struggle, discomfort, and confusion of keeping her inner wolf at bay waiting until the right moment to contact Ethan melted away. A euphoria of acceptance filled her senses. Ethan was hers.
He licked the curve of her neck. She laid her head back against the wood and closed her eyes.
Her womb pulsed and her pussy was not only wet, but warm and searching for him, pleading for Ethan to touch her most intimate places.
Dani seized Ethan’s head with her hands.
Opening her eyes, she gazed into his. “Fuck me.” He set his forehead on hers. His breath fanned her face. “Not yet, little one.” Her legs tightened around him. “Yes! I need this. You need this.”
Without letting her go, he carried her farther into the cabin and sat down on the couch. He situated her legs on one side of him and cradled her upper body in his embrace. But she was tense, waiting for him to take the next step, hoping he’d hurry.
“I’ll take care of you.” He unbuttoned her jeans and pulled the zipper down, then slid his palm against the flat of her stomach. He skimmed light fingers from hip bone to hip bone.
“Your body…Damn. Perfect. So damn perfect for me.”
She lifted her hips off his lap. Digging her shoes into the couch cushion, she arched against his touch. The size and strength of his hands, gentle and soothing upon her skin, had her trusting him completely. He wasn't the man everyone believed he'd become, but the werewolf she'd worshipped and dreamed about for years.
The one her father trusted and wanted for her.
“More. Please, more.”
He slid his hand down farther and grazed his middle finger over her swollen clit. The quick explosion of tiny jolts pulsed deep inside of her and spread throughout her body. The scent of her arousal grew thicker. She fell back on his lap, lost in the pleasure flooding her body.
“Take it, Dani. You’ll be all right.” Ethan slid his finger lower and teased the opening of her pussy. In. Out. In. Out. He stretched, loosened, and relaxed her inner muscles. He swiped his tongue along the length of his bottom lip, then brought his hand back to her clit and rubbed in a circular motion. “You’re so wet, so innocent.” The light, gentle pressure warmed her body.
“Yes.”
Ethan’s gaze softened, yet there was no doubting the intense control in the depth of his stare. The color of his irises changed from dark to yellow, his wolf showing itself through his eyes, speaking to her soul, telling her everything would be all right. To trust, and let him take care of her.
She moaned, but the sound was foreign and came from somewhere hidden inside of her. As if her wolf understood what was happening and wanted to come out and communicate with Ethan's wolf.
He captured her mouth and slipped his tongue between her lips. He growled against her mouth and urged her to open more. Wanting to please him, she teased, sucked, explored, and kissed him back.
She grasped his wrist, holding him in place as she ground her pussy against his fingers, heightening her pleasure. She groaned into his mouth, her wolf growing stronger.
She was close.
He rubbed her nub harder, faster. She pulled away from the kiss and arched her back. The muscles in her lower stomach tightened and somewhere deep within her womb a delightful pressure sent her over the edge filling her with the sweetest release.
Dani collapsed in Ethan’s arms. He slipped his hand out of her pants. Unable to keep her eyes open any longer, she curled against his chest. His heart drummed alongside her cheek.
She couldn’t make herself move.
“Rest, little one.” Ethan strummed her cheek with the pad of his thumb. “I’ll protect you.

Even after her breathing evened and she sighed in her sleep, Dani never gave up her hold on his shirt. Ethan stared down at her face, trying to figure out why his heart seemed to come alive since she found him. Her eyes were shut, but underneath those eyelids, the rapid movement told him she dreamed.
