“Instead, a fire wolf comes along every thousand years to walk the earth in search of Bradan and to bless the pack the moon goddess finds favor with,” Tala adds.
“My grandmother says only once has a fire wolf found him and walked by his side, but we as a pack have had the honor to know him, serve him, and befriend him,” Arcadia says.
“Yup, as loyal as dogs,” Nika teases.
“I get the feeling the sentiment is mutual,” I say with a smile.
“That is our cue. We hope you were able to relax,” Nika says.
“Huh?”
Without another word, they all begin to file out of the bathroom. I’m left sitting in the cooling water, looking around, confused. It is when the water begins to turn warm once again that I understand their departure.
Suddenly, Bradan rises from the water. His big body comes into view as water cascades down his huge frame. I lick my lips as I watch him push his wet hair from his face as he grins back at me.
A huge smile comes to my lips as I watch him move through the water, heading straight for me. I don’t think I will ever not be in awe of this being. He moves with so much fluidity and power.
When he stops before me, I move to place my hands on his waist and look up at him. He places his palm on my cheek and looks back at me lovingly. I can’t help but turn my face and kiss his palm.
“I’ve missed you. I didn’t think you would be here so soon. Is everything all right?” I ask.
“Everything is calm for the night. It has all been handled. For now, there is nothing that can’t wait until after I’ve spent the night worshiping my mate.”
I keep my eyes on his as I run my palms up his chest. He leans into me and dips his head until we’re face to face. I can feel his warmth surrounding me.
“This was so sweet of you,” I purr against his lips before he crushes mine with his.
He lifts me onto his waist as he deepens the kiss. I moan into his mouth as he thrusts into me. Throwing my head back, I savor the feel of him inside me.
We call each other’s names in unison as we continue to give and take. The passion that oozes from him makes my toes curl beneath the water as he claws his fingers down my back. I cup his face as I suck on his lower lip and bounce on him hard as I use my legs and hips to take over.
“Yes, baby girl. Fuck me just like that,” he rumbles into my ear. “I love you, Taylor.”
“God, yes, I love you too, Bradan. You feel so fucking amazing.”
I didn’t know our lovemaking could get any more intense. However, this has me seeing stars and I haven’t reached the height of my orgasm yet.
Congratulations
“Thank you for letting me know about this and inviting me,” Ray says as we sit in the bleachers, waiting for the ceremony to start.
“I can’t claim that this was a thoughtful gesture. I had need of your mate,” I chuckle as I look up at the clouds in the sky.
The ceremony is outdoors, and it looks like it could pour at any time. However, I did read Taylor’s thoughts. She was nervous to ask Ray if she would come. They haven’t gotten to spend much time together and Taylor really wanted all her sisters here. I couldn’t do anything about Billy or Lee, but I had to get Kendrick to bring his mate.
“I don’t believe that. You care about her. It’s not hard to see you want to see her happy. There’s no shame in that,” Ray says as she smiles up at me.
“Doesn’t hurt to have me here to hold off the storm,” Kendrick says and laughs.
“You feel me?” I join in on his laughter.
“Okay, I get it. You two dressed up for this, so you want to prove you’re still badasses,” Ray taunts.
I grin and reach to push back a lock of hair that has slipped from my topknot and begun to curl in my face. The smile on Taylor’s face when she saw me in the black slacks and black dress shirt beneath my cut was worth it. I wasn’t expecting my brother to dress the same, but it made my anger with him dial down just a bit.
I can feel from here how happy and excited my little mate is to have us here and to finally be done with her degree. I’m so proud of her. With all that’s been going on, she could have given up.
It’s not like she needs to work. She could have let her schooling go. However, that’s not my little one. She’s not a quitter.
