CHAPTER FIVE

. . .

To say they were both a little grumpy and out of sorts the next day was an understatement.

They had spent the day trying to ignore each other. They’d eaten, watched some television. Useless activities.

Rafe couldn’t take his eyes off Nora, sitting on the couch, her long wavy hair cascading down her back as she read a book. His muscles tensed with every breath she took, frustration etched on his face, he clenched his jaw and fists, trying to suppress the overwhelming desire to claim her right then and there.

“Damn it,” Rafe muttered under his breath, feeling the pull stronger than ever. He needed to taste her, to mark her as his, and yet something held him back. He could feel the mating heat coursing through his veins, a fire that threatened to consume him if left unchecked. And he knew it had nothing to do with the damn spell.

But, until he eliminated the spell, she would never believe him.

“Are you alright?” Nora asked, noticing his furrowed brow as she looked up at him. Her dark eyes sparkled with concern, only fueling his hunger for her.

“Fine,” he replied curtly, his voice husky and strained. He tried to maintain his composure, but his body betrayed him; the way his eyes darkened with lust, pupils dilating, would tell her everything she needed to know.

He was slowly being consumed by lust.

Although, lust was not the correct word.

This was love.

The everlasting kind. He knew it from the depths of his soul.

“I’m going outside.” He opened the door and the protection spell sparked. He didn’t care, he needed the fresh air, hoping it would settle his wolf.

“No,” Nora immediately protested getting her feet. “It’s too dangerous.”

“Honey, danger is my middles name. And we need to know what this is.”

“We know what it is. It’s the spell.”

“Listen, Nora, I’ll be honest with you, I’m not sure how long I’m going to be able to control my wolf.” He placed his hands on her arms. “And if that haze gets any closer, all bets are off.”

“What do you mean?”

“My wolf wants you, baby, he wants you bad.”

Nora bit her lip, a habit she had when she was troubled. It was one that was driving Rafe slowly out of his mind. He wanted to take that plump bottom lip between his teeth, sucking it into his mouth and tasting her ripe flesh. Of course, that was just one tiny thing he wanted to do to his mate.

“You think it’s starting to have an effect on you?”

“No, not really. What I’m feeling is normal. You might not want to admit it yet, but you are my mate, Nora. I knew it the moment I saw you behind the bar. If things were normal, I would have already marked you and mated you.”

She moved a little closer, unable to stay away from him. “You’re kind of sure of yourself, aren’t you?”

“Hell, yes.” His lips curved into a smirk. It was sexy as hell.

“But—”

He lowered his head crushing her mouth with his.
