Luke complains.
“So what you are saying is
“I want to make love to you tonight, but I want to hold off on marking.
Lily’s eyes widen. “Really?”
“You wanted to take it slow, remember?”
She glances down at her half-naked self. “Yes… but don’t you think it is a little late for that?”
I smile at her reminder that she is on my lap, half-naked. The lust that was driving me a few minutes ago returns full force.
I put my hand on Lily’s breast, squeezing it gently. She moans, which encourages me to lean down and kiss the top of it. She moans again, and I continue to kiss not only the top of that breast, but also the other one too.
Feeling brave, I take one of her nipples into my mouth through the fabric of her bra, and gently suck on it.
Lily moans are getting louder and louder.
I may not have any experience with any of this, but I know I must be doing something right to be getting these kinds of sounds from her.
While I continue to kiss her, I reach behind Lily and fumble with the snap on the back of her bra. It is not cooperating as well as the front-snap bra she was wearing earlier. Annoyed, I extend a claw out so that I can cut it off of her. Tomorrow, when Lily realizes what I have done, she may be angry that I ruined her bra. But right now, she could care less.
“So… what… you are… saying is…. sex tonight … marking… tomorrow?”
she pants between moans.
I pick Lily up and lay her on her back on the bed. I then climb on top of her.
“No,”
I growl. “Making love tonight, marking tomorrow.”
She smiles as I kiss her lips once again. The kiss becomes more and more heated. Thanks to the sparks,
I can practically feel the electricity as our tongues explore one another’s mouths.
When she reaches for my belt, I cannot resist the urge to move my face right back to her newly freed breasts. Derek Ab bott was a major a&&hole do uchebag, but he was not wrong about one thing: there is something magical about being able to get lost in Lily’s chest. I could die here happily.
Lily helps me out of the rest of my clothing, and I-again feeling impatient-cut off her panties. There is now no barrier separating us.
Soon thereafter but do not worry, not too soon- I am able to confirm that Lily and I are no longer virgins. I now know what heaven tastes, feels, and looks like. I do not know how I managed to ever live my life without it, or without her. 1

Lily. My amazing Lily.
(Brady POV)
I was not happy when my father walked into my office.
We had been fighting constantly since the pack was attacked, and the fights only got nastier after I told him about my fight with Evelyn. We have had four arguments today alone.
In retrospect, I wish I had not told him about the fight with Evelyn and just dealt with the James issue on my own. I had incorrectly assumed that he would be angry at James, and that he would support me flying to Arkansas to rescue Lily.
In fact, that assumption is 100% the reason that I told my father what happened. Otherwise, I would have continued to try to avoid him.
Unfortunately, I could not have been more wrong about how my father would react. Instead of being mad at James, my father was angry with me for threatening a pregnant woman with an alpha order. I tried to explain that I would only have used the command if Evelyn gave me no other options, but that served to only enrage him further.
“You do not make a’threat that you are not willing to carry out,”
he told me angrily. “And you never threaten the mother of your child. If you are left with no other options, you make new ones.
Then, turning to the James issue, he pulled his phone out and texted him. Right in front of me! It took James a while to respond, but when James did-saying that he had not talked to Andrew since Hawaii- my father arrogantly told me that he considered the accusation that James was involved “case closed.”
When I refused to accept that -explaining that I was still sure James was the most likely culprit- my father became absolutely enraged. He accused me of refusing to trust his instincts that James had not leaked anything to Andrew. (For my father, there are only two sins greater than incompetence: disrespecting the mate bond, and questioning his instincts.)
Then, to make matters worse, during one of our later fights about it, my father accused me of being too blinded by my feelings for Evelyn and my jealousy towards James to see what was really going on.
He even went so far as to make a formal demand that I turn the pack back over to him temporarily until we figured out where the problems were and/or until Lily was ready to take on her destiny. I knew very well what he meant by “until Lily was ready to take on her destiny”
: he meant until James and Lily marked each other. Of course, I was no more willing to turn the pack over to him than I was willing to accept that
Lily would choose to be with James.
Anyhow, this was the pending dynamic between us when he came into my office… without knocking, as
“What do you want?”
I asked him.
“The test results on the chocolate came back.”
“Oh.”
“Yeah.”

My father took a seat in one of the guest chairs across from my desk. That may seem like a normal thing for him to do, but it was not. He never sat in a guest chair. Unless he was standing, he insisted on sitting in the alpha chair… even if I was already sitting in it. For my father to be sitting in the guest chair meant something… and it was not good.
“What were the results?”
I asked cautiously.
“The chocolate had technetium arsenide in it.”
I gulped as I stared at my father, not saying anything. My father stared right back at me, with concern in his eyes that was very different from the anger that I had gotten used to lately. My father and I may not be getting along right now, but if there was one thing that we could agree on, it was the need to keep Lily safe.
Finally, after a full five minutes, I broke the silence.
“Technetium arsenide is the only substance that can be used to drug a member of the werewolf council,”
I said.
“Correct.”
“So whoever it was that hired the imposter guards, they must know about the prophecy.”
“Correct.”
I stood up and began pacing as I ran my hands through my hair.
“I have to get to Lily.”
“She is with James. She is safe.”
I stopped and looked at my father in disbelief. “How can you say that?”
To my surprise, my father did not respond to my question angrily. Instead, he just looked sad.
“Son, I know that you have feelings for Lily, but James is her mate. The Moon Goddess intended for the two of them to be together.”
“Lily does not want James, Father. He hurt her.”
“He has changed, Son. I was skeptical at first too, but he has. And the two of them deserve an opportunity to see if they can work things out. If they can, and if they mark each other, Lily will be a whole.
lot safer than she is now.”
My father’s words were surprisingly soft, and he was looking at me with pity. The last time he looked at me this way was when he apologized for how he handled things when I messed up with Evelyn.
