People who could instill in her the necessity for secrecy about that part of her life.
Once they told Brianna the truth about their shifter heritage, Carl and Mateo had always promised that, one day, they’d find a pack for the three of them to join.
They’d kept that promise, absolutely.
Brianna had always wanted a big family of her own. Besides missing her brother and Carl, one of the things she’d hated about being away at college was being alone. She’d been wary of making close friends, or telling people much about herself, because Carl and Mateo had warned her they didn’t know if the Seguras would place people at the university to watch her. They’d been careful not to tell anyone what school she attended, and as far she knew, she hadn’t let anything slip to anyone.
Another reason she’d rarely dated anyone. Trust was difficult.
Between them, she felt Da’von’s cock rubbing against her and she spread her legs a little, wiggling her hips until she got the angle right and could easily slide him completely inside her with a contented sigh that he echoed.
“Damn, girl,”he happily muttered, more in his mind than aloud. He was still getting the hang of talking to her through their mate bond.
Now she could take her time. With his undivided attention fully focused on her, she slowly rode him as they kissed, and his hands roamed her body.
She also understood even better why the few times she had tried to date she just didn’t feel it. Compared to the love and passion filling her soul for Da’von, those distractions had been like taking a first cousin to a dance.
As their passion and tension built within her, she sensed he was getting closer.
Until he caught her off-guard and flipped her over under him.
He smiled down at her. “Got you now, baby.”
Her heart fluttered, her soul undone for him.
All for him.
She got to spend the rest of her life with him.
Maybe this perfection was the Goddess’ way of repaying her for the years of loneliness and grief she’d lived through.
If so…it wouldn’t bring her family back, but at least she had a new one to lean on now.
Her brother and brother-in-law were happy.
Her mate was happy.
Da’von nuzzled her head to the side and nipped her neck, down at the junction with her shoulder, making jolts of need bounce through her core.
Whining and squirming against him, she tried to urge him for more, but he sensed that and chuckled. “What’s wrong, baby?”
“I need you.”
He took a hard thrust inside her and grazed his teeth along her flesh. “Like that?”
“Uh-huh!”
Now that he realized what she wanted, he gave it to her.
And gave it to her.
Until she was out of her mind with need and begging him to let her come.
He finally picked up the pace, building her up again—and then she wasthere. As her orgasm broke free, he kissed her again, speeding up to finish with her, until they both fell still while sweetly kissing.
Perfection.
He lightly sucked on her bottom lip. “This baby shower today’s gonna be too damn long.”
