discovered. “Your existence is a secret to all humans then?”
“Over the decades, there have been instances where we’ve revealed ourselves only to humans we trust. Our specie is undocumented, but we aren’t entirely a secret to your government. We’re not publicly known and we do not wish to be.”
She uncurled her legs and joined him near the window. He stiffened when she touched his face, then his posture relaxed again when she moved closer. “Does it hurt?”
“Does what hurt?”
“When you shift…doesn’t everything…change?”
“The first dozen or so times, it does, but then your body gets used to it.”
“You have to embrace the change,” she said, remembering what he’d told her in the van.
He smiled. “Yes. It’s integral to the growing process.”
Keira picked up his hand and placed it on her waist. She wanted him to touch her again. Whenever he was near, she felt complete. “Why do you call me your mate?”
Aiden closed his eyes, and visibly swallowed. “Because I can smell you, Keira. You awaken the urges of my wolf like no other has done before. The moment I walked in that room I knew you belonged to me.”
“Is heightened sense of smell one of your powers?”
“Not so mu ch a power, but an ability. In some of us, these abilities are more potent than in others. I can trace my lineage all the way back to the first Caedmon wolf, and in my family we’ve always been effective at guarding what is dear to us. For hundreds of years, we were bodyguards to whomever held the position of Alpha at the time.”
“Is that why you chose this profession?”
“It chose me. This is what I do the best. My ability to detect danger and fear more efficiently than others through sense of smell is the same ability that told me you were my mate.”
“Could you be making a mistake about me?”
“It’s not often that we know instantly, but I make no mistake when it comes to this. There are other ways to confirm.”
“Like?”
Aiden arched an eyebrow at her. “Somehow I knew you would want to know.”
“So, tell me .”
“There are things a mate can do, that no one else will ever be able to duplicate.” He lifted her hand and placed it under his shirt against his torso. “Healing is one of them.”
She could feel the indentations made by the bullets.
“If you wanted to, you could have healed me instantly. One touch and the will to save me was all it would have taken.”
“What you imply is impossible.” She shook her head. “I don’t have powers like you.”
“ You have to believe and truly want it for it to work. In every successfully pairing, mates have the ability to heal each other. Just like back at the hotel…I can soothe whatever is ailing you better than any medicine can.”
Heat flashed through her as the memories of his finge rs working quickly over her pussy overtook her.
He pressed into her and slid his lips along her jawline. “I can’t keep my hands off you, Keira.”
“You really do want me as you mate?” she asked.
“ You are my mate. And yes, I want you in a million ways.”
“I don’t know how to please you,” she said.
Their lips met, and she tasted him. He smelled of pine, oak, and hickory trees after a rain storm.
“You please me already, just the mere sight of you. Once I saw you that day sitting in the window smelling of ripe peaches, my dick became hard as a rock. I could have claimed you right there. Then you walked about half-clad in your flimsy dress showing me around the property. All I could think about was the many ways I wanted to take your pussy and ass. Mine. ” He growled against her shoulder and kneaded her backside with both hands. “I want to devour you and fuck you repeatedly. There are no terms to explain how much I desire you.”
Her chest heaved against his and she blushed as his naughty words resounded around them. She’d never heard anything like it. No man had ever talked to her this way.
And she loved it.
