Page 11 of Deep Love

I pushed my nose into her cheek, stealing a few sneaky licks before rubbing my body against hers as I circled around her.

“Are you marking me?” She chuckled then wrapped her arms around my neck, giving me a squeeze.

My human form came rushing back without me asking for it, and I pulled Delphi into my lap. “Would it be a bad thing if I was marking you?”

She shook her head and my gaze zoomed in on her mouth. I could resist no longer.

My lips caught hers in a kiss, and I slid my hand to her cheek, loving the feel of her smooth skin as we deepened the kiss. Our tongues tangled, primal need building between us with each velvety stroke. When a soft moan escaped from Delphi, my desire for her exploded. I was done holding back, my shock at seeing her again replaced by a flood of the love I’d once felt for her.

The love I’d always felt for her.

“Let’s go back inside,” I managed to say around our kissing. “What I want to do to you shouldn’t be done in the dark woods.”

Delphi shivered in my hold, and that ripple of her body against my dick made me nearly blow my load right then and there. She tossed me my clothes then sent me the sexiest grin in creation.

“Tell me whatever you want to do to me doesn’t involve you putting those clothes back on.”

I eyed the stretch of parking lot between the woods and the apartment building. “It doesn’t, but maybe for the return trip to the apartment?”

She narrowed her eyes at me. “Okay. I’ll allow it, but we aren’t staying dressed for long.”

Yippee!

“Were you a wolf when we were together before?” she asked.

“Yes.” I slipped back into my clothes then grabbed her hand, tugging her back toward the apartment building. “I was born a werewolf.”

“Werewolf.” She said the word slowly as if trying it out for the first time. “I probably should be mad you didn’t tell me this about yourself when we were together before, but I guess I get why you didn’t.”

“I couldn’t tell you before,” Mason said. “There are rules about revealing ourselves. I’m not sure I didn’t break that rule by telling you now, but I guess I don’t care about rules as much as I care about being straight with you.”

I let us into the apartment then immediately turned around to face Delphi.

“I don’t care about rules either,” she said. “I only care that you and I are here right now together.” The smile she gave me radiated the same warmth and love that had always been between us. A warmth and love I’d been missing in my life since Delphi had been gone.

“I didn’t think I’d ever get to see you again.” I hooked my arm around her waist and drew her in close, my other hand coming up to slide along the curve of her neck. I brushed my lips against hers in what ended up being the tenderest of kisses. “People kept trying to set me up with someone else, but I couldn’t do it, Delphi. I couldn’t be with someone who wasn’t you.”

She captured my mouth in a kiss that was far from tender and full of wanting, of unquenchable desire, of let’s make up for the time we’d lost instead. Kissing Delphi had always been a favorite activity of mine and that hadn’t changed at all.

“It would have been okay if you’d moved on, Mason,” she said. “That’s what humans who are left behind do. Move on.”

My lips tipped up. “Good thing I’m not a human then, isn’t it?”
