“Oh, thank you. I’ll send you the name of the website, are you on social media?”
“Uh huh, under Ygrette TypO,” she said.
“Nice, I’ll send ya a request. Off ya go, now,” she waved her off and turned to find Conall staring at her as if she’d gone off her head.
“You coming inside?” Elia asked.
“But you? How did you?”
“Oh, she just needed a little sympathy and someone to give her some direction.”
“But how-”
“Conall, your mate wants some dessert.”
“Dessert? We didn’t have dinner yet?”
“Conall,” she crooked her finger at him and loved the moment realization dawned in his sparkling sapphire eyes.
“Oh, you mean, dessert,” he wagged his eyebrows up and down and she giggled.
He stalked forward and hoisted her up in his arms. Elia was more than ready. She wrapped her legs around his waist and allowed him to carry her inside. The man was a hulk, carrying her around as if she weighed nothing at all. And that was more than alright with her. He placed her down on the counter and pushed between her legs.
“Is this what you mean by dessert, love?” he asked and claimed her mouth with an almost punishing kiss that drove her wild with desire.
Flames of passion licked along her skin and moisture pooled between her legs. The bond between them pulsed with need and awareness flared to life. It had only been a few days, but still, she was amazed at the ferocious need that filled her whenever he was near. She wanted him all the time, and even more astonishing, he wanted her.
She knew it down to her toes. Reveled in it as he pulled her shirt over her head and tore her jeans in his attempt to get her naked.
“Hurry,” she growled, loving the way he was out of control, almost mad with desire.
“You drive me crazy, baby,” he growled and buried his face between her breasts, “I love every inch of you, my gorgeous sweet mate.”
He couldn’t get enough of her ample assets, she thought and gasped as he suckled them both and tweaked her nipples between his fingers. Lucky for him, she enjoyed his attentions there as well.
Hungrily, he stroked her back and teased the crack of her arse with his fingers, but what she wanted now was his magnificent cock buried deep inside her needy pussy. Dear heaven, she was so glad she had saved herself for this, for him.
After their first night of lovemaking, she’d really opened up to him. Told him all about her hoped and dreams, and even broached the subject of Archie. He held her through her hurt even as she explained that she did not love him as anything more than a friend.
“Baby, I would be a liar if I told you I wasn’t jealous of every man that had even a drop of your affection, but I am not a complete dick. My heart breaks for you and what you went through. I am sorry so many died at the hands of your hateful cousin, but I am glad he’s dead. And even though I know you are a kickass she-Wolf, I promise I will always be here from now on to keep you safe, to protect you, and to love you with all my heart. Mine.”
Feck. The man was perfect. She sighed as he fit himself between her admittedly plump thighs, loving the way his enormous muscled body seemed to mold to her curves perfectly. He was designed for this, for loving her, as she was for loving him.
“Mate. Need,” she moaned loudly.
“I have what you need,” he replied and he proceeded to give it to her, selflessly and completely.
He bit his lip, groaning as he sank into her heat, filling her as only he could. Conall sought her pleasure like a man on a mission, first and always. That was the way with mates, or so the other females had explained. As a Werewolf, she was expected to know these things, but how could she when Seamus had kept them all in the dark enthralled as he was to Theon and that bastard’s hateful ideology.
“More,” she demanded as his cock filled her to the hilt.
Her channel stretched and pulled, molding itself to his length and girth. She’d never had sex with anyone else, so imagine her shock when she’s first felt him stretching her to the max. Yes, it had burned a little, but the pain had quickly been replaced with something else. Something wonderful.
That same slow, tugging sensation that was even now pulling at her core and filling her body. He swiveled his hips, pressing his pubis into her pleasure spot, stroking her in just the right place.
“Like that?” he grunted.
“Yes, more,” she pleaded and clamped her mouth around his neck.
She tasted his skin, loving the sun-kissed lavender flavor that was all Conall as they continued to make love on their kitchen counter.
“Need more,” he growled and lifted her up using the wall next to them to brace his hand against as he fucked her harder and faster, using all his strength and skill until she was screaming his name in ecstasy.
“Elia!” he roared as her orgasm ripped through her, following her into the white hot inferno of bliss that damn near made her go blind.
Her Wolf howled in joy as rapture filled her all the way to her soul. She loved him so much it almost hurt not to be with him. Tingling, throbbing sensations racked her body as she rode the tiny little aftershocks of her orgasm until the end.
