“Ethan, stop! Just stop! Enough of the jealous bullshit. Please. I’m not protecting him.” I sigh. “I don’t want Colin. I’m not protecting Colin. I love you. Do you hear me? I love you.”
He pulls his hands over his face with a groan. “I need you, Olivia. When you were gone, I felt like I couldn’t fuckingbreathe without you.” He then pulls me toward him, hugging me tightly. He inhales deeply, taking in my scent and then physically relaxing a little. He pulls back, and kisses me softly. “It was wrong of me to talk to you like I did earlier. I’m sorry.”
“Nick is right. We’ve got to get this mate bond completed so you can freaking relax. Now, can you and I move forward together tonight? I’m going to need your support to meet your family.”
“You have my full support, baby. Every fucking ounce of it.” He leans down and his warm lips meet mine. “I need a drink,” he says with a dry laugh. “Would you like a glass of wine to relax before we go to dinner?”
“Yes, please. Just half a glass, though. I already had two glasses with Chloe, and the last thing I need is to show up tipsy for dinner with your family.”
He laughs. “Half a glass—coming up.”
I follow him into the kitchen and gaze out the window while he pours the wine and gets himself a beer. I feel him come up behind me, and the warmth of his hard body presses against me. He moves my hair aside and kisses my neck. My arousal immediately clenches with desire as a sigh escapes my mouth.
“Ethan,” I begin, unable to form additional words.
“Hmm?” He turns me around and lifts me so I’m sitting on the counter, face to face with him. My legs wrap around his waist as he continues to tease my neck, making my head swim.
“If we keep this up, we’re going to end up in the bedroom.”
“It doesn’t have to be the bedroom. We haven’t fully made up yet. I need you to know how sorry I am.”
“What about my wine?” I ask with a smile.
“I promise this will be better,” he says, kissing my neck.
I can’t resist this man. I give in when he kisses me. His lips are hot and commanding. I wrap my arms around his neck, and he carries me to the living room. We undress one another in afrenzy, throwing our clothes in all directions around the room. He turns behind him to lay a soft, faux fur blanket down on the couch.
Sitting on the couch, he pulls me down to straddle him, then guides me down onto him and I moan as he holds me steady. He wraps his arms tight around my body, and the heat from his chest warms mine. He claims my lips in a commanding kiss as we move in sync together. His kiss moves to the valley of my neck, and his lips possess the delicate skin, while his tongue teases and tickles. I wrap my arms around his neck, and bring my forehead to his as I feel the tension building within me. Our breathing becomes heavy as our pace quickens. His mouth swallows my cries as I find my release, and he growls against my lips as he joins me.
He pulls me to his broad chest and caresses my back with his warm hands as we lie on the couch together. Looking into my eyes, he kisses me with light, gentle lips.
“Are we all made up now?” he asks, with his hopelessly charming smile.
“I don’t know,” I say with a giggle. “You’ve been an awfully bad boy.”
“I guess I’ll just have to apologize again later. Or maybe again right now?” He starts kissing my neck, and teasing the sensitive skin with his tongue.
I release a heavy sigh as I try to keep my head on straight. “Ethan, as much as I’m tempted to let you apologize as many times as you want, I need to get up, or we’re never going to make it to dinner with your parents tonight.” He groans and pulls me closer. “We’ll have plenty of time for more of this later.” My fingers explore his soft hair and I give him a gentle kiss.
“Do you promise?” he whispers against my lips.
“Yes, of course.”
“Okay, I’m holding you to that.”

Reluctantly releasing her, I watch as she collects her clothes from around the room. “I’m going to take a quick shower and get dressed for dinner,” she says.
I stand and pull my jeans on. “Good idea. You don’t want my parents to smell sex all over you the first time they meet you,” I say with a grin.
“What?” She turns to me with wide eyes. “Oh, my God. Ethan, seriously?”
“Enhanced senses, remember.”
Her mouth drops open. “Thanks for making me even more nervous than I already am.”
