When Valerie left for the kitchen, it took everything in me not to go after her, and do everything that had restrained myself to do, but I knew we couldn't. I can't be intimate with her until I'm at least not living off her.
I can't bring myself to do that to her.
I'm hugely indebted to her at the moment due to her endless mindlessness and kindness. The last thing I should be thinking about is having her legs around my neck as I pleasure her as much as I want.
This was something I couldn't be more clear about, but my wolf wouldn't take it. He was raging inside me like a horny brute.
"Let me out, you coward." He growled. But I'd be damned if I let him out right now.
"We need to talk," I told him, and the instant I did, he scoffed angrily.
