“I’m not sneaking.”
She spun around in the water. “What would you like to call it?”
“I’d like to call it keeping an eye on you.”
Casey laughed. “Why?”
“Lucinda came to see me.”
She rolled her eyes. “Can no one do anything inside this pack without someone tattling?”
“Did you go see her?” he asked.
“No, I didn’t.”
“Are you lying?”
She scoffed. “No, I don’t lie.”
He took a step closer toward the edge of the lake, and when he got level with her clothes, he began to remove his own.
“What happened?” he asked.
Dex saw her gaze at him, and he slowed, tensing his body, so she got the full appreciative view of him.
“I was walking and thinking and I got distracted. Before I even realized where I was going, I was at Lucinda’s. That is all.”
He stripped down to just his boxer briefs, and he looked at Casey. He was not going to keep playing coy or constantly dance around her to get what he wanted. Pushing his boxer briefs down his hips, they landed on the floor, and he heard her gasp. Her gaze was on his dick, and he was already hard. He stepped into the pool.
“You’re naked.”
“That is what happens when you go skinny-dipping.”
“But I am skinny-dipping and I still have my underwear on.”
He tutted. “Maybe you should take them off.”
“I … no, I don’t think I should.” She nibbled her bottom lip.
“Why not?”
“Because you don’t know who could … you know, be watching.”
“Casey, you’re the only person I know that comes to the forest as much as you do. There is no one else. Just you and me. Besides, once they saw I was here, they wouldn’t dare try to take me on,” he said.
“You’re that big and powerful wolf that no one wants to mess with.”
She moved back and he advanced into the pool, getting closer to her.
“I’m glad you see that. Maybe you should take some notes.”
He loved her laugh.
“Wow, you are so full of yourself.”
“Come here,” he said.
“Is that a command?”
“Yeah, it is, or do I have to come and get you?”
He had no problem chasing her.
“No, I’ll come,” she said.
She moved toward him, and the moment she was close enough, he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close. The moment she touched his body, he couldn’t deny how good she felt. The fullness of her tits, the lushness of her ass. Everything about her was perfection.
He knew she always would be.

There was no fear as Casey walked toward Dex. There was just trust and as his arms wrapped around her body, that panic of moments before evaporated. Her panic wasn’t because of him, far from it. Even in moments when she wasn’t even thinking about the transition, she’d suddenly find herself panicking.
The hardness of his cock pressed against her back, and she closed her eyes, sinking against him, not wanting him to leave her alone.
“Do you have any idea what you’re doing to me?” he asked.
She smiled as she just couldn’t help it. “I’ve got an idea.”
One of his hands moved down, resting on her stomach, and she couldn’t help but gasp.
“Do you like that?” he asked. “My hands on your stomach?”
“You know I do. Can’t you sense it?” she asked.
“Yeah, I sense a lot of things when I’m with you.” His lips pressed against her neck. “Tell me you don’t want me.”
She frowned. “Why would I do that?” There was no point in denying what they both wanted. She craved him and feeling his arms wrapped around her, she now understood more than ever how much she did. He was written deep into her soul.
This connection they shared wasn’t because of some vague attraction. It went deeper than that. On another level, they had known they were mates. Their souls had sensed one another, and now they were together, or at least partly together.
“Casey?”
“What do you want me to do, Dex? Reject you? Tell you I’m not ready?” She slowly turned in his arms and pressed her hands against his chest but then started to glide them up, and she smiled at him. “That’s not going to happen.” She licked her suddenly dry lips, and she couldn’t help but glance down and look at Dex’s lips.
“You’re making this hard for me.”
She pressed her body against his so she felt the hardness of his cock as he was so close.
“Good. Dex, I thought I was ready to turn into a wolf.”
“You will, you just—” She pressed her fingers against his lips and shook her head.
“I’m not saying I won’t. What I’m saying is that I was ready. I was excited. I don’t know what has stopped this from happening. It has made me realize that sometimes in life, it’s not about how ready you are, or how not ready you are. Life is going to throw whatever it wants, and you’re going to have to deal with it.”
