“Will I be like that with you?”
“Absolutely. There’s nothing we can hide from each other.”
“What if I’m mad and don’t want you in my head?”
Kenzo let out a hearty laugh before answering me.“You can’t turn off the mindspeaking, but you can ignore me.”
“Well, that doesn’t seem fair,”I grumbled while opening my eyes and looking up at the ceiling.
“Think about it like this. We can have all of our own secret conversations without anyone hearing them. Whenever I get the urge to tell you how much I wanna suck on that sweet, juicy pussy, I can without any interruptions.”
“I like that,”I purred back to him while thinking about all the nasty things Kenzo could say to me.
“Let me find out I turned you out,”Kenzo chuckled.“You gotta get up. Everyone is waiting on you.”
“I don’t have anything to wear.”
In the heat of passion last night, Kenzo ripped up all my clothes. He said he never wanted to see me wearing clothes again. It sounded good, but in reality, that wasn’t possible.
“Look in the chair by the window. There’s a dress for you.”
“Coming,”I quickly replied upon seeing the white dress thrown over the chair.
I climbed out of the warm bed that smelled like Kenzo’s toasted vanilla scent, tempted to take the covers with me. If I could sniff his scent all day, I would have without a second thought. I stretched to see if I felt any difference now that I was mated with Kenzo, but I didn’t physically feel anything. However, there was a steady heartbeat ringing in my ears that wasn’t there before. Surprisingly, it wasn’t annoying to hear the consistent heartbeat. It brought a sense of peace to me.
“Kenzo!”I called out to him when I remembered the dream I was having last night.
“You don’t have to yell. You can talk to me normally. The way we communicate through mindspeak is the same way we talk to each other in person.”
I whipped around at the sound of Kenzo’s voice echoing in the room to see him leaning against the door frame with one arm raised and his body resting against the raised arm with a smirk on his handsome face.
Out of instinct, I moved to cover my naked body. “You scared the shit out of me,” I scolded Kenzo while frowning at him.
“What you covering up for when we’ve seen every inch of you?” Kenzo asked as he pushed himself off the wall to walk over to me. He pulled my body into his once he was close enough to me. Kissing me sweetly, Kenzo left me in a momentary daze. “I missed you.”
“Am I crazy because I missed you too?” I asked while getting lost in his fiery gaze. I really missed Kenzo. Granted, he hadn’t been away from me long, but anytime he wasn’t next to me felt like he’d been gone for an eternity.
“Nope. Sounds like you’re in your right mind,” Kenzo chuckled while leaning down to kiss me again with his hands firmly gripping my ass. “What were you calling me for?” Kenzo asked after breaking our kiss, and sadness filled me.
“Oh, yeah. I was dreaming about a bear who looked just like the one you turned into and a white wolf cuddling. What does that mean?”
“That was my bear and your wolf. She’s breathtaking, by the way. Bonding together too. When your wolf revealed herself to us, we were amazed. Never in a million years did we think she would be as magnificent as she is. I can’t wait until she’s confident enough to come out on her own.”
“That scares me. Shifting. What is it like?” I asked while laying my head on Kenzo’s chest. Hearing his heart calmed my worries.
Kenzo rubbed my back and rested his head on top of mine. “Uhh, it’s interesting. The first time can be scary, but once you get used to shifting, it becomes second nature.”
“Does it hurt?”
“Not that bad. It can if you don’t shift for a long time.”
“Time, time, time. You two will have an eternity to be with each other. We must leave soon.” I could hear Tiny’s voice, but beccause of how I was positioned in Kenzo’s arms, I I couldn’t see her face. There was an anxiousness to her voice that usually wasn’t there.
“We’re coming,” Kenzo answered for us.

After we got dressed and greeted the others, Tiny ushered all of us out of the house. I was really curious about what her deal was. Tiny was a lot of things, but nervous, anxious, or jittery weren’t any of them. She’d been acting off since she came in to get Kenzo and me. I asked Kenzo if he noticed it, and he confirmed I wasn’t tripping. I prayed Tiny wasn’t trying to do anything sneaky.
