“I’m not even touching you yet.”
She laughed with delight and pushed him until he sat up. “Nothing wrong with your ego, is there?”
She straddled his thighs, her breasts crushed against his chest, the heat of her * now lined up properly with his aching shaft. “Missy wondered if we’d have to—”
“I really don’t want to talk about your sister right now. Oh damn, Maggie.”
She’d maneuvered herself over the crown of his cock and slowly rode him. Each movement of her hips brought him farther into her body, the tight clasp of her sheath wrapping around him like a bit of heaven. He supported her hips and helped her, watching her face carefully. She kissed his chest as she settled, his entire length buried inside. “You feel so good in me.”
He linked his fingers in her hair, tugging her gaze up to his. “Together. Like we were meant to be.”
A mischievous smile crossed her face and she grabbed his shoulders, lifting her hips high until his cock clung to her opening. She dropped down, smooth and fast, hard and amazing. Electric tingles started in his spine and spread fingers out to his balls. There was no way he was going to last. Not after waiting almost two weeks, wanting her desperately the whole time.
She rubbed herself against him on every motion, their bodies slick in the heat of the night. The expression on her face fascinated him and he stared as he assisted her sweet assault on his cock. She bit her bottom lip, her breath coming out in panting gasps.
“More. I want more.” Her thoughts sounded in his mind and he hummed with delight.
Tendrils of knowledge twined from her around his heart—the sensations she felt, the emotions racing through her—all of it passing between them as their mate connection bound them together. He reached out to share his love, his passion for her. How proud he was of her strength. How touched at her willingness to trust him. Their bodies meshed as their minds linked.
She cried out, coming around him, and he let go of his control. Locked together they both reveled in the exquisite explosion. He held her close as after-tremors shook her, the heat of their bodies spreading like a cocoon around them.
“Erik? Is it really happening?”
“Oh yeah, sweetheart. It’s real and it’s right.” He brushed a curl back from her face, leaning closer to kiss her again. The sense of completeness was so amazing. All the missing parts of his soul settled into place as both memories of the past and dreams for the future passed between them.
The mate connection—linking them together intimately. Everything he’d longed for to make him complete, and it had finally happened. He kissed her without stopping, the need to show her his total love 70

and commitment overwhelming him. She smiled against his lips, their tongues dancing together, a sweet and content exploration now that the fire had flared.
“I love you.” He kissed her eyelids and the tip of her nose, and she laughed out loud.
“You talk too much.”
He laughed, stroking her back, enjoying the way she nestled against him, warm and satisfied.
“Erik? I love you too.”
How could feeling so wonderful make his heart ache?
His anger at what she’d experienced continued to simmer. It would be a long time before he’d be able to forget how broken she’d been by the attack. Her power as a wolf slipped up a notch and she twisted in his arms. She stared at him, determination written all over her face.
He sent her acceptance for who she was, what she was, not only to him but the pack as well. “You don’t have to do this yet.”
She raised a brow. “Scared she’s going to outrun you?”
He felt it. As she reached down deep and called up her wolf, joy overflowed her heart. Aching loneliness from being forced down for so many years washed away. Maggie backed from him, her bright eyes watching closely.
“I’m glad you’re here. I’m glad we’re together for this.” As she reached her hands to the sky, a beam of midnight sun broke through the trees to set her skin glowing. She shifted, shimmered, and Erik knelt forward to rejoice as she paced over to him in wolf, her silvery coat gleaming with health. She leaned forward, her tail wagging with delight and he laughed out loud.
“Shall we run, my mate?” Maggie bumped him with her head, wrapping herself around his torso.
He shifted, his wolf eager to meet his counterpart. They stood nose to nose for moment, sharing their hearts in wolf form. Erik took off at a run, letting Maggie follow him until they reached the far side of the hill. He stepped aside and she took the lead, her joy in her wolf trailing behind her like a bright rainbow.
He threw back his head and howled, letting the whole world know. He had his mate, they were together. Life couldn’t get much better than this.
