Chapter 7

She slept for longer than she’d wanted to that afternoon, but Booker didn’t seem to mind when she woke up and found him outside, splitting wood at the back of his immediate property.

Her eyes traced his body, and she liked what she saw. For a human male, he was built like a shifter, and without his shirt on, the sight of him raising the ax over his head, using his strength to break the wood into pieces, did something to her body, and her wolf was panting with need to just go over there and lick his hot skin.

She gritted her teeth to keep her canines from growing to show how much he affected her. As it was, she wanted to touch him. She wanted to keep him all to herself and move out into the bush with him, staying forever.

There was a connection between them she couldn’t quite put her finger on. It wasn’t just the mating call of her wolf, either. No, this felt deeper…more human. Booker had quickly weaved his way into her heart and mind. She was fairly sure she was falling in love with him, and she needed to touch him to be sure.

“How was your nap?” he heaved as he placed another round piece of wood on top of the tree stump he used to do his work.

“Very restful,” she admitted. “Need help stacking?”

“Sure,” he panted. “I’m almost done.” Almost done meant there was still another hour or two worth of work to be done, but they worked together while getting the chore completed.

Aspen caught him several times watching her as she worked, and she’d be lying if she said she hadn’t watched him either. The heavy eyes and heated glances were driving her insane, and her mating scent was thick in the air. So much so, she was almost drunk on it by the time they entered his cabin.

“Your scent is driving me mad, Aspen,” he growled as he stalked her across the living room. She walked backward, bumping into the wall. His hands came up beside her head, and he leaned over to scent her neck, but he didn’t touch her.

“I want to touch you,” she admitted as he boxed her in between his arms. Aspen’s wolf prowled and pushed at her skin, causing her eyes to change color and her canines to thicken in her mouth. “If I do, I will submit to you, Booker, and you need to understand how that is done.”

“Submit?” he asked, using his eyes to trace her lips. His heated gaze left a burn across her skin like he’d already touched her and marked her like a male of her kind.

“We mate as our animals do,” she began, releasing a soft breath as she lowered her eyes. “A shifter male will take their mate from behind, biting her to mark her skin. The female will then, in turn, push the male to his back and mount him on top. She bites him next. It’s a mark to show other shifters that they are a mated pair.
