her confession. Would they think less of her for the amount of lovers she’d had throughout the years?
“I hope you don’t—” She licked her lips, nervous. “I know it doesn’t look good to you, but I’m not a loose woman. Really, I’m not.”
Chapter Twelve
Jonas smiled down at Milla as she stood before them, her heart on her sleeve and told them that she wasn’t one to sleep around. He couldn’t help himself. One second he was smiling down at her, the next, he had her cheeks cupped in his hands as his mouth slid over hers. He hoped she didn’t slap him again, but if she did, it would be well worth it.
Much to his surprise, she kissed him back, her arms sliding around his neck as he dropped his hands and pulled her deeper into his embrace.
She felt like heaven pressed tight against him, her lower stomach pressing against his hard cock. The warmth of her body seeped into his. Dropping his hands, he cupped the soft cheeks of her ass in his hands and squeezed. Gods, he loved a woman with an ass.
The scent of her arousal rose up and he drew her in. His cock pressed tight against his jeans and he was sure the damned thing had a mind of its own and tried to break free of the material’s restraint.
His stomach clenched as he lowered his head to her neck. Her scent wrapped around him, drawing out his beast and bringing on the heat of the el calor. He would go mad if he couldn’t have her soon. He knew this, yet he didn’t press her. He couldn’t do that to her. Not tonight. He would give her this night and possibly the next. He wanted her to feel safe in his home. He needed it on some unknown visceral level and damn it all to hell, he wanted Mel here, too.
Apparently, the gods, in their infinite wisdom, saw to pair him with that imbecile. Who was he to fight their choice in mates? Besides, if he fought the presence of one mate, he might lose the other. He didn’t want that.
Jonas had waited a lifetime to get his mate. Now that he’d found her, he had no intention of letting her go. She was perfect for him, just what he’d hoped for in a mate. He would be an idiot to do anything but thank the gods that he would finally have a family of his own.
Whatever his and Mel’s differences were, they paled in comparison to the perfection that was his Milla.
Ending the kiss, he pulled back wary. “Are you going to slap me again?” he asked holding her as she swayed in his arms.
“Uh…no.” Milla licked her lips and opened her eyes. “I…uh.” She cleared her throat. “Do you expect me to stay here with you?” Her voice came out almost a squeak. “I’m not so sure that’s a good idea. So far you’ve had a difficult time keeping your hands to yourself.” She glanced at Mel. “ His house might be a better idea and you stay here.”
“ His house is a room at the boarding house. He doesn’t have an extra room for you to sleep in.”
“You’re going to give me my own room?” She smiled. “For some reason, I half expected you to drag me to your room by my hair and have your way with me like some caveman.”
“Darlin’, if I’d decided to have my way with you, you’d already be in my bed and, I promise you, I wouldn’t have to drag you there.”
Milla’s cheeks darkened with a blush at his announcement. She didn’t argue though, and that surprised him.
“Let me show you to your room.” Turning, he led the way up the stairs and showed her to the room he’d used as a child. “We’ll put your things in here.” He turned to Mel. “Help her bring in her things, if you don’t mind. I’ll go see if I can find something to fix for dinner. Also, you might want to go to the boarding house and bring some of your things over. You should stay here, too. I think she’s going to need all of the protection she can get. The last thing I want is for that blond giant to think he’s got a chance of getting away with breaking into this house.”
“I’m right on it.” Mel turned to
