I have to crack my neck from side to side, feeling the burn as each limb snaps with my movement. Taking a deep breath, I hold it for a moment before releasing. Once I feel calmer, I reach out for my woman's chin and turn her head my way. My wolf doesn't like her eyes on the guys', he and I agree, we love her full attention on us.

When she fully looks at me, she has a slight smile on her lips. I love that smile of hers, I used to watch her from afar every day. Watching her whole face light up with that smile. "I'm sorry, I can't seem to control myself with you around." I am completely honest with her. I haven't ever kept a thing from her.

"It's okay." She shrugs her shoulders as she speaks the words. Biting that bottom lip of hers. She must hear the growl deep in my chest as she does that. Her eyes grow incredibly larger and become completely dilated. All I can see is the black of her irises, her beautiful green color has taken a back burner now. I find that pleases me a little too much.

I affect her just as much as she does me. I can't hold back the sly smile that cracks my lips. I bend close to her face once more. Before I can speak, I get a whiff of her scent, causing my eyes to roll in the back of my head. When I open them once more her eyes are on my lips. "Soon little wolf." When her eyes make their way back up to mine, I tell her what will be happening after tonight.

"I will let you have tonight. It's all I can handle. After, you will be in my bed from now on, every night laying beside me." I bite my own lip with the thoughts that are playing in my head. "Of course, that is unless you want to be beneath me. Completely naked, as I thrust my hips into your delectable body."

Her mouth falls open, I can hear a low moan fall from her mouth. "That is how we will begin, but gradually you will be on top of me. So I can watch those beautiful breasts of yours bouncing every time you lift up and fall back onto my cock." I lick my lips, as my eyes briefly fall to her chest. The one now moving faster and faster as her breathing picks up.

When my eyes make their way back up to her, I can't help myself. I need a little taste. I pull her closer, kissing the corner of her lips, it's all I'll allow for now. "When you're ready, I'll take you from behind," Her eyes close at my words. "Little wolf." When they open, I kiss her mouth, sucking her bottom lip into my mouth.

I nip her there, drawing a little of her sweet blood on my tongue. "That is when the real fun will begin." I kiss her bottom lip, closing the cut there, as I push her body away from mine. We stand like this for a moment, my arms holding her body at a safe distance, and her squirming her body this way and that. I know she's trying to get some friction where she needs it most.

Looking down, I can see just how much I affect her. "Take that hot bath baby girl. Soak your body for a while, thinking of all the things I will do to you." I turn around, bringing her with me. Opening the door to the ensuite I lightly push her back, so she steps into the room.

I flick the switch, as the lights illuminate the room, I watch her every move. I see she's enamored by what she sees. There's a big standing shower, with two shower heads, a tub big enough to fit four people, and jets are on every side. With double sinks and a long mirror taking up half the wall on the opposite side of the room.

She turns around to face me, with a look of awe on her face. "I could live in this bathroom." Her words cause me to laugh. "I'm sure you could, if I would allow you to." She raises an eyebrow at my words. Tilting her hip to the side, she looks me up and down. "If you allow it huh? Let's get something straight here and now Zane," She walks right up to me. Only stopping when she a hair breath away from me.

"I will do what I please and when I wish. You are not my keeper." Her voice comes out strong, but looking at the pressure point on her neck, I can see how fast her heart is beating right now.

A small part of me wants to strip her now, lay her naked body over my knee, and punish her properly for her saying those words to me. However, there's a bigger part that feels proud that she's sticking up for herself. Not to mention, her little show has made me uncomfortably hard.

I have to lean against the door frame, with my arms crossed over my chest to keep my temper at bay. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll do everything I really want to do here and now. Whether she is ready for me or not. I don't want our first time to be like that. I want her to want me as much as I want her.

Looking down, I let out a laugh. One that holds no humor in the least. I take a moment to get myself together. She is the only wolf in the world that can push my buttons and causes me to lose control. "Little Red," at her intake of breath, my head shoots up. I haven't called her that since the last time we played together as children.

Ignoring that, because we don't have time to talk about the past, I continue on, "not your keeper little wolf." She looks up at me from beneath her bangs. I step up close to her body, grabbing her hair, I lean her head back. "I'm your mate. Always have been and will be forever. You are mine." I enunciate every word so she can hear me clearly.

She looks sad for a moment, before she shakes her head at me. "Father won't allow that to happen." Her words break as she speaks. I want to tell her my plans, but it's best she doesn't know everything that is about to happen.

"Don't you worry about that. Just take your bath, and we will talk again in the morning." I kiss her lightly on the lips, releasing her I nod my head towards the tub. I take one last, long look at her before I leave the room. Slamming her bedroom door behind me.

Leaning my head against it, I listen as she starts the water. Knowing this door isn't going to keep me away from her tonight, and that I'm far from having enough control, I walk down the hallway to the kitchen. When I make it around the corner, the guys are all looking at me with expectant smiles.

"Want to go for a run?" I don't say a word. Simply make my way to the door, open it and close my eyes. Enjoying the feel of the turn. Once I'm on all four legs, I take off into the night. Knowing that Matty is staying behind, the poor kid is exhausted from today. He will keep a look out on my woman as I work out some aggression well into the night.
