that
boner can be put to very, very good use. In fact I really like the idea of you
sliding into me when you are all jacked up.”
    Shaking
his head, he pulled her closer so he could kiss her hard. “You are so lucky I
adore you, Ophelia. Let’s get you home. I don’t want you or anyone away from
pack lands any more than necessary right now.”
    “Sounds
good. We should stop at the store on our way home. How do steaks sound for
dinner? That or salmon for my bear?” Tonight she wanted to cook for him, wanted
to pamper him.
    “Despite
the propaganda I’m not a huge fan of fish. I’m a steak man, very meat and
potatoes, truth be told. We need to get some other things, too, so that’s a
good plan. We should go now. Here soon I have to meet with my lieutenants to
update them and see what the other alphas have decided for their part in
helping us watch over the rogue pack,” he said, waving her toward the door.
    She
walked out of the door and turned to watch him as he locked up. Once more they
walked arm in arm toward his waiting vehicle so that they could get on with
their day.
     
     

Chapter Thirteen
     
    Ophelia
heard Jagger finish his call while she put the last items from their shopping
trip away. He’d called the lieutenants of his pack to check on the silver
progress and to update them on what the other alphas had said during the
meeting. When his arms slid around her from behind and his lips pressed to her
neck she leaned back into his body. “Did you want me to start the grill up for
those steaks or are you good?” he asked, nuzzling at her skin.
    “I’m
good for right now. I don’t want them to go on too soon because then we will be
waiting for the sides and the steaks will cook through.” She tilted her head to
the side and smiled. “And yes, I’m still making you have veggies with me.”
Well, if you called twice baked potatoes and corn veggies, but she would take
whatever she could get. “Or we could go and get naked under the Christmas tree.
That would be even more fun.” She loved this time of year, the lights on the
trees casting a delightful glow over everything, the snow falling lightly and
him. Oh definitely him.
    “Probably
not a good idea to get naked yet. We both tend to get hugely distracted when we
do that. Besides, gotta save the naked time for when I shift into my bear so
you can cuddle with me, remember? But since we have a couple minutes to kill.”
He lifted her and set her on the counter, stepping between her legs. “We can
get up to some hanky panky here while we wait on the timer.”
    “Oh
yes. I love how you think. You do have the best of ideas.” She was laughing
just a bit and let her hands move over his chest. “And yes, I do want to have
some cuddle time with your bear. I think it will be a lot of fun to pet him.
You won’t be upset with that, will you?”
    “Why
would I be?” he asked. “We’re the same being. Our thought patterns are a little
different but I’m still me when I’m in that form, and he’s still here when I’m
in this form. Any chance to have our mate petting either one of us is a huge
score in our books.”
    “Good
because I can’t wait.” She was petting him now, however, her hands moving down
his shoulders, then under his shirt when they reached his waist. “You can cook
the steaks on the grill without your shirt, right?” she wanted to know.
    “It’s
less dangerous than attempting to cook bacon without a shirt on.” He reached
over his head to pull the t-shirt off and, balling it up, he tossed it toward a
chair at the dining table. “Now that you have me half-naked what are you
planning to do with me?”
    “Well.”
She let her fingers move over his chest and leaned in. Her mouth closed over
his nipple and she scraped it lightly with her teeth. God she loved hearing
that growl that he let go when she bit his nipple just right.
    Shoving
a hand into her hair, Jagger yanked her head up and back, his mouth coming down
to meet hers.
