“Are you ready?” he asked thickly, full of emotion as the moment his life would change forever drew ever closer. His arms around his mate, fingers caressing her silky skin as he gazed into her upturned face.
“I am,” Tasha whispered. “I’m lucky to have found you, Rafe. You’re more than I could’ve wished for in a mate. More than I dreamed I would ever get and what you’ve done for me, for my Pack, well, thanks doesn’t cover it but it’s all I’ve got.”
“No thanks are ever required between mates, Tasha.” Rafe leaned in, teasing the side of her mouth with a kiss. “I’d do anything for you. Anything. I’d kill for you. I’d die for you. I’ll cherish you. From now and forever.”
Her eyes filled with tears at his words, but he swiped an errant one away. “No tears. You’ve made me the happiest Wolf alive, baby. Now we need to seal our bond. Bite hard, bite deep, and make me yours.”
Settling his body over hers, she opened her thighs to allow him entry to her warm sheath. Rafe teased her entrance with the tip of his hardness, her eyes widening in annoyance as she bucked her hips upwards. Chuckling, he obliged, sliding inside quickly, her channel widening to accept him, tightening around his cock. Damn, she felt so good beneath him. He was sure he’d never be able to leave the bedroom again, content to stay right here with her in his arms.
“Kiss me,” she purred, longing and desire thickening her voice.
Lowering his head his mouth covered hers in a scorching hot melding of their love. His hips rocking against her as he plunged in and out, her heart rate shooting up as she rose toward another orgasm. The time was near, for both of them, bodies slick with sweat, skin slapping on skin, movements now frenzied with lust.
Tearing his lips from her mouth, he wound his fingers in her hair, tilting her head to the side and tugging it toward his neck. At the same time his mouth sought that sweet spot of hers, his teeth grazing her skin where he’d marked her before. Tasha releasing her canines and scratching his skin almost caused him to spiral over the precipice into ecstasy, barely holding on as he released his own fangs.
Burying his cock deeper with each thrust, he opened his mouth and bit down, hard, jerking as Tasha mirrored him. Blood pooled in his mouth, sliding down his throat . . . a sense of utter euphoria engulfing his entire being until finally he saw her Wolf in his head gamboling with his: their mating bond was sealed.
Releasing his bite, he drove into her faster and faster, head falling back as a roar like no other tore from his throat. The roar of an Alpha claiming his mate. A roar that announced to the entire Pack that their mating was complete. A roar that proclaimed that Tasha was his and he was the happiest man, and Wolf, alive.
Sunbeams shone through the window, settling on the far corner of the room, telling Rafe it was early afternoon. They’d slept for hours. Stretching carefully so as not to wake Tasha a poke in his ribs alerted him to his mistake. She hadn’t been alseep at all.
“Hey, beautiful.” He grinned down at her, no sign of sleep in her face. “How long have you been awake?”
“A while,” she answered. “I’ve just been watching you sleep. You look so peaceful and like a boy when you’re sleeping.”
“A boy?” Rafe frowned. Nobody could mistake him for a boy.
“Well, you just look relaxed and, it’s hard to describe, kinda young and innocent.”
Rafe couldn’t believe it. Young and innocent. Those were definitely not words anyone he knew would use to describe him. “I think you’re mistaken. The only one young and innocent here is you.”
Her face flushed before she waggled her eyebrows. “After last night I don’t think I can ever be called innocent again.”
Rafe chuckled, moving quickly to cover her body with his. “I love you, Tasha Montgomery. More than you’ll ever know.”
Her fingers reached up, running down the side of his face, sending every blood cell straight to his cock. “I love you too, Rafe Blackstone.”
“Glad we got that out of the way.” He dipped his head, caressing her shoulder with feather light kisses.
“Are you hungry? Can I fix us something?” She breathed heavily at his touch.
He looked deep into her eyes, his hunger shining brightly, his heart full of love and contentment as he proclaimed. “Yes, I’m hungry, but no longer for food. My hunger is now for you, my mate.”
Read on for a hot Highland adventure.

Also, a special mention to Haley Rathbone for designing the tattoo that Kade gets over his heart. Thank you so much.
The light brown Wolf slid to a halt, slamming into the wooden stairs of the cabin, blood covering its body and dripping on the ground. Its hunger still raging inside even after its recent kills.
Shaking its head, body quivering as the sound of snapping bones cut through the breaking dawn. A moment later, the tall muscular man looked down at his blood-soaked body, shaking his head.
“Damn,” Kade cursed, rushing inside to shower and change before his scheduled meeting.
This was the second night he’d slipped away on his
