With a sultry smile on her lips, she met his glowing emerald gaze. “Yes, Alpha?”
“Hurry back to me. I have…plans.”
Sera’s eyes began to glow, and she gave him a toothy grin. “You find me, Alpha mine.”
She then shut the door behind her, smiling at Caressa, who only rolled her eyes.
“Tease.”
She giggled as they began to walk.
Caressa grabbed her hand, intertwining their fingers. “I heard about the house. I’m sorry.”
“Who told you?”
“Preston.”
“Well, thanks. I’m sad about it, but I’m trying not to let it get the best of me.”
Caressa laughed and gave her a half-hug. “There you go again, being a strong, emotionless alpha.”
Sera wrapped her cousin in a hug and kissed her forehead lovingly. “Not emotionless. Just…guarded. Relax, cuz. I’ll be fine.”
When they walked up to the guest cabin, they found Richard eagerly waiting for them.
“I love you, Sera,” Caressa said as she entered the house.
“I love you too,” Sera said with a smile. She then looked at Richard, who was looking up at the stars. “They look so different in Hawaii, don’t they? It’s like somebody peeled the old sky away and replaced with a fresh new sticker,” she said.
He nodded, then looked over at her. “Sera, I need to apologize to you.”
Her brow furrowed. “For…?”
“For being such a jerk about your engagement. Now that I’ve seen this place, I understand. This gorgeous place, this paradise, is your home now, and I have to accept the fact that I won’t see you anymore, or at least not a lot. Not that it matters, and not that you need it, but I want to give you my blessing and support.”
Sera smiled and wrapped her arms around his waist. “Thank you! You have no idea how much that means to me.”
He kissed the top of her head before pulling away. “Well, thanks for coming to talk to me. After all the excitement today, I’m beat. I just needed to get that off my chest. ‘Night, Sera.”
“’Night, Rich.”
When he walked into the house, she walked around the back, then slinked off into the woods. She followed the scent that had been driving her senses crazy. She smiled at Koda, who was leaning up against a tree with his arms crossed. “Eavesdropping?” she asked coyly.
“Perhaps,” he said, pushing off the tree to wrap his arms around her, “or perhaps I just enjoy staring at my mate’s glorious backside.”
Sera rolled her eyes at him. “If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times. You’re just…insatiable.”
He gave her a deep, throaty growl before crushing her lips with his. She giggled against his passionate kiss but refused to open her mouth.
“Mate…” He growled, nipping at her lips.
“Hmm?” she hummed.
“Kiss me back.”
She playfully shook her head, knowing how much it bothered him. He began his assault on her lips again. This time, he gripped her backside tightly, causing her to gasp. He took his chance, invading her mouth with his tongue. She sighed and relaxed her body.
Once again, Koda was shocked at how right it all felt. Her soft, curvy body fit perfectly against his large, hard one; they went together like two pieces of a jigsaw
