GIANNA
I was having the most amazing night; things couldnât have gone better. I was dancing with the love of my life, and all my friends and family were there to witness it.
Father had insisted on inviting all of Kolâs pack so they felt more included. I thought it was so sweet of him. Everyone feared him; why wouldnât they? He was the king.
âGia! Oh my God, girl, Iâm so emotional right now I could burst! You look amazing! This day has been amazing!â I heard Emily squeal before I even saw her running toward me with Liv in tow.
A huge smile spread across my face. âThank you guys so much. Iâm so happy you both are here!â I squealed back.
We all hugged; it felt so good to be back with my girls. So much had happened in the last six months that weâd kind of fallen out of touch apart from the odd text message and canceled coffee dates.
âWe have to meet up soon, babe! Mimosaâs? I mean, you are a married woman now. I think we should up our game!â Emily swayed her hips to the music.
Liv and I looked at each other, laughing. She looked like she was pretty tanked already.
I clutched her arm gently. âOf course, babe! With my spending more time at the pack house now, Iâm really gonna need my girls. Now come on! Letâs dance!â
I grabbed them both and dragged them to the dance floor. I spotted Kol drinking whiskey with the guys at the bar. I rolled my eyes. Typical men.
Once the party was finished, Kol and I went back to our home. He was adamant about carrying me through the door, so I let him. I regretted it when he whacked my head on the door.
He was pretty steamed, to be honest. I was surprised he could stand up straight, never mind pick me up.
He carried me all the way to our bedroom and threw me on the bed.
âKol!â I giggled, landing with a soft thump on the sheets. He growled at me while removing his tux. I bit my lip, watching him undress.
~Fuck, heâs so hot.~
I reached around to unzip my dress and stood up, letting it fall to the floor. His gaze followed my dress as it fell. His mouth opened.
â~Youâre so beautiful~,â he growled, lifting me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist. Iâd never wanted someone more in my life. He was my mate, my husband, my forever.
He laid me on the bed and nestled himself between my legs, kissing my mark on my neck. My body was alive with electricity with each touch.
âIâm going to worship you,â he whispered, his kisses moving down my body.
We didnât have sex that night.
We made love.
It was slow and intimate and passionate.
It was perfect.

I woke up with a killer hangover. I groaned at the light coming through the window and rolled over, reaching out for Gia.
She wasnât there.
I lifted my head off the pillow and squinted around the room. âGia?â
Then I smelled it. Bacon. She was downstairs cooking. ~God, I love this woman.~ I pushed through the dizziness that surged through my brain as I stood up, rubbing my eyes.
I slowly made my way downstairs. Walking into the kitchen, I saw the most beautiful sight, my wife dancing around in one of my shirts.
She hadnât seen me yet; she was humming along to a song on the radio. I leaned against the doorframe and watched her plate up the food and place it on a tray. ~Breakfast in bed? God, sheâs perfect.~
She spun around and froze when she saw me watching her, a blush exploding through her cheeks and flushing her chest. âHow long have you been standing there?â
âLong enough,â I replied striding over to her and taking the tray out of her hands.
I lifted her up, and she wrapped her toned legs around my waist, kissing me along the way as I walked her to the table and laid her on it.
I climbed on top of her. She grabbed my ass and pulled me closer to her. I growled and kissed her hungrily. All of last nightâs tenderness was gone.

Like wild animals, we grabbed and pawed each other. Last night had been perfect. It had been slow and passionate, intimate for my first time.
This morning, however, I was hungry for more, and I didnât want it slow. I wanted it hard and fast, and guessing by his movements, Kol wanted it that way too.
I grabbed his ass and pulled his crotch into mine. I ran my hands up his bare back, leaving scratches along the way.
He growled deeply from his chest in appreciation as he nibbled on my collarbone, making me go wild in anticipation of where this was going.
He pulled his shirt off over my head so I was lying on our kitchen table in nothing but my panties.
He opened his mouth to say something, but I shut him up with a kiss, falling backward so he was on top of me again.
I panted as his fingers slipped into my now aching sex and started swirling. My back arched, and I moaned loudly, my mind soaring just from his touch alone.
~CLICK!~
~What the?~
~What the fuck is that noise?~
~CLICK!~
~Seriously?~
~What?~
âKol,â I mumbled.
âHmmmm?â He nibbled my earlobe, clearly thinking I was in the moment, not knowing I was looking for his attention.
âNo, Kol, seriously.â I pushed him off, and he looked at me like a sad pup.
~CLICK!~
âWhat the fuck is that noise?â I hissed at him, looking around, then I saw it out of the corner of my eye. A camera lens up against our kitchen fucking window.
~CLICK!~
âKOL, OH MY GOD. THEREâS A MAN OUTSIDE!â I screamed, covering myself with his shirt. Kol tore out of the house, screaming like a madman after the guy with the camera.
Iâd never seen the color leave someoneâs face so quickly.
