He’d planted his knees on either side of her thighs, pinning her down, and began kissing her and unbuttoning her blouse, one button, two kisses. The minx reached between his legs and began caressing his cock. He gave up on the kisses and began tugging at her buttons until he could pull off her blouse. Hell, she was going to have him coming in his boxer briefs before he could even pull off her pants.
She chuckled, and he smiled.
He got off her and pulled off her boots and socks, then moved to unbuckle her belt, unbutton and then unzip her jeans. After yanking off her jeans, he slid his hands over her thighs, his thumbs stroking up the center of her. She shivered in anticipation, and her red lace panties were already moist. Her pheromones and her musky scent announced she was so ready for him.
He licked her panties, pressing between her feminine folds, and she arched her back. “Ohmigod, Aidan. Do that again, and I will come.”
He smiled at her. “That’s what I’m working toward.” He licked a trail up her flat belly, tickling her navel before moving to her breasts. He studied the design of her red lace bra and realized it had a front clasp. He quickly unfastened it and pulled it away from her breasts.
He rubbed his fresh stubble gently against her naked nipples, and they instantly peaked into pale-pink nubs. He sucked on one, caressing the other with his hand, rubbing his cock against her legs. The friction and her lusty scent, her exquisite moans, and the way her body was reacting to his touch sent a wicked, hot fire roaring through his blood.
Her hands slipped to his waistband, and she tried to tug his boxer briefs down. Her warm fingers on his flesh scorched him, and he quickly dispensed with his briefs, his cock springing free to touch her wet panties. He pulled the panties off and began stroking her in earnest, kissing her around the neck and throat, spreading her legs. She was exquisite, the perfect mate for him, and he couldn’t have been more relieved that she’d agreed to mate him.
She ran her hands through his hair, and he loved the way her fingernails gingerly scraped his scalp. He was stroking her, and she was digging her heels into the bed right before she cried out. He kissed her mouth and said, “I need to be inside you.”
He wanted her permission because this was forever. No going back. No changing their minds.
“I want you inside me now.” She tugged at his hips, her eyes burning with desire.
“Good.” He thanked God she hadn’t changed her mind. He drove in, taking her with him. Rocking inside her, pulling his cock slowly out, and thrusting in again. Stroking inside her, he felt the ripples of her climax, at the same time enjoying the smell of her sex. He was ready to burst, but he wouldn’t let go, not until she began clutching his hips and arching her back. He sensed when she was ready to come before she even came.
He’d never experienced anything as erotic or fulfilling as he did when having sex with her.
He came, realizing at once they hadn’t used protection, but then again, that was part of who they were too. Bringing new little lupus garous into the world. He would be happy to be a daddy to her babies.
“Holy…wolf. Aidan…you…you rock my world.”
He smiled and kissed her slowly and deeply. “You are the only one for me. I love you with all my heart.”
She wrapped her arms around his body as he pressed kisses to her cheeks and mouth. “I love you too.” She sighed. “I guess they’re expecting us for lunch.”
He chuckled. “Yeah. What I wouldn’t do for a nice long wolf nap with my mate.”
“Me too. We might as well get dressed and give them the news.”
“Something tells me they might already know.”

After they’d quickly showered and dressed, they left the bedroom. She was wearing the new sweater Aidan had bought her. She adored it and adored him. He was one fantastic lover.
They joined the guys for lunch, and Aidan happily announced, “We’re mated.”
“Hallelujah. I didn’t think we could go into the matchmaking business without at least one success story,” Mike said.
“As if we had anything to do with it,” Ted said, and they both saluted Holly and Aidan with creamy eggnog. “But I’m damn glad they tied the knot. Wedding in the plans?”
Holly looked at Aidan, wondering if he’d considered a wedding or not. Their kind didn’t need one. They sometimes had a wedding to celebrate the mating with others and to have a marriage certificate for financial reasons.
“I’m all for it if Holly wants to have one.”
“I guess a small one. I know my mom and sister would love to be involved.”
“And Jade and Rafe for certain,” Aidan said. “I guess I need to tell Rafe too.”
“Maybe we could have a wedding after the New Year, to have something to celebrate every year after New Year’s so it’s not too much stuff at the same time. My birthday, Christmas, New Year’s, then our anniversary.”
“Maybe the end of January to give everyone time to prepare for it.”
“But if it’s small…”
“I suspect by the time Rafe gets involved, it’ll be a big event. All wolves, just so you know.”
She smiled. “I can handle it.”
“You will look like a fairy princess walking down the aisle,” Aidan said.
“And my Prince Charming wolf will be there waiting for me.”
They sat down to eat finished their grilled chicken sandwiches, though Aidan noticed Mike and Ted must have stopped preparing them until they heard them getting ready to leave the bedroom, because the sandwiches were hot off the grill. Then they enjoyed slices of birthday cake. Aidan was glad it was nice and sweet, because he had a real sweet tooth and so did Holly.
“Love the sweater on you,” Mike said, finishing off his piece of cake. “Any chance we can see the bathing suit modeled?”
