It was a relief that they drove away, even though she thought she might have been able to handle them with her magic.Her biggest concern was that Darren would try to be a hero and take on 6 wolves by himself.She'd been surprised that he had listened to her.Maybe he didn't have to have everything his way.That was the impression she'd gotten of him up until now.Lottie thought she might need to give him a break because he had been through a lot.Anyone could choose a bad lover, and she'd heard a lot of stories from her friends about things like that.Those stories might mostly be about females, but they could happen to males, too.
“Can we go finish our run?”Darren asks.
Lottie nodded, and he shifted immediately, and she followed suit.He took off running as he had last time, and she followed him.She couldn't deny that she loved the run, and her wolf felt free and happy.It seemed like a small thing to do to make her wolf so happy, and it was the perfect day for a run.The sun filtered through the tree's branches, and the weather was perfect, neither hot nor cold.Her wolf felt invigorated, and her paws hit the slightly moist ground as she ran, following her fated mate.Even though the relationship might never exist the way it was intended to, she would let her wolf have this run because she might never have more.
Maybe she was a fool to want this, but she could admit to herself that she did.Darren was such a handsome wolf, and she couldn't deny that she wanted him.She knew that he wanted her, too, just not in the way that she needed him to want her.Maybe once she was gone, absence would make his heart grow fonder, and he'd come to find her and admit that he knew she was always intended to be his.It was just a run, and she was already having crazy thoughts.
He turned and headed back towards her, and she saw that the run was over.There was nothing tying them together except his two little girls.She needed to face the fact that while he wanted her, that would never be enough.Lottie followed him as he headed back to the house.It was an odd time to have nothing to do because it wasn't quite lunchtime.She'd not expected to have free time in the middle of the week like this, especially after she'd had a day off that she'd spent with Harry.
They got back into the house, and he headed to his room, and she headed to hers.She assumed that he would get on his computer, which was what she had planned.There was always work to be found on the Internet and she did what work she could.It wasn't that she was poor, but she wasn't well off either.Maybe she should learn to do the kind of work that Darren did because he always seemed to have plenty of money.Lottie invested in stocks, but nothing like he did.She played it safe and had a regular investment taken out of her account, and any income from our stocks was immediately reinvested in the same stock.
It was her plan to start investing in real estate soon, and she had some money saved for that.She had a financial plan, and as she got older and felt more comfortable, she started investing in things that cost more money and took up more of her time.That was why real estate was her next step.Prices had gone up a lot lately in the areas that she was considering, so maybe she had waited a little too long before investing.
Harry and she had discussed the sweat equity thing, where you got some value in the places that you bought by making improvements yourself.She'd helped her dad with different things around their house, so she felt confident enough to attempt at least the most basic remodeling.It was her intention to buy a house to live in as soon as this job was done.Until she knew when the job would be done, there was no point in looking around for anything.
She turned on her computer, went to her To Do List, and began working.The jobs she planned to do were not the only things on there, because she also had bills and other expenses she paid.Those things were difficult to keep up with without a list, so she knew what had to be done and what was already done.Harry had discussed that with her because she had the same problem.In some ways, she and Harry were very alike because they were both a little absent-minded, and they both had a lot on their minds.
Lottie had even admitted to Harry that one of the things that was on her mind was Darren.Harry had suggested that she talk to Ariel, but why would Ariel know anything about her and Darren?It was true that she had heard the white wolf sometimes knew things, but she assumed those were important things, not just the relationships of people she didn't know well.
Chapter 8
Pursuing Her
Darren wasn't surewho to blame for the run's mess-up.Had he done it himself, or had it been those idiots who had tried to break into the house?He had intended to find some way to get closer to Lottie and show her that he cared and that he wasn't just after sex.Instead, he'd accomplished nothing, and now she was in her room, and he was in his.That wasn't the way he'd envisioned today going.He suspected that his mother had planned this whole thing to leave them together at home and alone.She would also be disappointed with how things turned out.
He should just go in there, knock on the door, and when she opened it, throw her over his shoulder and run away with her, not letting her go until she agreed to be his forever.Oh goodness, where had that thought even come from?His wolf snickered in the background, so that was where it had come from.His human side was both intrigued and appalled by the thought.There was no doubt that he needed to do something, or this weekend would be a complete loss.Things might never come together again in a way that would leave them alone.
What was he going to do?It was hard to make up his mind when he was of two minds right now.His wolf wanted action; immediate and definitive, without giving her a choice in the matter because she would only make the wrong decision.His human side was appalled by the way his wolf wanted to run things.She had the right to say now, even if it would ruin both their lives.The alpha way had never been his way, but his wolf whispered that it was his way now.Was he right?Would the wolf begin to run everything?Only if he let it, and right now, he was leaning toward the action part.Darren knew that something had to be done, or he would lose this chance of happiness.
Closing the computer, he stood up and paced for a moment, and then he decided.Darren opened the door and headed down the hall.He moved quickly so that he would not change his mind.He knocked on her door and waited.It took her a moment to answer because she probably had to finish whatever she was working on.When she came to the door, Lottie looked surprised.He moved closer, pulled her into his arms, and gave her a passionate kiss.There was no need to carry her away, at least not any further than her bed, which is where they ended up.He undressed her in seconds, and he was sure at this point that she wouldn't say no.Touching her felt so good that he had never felt anything nearly as good before.Had he only found her first, but he couldn't really say that, because his daughters had come from the poor relationship he had first had.
He moved his mouth to her breast, and she moaned with pleasure.Her nipple hardened as he sucked harder.He moved his mouth to her other breast to give her the same pleasure.His thoughts were of pleasuring her lower body, and he began to kiss his way down.When he reached her thighs, he dropped his nose into her folds to enjoy the aroma of her desire.A finger dipped into her folds and began to sink inside.She was soaking wet with her need for him.His tongue moved to her clit and began to circle it.She not only moaned but her hips began to move, and her hands sank into his hair to hold him in position.
Darren had no intention of leaving her thrashing with need.All he wanted was to bring both the greatest pleasure and take it to its ultimate end.His tongue whipped her clit, bringing her need to a frenzy as his fingers sank inside her, stretching her and preparing her.His pants were pulled down around his knees, and he was ready to sink inside her at the moment of her climax.This woman was all he wanted at this moment, and nothing else entered his mind.She screamed and tightened around his fingers, letting him know that she had finally reached her climax.
Moving his fingers, he replaced them with his cock, filling her completely.He moved his upper body until his mouth was able to touch her mouth and kiss her again.Now they joined in a wild dance of passion unlike anything he had ever known before.He slammed into her harder and harder, and she rose to meet him, wanting more.This time, they both moved towards their ultimate joy, and he licked her neck.His wolf was howling inside him, wanting more.Darren could sense that the time was near, and just as she orgasmed, he bit into her neck.It was not something that he'd intended, or at least his human side hadn't planned on it.
