“Declan–ah!–” he bit her collarbone “-not in the hallway p>
Without breaking away from her, Declan managed to get to his feet and hoist Tessa up in his arms. He kicked his door open, carried her inside, and kicked it shut again. He dropped her on his bed and followed her down, covering her body with his. Tessa wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling herself harder against him. Th were both still wearing their parkas, and it was too much be them. Tessa wriggled against him, frustrated by layers of goos down and gore–tex. Declan went for her zipper, opening her jacket and peeling it off. Their hands clashed as she tried to do the same for
him. Between groping kisses and muttered cursing, they managed to
get their coats off.
“I have to tell you something,” Tessa gasped when they broke apart
for air.
“Later.” Declan moved to kiss her again.
“No.” She hooked her heel behind his right knee at the same time as
she shoved against his left shoulder. If he’d been expecting it, Tessa doubted she would have budged him. But, to her advantage, he was more than a little distracted. Declan collapsed with an oof onto his side. Tessa shoved him onto his back and straddled his hips. “Listen
to me p>
He gripped her hips and rolled, flipping her onto her back. Still cradled between her thighs, he grinned and ground his hips against
her heated core.
“Oh!” She arched against him with a ragged gasp.
Declan looked slightly undone himself, breathing roughly, head

bowed.
“Look,” Tessa said breathlessly, “Not to kill the mood but I just need to tell you something–I talked to Margaret about what I saw that night, at the party p>
Declan groaned. Not a sexy groan. An annoyed one. “Tessa p>
“Just listen. I want you to know that you don’t have to tell me
anything, okay? I won’t ask about things you can’t talk about. I’m not
family. I don’t belong here. I get that p>
Declan frowned down at her, the heat in his gaze cooling to
confusion. “Margaret said you don’t belong here p>
“She said that there are certain things you guys don’t discuss with
outsiders. I know I’m an outsider. I can do the math p>
“You don’t have to be an outsider,” he said softly, dipping down to
kiss her again. This one was soft, gentle. “The pack would take you
in p>
“The pack p>
“Goddamn it, Tessa! Quit using your feminine wiles to pull
information out of me p>
“I’m just laying here p>
“And you’re very good at it.” He sank back down against her, letting all of his weight press her into the mattress. She savored the pleasant crush of his powerful body, wrapping her arms around his neck and arching her hips against his. There was a big pink elephant in the room–it was covered in fur and looked a lot like a wolf–and
without a word, they agreed to ignore it.
Tessa reached for the hem of Declan’s shirt and pulled it up,

pressing her hands against the taut skin on his pelvis, roving higher, over a hard stomach and a broad chest, exploring all that hot skin and thick muscle. Declan made a pleasured sound deep in his throat–a sort of groan–growl–sigh.
He pushed up, taking his weight off of her so that he could yank his
shirt over his head and fling it to the floor, laying his glorious torso
bare for her eyes and hands.
“Your turn,” he growled, reaching for the hem of her sweater. Tessa lifted her arms and let him pull her sweater up. her camisole c
with it, leaving her in just her bra.
“Ah,” Declan breathed, his gleaming eyes arrested by the sight of her breasts overflowing her slightly–too–small bra. After a few months of good meals, Tessa was filling her clothes back out–some places more than others. Decian leaned in, pressing his lips to the soft upper curve of one breast, then the other. His touch felt so good, so warm, so electric. Tessa reached for the clasp and tugged her bra off. Declan’s lips went immediately to one peaked, aching nipple and
sucked
“Oh!” Her hands fisted in his hair, clutching him to her.
He laughed softly, a low rumble against her skin, and turned his attention to the other nipple.
“Mmmm… Declan…” She arched against him, helpless under the onslaught of delicious sensations sparking through her body. His teeth closed around her nipple, and a jolt of pleasure nearly tipped her into orgasm, even though she hadn’t even taken her pants off yet. “God, I want you inside me,” she gasped.
Her words clearly unleashed whatever restraint Declan had been imposing on himself. He ripped Tessa’s jeans off her legs like a magician doing the tablecloth trick. Her underwear came next. He shoved his own jeans down his hips, and then he was between her thighs, his cock pressed against her, hard and hot and big. Taking

himself in hand, he swiped the head of his cock through her folds
and Tessa moaned as he glided over her clit.
“Oh, god, Tessa. You’re so wet for me p>
“Declan–I need p>
He dropped his weight back down on her, and then the blunt pressure of his cock was pressing inside of her, stretching her. She was soaking wet, but it’d been a while since she’d had sex, and Declan was not a small man.
“Oh!” She flinched as the stretch became too painful. “Just, wait a second. Eeeeee–nope, wait p>
Declan held stock still, panting against her ear. “It’s alright, Tessa, we can stop. I can p>
She wrapped her legs around his waist. “I don’t want to stop. I just need a second.” She froze. “Unless you want to stop p>
A pained laugh escaped him. “Would rather not–but if you’re hurting p>
