before he pressed her back to the bed.
    His Alpha nature was coming out, and she was a little conflicted as to how she felt about it.
    She muffled her shriek as her orgasm struck with a rush of energy that tingled her fingers and heated her toes. It went on and on as Athon continued pounding into her with sharp slaps of skin on skin.
    Venny felt his heated breath on her neck a moment before he bit down on the other side of her neck, and his howling groan echoed in the room as his cock flexed and jetted into her. He released her with a jerk just as she was feeling the swelling at the base of his cock again.
    She twisted to give him a rueful glance. “That was close.”
    His eyes were the crystal shade that he wore as a wolf. His cock was shining and swollen at the base. As she watched, it started to relax.
    He sighed heavily and leaned down to kiss her.
    “You have no idea how tempting it was to stay inside you.”
    She finished flipping to her side, and she casually tried to close her legs and sit up. Her limbs were shaking, but she managed it. “You had better feed me before you plan on getting stuck again.”

Chapter Nine
    H er heat hit hard and blurred time. When she finally came back to herself, it was two days later and she was sore. She wore the thick blue silk robe that he had offered her, and though it was too long, it helped her return to the confines of her body.
    Athon looked a little worse for wear as well.
    His stride was slower, and he wore a grey silk robe rather than put normal clothing on. They were sitting out on the balcony attached to the bedroom and having coffee. Athon was staring at her with a rapt expression. “Can I take your picture?”
    She was still dazed but she asked, “What?”
    “You look amazing right now. Your eyes are bright, your hair is crystal white and your skin looks like pearl. I want to capture that image.” She blushed. “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
    He finished his coffee and walked back inside.
    “Humour me. I have this in my mind now, and I want to see what a camera does to your skin.” She frowned and sat while there was a banging noise from inside the apartment. She sipped her coffee and watched the ships as they moved through the grey-blue water.
    They had an appointment for dinner with the area Alpha but that was hours away.
    Venny finished what was in her cup, and she went inside, washing the mug and setting it on the draining board.
    Athon emerged from his studio and grabbed her hand. “Come on.”
    The backdrop was a stormy blue, the same colour as the sky the day they arrived. Athon bullied her into sitting with her legs twisted to one side, looking back over her shoulder at the camera.
    He started clicking, and two hours of posing, licking her lips and tousling her hair later, she was aching and he was pleased. He hauled her to her feet and kissed her. “You are lovely, beautiful, stunning and mine. Your colouration makes you unique, and your soul makes others see it.” She chuckled. “If you had wanted to get weird with any of those images, you would have seen how my soul was feeling about it.”
    “I don’t need the world to see you naked, they just need to see you.” He caressed her cheek.
    She grimaced. “I don’t know what I would do when they stopped staring and actually spoke to me.”
    “Let me stand with you as you find out. I am guessing it will be spectacular.” She sighed and leaned against his chest. “Don’t pin all your hopes on me.”
    “You pinned yours on me to get you through your heat. Now for some quid pro quo .” He held her and ran his hands up and down her spine.
    “We will grow into this union. Nothing will happen overnight.”
    She smiled up at him with watery eyes. “I usually shove things into place.” He laughed. “You can shove all you want, I am not moving.”
    They got dressed. The fabric seemed harsh on skin only used to the touch of their lover.
    Venny picked a long skirt and a wrap top that she
