.Memories of my last visit here came flooding back.Nate showed me this house, and he gave me a silver brush and mirror that had belonged to her.The gift was so thoughtful; I didn’t expect him to also give me the gemstone necklace that he had given to her soon before she died.My heart swelled with love from the memory of that day.I kept the feeling in my heart and also thought of why I had fallen for him in the first place.He was kind, giving, and very sweet.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, taking in the cold crisp air, and pictured pale blond, wavy hair and dimples that popped out of both cheeks when he smiled lovingly at me.Could I stay mad at him, never see that face again, or feel his touch? The answer was a resounding NO! We would always have issues, and complications that might come up, but that was life.Nobody was perfect, and I realized that was my problem.In my mind, Nate was flawless, and it was shocking to find out that it wasn’t true.He made mistakes just like the rest of us.But that was my issue, not Nate’s.He never said he was perfect.He admitted to his mistake and was sorry for it.Was I going to punish him for the rest of our lives or finally let forgiveness into my heart?As those thoughts flowed through my mind, I realized that I was wasting time away from him.I needed to remedy that as soon as possible.I took off in a run to our cottage, knowing for some reason that he would be there.The ground under my feet was bumpy and at times, rocky, but I never lost my footing.I was too focused on my destination and who was waiting inside.As I pushed open the door, he looked up from a book.He was sitting in an armchair, with a small fire burning in the fireplace we usually never used.“Thank you,” I whispered.He gazed at me in confusion.“For what?” he asked, folding his page over and tossing the book on the table in front of him.It hit the surface with a smack.He had changed, wearing blue plaid pajama pants and a light blue long sleeved t-shirt.I closed the door behind me, feeling my limbs begin to thaw.I pulled off my coat and tossed it on the bench.I ignored it when it fell to the floor.“For taking my pain away.”I took a few steps closer, until I stood above him.His brow rose slightly.He didn’t understand.“If you hadn’t bitten me, I would have gone through what Lauren did.So, thank you.You are always trying to protect me.”He closed his eyes briefly, pressing his lips together, and breathed deeply.“You know I didn’t mean to do it.I couldn’t have known what Charlotte was planning.”I shrugged.“I know, but it doesn’t change that it did happen and that you stopped me from suffering.”“But I didn’t mean to,” he repeated.“Doesn’t matter what you meant to do, all that matters is what happened.You.Saved.Me.”When I thought of the pain and misery that all four of us had gone through, I just wanted it all to stop.No more heartache, no more drama.We were together, and I wanted to be happy.“I’m sorry I took so long to realize that.When I think of what I put you through.” I couldn’t finish the words.My eyes burned with tears at the thought of him suffering through all of the guilt alone.The thought vanished as I was suddenly pulled against his hard chest.I didn’t even see him stand up.The scent of leather and pine overwhelmed me, waking up feelings I had been suppressing.I couldn’t hold back any longer.A fire erupted inside me and every nerve in my body screamed for his touch.I leaned up and kissed him.He breathed in deeply and then wrapped his arms around me.I may have started the kiss, but he took it so much deeper.He kissed me hungrily with desperation.It felt like so long ago since his soft lips touched mine.I craved him more than I ever thought possible.My heart ached for more of his touch, and it felt like an eternity since his fingers brushed my skin.My hands moved under his shirt and over his firm skin and hard muscles.Before I realized what was happening, I was being lifted up into his arms and carried into our room.We fell onto the bed wrapped around each other.All reason left our minds.We were mated werewolves that were meant to be one.His kisses were soft, and his touch was so right.Our clothes were quickly disposed of, and we were finally able to continue where we had left off so many nights ago.This time there were no interruptions.Afterward, I lay back on the bed with Nate’s head lying on my stomach.I twirled my fingers in his soft silky hair, feeling content and happy [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
