cornbread too.”
Reyna turned toward the stove and tugged another button open on the ridiculous denim shirt she had on and tied around her waist. She looked like a cowgirl-hooker-barbie in her opinion, but if this is what he wanted, she had nothing to lose at this point, except her pride. Hopefully he wouldn’t want her to dress like this all the time, but keeping the mate Fate had shown her was more important than clothes or how she acted around the house.
After hearing him meet with that matchmaker earlier this morning, she’d jumped into this circus with both feet.
After grocery shopping, flea-market hopping for the outfit, and scrubbing his not-so-dirty house, she’d gotten everything ready for him to walk through his front door into the fantasy he’d asked Laurel to find him. There wasn’t a damn thing on his list—except the human bit—that she couldn’t fulfill. She might not be little Suzy Homemaker with blonde poofy hair, but she could cook and clean and stay home and raise the kids if that’s what he really needed.
Not participating in pack politics or acting as an enforcer any longer might sting a bit, but she’d just have to get used to it. She’d never wanted a man as much as she hungered for Allan VonBrandt. She’d lost too much in her short life. She would find a way to complete the mate bond with Allan. Losing him was as much an option as losing her sanity. His scent literally made her drool and her female bits quiver.
No man had ever affected her that way. Ever.
He came up behind her, pinning her between his hard body and the edge of the counter. “Why are you doing this?” The gravelly coarseness of his voice tickled her ears and made her knees weak.
“You want a wife. A homemaker. You don’t need a human for that. Plus you don’t have to have the awkward conversation with me to explain why our kids shift into a wolves on the full moon when they hit puberty.”
“Hmmm.” He groaned as she rubbed her ass against his erection.
“I can cook, clean, do PTA, book club. Whatever it is that normal people do. I can be the person you want better than any human female.”
She arched her chest, and took his hand, sliding her breast into his palm.
Twisting in his grasp, she peered up into his lust-glazed-eyes. His warm brown irises glowed bright with his wolf’s hunger. At least she had his beast on her side. Perhaps that would be enough to sway the man as well.
“The food is all on warm. It will wait.” She rubbed the pad of her thumb across his lips. Grabbing his shoulders, she pulled until he bent close enough to kiss him.
She pressed gently, caressing his lips with the tip of her tongue until they parted. Thrusting her tongue deep between his lips, she moaned as the taste of him filled her mouth.
A second later his arms had encircled her body and he kissed her back. His mouth slanted over hers, crushing their lips together until no air remained inside her lungs.
He growled into her mouth and lifted her completely from the floor. The rooms and hallway passed in a blur. They entered his bedroom and she gasped for breath as his mouth moved from hers to her neck and then further south, removing clothing as he encountered it. The shirt ripped into two pieces shortly before he tossed it across the room.
She nodded. “Yes.” Gods, yes. Please.
The clasp of her bra popped between his deft fingers and she sighed when the girls burst free, teasing the tongue she wanted desperately to feel on her hard nipples.
“Come and get me cowboy,” she murmured, letting her head drop backward as he caressed her breasts and closed his lips around one nipple and then the other.
He made short work of the ruffled denim skirt and lacy panties, sending them sailing across the semi-dark room to join the pieces of her shirt. She’d pulled all the curtains earlier while she’d been cleaning, just on the off chance the afternoon progressed to this point.
She yanked his uniform shirt loose from the
