QUINN

I squirm on the bed, staring back at Willem as he looks at me expectantly. He’s waiting for me to ask him outright to touch me, but it takes me a second to gather the courage.

I’m not worried about rejection anymore—instead, I’m worried that his touch won’t be enough. Part of me feels hollow and needy.

I’m having a lot of filthy fantasies lately that feel insanely out of character for me. But not for me, my wolf points out smugly. She seems to be bringing the best out of me as she not-so-patiently waits for me to say the words and bring Willem to bed.

This mate is so nice; he’ll be so gentle, my wolf prods. And did you see the size of his bulge?

“What are you blushing so hard for?” Willem asks, genuine curiosity in his voice as he gazes down at me. I press my lips together tightly and drag in a shallow breath through my nose. He quirks an eyebrow at me, and the heat building inside of me only grows hotter.

“No reason,” I blurt out hastily.

Willem reaches out and wraps one hand loosely around my ankle, holding me. “You can tell me anything.” The sincerity in his voice makes my heart lurch.

His hand on my ankle is enough contact to make my body buzz with the awareness it had at the dinner table. I’m not sure if he just senses the reaction or if something on my face gives it away. He slides his hand a few inches higher on my leg, though, and I feel like I could melt my way through the mattress and land on the floor beneath the bed.

Willem swallows hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing noticeably with the effort.

“I want to touch you,” I say suddenly; the words come out rushed and garbled together.

His lips part and hang open, no words passing through them for a long moment. “I think you just gave me a heart attack.” He releases my leg to rub at his chest, and I ache for his touch instantly.

I push myself up higher on the bed, my wolf spurring me on even as the human side of me second-guesses myself.

“Willem.” His name is a breathy sigh on my lips as I reach for him. “You said all I have to do is ask. Well, I’m asking. Please touch me, and please let me touch you.”

“I’m never going to deny you anything,” he vows, swaying toward me.

I take advantage and grab a fistful of his shirt, pulling him onto the bed. He comes to me easily, crawling over me on the center of the bed. Something seems off, though. Something is just… not quite right. I push at his shoulder until he rolls over.

“That’s better,” I say as I throw my leg over his waist and straddle him, needing to settle against him and feel any kind of pressure against my aching core.

Willem grabs my waist and stops me before I sink all the way down on top of him.
