Chapter 11
Hayley POV
For the last week and a half, Cooper has arrived early every morning, before the rest of the crew, just to 'keep me in the loop'. He appears just in time to enjoy a cup of coffee and a quiet chat on the porch before I dash off to work, and it has become the highlight of my day. Seeing his handsome smiling face as he climbs out of his truck cheers me up without fail, and just being close to him sets my pulse racing.
No guy I have ever met has taken things this slow though, especially after teasing me with that kiss the first day we met. I would adore it if it weren't driving me crazy. I want him and I think that he wants me, so what is the problem? Maybe I'm reading the signals completely wrong. My current predicament is testament to the fact that I'm not always a great reader of people's true intentions.
I already have two mugs in my hand as I hear his heavy boots hit the porch steps and my heart skips a beat. He turns straight for the porch swing to

Cooper POVIt hasn't been easy, but I have been taking things slowly with Hayley. After that first day where I lost control for a second and kissed her, I knew I needed to pull back and show her it's not just about sex for me. My restraint has been severely tested every morning as she greets me in her tiny shorts and tank tops, and light dressing gowns that do nothing to hide the amazing figure underneath from my hungry gaze.Something was different this morning though, and I could sense her desire and frustration as she watched me closely on the porch swing. Knowing those idiots were going to be arriving any minute was the only thing that stopped me from taking her in a deep kiss that would linger in her mind all day. I didn't leave any room for argument when I suggested dinner this evening. I let all the crew finish work early so I could tidy up her place, go home to shower and change, and head to the shops to get the food I needed and a nice bottle of wine.I

Hayley POV It feels like the words have barely left my mouth before Cooper lifts me, wrapping my legs around his waist as his mouth ravishes mine. His hands, lips, and tongue are everywhere as the passion that has been building between us just explodes and we can't seem to get close enough to each other. I cling to him as he moves us backward and props me up against the porch railing. One hand grips my breasts roughly, giving me the firm touch I so desperately need, squeezing and kneading as his other seeks the hem of my dress, lifting it and gaining access to my drenched panties. He runs a finger along my slit outside the material and my legs quiver, finally so close to getting his touch where I have wanted it for the last two weeks. "Damn, you're so wet for me Hayley." He growls his delight at finding my underwear soaked. "Does that pretty pussy of yours need to be taken care of?" Cooper whispers in my ear as he licks and bites my neck, still just lightly s

Hayley POV "I'm meeting Leila tonight for some drinks. She's bringing me to Taaffe's, is it any good?" I ask him as I gaze out the window at the woods passing by, soaking in the beautiful scenery. He doesn't answer for a few seconds, so I turn to look at him. His jaw is tense, and his hands are gripping the wheel tightly. Interesting, it doesn't seem like he is a fan. "It's ok," he answers slowly, "there isn’t much choice around here I suppose, but I don't think it's the kind of place you might be used to. It's not exactly classy, rustic might be a polite way of describing it. What's the occasion?" "Leila said that the party next weekend isn't really for her or Rex, it's just an excuse for your Mum to invite everyone she knows. She wants to let loose a little on her own I guess, and she was looking for a partner in crime," I admit. He laughs lightly, and the tension leaves his hands. "Well, that's true. Leila's birthday is just an excuse for my Mum to

Hayley POVAfter an hour of walking up the well-worn trail that Cooper has brought us to, he veers off the main path and holds his hand out to help me over some fallen branches as he follows some unmarked route through the trees. It's unnecessary but very chivalrous all the same. Although when he picks me up by the waist to lift me over a small stream, I suspect he is just finding excuses to touch me. And I am totally on board with that.We break through the trees to an open area of flat rock jutting out of the side of the mountain with an amazing view down the valley on both sides. The bright green of the spring foliage in the morning light is stunning, with mountains rising on both sides of the valley, some with small snow caps remaining. The bright blue sky reflects off the ribbon of small lakes below. It looks just like a postcard, and I can't help but gasp as I look from side to side, taking in the beauty of it all."Nice, isn't it?" Cooper says, coming up

Hayley POVLeila stares into my closet while I sit cross-legged on the bed, watching on in amusement. I know that I have a ridiculous number of formal dresses for a girl who has moved to a small town to run a bed and breakfast in the mountains, but I couldn't bring myself to get rid of them all when they cost so much money. Hopefully, someone will get some use out of them again at some point, like me and Leila at this conference."No, we're still going shopping," She argues with me, "It's bad enough that my parents make me go to these things when I'm not even involved in the business, the least I should get for it is a new dress or two.""Ok fine, we'll go shopping, but just for you!" I laugh, "I need a new fridge more than I need a new dress.""Well, that's just sad." She teases, looking horrified on my behalf. "And tell me again what was so bad about your old lifestyle again?" She presses, turning back to rifle through the gowns again, pulling out a par

Cooper POVRex's flight was late getting in, and I'm already impatient to get going when I finally see him saunter in. I realize I had forgotten how forbidding he looks in person when I see him walk through arrivals. He's more tanned than before, and his black hair is now cut military short. The all-black outfit of jeans, boots and a fitted t-shirt doesn't help to soften his look, and I see plenty of people giving him wary, but admiring, glances. He looks fit and healthy compared to the last time I saw him in person and I'm so relieved.Getting rejected by his mate nearly broke him and he had faded away to a shadow of his former self, both physically and mentally. Never a big chatterbox to begin with, he had become even more withdrawn and isolated. None of us were sure that his leaving to go traveling had been the right thing to do at the time, but when one of the elders had suggested it, we all agreed it was worth a shot.He smirks slightly as he approaches us,

Cooper POV The irritating sound of high-pitched fake laughter reaches my ears and I flinch, I know exactly who is coming our way to ruin the moment. Long red nails trail along my forearm where it's resting on the table in what I would imagine is supposed to be a seductive manner, but it just makes my skin crawl. I move my arm so that her hand drops away and look up, unsmiling and hopefully, unwelcoming. "Hi, Carla. What can I do for you?" I ask politely but coldly. She laughs again as if I have said the funniest thing she's ever heard and tosses her bleached blonde hair back over her shoulder. God, she is irritating. "Just thought I'd come over to say welcome back to Rex." She says but she never takes her eyes off me, doesn't even glance in his direction, showing that she doesn't give a shit about my brother being back. Silence has fallen over the rest of the table. Nobody else greets her or asks her to join us but Carla doesn't take the hint and puts her han

Cooper POV "What's on your mind Coop?" Marcus asks after a minute or so of silence, still not taking his eyes off the girls. The bear shifter isn't a pack member, but we've worked well together over the years, becoming as good friends as it seems is possible with the solitary man. "Don't see you here often, any reason, in particular, you're out tonight?" I turn to face him, but he doesn't turn to look at me, nor does his expression change even slightly. "Could say the same thing to you." He deadpans, lips tipping up slightly as he takes another drink. He's got me there. "Fair enough," I say. It's probably six months since I've been here and even then, I hated every second of it. Everyone acts differently around me now that I'm about to take over and it takes the joy out of socializing. Some are nervous around me, finding my aura overpowering. Others, mostly she-wolves, want to try and ingratiate themselves to me because of my power and position, alway
