"Three hours had slipped by since Natalie and I had lost ourselves in each other all over again. Her bite still tingled against my shoulder like a brand of wildfire, searing into my soul in the best way imaginable. We'd collapsed into each other afterward, exhausted and breathless, her scent tangled with mine, our hearts still racing from everything we'd shared. I had cleaned us up the best I could—wet towels, soft strokes across her flushed skin, careful not to wake her completely. And then we'd drifted off, our limbs entangled, her head resting on my chest like it belonged there, like it always had.
The moon had long since risen when I stirred, the warmth of her body tucked against mine making it nearly impossible to move. But she shifted first, her lashes fluttering open against my skin, and when our eyes met, I saw her wolf staring back at me.
"Nice to see you, handsome," she murmured, her voice hoarse, sultry from sleep and sin.
