Once outside, he turned and walked towards the forest that ran behind Creed and Dani's home.

“Where are we going?”

"Cabin's too far," he said, the sound a half growl-half snarl.

Her stomach tumbled.

He said nothing more until he stopped, which was probably just far enough away not to be heard.

He lifted her off his shoulder and pulled her down onto the ground on top of him. “I'm sorry, babe. But I about lost my shit in there when I walked in and saw you touching the baby. You looked so fucking sweet. It did something to me.”

“Made you crazy?” she asked, a smile across her face.

“You always make me crazy. But seeing you like that. Wow. I didn't expect that strong of a reaction.”

His hands were already under her shirt and unfastening her bra.

“Do you want a baby, Sawyer?”

He pinched her nipples and her head fell forward as pleasure rushed through her.

“I want to do everything in my power to make you happy. I'll give you anything you want.”

She braced her hands on the side of his face and tried to think through the delicious sensations his hands were still eliciting from her skin. "You already gave me the greatest gift I could have received. Two of them in fact."

His hands stilled and he looked into her eyes.

“Don't look so surprised,” she said. “Thanks to you I have love.”

He grinned and pressed a hard kiss to her lips. “That is true. You bewitched me from the beginning and made me fall in love with you. And I don't mind saying it again, but there is no taking that back. I'll be in love with you forever.”

Her heart melted. She wasn't sure she could possibly love him more, but every day he found a way to make it happen. Every. Single. Day.

She fell forward and kissed him. She believed her big, bad alpha who'd once been filled with nothing but fury meant every word he said. He really would do anything for her.

“Let's do it then. I want to feel your child growing inside me. And I want to see your face as you hold our baby for the first time.” There were tears streaming down her face now that he caught with his fingers and his tongue as they fell. “I love you so much, Sawyer.”

“You are my heart, Penelope, my mate.”

She fell on him again and rolled them to the side so she could reach down and cup him. His resulting moan was so full of fire, she nearly combusted.

“Wait.” He rolled them so he could pin her shoulders and stop her from touching him. “You said there were two things I gave you. What was the other?”

Her heart nearly burst with joy when the growl formed deep in her throat came out on a long, low howl that no distance would hide from their packmates.

“You gave me her,” she said, words getting a little difficult as the wolf inside her fought to come out. From the first shift that had come on suddenly after weeks of waiting, to now, her wolf had become the greatest life experience next to Sawyer's love she could have possibly experienced. “The wolf inside me has altered me in a way that I can't explain. Now, I owe you for so much more than just saving my life. That night on the beach, under the full moon of mating season, you gave me magic.”
