Chapter 37
Callum ran a finger along the surface of the water, engrossed in the woman who reclined in the tub, her eyes closed, her lips parted in a blissful sigh, and a sated smile on her face. Despite his promise to take Amber into the bedroom after breakfast, he’d decided to introduce her to his shower instead. He’d taken her against the wall, thrusting into her hard and fast, driven by her soft cries and whimpers. If she’d had any complaints, she didn’t voice them, clawing at his back as she came, urging him to achieve his release.
Afterward, he’d drawn a bath, wanting her to relax and unwind.
Now he simply studied her. Enjoying the shared moment,
Her lids cracked open, revealing a flash of her blue-green irises. When she saw him staring, she grinned. “What are you thinking about?”
“You,” he answered truthfully and brought his fingers to her knee.
She laughed, the sound alluring and husky. “Is this where you give me a cheesy line about how I must be tired because I’ve been running through your head all day!”
“Afraid not,” he murmured, stroking her skin.
“Good.” She flicked her hand, sending beads of water over his chest. I don’t like cheesy lines
He considered returning her playful splash with one of his own.
Clever little female. “Just one more thing we have in common.
“Why bother with dairy products when you can have the whole cow” Her hand drifted over his, her wet skin soft and slippery from the hot water. Tm a**uming those are what you hunt if deer are scarce!”
The slight catch in her voice took him from relaxed to concerned. “I wanted to talk to you about that. Now was the perfect time to clear the air. “Normally when wolves announce a muting the packs hunt in celebration. In this circumstance, I think it’s best if we do things differently
Large blue-green orbs focused on him. “Define differently”
“After we address the packs, we’re leaving.”
“Why?” He could see the confusion and fear in her gaze. “Are you worried something will go wrong?”
“No. I’m not worried about that.” Taking his hand from her knee, he slid closer to the tub. Extending his hand, he cupped her chin. “I want to enjoy the first moon with you and no one else. The night is a beautiful time, and I want to show it to you. The pack can keep up pretenses after we leave. Besides, if we’re not alone we can’t play. And I can’t tell you how much I want to play with you, baby.”
Her brows softened, relief evident in her expressive face. “What kind of game?”
“You’ll have to wait and see.” His remark was greeted with a scowl. He laughed, stroking his thumb along her jaw. “You’ll like it. I give you my word”
It didn’t take much to close the distance.
His mouth brushed hers, sliding from side to side. She released a soft sigh, her lips parting in welcome. He slid his tongue into the crevice, tasting her sweetness. His body responded despite their earlier interlude. It was clear he couldn’t get enough of this woman. He felt the jerk of his quickly swelling c ock, and the erratic beating of his heart. He wanted to groan when she pulled away.
“You’d better get dressed. Otherwise, I’ll be tempted to take this to the bedroom. Her voice was just as deep and raspy as his. He felt her tremble at his touch. “As much as I’d like to keep you naked all day, I don’t think George would approve of you visiting his home in your birthday suit.”

“Do you care what he thinks?” A st upid taunt but he couldn’t help himself. Seeing Amber relaxed and comfortable in her skin was something he wanted more of.
“Do you think I’d have asked you to cover that amazing body of yours if I didn’t?” she countered with a smile.
“Maybe you just don’t want other women to see me naked.”
This time when she met his gaze, she was deadly serious. “Only as much as you want other men to see me in the buff.”
Da mn. When he thought it was safe to push, she pushed right back.
He hadn’t counted on how furious the notion made him. Werewolves didn’t blink at nudity. It was second nature to be comfortable in either skin. But the thought of other males staring at his mate and seeing what she kept hidden beneath her clot hes pissed him off.
Good thing we’re enjoying the first moon alone.
“Point taken,” he grumbled, releasing her chin and rising to his feet. “Ill have to make sure you keep extra clothes handy. I’d hate to kill someone for doing something as innocent as enjoying a breathtaking view.”
Placing her hands on the sides of the tub, she reclined against the back and relaxed. Just remember it goes both ways. Turnabour is fair play”
With a shake of his head, he turned from the enticing vision resting in the water and went to put on some clothes. She didn’t have to worry about him remembering things went both ways. How could he possibly forget? The message she’d been sending was loud and crystal clear. If he displayed the goods, she’d do the same.
He recog nized a threat when he heard one.
I’m so fucked.
When the pack learned Amber had him by the balls, he’d never live it down. The first time he ducked behind a tree or bush to shift forms would be the end of it. Word would spread and his image would take a nosedive. Callum, pack Alpha, successful tattoo artist, and businessman, was whipped into shape by a small armful of females who made the rules and enforced them with an iron fist
Tonight was going to be hell