“S’perfect,” he breathed and kissed her lips.
Elia had to agree with the man. Conall Truman was perfect for her, and more than anything, Elia loved being Conall’s mate.
Epilogue
“Well, what do you think?”
“I think you outdid yourself, boyo,” Elia clapped her hands together and Conall exhaled.
It had taken him a while to find just the right materials to make her studio completely fireproof and safe for her to continue her metalwork.
Already she had enough orders for custom pieces to keep her busy for the next year. She used a mixture of personal items like coins, jewels, or heirlooms with various metals, as well as, pieces made from local shells, sea glass, and stones, collected from the beach to create her own designs.
She’d started with simple chains and bracelets but had moved on to include more complex pieces like picture frames, sculptures, and in one case a tea tray.
“You approve?”
“Aye,” she said and mashed her mouth to his in an enthusiastic kiss that had his heart near to bursting.
Damn. He was whipped. He admitted it freely and loudly. Shame was not something he’d ever felt, and that went for his old opinions of mates too. SO, he was wrong. Boo fucking hoo.
As long as Elia loved him and was happy. He was happy. Now, to get her to say yes to his proposal. He frowned as she walked around the new and improved studio they had both worked on designing over the past few months.
It was important to have proper ventilation and other safeguards, especially since, if his nose was right, they were going to have a new, very small and fragile, roommate soon.
“What’s this?” her voice cut into his thoughts and he realized she’d beaten him to the punch.
Elia held the bright yellow diamond he’d purchased because it reminded him of her eyes, along with some sheets of titanium, platinum, and gold for her to decide on. He swallowed audibly and dropped to his knees. His new favorite position, truth be told, especially in the shower.
“I had a whole speech prepared, baby, I swear, but all I can remember is the part where I ask you to marry me,” he licked his lips.
For a moment, he thought she was going to throw the thing in his face. Fear and nerves threatened to shatter his heart, but then the most amazing thing happened. She smiled as tear drops rolled down her cheeks.
“Baby?”
“Aye,” she said and launched herself at him.
Thank fuck he had good reflexes.
“You know don’t you?” she asked and bit her lip.
“That I love you more than anything in this world?”
“Yes, that, but also that I’m pregnant,” she said and laughed as he kissed her nose and ran his lips over the hairline scar she’d all but forgotten abou
t.
Conall had a way of making her past seem so far away, not that she would ever forget her family or where she came from, but she knew now that she was safe and loved. Her pups would be raised by a mum and da who loved them in a place that was as much magic as it was real. Macconwood, New Jersey was home now, and Elia had never been happier.
“I am so happy, baby, but I was gonna ask you anyway? So yes then, you’ll marry me?” he couldn’t stop smiling.
“Of course, I’ll marry you,” she smiled, “how else am I gonna make sure you stay good and whipped then? Besides, you did ask me first. You know what that means?”
“What?”
“I won the bet.”
“I don’t think so,” he frowned recalling the silly wager he made with her when they first met.
“I think so, boyo.”
“Oh, easy now, I’m not that kind of man,” he growled as her hands reached down and slid over his already hard cock.
“You’re exactly that kind of man,” she laughed and tugged on his zipper, “now if it’s me you want, you’ll have to ask me proper.”
“Will you marry me, mate? Be mine in name, body, heart and soul, for all of time?”
He would never be too proud to beg when it came to her. And she knew it. Little minx that she was, Elia waited a beat before nodding her head and reaching up to kiss him. He cherished every second of that afternoon as they christened her new studio by making love to one another on every available surface.
“Mate?”
“Mmm?” he asked.
“I love you.”
“I love you too.”
“Are you happy?”
“Elia Spark soon-to-be Truman, I am the happiest man in the universe now that I’ve got you in my life.”
“You damn well better be,” her growl turned to laughter and he followed suit.
And they lived happily ever after. Who wouldn’t with him for a mate?
The end…

I've always been an avid reader, and I have a profound love for books and literature. When I'm not writing or taking care of my family I can usually be found with a book or tablet in my hand. I live in my home state of New Jersey with my husband, our children, and our dogs, Dash and Chewie.
I'm a busy mom of three and finding time for leisurely reading is never easy, so I write stories that are fast-paced, yet detailed with satisfying conclusions.

I love writing powerful women and strong heroes who face relatable problems in supernatural settings! Read my books and watch my sassy, curvy heroines and sexy heroes find true love in one another.
