exposed a bedroom where he brought their luggage.
    She shifted from foot to foot and walked to the drapes along one wall. She opened the window and gasped at the view of the water and the mountains all in one. “Oh wow.” Athon walked toward her with his shoes off and his shirt open. “Do you like the view?” She nodded. “For a land-bound view, it is lovely. Give me the endless spans of the tundra any day.”
    He laughed. “And give me a forest, but this is as good as we can do here.”
    Venny looked at him. “How do we do this?” He wrapped her in his arms and propped his chin on her shoulder as they gazed out at the water. “Do what?”
    “Start living together. I know how it works in the herd, but I am not sure how to join lives with a wolf.”
    He chuckled and kissed her neck. “I am glad you kept the hesitation stifled until now. Will you let me lead and you follow?”
    She snorted and leaned her head to one side, letting him sweep her hair out of the way to give him full access to her skin. “I don’t know. I am not much for following. How about you lead and I stand next to you asking, Are we there yet? ” Athon laughed and turned her in his arms.
    “Deal. You, my dear mate, are wearing too many clothes.”
    Venny yelped as he lifted her and carried her into his bedroom. She was wearing the dress she was contracted in. “That is a matter for debate. Up north, this is lingerie.”
    He slipped off her shoes and caressed her feet, rubbed his thumbs across her ankles and made his way up her legs. Her skirt was pushed up as his hands moved up her thighs.
    As he leaned in toward the heat of her sex, she got nervous. “Um, shouldn’t we be doing something else?”
    He shook his head. “I was rather remiss earlier. It is my duty and pleasure to know every taste, scent and texture your body has to offer.” She licked her lips nervously, “Right now?” Athon nuzzled at the inside of her thigh. “I can’t think of a better time. You will be in full heat in a few hours. There is time to enjoy what we can offer each other before instinct takes over.” His logic was irrefutable and the slick lapping of his tongue against her skin was most convincing. She braced herself to watch and shivered as he pushed her skirt up past her hips.
    The first heated touch of his mouth on her sex made her moan. Watching his dark head moving slightly to get a better angle on her had her shifting her thighs to open to him.
    He pulled back, and she was disappointed until he lifted her legs to drape over his shoulders. With her settled, he dove back in to taste her, and she dropped to her back, moaning as he lapped and sucked at her flesh with a savagery that sent an answering surge of fire through her blood.
    His tongue burrowed inside her, drinking the liquid pleasure that her body was offering for his efforts.
    Venny moaned, groaned and with every muscle in her body clenching at the same time, her body rocked in a release driven strictly by the mouth of her mate.
    Dimly, she felt Athon tugging at her dress, but when she could think again, he was behind her, stroking his hands over her body, cupping her breasts and caressing the slick folds of her sex.
    Athon pressed his mouth to her neck, and he set his teeth at the base where her shoulder began.
    Venny fought the deep shudder that ran through her before she realised that there was no point in fighting it. He was her mate now. He had earned her honest reactions to his touch.
    His erection was pressing against her ass, and she rocked her hips against him, teasing him.
    His teeth gripped tighter as he seated his cock in her. His fangs shot out, and he thrust into her in the same moment.
    She hissed, grunted and gasped as he started to move inside her with no restriction.
    Venny moaned, gripped his thighs as he pumped into her. She inhaled sharply when he rolled her to her belly and resumed thrusting with power and speed.
    She clawed at the sheet under her, pushing up against him
