Page 41 of Desire Him
When she adjusts to this new feeling, she lets go of his neck and tilts her head to the side, waiting for his turn.
“Shit. Shit, shit, shit,” he groans. He stills inside her with a roar as he finds his climax, and then he bites into her waiting neck. Val gasps. The bite hurts at first, but pleasure soon takes over. So much pleasure that she cums again, her walls rippling around his cock. She screams and grinds against him. The orgasm is intense as it is with all mates, but she wasn’t prepared for it.
When he’s finished and she comes down from her orgasm, he gently releases her and rests his forehead against hers. Their breathing is heavy, but he manages, “Are you okay?”
She nods. “Yes. Are you?”
He gently kisses her. “The bond should tell you exactly how I feel right now.”
She knows. She can feel it right there, in the pocket of her heart that’s only his. “I know, but tell me anyway.”
He smiles down at her. “It should tell you that I feel the same. That I love you with my whole heart. That I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. That I want to do it again just to prove those things to you.”
She reaches up and brushes a few beads of sweat from his cheek. “I feel exactly the same way. I love you, Wayne. I’ve always loved you, and I’ve always wanted you.”
“I love you too. I’m just sorry I’m an idiot and it took me a while.”
She shrugs. “In the end, I got you. The journey . . . while it was painful, it was worth it.”
He kisses her one more time before turning off the shower. “Come on. Let’s get you some clothes on.”
He opens the sliding door and grabs the towel as she says, “Is that a requirement?”
Snapping his face back to her, he chuckles under his breath. “Absolutely not.” And then he tugs her out of the shower, takes her to his bed, and lays her down on it.
He spends the rest of the night proving his love to her, and when the morning comes around, they head to the alphas’ house to tell them the good news and get an update.
The alphas and Becca had returned late last night, except Draven. Draven stayed behind with Sammi to organize an alpha for them. A true alpha. One that will make them a legitimate pack that will help get rid of wolfcalm. They don’t know who that is yet, but the Head Alpha and Wayne have faith that they’ll find someone suitable.
Viola took the news hard that her husband was dead, but the pack spends the next few weeks being attentive to her, making sure she isn’t alone.
It doesn’t take long for Val and Wayne to fall into a steady rhythm of being mates. By Christmas, they discover that they are expecting. Wayne beams and dotes on Val until they have the baby the following year. By then, a new alpha has been appointed to the city, and peace between the three packs has settled over the land.
