<b>Chapter </b>121
Summer’s POV
The moment we crossed into ckwood territory, tension visibly melted from Alexander’s shoulders.
His jaw rxed, though his eyes remained alert as he carried me through the pack house’s grand
entrance.
“You don’t need to carry me,” <b>I </b>protested weakly, even as I nestled closer against his broad chest. “I can
walk.”
“Indulge me,” he murmured, his lips brushing against my temple. “I need to feel you safe.”
The pack members we passed lowered their eyes respectfully, but I caught their curious nces.
Their Alpha carrying bloodied luna through their halls was surely fodder for gossip, but Alexander paid
them no mind as he climbed the sweeping staircase to the private quarters.
My heart raced as he shouldered open the door to his bedroom.
After our heated exchange in the car and his promise of what would happen when we returned, I
expected to be thrown onto his massive bed, imed thoroughly by my Alpha mate.
Instead, Alexander carried me straight past the bed and into an adjoining bathroomrger than my entire
bedroom at Silver Creek.
A deep, circr tub dominated the space, and Alexander gently set me on my feet beside it.
“First, we need to wash away today’s battle,” he said, pressing a kiss to my forehead.
<b>I </b>raised an eyebrow as he turned to the enormous sunken tub and began filling it with steaming water. “A
bath? After that teasing promise you made me back on the road?”
Alexander’s lips curved into a wicked smile as he added fragrant bath salts to the water. “Patience, little wolf. The night is young.”
As the tub filled, he turned to me, eyes burning with desire as he slowly began unbuttoning my blouse. His fingers brushed against my skin with each button, sending shivers down my spine.
<b>“</b><b>You </b>know<b>,</b><b><i>” </i></b><b>I </b>murmured, reaching <i>to </i>unbutton his shirt in return, “I’ve seen all this before.”
“And yet,” he replied, sliding my blouse off my shoulders<b>, </b>“I’ll never tire of unwrapping you.”
Our clothes fell to the floor piece by piece, neither of us rushing the delicious anticipation. When I stood naked before him, his eyes roamed my body with such open appreciation that I felt my skin flush with heat despite our familiarity.

“So fucking beautiful,” he growled, his voice thick with desire as he took my hand and helped me into the
tub.
The water was perfect–hot enough to soothe my aching muscles but not scalding. Alexander climbed in behind me, settling me between his legs, my back against his broad chest. His hardened length pressed against my lower back, a promising reminder of what was toe.
“Mmm,” I sighed, letting my head fall back against his shoulder as the scented water enveloped us. “This
feels divine.”
“You’re divine,” he murmured, his lips finding the sensitive spot where my neck met my shoulder. His
hands slid around my waist, one moving up to cup my breast while the other traveled lower, fingers sying possessively across my abdomen.
I closed my eyes, surrendering to the dual sensations of the warm water rippling around us and Alexander’s expert touch. Coral, my wolf, purred contentedly inside me, reveling in our mate’s attention.
“I was so proud of you today,” Alexander whispered, his thumb circling my nipple until it hardened into a
tight peak. “Watching you fight… knowing you’re mine…”
His other hand dipped lower, fingers sliding between my thighs with familiar confidence. I gasped as he
found that sensitive bundle of nerves, already swollen with need.
“Alex,” I breathed, my hips instinctively rocking against his hand.
“Yes, baby?” His voice was a husky rumble against my ear as his fingers continued their maddening
circles. “Tell me what you want.”
“I want you inside me,” I managed, my breathing faster as he increased the pressure of his touch.”
Now.<b>” </b>
Water sloshed over the edges of the tub as he suddenly lifted me, turning me to face him. Our eyes locked, his burning with primal possession as I straddled his hips.
“You’re soaked, honey.” His voice was husky as his fingers slid through my folds, testing my readiness.
And not just from the bathwater.”
I bit my lip, grinding against his touch. “Only you do this to me, Alexander.”
With surprising strength, he lifted me slightly, positioning himself at my entrance. “Say it again,” hemanded, the Alpha in him surfacing. “Say who you belong to.”

<b>“</b>You,” I gasped, sinking down onto his impressive length, taking him deep inside me in one fluid motion. ” Only you, Alexander.”
