Wolf’s Glory (28 page)

The sorrow in her voice stabbed him. He kissed her forehead gently. “I know, sunshine.”

“But I think I want to be.” She rolled her hips up against him. “So why don"t you get going on that?”

He pulled out and slid back in. Then he paused. “Sunshine, are you sure?”

“Positive,” she answered immediately. “Now would you please
do
something? I"m dying here!”

It was such a relief when Shadow began moving. It was ten times better than her dream last night. The dream had been nice, but it had left her aching and alone. She pushed aside the knowledge that he wouldn"t be staying with Taye"s Pack and focused on enjoying herself.

Hard to believe he had been a virgin before her. His fingers knew exactly how to touch her to bring her to screaming orgasm. She shuddered around him just a moment before he roared and squashed her into the bed, forcing all air out of her lungs. After a moment he rolled off her and buried his face in her neck.

It was nice to have Shadow there. And not just for the sex, although that was a huge plus.

Just seeing him made her happy. “Do you really have to leave? Couldn"t you stay here for the winter?”

His lips moved against her throat in tiny kisses. “The Clan needs me. And I"m still working on your house.”

“But how much house building can you do in the winter?” she argued. His tongue

swiped over the sweat between her breasts. “Hey, that tickles!”

“Sorry.”

“Do it some more.”

They played with each other, basking in the afterglow of their lovemaking. In between kisses he told her about the house. The outer shell was complete, and when he"d left, the men were working on finishing the inside. It wasn"t big or grand, but there were three fireplaces, one in the bedroom, one in the kitchen and one in the common room. He would make sure she would be comfortable. The plumbing was crude compared to Taye"s den, but the toilet would flush and water could be heated and pumped into the shower.

A couple months ago, those kinds of facilities would have horrified Glory. Now,

knowing what most people had to make do with, she was pleased. She wanted to say she loved him, but she wasn"t sure she could get the words out. She had a few days to work up to it, so maybe she should just show him for now. She kissed him and felt his cock grow stiff as she played with it. She rolled to her knees and put her hands on the mattress. She glanced over her shoulder at him with a teasing smile.

“Come here, big guy. Time for round two. Don"t you want to go all Alpha on me?” She arched her back and wiggled her ass at him.

He was staring at that place between her legs. “Glory, I don"t want to hurt you.”

“I"m on a bed. Nothing to hurt me here. No hard ground or grass, just a soft mattress, sheets, and blankets. Come on, Alpha. I"ve wanted to do this again ever since last time.” She peeked at him again. He hadn"t moved. She sank down on her haunches. “Don"t you want to?” she said in a small voice.

“Sunshine, last time I hurt you.”

“Moron. You did not hurt me. I liked it. I know that you were really mad, and you weren"t trying to make me happy. But this time will be different. You won"t try to dominate me like that again, right? It"ll be good for both of us.” She growled in exasperation at his unconvinced face. “I
liked
it. I"ll like it again if you"d just get over here and do your part.”

He still hadn"t moved, but his cock was hard and straight, almost quivering with

eagerness. She got up on her knees and bent forward, presenting him with her wet pussy.

“Shadow, if you want me, you better get over here and prove it. I"m getting pretty lonely. If you don"t want me, I"ll—”

He lunged at her, covering her wet pussy with his palm and rubbing until one of his fingers slipped inside. “You"ll what?”

“Find some—”

He replaced his fingers with his cock and slammed deep. “Find someone else?” he

growled.

She let out a satisfied hum. “Some
thing
else, I was going to say. Ah! But nothing else could be as good as this. Harder, Shadow, harder!”

“You are mine, sunshine.”

“
You
are
mine
, Shadow.”

“And don"t you forget it.”

She panted. “Move, damn you.”

He moved, giving her powerful thrusts that almost pushed her off the bed. He clamped one arm around her waist to hold her still for him, and tickled her clit with the other hand, and all the while he was growling “Mine!” under his breath. Just like last time. So she mimicked him. Each time he went deep inside her she yelled, “Mine!” She kept yelling it until she screamed his name when she orgasmed.

“Oh, sunshine,” he groaned into the back of her neck, pulling his hips back for one more thrust. “I"m yours.”

They fell together into the sheets, sated, exhausted, and happy. Glory lay with his weight pushing her into the mattress, marveling at his sexual prowess. Every time he had made love to her had been amazing, but today? Tops. Absolutely.

After a few minutes, he arranged them more comfortably, so he was on his back, and she was sprawled over his chest, and pulled the covers up over them. Glory propped her chin on her hands against his breastbone and blinked at the sunlight sneaking past the curtains. It was still daytime? Right now she was too sated to want more sex, but come nightfall … She could do this every night for the rest of her life.

“Glory, I love you. I will miss you when I"ve gone back to the winter camp.”

Something stabbed her heart. The last few weeks had been so lonely without Shadow.

All the times she had wanted to ask him a question or tell him about something that had happened had just reminded her of how much she missed him. Could she bear to go through that again?

“Shadow, don"t leave me here alone all winter.”

He pulled her face down for a gentle kiss. “I can"t stay. I told my father I"d be back soon.”

Words were building up in her chest, scary words that she couldn"t keep back. “No, I mean, take me with you.”

“What?”

The blank look of surprise on his face made her want to laugh. For some reason, that broke the dam holding the words back. “Shadow, I"ve missed you. A lot. Tons. I…” She had to clear her throat. “I love you.” She blinked. “Geez, that was a lot easier to say than I thought it would be.”

He continued to stare at her blankly for a few seconds. Then he lunged up and switched their positions so she was under his body, his hair flaring and settling around them like a curtain. His face was only inches away from her when he whispered, “Truly? You love me?”

“I damn sure wouldn"t say it if I didn"t mean it.” She could feel herself blushing, the curse of the fair-skinned. She scowled up at him. “So deal with it and move on.”

He kissed her enthusiastically. “I love you, too. I loved you from the first moment I saw you on the plains. My Glory. My sunshine.”

“Your Glory? Yeah, and you"re my wolf.” She pushed his hair away from her face. The long stuff got everywhere, but she didn"t mind. It felt right to have his hair falling all over her body.

“I"m only yours, sunshine.” His killer smile bloomed. “You"re Shadow"s sunshine.”

“Yeah, yeah.” She cut her normal sarcasm short and gave him a kiss. “When do you

want to leave?”

His lips stilled and lifted away from hers. “Are you sure, sunshine? I thought you wanted to spend time with the Grandmother.”

That was the hard part. If she went with Shadow she wouldn"t get as much time with Jill.

And who knew how long Jill had left? She was looking so frail now. “If you"re not staying here, I"m not either. I-I"ll miss Jill. But I would miss you more.”

Shadow kissed her so tenderly she almost cried. Then he told her he loved her so

tenderly she did cry. She still hated to cry, especially in front of other people. But with Shadow it didn"t matter. Maybe because he had tears in his eyes, too, or maybe just because it was Shadow. He was her wolf, and she was his Glory.

“I love you too, you bossy Alpha wolf.” It was even easier so say now, so she did it again. “I love you, Shadow, and I always will.”
