Miguel had wanted to give her everything: a home, children, meaningful work they could do together—and yes, the wolf. He’d wanted to share the power and beauty and soul of the beast with her.

Now, she seemed to want only this—a kiss.

Then he’d give her one.

Her lips settled on his from above, light as a snowflake falling, but the impact went through him like an avalanche. His pulse raced as he tried to stay ahead of the seething need to dive into her, to lose himself in the elemental, life-or-death awe. He’d always needed her as much as air or water or food.

Slowly, he slid his hands up around her nape, searching for the tight knots of muscle to either side of her spine where she’d always carried her tension. She might be taller than him, even have a few pounds on him, but he knew the secrets of her body.

Or he had at one time…

Ah, there it was, still, coiled tight as rattlesnakes against the winter cold. She moaned low in her throat when he dug the pads of his fingers into the knots, and finally she bent her head, giving him access. The gesture—much to his delight—left her mouth slanting more deeply over his.

Her scent washed over him. The smoky aroma of cinnamon, the sweeter musk of vanilla bean, the sharp bite of cayenne—she was like his very own mug of spiced chocolate, a tribute to kings, a gift from the gods.

Her tongue flicked out to touch his, and every nerve in his body lit up like rare summer lightning. He dragged in a hoarse groan, drowning in the scent and taste of her, nearly forgotten in their years of estrangement. Desperation and yearning gripped him almost as tightly as the lust.

He had to make her believe. After all the years of trying to show her, from a distance, how sorry he was, now he could only hope she'd feel it in his touch, hear it in his sighs, see it in the shivers that danced across his skin when she splayed both hands across his pecs. He knew she must understand the ardent pounding of his heart underneath her palm, must know how much he longed for this, for her. The wolf didn't have words, and he wasn't much wordier himself, but surely she must know that though the years alone had piled up like snow on Mesa Diablo, what was underneath was unchanged, bedrock strong, forever.

When the kiss finally broke, their ragged gasps traded back and forth, his breath into hers, hers into his. The knots in her shoulders had smoothed
