Mated by Night Read online

  Her brows rose with interest. “What do you mean? I’ve never been mated. I’ve stayed away from that because I like to travel and do things my way. Most alpha males can’t handle that.”

  He gave a sharp nod. “I was mated once.”

  She gasped. “You what?”

  “It wasn’t like tonight. There was no intense connection of feelings of belonging together. She and I had sex and I let the animal control things. She bit me and that pushed me to bite her back. It set off a chain of events that I didn’t want. In the end we were mated but barely knew each other.”

  She bit her lip and frowned. He knew what she was thinking. They hardly knew each other either. But things with them had been different. With Maria his instinct had been to get away from her once he’d bitten her. But he’d ignored it to do his duty. He shouldn’t have.

  “What happened?”

  “She was apparently mated to a few others.”

  She blinked wide eyes at him. “Is that even possible?”

  He nodded. “She’d lied to all of us. Told us her previous mate was dead. One of the men she’d strung along didn’t take kindly to her games and killed her.”

  “Oh, my God! I’m so sorry.”

  He shook his head. “I didn’t want another mate after that,” he said, pinning her with his gaze. “Sex is all well and good, but I didn’t want to live anything like that again.”

  She licked her luscious pink lips and cleared her throat. “What about now?”

  He grinned. She was gorgeous with her sexy smiles and mouth-watering curves, but that wasn’t what got him with her. Her big, innocent looks did him in. He knew that was the real her. Her eyes told him all he needed to know about her and it was that she wouldn’t play games.

  “Now,” he leaned forward and pulled her to him, until she was straddling him in the wide tub, “we get to know each other better while I kiss every beautiful inch of skin on your body.”

  She curled her arms around his neck and stared at him for a moment. “I was afraid to believe we could have something real. We’re so different. Heck, we’re different species. But something tells me this is so right.”

  “Trust your instinct, kitten. It will never guide you wrong.” He stared at her lips. Fuck he wanted to kiss her and fuck her all over again. He knew that wouldn’t change for a long time, if ever.

  “I will. I do have a request,” she said softly, her breasts brushing his chest.

  His mind was solely on sex, but he knew this was important. Then he could take her every way possible again. Before he took her to his home. She was his now.

  “What’s that?”

  She brushed her lips over his. “Let’s try to make this work, okay?”

  He nodded, pulling her head to his for a deeper kiss. “We’ll take it one day at a time.”

  That sounded so good. One day at a time with the wolf her cat wanted. Who would’ve known that cats and wolves can play well together?

  Six Months Later...

  “Wait. What?” Callum asked glancing up from the papers she’d handed him two hours ago.

  Ana grinned at the confused expression on her mate. She’d rarely been able to say anything to get that kind of reaction.

  “I said you’re going to need to give up your two-seater sports car soon because your plan to get me pregnant has worked.”

  He jumped to his feet and came around his desk in a rush, picking her up off her feet in a tight bear hug. “How the hell do you know that? I can’t scent the difference in you yet.”

  She laughed and hugged him back. “That’s because we’re having a kitty, Mr. Wolf. Not a puppy.”

  He leaned down and kissed her. “Then I guess we’ll have to keep trying for more until we have one of each...or a few.”

  She giggled and hugged him tight. “Let’s deal with the first one and see how things go.”

  He cupped her face and leaned close. “You got it. One day at a time sounds good.”

  It sounded perfect to her.
