I let out a squeal as Blake snuck back into my room and picked me up

from behind. I trying to go through my clothes so I didn’t have to do it when we got home. This way I had my keep and donate pile organized.

“Blake,” I giggled.

“I’m here to help, whatcha need,” he said, putting me down and spinning me around to face him.

“I’m just going through clothes. I have a keep pile and a donate pile. If you could just hold up an item I’ll tell you to keep or donate.” I explained.

“On it boss,” he grinned before pecking my lips and we both got to work.

I was lost in thought as I worked, not realizing that Blake wasn’t asking me what I wanted to keep. I turned around to find everything in the donate pile.

“What are you doing?” I scolded, he jumped as he had his back to me.

“What? I figured you could just donate it all and we could go shopping when we get back to the pack,” he shrugged and I scoffed, crossing my arms over my chest.

“Did you forget that I’m now unemployed and I may be selling this house but I still have to pay for the cabin and the addition?”

“And I hired you,” He announced.

“Just like that?” I questioned.

“You’re nice to look at,” he said and I gasped.

“And you are pretty good at your job,” he finished, moving to me and pulling me into his arms

“Pretty good, huh?” I smirked, wrapping my arms around his neck.

“The best I’ve ever seen,” he exaggerated, causing me to giggle.

“Then I guess I will come and work for you, Alpha Orion,” I purred, stepping on my toes so I could run my tongue up his neck. He growled, before he shivered, goosebumps covering his body. He squeezed me against him.

“That was mean,” he grumbled, looking down at me. I just wiggled my brow.

“Maybe, but you were about to donate my favorite sweatshirt.” I shrugged.

“You can have any of mine,” he demanded, and I shivered. I never thought a man’s controlling voice was hot but Blake’s had me eager to please him.

“If you insist, Alpha,” I purred. I gasped as he pushed me against a wall, his body pinning mine before his lips were on mine. His kiss was demanding, and punishing as he thrust his tongue into my mouth, tasting every inch of me.

I felt drunk with lust when he finally pulled away, resting his forehead against mine. He left me breathless and weak in the knees, as his body pressed against mine. I didn’t want Blake to stop. I didn’t care that my

bed was already packed away in the moving truck. I’d like him to take me anywhere, as long as he was inside of me.

He let out a groan before resting his forehead on my shoulder.

“The guys are going for lunch as they wait for us to finish.” He grumbled.

“Then we should get this done so we can get home,” I told him and he sighed.

“Fine,” he pouted.

I managed to save a few items before Blake put everything in the donation box. He was convinced I could just go out and buy everything new or just take his. I think he just likes it when I smell like him. Or he has no concept of money.

When the truck was packed and my first house was empty it was time to leave. It was bittersweet as Blake pulled away from the house. That part of my life was over and now a new chapter was beginning. I wasn’ t sure where it would lead but I was excited to see where I would end up. And I knew Channing was excited to be a part of a pack. I’m not sure about joining one, I like my freedom, but I won’t stop Channing from joining Blake’s if that’s what he wants. I’ll support him, either

way.

“You okay?” Blake asked from the driver’s side. He reached over and took a hold of my hand, lacing our fingers together.

“Yeah, it’s just a bittersweet moment. The job I believed would take me to retirement is now over and I’ll be selling the first house I bought. This is just such a surreal moment for me and for once I’m not stressed.” I answered, smiling at him.

“And why would you be stressed?” He squeezed my hand, not taking

his eyes off the road.

“Money, mostly. But now, even though, I’m technically unemployed, I’ m not stressed. I’m excited to see where this will lead. And to be my own boss. Before I was always chasing a paycheck to make sure Channing had everything he needed. But now I know if anything were to happen, he would be okay.” I squeezed his hand.

“So, does this mean you’ll join my pack and become my Luna?” He asked as he pulled the rental SUV in front of the waiting jet.

“Blake, that’s a big step,” I stammered as I tried to find the right words to say

“You don’t have to answer right now, Ryley. But that’s what I want whenever you are ready to take that step with me.” He turned to me after putting the vehicle, in park.

“Blake, I like what we have right now. Can we just enjoy this for now? I’m not saying that I don’t want those things with you, it’s just too fast. I wanted to reassure him, that I want this, but I need things to happen slowly. I want to get to know him before we move into the marking stage of the relationship. With fated mates, you know that’s mate but I’m choosing to be with him and I want to make sure I’m making the right decision.

your soul

Blake shut the vehicle off and climbed out, without saying a word. I was internally scolding myself for being so st**id to think that an alpha would wait around for anyone. I jumped when my door opened. Blake leaned in, pressing his lips to mine.

“I’m already all in, baby, however long it takes you to be ready, I’ll be waiting.” He mumbled, resting his forehead against mine.

“I want this, Blake. I want us, I just need to take this slow.
