“You don’t need to explain. I know.”
Dayson was surprised. “You know?”
Talia picked up bits and pieces from Dayson, Jaeden, Maya, Stephanie, and several others, how there are women who are trying to win Dayson’s favor and become his Luna by using their charms and connections, and that Marcy belongs to that group. Talia didn’t know the details, but she was aware how those girls have impressive backgrounds, and that Dayson can’t reject them rashly without causing unimaginable chain reactions.
Talia clearly remembered his words, “You said that Marcy won’t be your Luna in this life or any next one. I believe you, Dayson.”
Dayson smiled. He said that in the attic of the packhouse at the Red Moon pack, shortly before he asked Talia to come with him.
Dayson nudged her cheek with his chin, and Talia lifted her head. She met Dayson’s icy-blue eyes which stared at her in awe.
“Thank you for remembering that.”, Dayson said. “And thank you for your trust.”
“More than remembering your words, I am watching your actions. As long as you don’t give me a reason to doubt you, I will not leave.”
“And if you doubt me, you will give me a chance to clear up the misunderstanding. Right?”, Dayson reminded her. That was the deal they made.
“IF it’s a misunderstanding.”
Dayson frowned and pinched her nose. “If you doubt my sincerity, it’s a misunderstanding.”
“How can you be so certain?”
“Because only you get to call yourself Mrs. Blake. Now give me more kisses because I still didn’t have my fill for the morning…” He puckered his lips.
Talia rolled her eyes. Dayson was back to being playful.
“Isn’t it time for breakfast?”, Talia asked.
“Not yet. Steph will mind-link me when it’s ready. Until then…”
Instead of finishing his thought, Dayson’s hand landed at the back of Talia’s head, pulling her closer and he was delighted that Talia returned his kisses with equal fervor after a moment of hesitation.
…
Jaeden was ready to depart after breakfast.
He was driving to the Blue River pack with two warriors accompanying him, and Talia and Dayson stood at the door of the packhouse and watched as Jaeden and Maya hugged and kissed like Jaeden was going on a suicidal mission to save humanity.
Dayson had a strange mix of iciness in his eyes a smirk at the edge of his lips which showed how he loved and hated the scene at the same time.
Dayson loved that Maya was already getting a taste of her own medicine. She was feeling desperation at the thought that Jaeden will be out of her reach.
And Dayson hated that it reminded him of his rage when he saw Talia with that drunkard in the Shifters nightclub, and the excruciating pain that pulled Dayson out of the meeting with Alphas which ended only when he found Talia with Keith next to the lake, and his helplessness as he watched Talia on the playfield with all those sweaty soccer players around her. None of those would happen if Maya didn’t meddle.
Talia couldn’t look at Jaeden and Maya making out like there is no tomorrow, so she decided to ask Dayson, “What’s next?”
Dayson knew that this was his adorable assistant Talia asking. “I will go through emails that you so well organized, and you can use that time to read the book Travis gave you. Once I have something for you to do, I will let you know.”
Talia’s face lit up. It seems that this assistant work is easier than she thought it will be. Other than a boatload of kisses before breakfast, she even got time to read the book. But there was one more thing… “I have training with Keith later.”
Dayson smiled mysteriously. “Coach Keith sent me your schedule. Don’t worry, you won’t miss your training.”
Talia nodded happily. In this way, she will not skip anything she wants to do. Other than cooking. But she can spend some time in the kitchen on the weekends when Dayson is taking it easy with work. Perfect.
If she ignored the sad parting between Jaeden and Maya and the nerve-wracking call from Alpha Edward, this day had a promise of being overall awesome.
…
Just as Dayson promised, Talia got nearly two hours of studying when he called her with, “It’s time for your training.”
Dayson led the way up to the third floor and Talia paused at the sight of Dayson’s huge walk-in closet.
What the…?
“Change into clothes for exercise.”, Dayson said while removing Talia’s blazer. And it’s not that he just removed it, but he also kept it neatly on the hanger and then he moved to the right side of the closet and started unbuttoning his shirt.
Talia was too confused by the situation to notice Dayson undressing right next to her.
She stood in the middle of a massive closet that was bigger than the room where she spent years, in the attic of the packhouse at the Red Moon pack. Dark brown shelves lined the walls and there were bars for hangers with clothes, drawers, and even narrow shelves for shoes. In the middle was a massive standalone mirror and a long leather bench, but the most shocking out of all that was that the left side of the closet had her clothes.
When did that happen?
“Why are my clothes here?”, Talia asked while opening the drawer only to see her underwear, neatly folded, with matching bras and panties together.
Dayson chuckled. “You said that this can’t be our room while your things are across the hallway, so…”
Talia’s mind stuttered.
At that time, she was confident that Dayson was teasing her, but this… Wait! What if he is still teasing her but his idea of a joke is much more elaborate than her imagination could stretch?
Talia jolted out of her thoughts when she felt Dayson’s heat on her back.
His arms were already around her waist, keeping her in place.
“I told you, kitten, I won’t lie.”, his words splashed on her ear. “I never lied to you and the only thing I expect from you is to give me enough time to prove that.”
Talia’s hair was lifted into a high bun, exposing her neck, and Dayson couldn’t resist the temptation to kiss her right there.
Talia’s body shook when she felt his lips at the base of her neck, and his teeth grazing her skin sent electric bolts through her body that shot straight to her core.
Dayson groaned when the scent of her arousal reached him.
“Damn it, kitten. At this rate, you won’t get to do any training.”
That didn’t mean she wouldn’t exercise, but the exercise he wanted was without clothes, just the two of them, merged into one.
Talia let out a shaky breath when his lips latched onto her neck, and his hands caressed her body, disheveling her clothes further with each stroke.
This was so inappropriate, yet she couldn’t stop leaning into him, wanting more.
“Dayson…”, she called breathily when she felt him lifting her skirt. “This… Training We shouldn’t… Ah…” Her words ended with a moan when he bit her ear while growling lowly.
Her mind was a mess, and she moved her arms backward to hold onto him, only to realize that he was not wearing any shirt. She wanted to turn and hug him, but he didn’t allow her to move.
“Stay still, kitten…”, he breathed heavily.
Dayson wanted to touch her everywhere, but he was also aware that he was reaching his limit. It was an internal struggle of wanting more and keeping in mind that he should take it slow.
But how on Earth was he supposed to take things slow when his mate was releasing all those sweet moans and letting him do as he pleases? And it was more than just letting him have his way, she was responding to him wonderfully.
Dayson was painfully aware that the little woman in his arms is his to mold and if he gives in to his urges to devour her, he might break her and ruin the progress he made so far.
Dayson sat on the leather bench with Talia on his lap, facing away from him.
Her skirt was bunched around her waist and most of the buttons of her shirt were undone.
Their current position allowed Talia to see Dayson’s legs between hers, and she realized that he changed clothes and was now wearing only black training shorts. Dayson spread his legs, forcing hers to open widely.
Talia wanted to lean forward, but Dayson bit her neck, forcing her to stay on him. He didn’t pierce her skin, but the sharp pain radiated through her body, each pulse morphed in pleasure and Talia gasped.
His every move made her body hum and come alive like never before.
Talia felt like she is close to falling apart, yet she didn’t want him to stop.
“Oh, God…”, she called breathily when he pinched her nipple without removing her bra.
