my ass in your wolf form.”
“Travis...”
“Emma, just trust me. I promise you this won’t hurt.”
“How do you know?”
“I will walk you through it. I swear on my life, I would never do anything to hurt you.”
Something inside of her knew that he was telling the truth and that he wouldn’t lie to her. She nodded her head slowly before standing and slowly stripping from her clothes. While she would normally be shy undressing, in front of Travis it felt like a perfectly normal thing to do.
“You’re stunning.”
Emma’s eyes widened, as her eyes were drawn to Travis’ groin again. While they were talking about shifting, he was soft; but since she had taken her clothes off, things had taken a drastic turn.
“Oh...”
“Just shift.” Travis’ voice was deep and gravelly, almost like he wasn’t human.
“I don’t know how.”
“Close your eyes and imagine your wolf. Don’t think about it hurting. Think about the wolf standing in your place instead of you.”
Emma nodded her head again before closing her eyes. She envisioned the wolf standing in her place. There was slight tingling over her skin for a few seconds and she opened her eyes, sighing. Although a sigh wasn’t what came out, it was a deep, rumbling growl.
“You did it, Emma.”
Emma swung her head around and looked at her reflection in the glass cabinet. There, in her place, was the gray wolf. She let out a yipping sound and bounded over to Travis, placing both paws on his chest and knocking him to the ground before lapping at his face.
“Good girl.” Travis chuckled and scratched her behind the ears. Emma thought of being human again and moments later she was straddling his naked body.
“I did it.”
“You sure did...” His hands reached up and landed on her hips, not moving anywhere other than her hips.
“Thank you.”
“It’s been my pleasure.” Travis rolled his hips slightly and Emma gasped, as pleasure danced across her body. She gazed down at him, seeing a smirk on his handsome, rugged face. Two could play that game, she thought.
She faked a yawn and raised her arms above her head, stretching her body and pushing her chest out. Her breasts were now horizontal to his face.
“Well, I guess we should get back to work now.” Emma smiled and climbed off him. As she headed to the kitchen again, she made sure to add an extra sway in her step. In response, he growled so loudly that Emma could hear it as she pulled her apron back on.
“Emma, you do bring out some wild urges inside of me,” Travis said, as he growled and pulled his apron on, too.
“Sorry, I don’t sleep with someone on the first date.”
“So, this is a date, is it?” Travis walked forward and backed her up against the counter, his body boxing her in.
“Hmm, maybe soldier.” Emma trailed her fingertips across the revealed section of his side. She was delighted when she saw that the contact caused him to shudder.
“This isn’t a very good date. Why not let me take you on an official one?”
“Why would you want to do that?”
“Well, I can’t sleep with my mate without getting to know her first, now can I?” Travis bent down and placed a kiss on each of the claw marks that poked out from under the apron. Emma shivered and smiled down at him. Being Travis’ mate isn’t unappealing in the slightest, she thought.
“When?”
“Tomorrow night?”
“Deal. Let’s get these cupcakes done.” Emma reached around and spanked on his ass with a giggle. The night moved quickly and, by two in the morning, there were one hundred iced cupcakes, ready for Mrs. Humphrey to pick up for her grandson.
Emma and Travis stopped on their way out of the bakery to pick up their clothes before leaving for the night. Emma went to sleep that morning with a smile on her face. She was able to control her wolf and there was a
