CHAPTER 6

He chuckled out loud and sighed behind her. She was younger than him, so maybe she didn’t understand.

“Being a bartender and bar owner comes with a lot of clichés, unfortunately. I never felt the need to exploit my position and take care of the young or older women who drank in my establishment.”

“Ah, so you’re not a man-slut?” He laughed at her attempt to make a joke.

“No, I’m not. Besides, I never wanted anyone else.”

“You mean other than your wife?” Her words were small, but he heard them.

“I need to tell you about my marriage, Claire.”

“Um, I don’t think I want to hear about that Mike,” she sounded on the verge of tears, but he needed to tell her now before things got strained between them.

“No, not since my marriage. I haven’t wanted anyone else since I caught sight of you all those years ago.”

“I tried telling you before, but maybe you need to hear all of it. I’ve felt guilty for so long. I was married when you asked me out on a date and frustrated that I couldn’t say yes. My heart had stopped that day, but I cut into you. It was my only defense mechanism.”

“Why? Why couldn’t you tell me?”

“I don’t know, I wanted to protect us both. I knew if I talked to you I wouldn’t be able to stop myself from touching you, like this,” his hands ran over her from her hips to her neck. She leaned back, and he felt himself grow hard again.

“I kept my dark, little secret, that I wanted you desperately. Guilt was killing me.”

“Cause of her?”

“My wife was unfaithful to me, our vows were made in haste, a mistake we both regretted, but we were too old fashioned for divorce. I didn’t want to be unfaithful to my lawful wife even if only in my mind, I was horrible to you because of it. I am sorry.”

She turned around and kissed him softly on the lips. Her heart was in her eyes, but he needed to finish. He held her hands and pressed his forehead against hers.

“My first marriage was a mistake, we weren’t mate bonded and it ate at us, at me, until I was barely living anymore. I want to live Claire, I don’t want to be that shadow of a Wolf again. I want to be with you.”

She threw her arms around his neck and squeezed. Her enthusiasm knocked both of them to the floor. She straddled him and sat up, her glorious hair surrounding her like a blonde halo.

“What are you saying exactly?”

“I’m saying, I want you Claire Freemont, to be my mate and my wife in the eyes of the Pack and humankind. Will you do me that honor?”

“Yes! Oh, yes!”

He was relentless in his pursuit of her then and there in his bedroom. She was almost as greedy. She ignited flames in him that he’d never experienced before. Her soft hands smoothed up and down his back and curved around to his ass where she’d squeezed him, hard.