She smiled and squeezed Aidan’s hand. “Next time I swim in it and you’re around guarding, sure.”
Aidan smiled at his men, raising his brow, letting them know they were stepping into his territory.
Ted laughed. “You get guard duty on the perimeter that day, Mike. I’ll watch the house, specifically to protect the she-wolf in the pool. Though I’m sure her mate will be there protecting her too.”
“We’ll have to toss a coin for that assignment,” Mike said.
Holly smiled at them, and Aidan imagined they would do it too.
Following lunch, they had time before the celebration, and they opted for a wolf run in the woods for a couple of hours. They asked if Lori and Paul wanted to go with them because it was their property. They were happy to and were at the lodge within a few minutes dressed in their wolf coats.
Aidan’s men had shifted too, but Holly and Aidan had gotten distracted when they went to the bedroom to shift and dress. That was the problem when they got naked now. They didn’t have anything holding them back…well, except they had people waiting to run with them.
* * *
“You know how much I want to tell them to go running without us?” Aidan said, holding her hips, pressing her tight against his groin.
She welcomed his burgeoning arousal and slid her hands down his tight ass. “Yeah, I can tell, and if it wouldn’t be rude, and if your bodyguards wouldn’t hang around anyway, I’d have my wicked way with you.” She sighed, kissed him long and deep, then pulled away, hating to do so. “We’ll have to make sure we return before the celebration begins.”
Reluctantly, they both shifted, and she raced out of the room ahead of Aidan. Thankfully, everyone had gone outside to give them some privacy.
Grizzlies roamed in the area, other wolves too. It was good to run in a pack. A wild wolf pack or a grizzly bear would be no match for them. Also, it was nice to have the leaders show them where to go since they didn’t know the area. Paul and Lori led the way, running through the snow ahead of them while Aidan a
nd Holly ran in the middle and Ted and Mike followed as the bodyguard detail.
After about an hour of exploring the area, Holly tackled Aidan out of fun. He wasn’t expecting it at all, which was why she did it. She felt so full of life here with Aidan, her mate; the crisp, cold mountain air; the new scents; and a new place. Mostly, she just loved having fun with a male who would be her forever mate. He was already her hero.
He fell into a snowbank and she tackled him, biting and nipping, and he stayed on his back, playing with her, nipping back, showing how much he loved her and could have just as much wolf fun back.
This was what she loved. Not just the sex between them, but the wolf moments too. They were just as important. And she loved the way he was, one minute letting her be in charge and then the next jumping up and tackling her. God, how she wanted to return to the lodge and make love to him. He finally let her up, and they shook off the excess snow clinging to their fur.
That’s when they noticed Mike and Ted looking the other way for trouble and to give them some privacy, waiting for them to run again, and Paul and Lori watching them, smiling, knowing what it was like to be newly mated wolves.
Holly woofed with glee, and they all ran off again. They finally reached a rocky area where they saw white-haired mountain goats clinging to rocks. She was glad they hadn’t needed to climb anything like that as wolves. Which made her think of the crevasse, glad there weren’t any around here. It might be fun learning to rock climb with Aidan as humans.
After about an hour and a half of seeing the sights, and even catching a glimpse of a grizzly and her cubs, they began the long run back to the lodge. This had been so much fun, and she loved that they’d been able to see the area before they returned to Seattle tomorrow. She was glad her parents were staying near them and not returning to stay with the pack in Seattle. She couldn’t be any happier. She didn’t think Ronald could ruin anything for her now.
Yet she knew it wouldn’t be a happy return to her home when she went there to pack up her stuff, sell her house, and remove her personal items from the clinic. The pack had purchased the clinic for her to work out of, so it was still theirs. Which was fine with her. Maybe they’d find a doctor again. At least they still had a nurse.
When they reached the lodge, Holly wasn’t sure she could make love to Aidan. Not until after she had a nap. After Paul and Lori woofed at them and headed for their cabin and Ted and Mike sat outside, she changed her mind.
She wanted Aidan in the worst way. Now. Naps were overrated.
* * *
Aidan loped with Holly to the bedroom, glad everyone was giving them some privacy, in the guise of guarding the place. He was hoping she wanted to make love to him before the party, which put the pressure on them too, because he was certain everyone would be chomping at the bit to come over and set up for it. Maybe Lori and Paul would let everyone know they had to wait for the newly mated wolves to get on with a little more business before they celebrated Nick’s coming to stay with the pack.
Holly entered the room first and Aidan followed, shutting the door with his shoulder. She shifted and was mouthwateringly naked before she climbed into bed. He shifted and hurried over to the bed and joined her. One nice thing about running as wolves—once they shifted, they were ready for lovemaking, with no time wasted removing clothes.
He slipped on top of her and began kissing her mouth, his fingers combing through her silky hair. “You are so beautiful and all mine.”
“You are too.” She reached up and threaded her fingers through his hair. “Just beautiful.” And then she pulled him down for more kissing, her hand sweeping down his side and over his ass, then squeezing. “Hard…all…over.”
