, grabbing her arms and lifting them  over her head, then pinning  her in place so he could drive inside her harder.

“You ready to go again, baby? Because I don’t think I can hold out too long. I need to spurt cum deep inside you.”

His movements drove her clit against the pillows shooting sparks of need deep  inside her. When he bent over and grazed her neck with his teeth, then bit down to hold

her in place, she cried out.

Pain laced with the most exquisite pleasure imaginable took her over the edge.

“Fuck me, Conner! I’m going to come!”

He growled against her neck and sank his  teeth in deeper. She couldn’t move, could only lie there and feel every pulse of her orgasm as he pummeled her cunt with  jackhammer thrusts until she screamed. Her climax raged through her, primal, savage,  like the way Conner fucked her. Hot jets of cum spurted inside her, his life seed filling

her.

She panted to catch her breath, the aftershocks of her orgasm  still pulsing.  Connerwithdrew and lifted her off the pillows, collapsing onto his back and pulling her against him.

His eyes still blazed with the heat of passion, his body  damp with sweat, the same

as hers.

“I’m going to need another shower,” she teased.

His lips brushed hers slowly, seductively,  promising a night filled with sensual  delights. “That’s okay. I like shower sex.”
