the tender flesh of her neck. He tended the wound immediately. There would b no more pain for his mate. Jordan kept kissing her long after she slept. “ Mine. ” He murmured against her skin. Lettie sighed and moved closer to him. She nuzzled his chest and Jordan smiled. This was how it should be, complete, and utter contentment. Jordan thought as he drifted off to sleep. “That’s it!” Lettie sat straight up as she shouted. “I have it Jordan.” She suddenly bounced excitedly an hour after she’d fallen asleep. “I know what to do. I know how to save the pack and how we can have pups!” Jordan chuckled and smiled up at her. “Tell me.” Lettie was up on her knees now with her hands braced on his chest. Jordan tugged her forward hoping to ease her into a straddle over his hardening erection but she wouldn’t budge. Who could stay soft with those gorgeous breasts in their face? They were full and pale, their plump tips like tiny ripe raspberries. Jordan could barely refrain from leaning up to take one into his mouth. “Mister Thompson is always talking about retiring and going to Florida. He wants to sell the store but he wants to sell it to someone that he trusts.” “What part of broke did you not understand?” One eyebrow rose at her. “Yeah that’s the beauty of it. The store sits on nearly one hundred acres of land that Mister Thompson didn’t want developed because he didn’t want the traffic passing his house. It’s been in his family forever. If we can get all of it, we can sell some of that to the developers. It won’t matter about the traffic because he will be in Florida.” “Still broke.” He leaned toward a rosy nipple. “No we aren’t Jordan. Get your head out of the box.” She pushed him back down. “We are sitting on two thousand acres and thirty-nine houses that we own outright. We can borrow against all of that to buy from Thompson, then turn around and sell to developers. Meanwhile we can run the grocers. All of the wolves who have been loafing around here since Frank sold the business can go back to work at the store. You know we need help, everyone has been working overtime to fill in.” “And you can manage it…” A slow lopsided smile spread over his face deepening the dimple at the corner of his mouth. “Because I have been for years, the only thing I haven’t done is collect the profits.” Her smile was playful and self-satisfied. Jordan nodded with only pride on his face. His mate was amazing. He knew it and he’d always known it, because she was his miracle. “You are brilliant darlin’, did you know that?” Lettie threw her leg over him straddling him. “And so damned sexy.” She reached between them and put his stiffness inside her channel sinking down onto him with a sigh. Jordan groaned when she moved on him. She moved gently, easily. “Shit Lettie. More. Move.” She eased up and back again. “Oh hell no! I can’t take this; you’re going to kill me.” Lettie giggled. She was always good at goading him into being rough like she wanted him to be. Jordan rolled her underneath him and pounded into her. He buried his face in her neck, and mouthed his bite. Lettie loved it every time he stroked the nerves inside of her, every time his lips nipped at her neck. She raised her legs higher resting her feet on his hipbones. Each thrust forward opened her up more for him. “God I love you.” He grunted when he came but he didn’t stop moving until she exploded around him. Her body bowed and shook. She arched her back for him taking all of him as he collapsed into her. When their labored breaths eased, Jordan rolled to his side and held her close to his chest. His arms wrapped tightly around her as they both drifted off to sleep satiated. *** Lettie sat on the bed with her back propped against the iron headboard. His
