CHAPTER 33

Sunlight slanted through an opening in the curtains. Long, thin fingers of yellow luminescence left stripes on the bed and on Grant’s lover’s naked body.

She had talked in her sleep, as she had nearly every night since that dark one at the mine, tossing and turning until he quieted her with a kiss on the nape of her neck. That wonderfully tender place beneath her cascade of silky blond hair was the spot he had grown to love almost as much as the woman it belonged to.

He had done this same thing every night for a month.

Paxton had not mentioned going back to the East in the weeks that had passed, showing no desire to retrieve her things. She didn’t seem to care about anything except being one of the pack, strolling through Desperado and going out to meet her father each evening when he came as far as the edge of town.

And, well, she also liked Grant Wade, and this.

Gliding his palm over her taut belly made her stir. Slipping his fingers between her thighs made her growl in a sleepy way.

Daylight had become Paxton’s friend. She rested easier after the sun came up, and who could blame her? Still, her body, in his bed, was warm and fragrant, and much too delectable for Grant to ignore his craving for her or the hardness of his erection.

Yes, they knew each other. Absolutely. He understood that she’d make him work a little harder at seducing her before she let on that she’d been waiting for him to do so. His she-wolf was sometimes adept at hiding her thoughts, but never thoughts dealing with her feelings for him. Each morning, he made love to her. Each day she told him she loved him.

The feeling was mutual.

The place his fingers found nestled between her legs was soft and lightly furred. When he dared to insert the tip of one finger into the tender folds beneath all that softness, Paxton sighed and arched her back.

“Wolf,” he whispered with his mouth close to her ear.

“Bastard,” she responded teasingly, leaving her lush lips slightly open in invitation.

It was always like this, Grant thought to himself. And always would be. Although they sometimes took an hour to satisfy their craving for each other, taking the time to explore each angle and curve, holding himself back was never easy. Paxton Hall was just too damn sexy. And she was his.

Gently, he rolled over to lay his body against hers. His lover didn’t open her eyes. But she smiled and opened her legs.

“What? Again?” Grant asked.

Fair lashes fluttered before her eyes finally opened and she said in her best bedroom voice, “If you think an alpha can handle it.”

It was his turn to smile. “I’m pretty sure I can, since you insist.”

“Of course, if you’d rather not…” she began, the jest fading as he entered her with a smooth thrust that made her fingers curl.

Her eyes never left him after that, and Grant wouldn’t have had it any other way.
