They fell apart, and Harper looked confused as we quickly put her clothes in place and helped her sit up.
A moment later, she seemed to understand when the footsteps became louder and Aria came bounding down the hall.
She came around the corner, rubbing her eyes sleepily. “Mom, I’m hungry.”
Harper laughed. “I’m sure you are. How about we have a snack?”
CHAPTER TWELVE
HAWTHORNE
Istood at the door while Harper read to Aria. I smiled every time her voice changed with the story to reflect the character. During the first book, Aria was excited and laughing, pointing to all the different illustrations and asking questions.
Now by the third book her eyes drooped and she was almost asleep. It was nice seeing this other side to Harper. Though I had no doubts she was an excellent mother, seeing her in action warmed my heart. I knew in this moment I would do anything to make her mine, to bring them into the pack and protect them always.
Once the book was done, Harper kissed Aria’s forehead and gently pulled herself off of the bed. She clicked the light off and the night light Leo bought came on. It illuminated stars onto the ceiling. We didn’t go overboard, wanting Aria to design her own room when they hopefully moved in, but we added some pink and purple bedding, some books, and of course, the night light.
“That’s very pretty,” Harper said as she approached me. I followed her out and let her click the door shut quietly.
“I agree.”
She leaned against the wall, looking drained. I curled up around her, letting her lush, soft body meld to mine.
She pulled back and landed a kiss on my lips. I was obsessed with this woman. My tongue swiped at her lips until she opened for me, letting me taste her fully.
“Want to take this upstairs?” I asked.
She nodded. A moan slipped from her, and I couldn’t control it. I lifted her easily and she wrapped her legs around me on instinct.
“You can’t pick me up,” she gasped as I began walking up the stairs.
“Says who?” he asked.
“I’m too heavy.”
“I promise you kitten, I’m fine.”
A gasp slipped from her lips at the feel of me. My mouth worked up her neck, nipping and kissing her soft skin. My teeth burned with the need to bite her, to mark her as mine, but we weren’t there yet.
I tossed her onto the bed upstairs, crawling up her body.
“I crave you,” I growled, my wolf showing himself once again.
She looked at me, but it was as if she was really looking past me, straight at my wolf. He warmed at her gaze, wanting to get closer, so I let him, allowing myself to partially shift. My ears popped from the top of my head, and my tail swooshed out behind me. My entire body got a bit larger, and I felt her shift on top of me to accommodate me.
Her eyes widened, but more with interest than anything. Her hands ran over my hair to my now pointed ears.
They twitched under her warm touch, loving the feel. I buried my face in her tits, allowing my now larger tongue to lash over them. Her sharp intake of air broke me.
I yanked her top down, revealing her full breasts. They fell heavily, her nipples larger and round. I cupped one of them inmy hand, bringing her nipple to my mouth and sucking on it hard. I groaned at the taste, wanting even more.
My tongue flicked her bud hard, and she arched her back under me, pushing herself even further into me. I felt the bed shift as Jasper joined us on the bed. I knew he was in the shower when we came in and he must have finished.
He ran his fingers through her hair and tilted her head to the side to kiss her hard. His hand came around her throat and I could see him squeeze just a bit. Not enough to cut off her air, but enough to hold her in place.
“Did you start without me?” Leo asked as he walked in the door. I turned to look at him, but he seemed more interested in what was going on underneath me.
Leo snaked up on the other side, taking her other nipple in his mouth and sucking. With all of us here, I felt whole, like everything was how it should be.
