Dani woke up to find Luca's arm wrapped tightly around her waist, clasping her against his chest as he snored lightly near her ear. He was snuggled up to her back and as she squirmed trying to move away from him he didn't loosen his grip. Instead he pulled her closer and she felt the bulge in his boxers growing hard against her ass with every tiny movement that she made. "Luca," she whispered, not wanting anyone in the front of the jet to hear her. "Luca, wake up." He took a deep breath, pressing against her again, harder, his hands running up under her shirt, leaving a trail of sparks in their wake as they found their way to her breasts. "You aren't wearing a bra?" He murmured sleepily, his lips brushing lightly against her ear. "I'm surprised you didn't notice earlier." She replied as he tweaked her nipples lightly before running his hands back down over her smooth, hard stomach, enjoying the feeling of her tiny waist. "I guess I'm just a gentleman." He bit her earlobe gently as

"We're home." He nuzzled her ear and she stretched, blinking as she stared out the window in surprise. She couldn't believe she had slept through the jet landing."What time is it?" Dani rolled onto her back, wiggling her toes and staring up at the ceiling before turning to look at him. She really had no idea how long she had been asleep."It's 3 o'clock in the afternoon. But only because we gained an hour by moving over a timezone. You slept through lunch." Her stomach growled loudly as if in agreement with what he had just said. "But I thought I should let you sleep. You've been through a lot." She narrowed her eyes at him and he shrugged. "In the last twenty four hours I mean. Actually it's been less than that. Isn't it strange to think that twenty four hours ago my plane had just touched down yet on your old pack's land? And we hadn't even met."Bending he brought his lips down against hers lightly, so that sparks flooded her body as his mouth brushed by, knowing how it would l

Dani stood before him, wearing nothing at all, and Luca found that he was breathless, his heart pounding in his chest as he stared at her waiting on the edge of the lake, her long dark hair flowing down around her shoulders. He'd promised himself that he wasn't going to have sex with her until things were at least a little bit less complicated, which meant at a bare minumum one of two things needed to happen.The first requirement that needed to be met, was that she had stopped talking about running away and that she had agreed to stay and be his Luna. He knew that the heartache of her rejection would be a dozen times worse if she did it after he had mated and marked her and so he had to try his absolute best not to give in to the hormones and natural mate pull that was telling every cell in his body to take her in his arms and have his way with her.The second requirement was that she needed to feel safe.The longer Luca spent with Dani the more he began to realize that if he coul

"As I'm sure you know our pack is the largest on the continent." Dani glanced at Luca out of the corner of her eye and saw that his chest seemed to have swollen slightly with pride as he made this statement. She rolled her eyes and turned her attention forward. "Exactly three thousand wolves, prior to the addition of you and your mother, live in our town. We have five restaurants, a gas station, a hair salon, a barber shop, a coffee shop, a bakery, two grocery stores, a boutique, a vet's office, two doctor's offices, two bars, a bookshop, a flower shop, and a bowling alley. I'm probably forgetting a few businesses, but you get the idea. We have just about everything you could need, right here in Lovellton." Dani's eyebrows danced across her forehead a second time as a stifling feeling of suffocation pressed down on her chest. Lovellton looked like a lovely little town. But she couldn't imagine being stuck here for the rest of her life, limited to a handful of paltry shops and small t

"Everyone understands. We're newly mated. It's expected. He rubbed her back, his hand traveling lower and lower with each stroke towards the tempting curve of her ass. She pressed her face harder against his chest, still reliving the embarrassment. "Now, I meant what I said. We need a shower. Your things are already upstairs. Let's go get cleaned up, and then you really can check and see how your mother's doing. I know you won't be able to relax until you make sure she'd alright." Dani lay back on his bed, freshly showered and dressed, listening to the water still running as Luca took a shower of his own. Closing her eyes she imagined him, naked, the water from all those luxurious high powered shower heads running over his body. And that bathroom, she shook her head at the thought. It might be the best thing about the entire house.The interior room was made with what appeared to be smooth natural stone, which had felt cool under her feet as she walked into the warm room. There was
