My body tenses as every part of me screams to pack my bags, leave, and find a man that won't place me second to ghosts. That woman is no longer in his life– not that I know of, so why in the moon would he regard her higher than me?

I inhale deeply to contain my crazy. "I'll give you a minute to clarify what you mean before I walk out."

Kaden, of all things, chuckles. I don't think he realizes he's walking on thin ice. Or maybe he's confident I'm so in love with his dick that I won't leave. I'll admit that I would hesitate and reminisce about the moments of joys when that dick literally and figuratively completed me, but I won't throw away my happiness for it.

"That woman woke up. I stopped being a boy and became a man after she betrayed me by fucking my brother. I won't forget the lessons she taught me."

I relax. So that's what it is. It's no wonder he can't stand Black. His brother's betrayal is especially hurtful because he's family.

"I'm sorry, Kaden. I had no idea you went through that."

I'm glad I didn't storm out in anger before hearing him out. This is a sign of growth.

"It's in the past," he replies. "I won't lose sleep over it. There's too much to do. The few sorrows I have..." he pauses to grab my hips and rearranging me so he can furrow his face against my chest. "The few sorrows I have, I burrow so deep in your pussy I can't remember them."

I hold onto his shoulders for balance. "Come on, this is a serious conversation."

He continues to rub his face against my chest, moving one of my bra's cups out of the way to latch onto a nipple through my shirt.

"Kaden!" I gasp.

He's not listening, but I won't stop him. Not this time. He lifts my shirt and pushes my bra cup down. Then, he leans back until it looks like I'm resting on top of him, and latches onto my breast. He flicks my nipple gently. It has only been a second under his ministrations and I already know I won't have the strength to pull away.

With my eyes hazy, I sag against him as he suckles on my breast. I fill him just right, our angle and gravity weighing my panting breast so it hangs like fruit that Kaden is more than glad to enjoy.

"Love this fucking tit," he says, the words garbled as his mouth is full.

His mouth is so warm; my second home. I quickly find myself moving my chest away and forward, feeding myself to him. My eyes are now closed and my mouth parted as moans escape.

I grind against his thigh, needing friction more than sanity. His thigh must be soaked by now. The sounds of his lips smacking against my breast are driving me insane. Waves of heat rush down my body, doing things at my core that my body can't contain. I drip my ache. Kaden does things to my body that I can't do to myself when I touch myself on lonely nights.

He switches to my other breast, sucking it in and out of his mouth in quick successions. My breasts have always been sensitive, but he already seems to know that. The suction is just right; the speed maddening.

I grind on his thigh harder, using his body in the most desperate ways. Even his thigh serves to please me.

He palms my ass, squeezing tight as I grind on him and arc my back to feed him more of my breast. I can't see his face from this angle, as he's buried in my chest, but I don't need to see him to know he's enjoying this. His tongue says all it needs to my flesh, playing with my nipple and panting sweet nothings against my goosebumps.

I grind harder, and Kaden uses the grip on my ass to drag me up and down his thigh. He dislatches from my chest and grips the back of my neck to make me look down at him. With his puffy, wet, pink lips, he commands, "come on my thigh. Now."

And fuck if I do. With a ragged breath, I explode on the leg I straddle. The orgasm rips through me. I feel it everywhere, from my pussy to my teased, hard nipples.

"Good girl." Kaden whispers, stroking my ass. "Looks like you can listen to commands, after all," he chuckles.

"Only when it benefits me," I pant.

He's a sexy asshole who can make me orgasm like no one can– even myself, but I can't be swelling his pride. I'm convinced that eventually, with enough compliments, his balls will become the size of his head– and they're already big as it is.

We laugh in each other's arms as my body recovers.

"Did you want me to... help you?" I offer, rubbing his ridiculous erection. It would only be fair if I returned the favor to him.

"No. That was for you."

"Thank you for everything, especially for telling me about that woman."

He kisses the top of my head. "She's the past. All that matters now is you. Don't worry about my brother, either. Black knows better than to plot against me."

"Must have been hard for your mother to see you separate."

"It was, but she's a strong luna. She knew what loyalty meant, especially within an alpha family. She let him go. Son or not, he did all of us wrong."

"Yeah, she's a great model. I don't know if I'll ever fill her shoes."

He chuckles. "You don't wear shoes, Kenna. You wear flip-flops, and you fill those perfectly. You'll do great. Maybe you'll be a bit quirky, but you'll serve the pack justly."

I snort, although he's right. "Thanks for the vote of confidence." I sit up and cringe when I feel the mess in my pants. "I'll be right back. Need to use the bathroom."

"To clean your drenched, sticky panties?"

"Yes, Kaden." I deadpan. "But at least I got my release. You stay there hot and bothered." As I walk away, I swing my hips. My seductive walk becomes a dash of escape when I hear him growl behind me.

I lock myself in the bathroom just in time, leaving a grunting Kaden behind. As I undress, I make sure to ruffle the clothes loudly so he can hear them.

"Kenna," he warns. "You think I won't tear this door down?"

"You wouldn't!"

"I'd tear this house down to get inside that ass, babe. I can afford it."

"You've never been in my ass!"

"Doctor, I'd like to set an appointment for anal sex. How does tonight sound?"

My pussy clenches, liking the idea, but I'm too stubborn to play along. "Go away, Kaden!"

He retreats with a chuckle, and I begin to struggle washing the sticky slick between my thighs. After I'm freshened up, I change into one of his t-shirts and return downstairs.

"Nice dress," Kaden compliments, still on the couch.

I tug at the t-shirt. "Thanks. It's my ex-boyfriend's."

He smirks, because he knows I don't think of any other man when I'm with him. The cocky bastard.

"That reminds me, you need an actual dress for two weeks from today."

"What's in two weeks?"

"A gathering of the alphas and lunas."

I frown. "More alphas?"

"Yes," he answers. "Take my card and get something nice."

I palm my hips. "Kaden, I'm a doctor. I have my own money."

"And your man is a millionaire who will take care of you. Now come here and let me come in your mouth."

"Kaden!" I glare.

He laughs. "Forgive me. I'm just horny. Will you come with me to the gathering? If you're not comfortable with the idea, I can ask my mother to be my plus one."

This is where I would be introduced to the world of the powerful and wealthy as Kaden's mate. It's an important step forward, no matter how unnerving.

I nod. "I'll go with you."
