Chapter 12

With her legs wrapped around him, he pushed inside. Waylon’s eyes rolled back in his head. Morning, noon, and night he could be inside of Shilo. Their long separation had made the need stronger, like nature’s way of keeping them from parting again.

If only it were possible.

She rocked her hips up. After stripping down in a frenzy, they’d bypassed kissing and fallen together on the mat. Over the last few weeks, he’d done everything to her but claim her.

The urge was getting harder to resist. He rocked out and thrust in. She arched her back, shoving her breasts in his face and baring her neck.

The urge was getting harder for her, too.

“Why the fuck can’t we work things out?” he panted. This wasn’t the time for a relationship talk, but being back at the cabin had exposed his emotions.

His childhood was a mystery and he was alone in the world. Alone except for his mate underneath him. Why couldn’t he be with his mate the way they were meant to be?

She hitched her knees up and gripped his ass, her fingernails digging into his skin. He fucking loved it.

“Because we’re both too stubborn,” she gasped. “I’m close. I can’t believe how fast you can get me off.”

He could say the same.

Instead he slowed and dropped himself to his elbows. Lowering his head by her ear, he said, “Why can’t we work on it? We’ve got time, right?”

She stopped rocking her hips and met his gaze. “Are you…are you serious?”

Stroking her hair, he brushed a kiss across her pink lips. “I’ve missed you. And these last few weeks have been…”

“A relief?”

He smiled. “Because you finally get cooked meals?”

She grinned, biting her lower lip. “That’s nice, too.” Her expression turned serious. “We still have the same problems. I can’t run out and mate you until we resolve them.”

“I’ll keep my fangs to myself?”

He wanted to coax a smile from her, but she feathered her hand along his hair. “I want to know you won’t leave me when we hit the next rough patch.”

Her words had a physical punch. He sucked in air. Had he been in the wrong to walk away? “I won’t leave you. But the succession thing… I’m not going to be strung along.”

“I’ll work on the home front if you stay by my side and talk me down from the insanity ledge.”

He dropped his head to kiss her before asking, “We’re a thing again?”

Cupping his face, she gazed solemnly into his eyes. “We’re a thing again.” She rocked her hips into him. “I think that calls for make-up sex.”

“We have five years to make up for, princess.” The next kiss was longer, and he poured his feelings into it. Maybe it was finding a hidden part of Uncle Wolf that had opened him up to hoping for a future with Shilo again. Knowing that the old man had hidden his past while Waylon had none, no one wondering who Uncle Wolf was, how he’d ended up—Waylon didn’t want that to be him.
