“He was at the same restaurant when I took Olivia out the other night. He couldn’t keep his fucking eyes off of her and then had the balls to make a disrespectful comment.” A tingle of excitement runs through my body, hearing the jealousy in his voice.
What the hell is wrong with us?
“Ethan, watch your language at the table,” Caroline scolds him.
“You see, Caroline. That’s disrespect, and for his Alpha, of all people. I knew there was something I didn’t like about him,” Edwin rants, crossing his arms.
“You both need to calm down,” Caroline reasons. “Vanessa is a smart girl, and I think we all know she’s perfectly capable of standing up for herself. She’s twenty-three, and unless she’s in danger, it’s not our business. Her father and Alpha brother are not going to storm in on her date. He’s not her mate, and he won’t be here to stay, so you’re both going to leave it alone,” Caroline says with finality, but she’s not done. “And, as far as Austin looking at Olivia, well, Olivia is a beautiful woman. He’s a young man who’s going to notice that. I don’t have any doubt the two of you looked at women you shouldn’t have been looking at when you were that age. Sometimes we have to let things go.”
Ethan and Edwin both frown in silence, but neither is challenging Caroline’s opinion. I squeeze Ethan’s hand under the table, and he looks at me and sighs, squeezing my hand in return.
“Caroline, I want to thank you for handling all the Luna ceremony details. Is there anything I can do to help you?” I ask.
“I may need your input on some things soon, but I’ve got it all under control for now. I’ll make the selections and the guest list, and we have a very competent staff that will put it all together for us.”
I look at Ethan and smile. “I can’t wait.”
Ethan leans in to kiss me. “Me too.”
Once we’ve finished cleaning up after dinner, Caroline says, “We need to be getting home.” Caroline gives us each a hug. Edwin hugs me as well, while he and Ethan promise to keep each other apprised of the Austin situation.
Ethan pulls me to his chest after seeing his parents out. “It was a good night.”
“It was good, all except for my little mood swing.”
“Stop,” he says. “You have to let it go. You had a moment, and I hate to say it, but now that you feel the bond, it probably won’t be your last.”
“Great, so now I’m going to be that jealous girl?”
“Don’t worry. I’ll be here to reassure you in every possible way I can that I’m totally and completely yours,” he says with a sexy grin.
“You better.” I smile, giving his chest a playful push and sinking into his arms.
Ethan
“It was great having them with us tonight,” I say as we make our way into the bedroom, “but I’ve been dying to get you to myself all evening.” I kiss her hand and pull her to me, claiming her with my mouth.
“Me too. We’re officially mated. We have some celebrating to do tonight.”
“You have some marking me to do tonight.” I nuzzle into her neck and kiss her mark. She moans as the waves of pleasure are sent through her body. “Are you still up for it?”
“Yes.” Her breath quickens as I tease her mark, and her scent overwhelms me.
“I want people to know I’m yours.”
“Trust me, I want that too.” She puts her arms around my neck, kissing me eagerly.
I take her face in my hands. “I love you,” I say, kissing her again. “I knew you were the one the moment I saw you that night at the wedding reception, and now I get to look into these beautiful eyes every day for the rest of my life. I get to kiss these lips,” I say, kissing her gently, “touch this gorgeous body,” I say, running my hands up and down her arms, “and I get to say you’re mine.” I look into her stunning green eyes. “Soon, everyone in our world will know I’m yours, but I hope you know I’m already yours. I’ve been yours since the moment we met.”
Olivia
“I do know, but now, I think it’s time to show the world.” I run my hands over his chest and shoulders and place gentle kisses on his lips.
He growls, moving my hair aside to expose my neck, kissing and nipping at my mark. A rush of euphoria, like nothing I’ve ever felt before, rushes through me. I release a breathy moan as I allow him access. I slowly unbutton and remove his shirt, tracing every well-defined muscle with my fingers.
He pulls me to him, kissing me with heat. “You smell fucking delicious,” he whispers, kissing my mark, and sending a rush of ecstasy through my body.
“So do you.” I breathe out a slight moan before inhaling again to take in as much of his scent as possible. I reach down and unbutton his pants while he teases my neck. His pants slide down and he steps out of them, leaving his boxer briefs.
