"I am."
My cock jerked. "And you said I was unhinged."
"You said that too. Why don't you want me to reciprocate? What's the problem with letting me touch you?"
"Continue with your contract."
"I want you to bring the couch back. And whatever other furniture was here before you got rid of it all in an attempt to make me sleep next to you."
"Fine."
She scribbled her name on the bottom of the page, then set the paper and pen down on the desk, directly in front of me. "Sign it or don't. I'm not making the vows without this. Sable and I are on the same page. She'll sleep on the floor if you don't sign."
Considering the way the wolf had slammed the door in my face, I believed her.
I could probably win her back in time, though. The wolf liked to snuggle too much.
I stared down at the paper long after Kat left me in the office.
The woman had just given me an ultimatum.
Liv was wrong. She didn't want love.
She wanted freedom.
I wasn't sure which was worse.

Callum joinedSable in the bed thirty minutes later.
"I won't snuggle unless he tells us why he doesn't want you to fuck him,"she promised."That was in the contract. He has to tell us things."
She had finally accepted that I was right. Him keeping the soulmate thing from me was what did it for her.
"Thank you."
"Maybe you should've warned him about that again before we left,"she said."I can't tell him."
"He'll remember. He looked like I'd punched him in the face when I brought it up."
"Hopefully. I still want to snuggle."
Of course she did.
I did too, if we were being entirely honest. Just not with the current situation in the relationship.
We were soulmates.
That was big. It felt big, at least.
Fate had paired us together, and I assumed there was a reason. The conversation had to have potential. The snuggling, too. I was well aware that the sex did.
I wanted to experience all of those things with him… but I had to be careful about how I did it, or he'd just keep manipulating me.
Callum showed Sable the signed contract and said he'd both scanned it and emailed me a copy. After he set it on the nightstand, he went into the closet to change.
