me. When you scream, it will be in ecstasy.”
    I nod and fight the fear of his teeth. Turning my head, I close my eyes, offering myself up to the man I love. His scent intensifies. And the sharp puncture I feel is quickly followed by his thick, hard length pushing in to fill me. Sinewy muscle flexes under my hands as I grab his butt to bury him deeper when he pumps. Warmth rolls over my neck, and Berch licks my wound as his moans reverberate through me.
    Heat from where he bit me travels through my body and lights my nerve endings on fire. The orgasm that explodes from me is a sensation so multiplied I fear I’ll black out, and my screams fade as I slip from consciousness. But Berch’s voice crying out my name as he comes keeps me present.
    Sweat is slick on our skin when he collapses on me, and our bodies heave as we suck in air. I say, “Wow.”
    Berch speaks against my neck. “Uh-huh.”
    A wave of exhaustion washes over me, and I snuggle into his embrace. “Feel free to save me like that every day.” I let my sleepiness take over and close my eyes.

CHAPTER TEN
    B erch’s voice saying my name wakes me, and my voice is hoarse when I ask, “What time is it?”
    “Around five thirty. How do you feel?”
    I stretch my arms out, and my shoulder is stiff, but nothing aches. My hand darts to my neck when I remember Berch bit me. My skin is smooth, and I wonder if it was a dream. But the moment I wiggle to sit up, the dampness between my legs makes me break out in a grin. “It wasn’t a dream.” I glance down at the sparkling diamond on my finger.
    Berch’s hand strokes my cheek. “No, babe. It sure wasn’t.”
    My stomach growls, and he says, “I called your mom to say you’d be staying with me for a while.”
    I raise my eyebrows, about to ask what else he told her, but he says, “She knows I changed you. And you’re going to need time to adjust.” He chuckles. “And I’m sorry, but I had to tell her we’re engaged, because she asked if I put a ring on it.”
    “That sounds like my mom.” I rub my neck again and marvel at my new speedy healing abilities. “So what happens now?”
    “You shower, I feed you, and then I’ll teach you how to shift.”
    Even though Katie told me shifting doesn’t hurt much, nerves make my stomach flip. I notice Berch has that excited look in his eye that reminds me of the little boy he used to be. “What?”
    “It’s a full moon tonight. You’re going to have so much fun.”
    I grin at him. “Do I get to howl?”
    “Of course.” He whips the covers off me. “Now get into the shower while I go make your dinner.” His gaze drops, and Berch licks his lips. “On second thought...”
    “So that’s how it’s going to be?” I throw a pillow at him and get out of bed. When he lets out a growl, I squeal and run to the bathroom.
    Berch’s bathroom is gorgeous, and I’m beginning to wonder how he managed to build this house on a teacher’s salary. I step into the glass stall and notice dual showerheads. I’ll definitely have to play out a few fantasies with those. Water rushes at me when I turn one on, and the warmth makes me sigh in pleasure. The light scent of the soap I use makes me think of Berch, and my physical reaction makes me think maybe I shouldn’t have run off so soon.
    By the time I get downstairs, steam is billowing out of a pot, and the scent of garlic wafts toward me as Berch stirs something on the stove. The terrycloth robe he set out for me has sleeves that are too long, and the cotton is thick in my hand when I roll them up. My bare feet step onto cold tile as I walk over to the saucepan. “Alfredo sauce? You’re going to make me fat.”
    “You’re going to do a lot of running tonight.” Berch lifts the spoon toward my mouth, and I take a cautious taste while he adds, “Besides, you’re too thin.” He grabs my butt playfully. “I like something to hold onto.”
    Creamy cheese flavor coats my tongue, and I let out a sigh. “In that