“And you’re generously soft where it counts.” He molded his hands around her breasts and gently squeezed. “Delectably soft.” And then he took her nipple in his mouth and teased it with his tongue. “And tasty. Love the way you taste, like peaches and cream.”
She smiled at him. “You’re all hunky spice, my favorite.”
He began kissing her again, loving the feel of her soft lips against his, pressuring, searing, welcoming. Her lips parted, and he plunged his tongue right in, loving the way she poked and prodded his, the way she curled hers around his. Her hands were busy too, stroking his waist and his ass, pulling him harder against her as she spread her legs.
Her pheromones teased his, her sweet, sexy scent begging for satisfaction, arousing his overwhelming need to have her, to complete this.
He began stroking her clit, inserting a finger into her moistness, pulling it out and teasing her clit again with his wet fingers. She was arching and moaning, her fingers clinging to his waist, her head sinking into the pillow as she concentrated on what he was doing to her and how he was making her feel.
He loved seeing her response and knowing he was doing it to her. His cock was ready for the plunge. But he kept up the pressure, bringing her to the end before he took his turn. She cried out his name, and he was glad his men were outside. Though with their sensitive hearing, they might have heard her anyway, not that they wouldn’t have known what they were doing.
“I have to learn to be quieter,” she whispered.
“No way in hell,” Aidan said, and she laughed.
Then Holly was kissing him again, loving him for being who he was. She suspected she was going to be the end of his workaholic ways. She realized they hadn’t used a condom the first time, and he didn’t seem to want to use one this time either. Which was fine with her. They didn’t have the health issues that humans could have, and it was time for her to have babies.
He kissed her other breast, licking and sucking on the nipple, his hand caressing her belly. She wrapped her leg around the back of his and caressed his leg with the sole of her foot. His darkened eyes were hot with desire, and she tugged at his hip for him to join her. He kissed her mouth again and centered himself between her legs, penetrating her with his cock and plunging it deep.
He resettled her legs over his shoulders, and she smiled. He was going for maximum penetration, and she loved it. He was all hers.
He rocked into her and she tightened her hold on him, her inner muscles clenching him. His muscles were taut, his face tight with concentration, but then he gave her a wicked smile. It reminded her of the wicked smiles he’d shared with her before they were even mated wolves. She gave him one back.
He turned a little, angling into her deeper, and she came with the unexpected twist and thrust, gasping out, “Holy shit.”
Growling, he released inside her, bathing her in his hot seed, and continued to pump until he finished with a satisfied wolfish groan. “You are so good for me,” he said, rolling onto his back and pulling her into his arms.
“You won’t mind the breaks from work to get in some exercise?”
“Taking breaks won’t be an issue. Ever. In fact, if we have a breakthrough, I can’t think of a better way to celebrate.”
She laughed. “As much as I’d love to cuddle with you, I guess we should dress and let everyone know they can set up for the party any time.”
They kissed and hugged, then took a quick shower and dressed. Aidan’s cell phone rang, and he grabbed it off the bedside table and smiled. “Your dad.”
She finished dressing while he put the call on speaker.
“Yeah, it’s Aidan. Is everything all right?”
“We picked out the house plans, but you let us know if it’s too extravagant. We’ll use the proceeds from our home—”
“And mine,” Holly interjected, then pulled on her boots. “I won’t need the money to purchase a new place.”
“You can use the funds for whatever you need, including new furnishings and to start up your new business. We’ll provide the house, whatever the plan.”
“You can change your mind anytime,” Eddie said. “I’m emailing you the blueprint.”
Aidan opened the email and smiled. “Looks like the kind of style Rafe would approve of. I’ll send this over to him, with your permission, and I’ll send you a copy of the survey done on the property. You can pick out a spot to build. Rafe will get with one of his builders to start planning construction.”
“Thanks, Aidan, and Holly,” Eddie said. He paused, then said, “Okay, got the survey. We’ll check over the land to figure out where we want to situate the house. Everyone wants a view of the lake like you have, but we want to be far enough away that we aren’t intruding.”
“You won’t be intruding. I was surprised to see you agreed on a place so fast.”
“When we decide something, we’re on it. Just like Holly with you, it seems.”
Aidan smiled at Holly and handed the phone to her so he could get dressed. She looked over the plans. “Wow, that’s beautiful. If Ronald knew about the upgrade in residences we’ve had, he’d be jealous.”
“We ought to send him a picture when it’s done,” Greg said in the background.
“No,” Holly said. “No sense in aggravating the pack leader.” She didn’t trust that Greg was just joking. “Is everything going all right?”
“I think Marianne and Greg turned into part-time fish,” their mother said. “Forget being wolves. They’re only out of the water to eat a little supper, then in again.”
“I’m glad they’re having fun. I have to let everyone know they can use the lodge to set up for the welcome celebration for Nick, but Holly can visit with you further.” Aidan leaned down and kissed her, then headed out of the room and closed the door.
“Is he gone?” her dad asked.
