“It is not my fault.”
“Oh? Well, tell me… Were you getting turned on by the discussion of big breasts?”
James teased.
“No, you a&&hole. I was getting turned on by the fact that my mate is a good person. That he was willing to stand up for moral decency even in the face of one of his celebrity idols.”
“Is that all it takes to turn you on?”
I did not respond. Instead, I let out a small sigh as James started to trail his fingers up my exposed thigh and along the hem of my dress. James then looked me in the eyes, silently asking me for approval as he started to slowly climb his fingers even higher up my dress!
“So… what do you think WE should do?”
he asked me in a husky voice.
Feeling his fingers reach my most private area, I let out a tiny moan. “I think… we should finish what we started earlier.”
James picked me up bridal style and headed towards my bedroom. “I agree.”

(James POV)
It is finally happening.
Tonight, I will make Lily mine.
I carry her to her bedroom and gently set her down. Then I cup her face with both hands and kiss her. There is eagerness, excitement, and emotion in the way that she is kissing me back. I can feel her longing, her desire, her love. It makes my heart swell with pride.
I almost cannot believe that we are finally here. That I finally have her-in my arms, exactly where the
Moon Goddess always intended for her to be.
My beautiful, s**y Lily. My mate.
I know that I do not deserve her, but I also know that I will move mountains to change that. I love her with all of my heart, and I vow that she will never again have to question her value or what she means to
I turn Lily around so that I can unzip her dress, which I do while nibbling at her neck. She slips out of her dress, leaving her in just her lace bra and panties. I am in awe of how beautiful and perfect she is. I cannot wait to explore every inch of her amazing body.
A part of me wants to continue to just sit here and stare at her, but she spins around eager to kiss me again. I am powerless to deny her, not that I would I ever want to.
As I deepen our kiss, Lily slowly begins to unbutton my shirt. When she reaches the buttons near my belt, she gently tugs my shirt out of my pants and pushes it off of my shoulders. She then runs her delicate hands along my chest.
The sparks are as strong as they have ever been. I am in heaven, and we have hardly done anything yet.
“And when we are done, everything will change and she will be safe,”
Luke reminds me.
Suddenly, I freeze.
I remember what Jessica told me about Lily’s wolf. Her full powers and destiny will be unlocked when she marks her mate. At that point, her mate will gain many of the powers that Lily has. That is one of the main reasons that Lily is in danger.
Once Lily and I are marked, she will be safer.
And everything will change.
“These are good things, James,”
Luke links me.
Of course Luke is right, but I feel frozen anyway.
Lily breaks me out of my thoughts as she looks at me in confusion. “Are you okay?”
she asks.
I gently rub her cheek with my thumb. “Yes. I am more than okay,”
I reassure her.
“Do you not want to do this?”
I can feel the fear and hurt coming from her.
I pull her against my body and wrap my arms tightly around her. “Oh, Lily. You have no idea how much I want to do this.”
She still feels uncertain, so I take her hand and move it to the tent that is currently straining my pants. Even with my sudden hesitation, I am as hard as I have ever been. “I want you more than you could possibly know.”
“Then why did you stop?”
“Yeah, I would like the answer to that too, Mo ron. We were THIS close,”
Luke links me.
I sigh and sit down on Lily’s bed, pulling her onto my lap.
“Once we do this, and once we mark each other, everything will change,”
I start to explain.
“Like what?”
“There is a prophecy…..”
“What prophecy?”
1 cannot tell you.”
Lily’s fear is immediately replaced with anger. She tries to get up off my lap, but I hold her tightly so she
Cannol
“Seriously? This again? Will anyone ever be able to tell me what this prophecy is that has been apparently controlling most of my life?”
1 cup her face with both of my hands, and I force her to look into my eyes. “Yes. You will know about the prophecy soon. Very soon.”
“But until then, what? We have to remain virgins?”
I cannot help but smile as Lily’s words fill me with a strange sense of pride. My sweet, virginal mate is angry and frustrated because she wants to have sex with me. ME. Lily wants me.
“No, that is not what I am saying.”
“So what are you saying?”
Lily asks.
“Oh, I can’t wait to hear the answer to this,”
Luke links me, clearly feeling just as frustrated as Lily.
I think for a few moments, trying to make sense of my own thoughts and emotions.
“After we mark each other, everything is going to change. And I know that is a good thing, I really do.
But first I want to have you just for myself for a little while. I know that sounds selfish, and it probably is, but… before everything changes, I want more time with you. Just you and me.
I want tonight to only be about our feelings for one another.
It is going to be the first time for both of us. I want it to be special, and I want us to look back on tonight and remember our connection to each other. I do not want those memories to be overshadowed by the memories of everything that will change afterward.
Just as importantly, I want you to know that I made love to you tonight because I wanted you, not because of what I will get from you after we are marked.”
“I cannot believe it. My human is not only a mo ron, but also a sappy, romantic mo ron,”
