Her heart was racing in a whole new way and she thought for certain it might run right out of her chest. Up until now their banter had been light and fun even in the moments when they had each let their feelings peek through. Now they had crossed over into something else entirely. The way he claimed that he wanted her at his side, the not so subtle possessiveness in how his tail wrapped around her, and how his forehead leaned into hers was beautifully overwhelming and thrilling all at once. She loved this feeling but she was also so incredibly frightened by the possibility and implications of what he was suggesting. Her breath hung in her lungs while his head pressed to hers and she let her eyes close to savor the way he completely took over her senses. “How do you know?” she asked softly after a moment, her voice breathless from the moment where she had forgotten to breathe. She thought about her father who had loved and been loved twice in his life. She had asked him about love at one point when she had been far too young to understand what that really meant and had questioned how he had known that the wolves he had made his mates were really the right ones for him and she had never forgotten his response. She pulled her face away from his enough so that her eyes could meet his again, her ears flicking back against her head uncertainly while she searched his gaze for answers. “How do you know I’m the one you want? Out of all the girls out there... why me?” |
