I can definitely get used to waking up in Eli’s arms. It’s warm, comfortable and safe. I love that I’m getting to know him better, mentally and physically.

The physical part is nothing like I was expecting. I don’t know if it’s the mate bond, or if it’s him, but I never expected an orgasm to feel like this. I can’t imagine what it will be like when we complete the bond. I remember hearing stories about how incredible it is, and I can’t imagine it being better than this.

I don’t feel nearly as self–conscious this morning as I snuggle back into Eli’s embrace. I love the sound of his sleepy growl when I wiggle myself against him, causing his already hard length to twitch against my back.

“What are you doing baby?” He asks me sleepily.

“Snuggling up against you.” I say as I wiggle myself even closer to him.

His arm pulls me impossibly closer and he pushes his erection against me. “I like waking up with you pressed against me.” He says, kissing my neck and biting down gently, making me shiver. “But we have a bus to catch this morning. One more stop and then we should be home, or to what was home when I left.”

He lifts his arm and I move off the bed, turning to stand in front of him. I feel bold this morning.

‘He’s a sexy man and he wants us. We’re Alpha females, we should feel powerful because we are.‘ Maia says.

I lean over the bed, watching as Eli’s eyes darken. “Come on old man, come shower with me.”

In an instant, he’s out of bed and has scooped me up. I wrap my legs around his waist, chuckling as he begins walking to the bathroom. I’m a tall woman, at 5’11“, but Eli carries me like I weigh nothing at all. I like it.

“Who are you calling old?” He asks, growling in my ear.

“Did I seem old last night when you had my hard length in your mouth?” I shake my head, no.

“Did I seem old when I had you screaming your pleasure over and over?” I gently nip his neck as he turns on the water. “No.”

“Do

you need a reminder of just how young I am?”

I giggle like a schoolgirl. “Yes.”

And he does remind me, in the shower, three times. Yep, I could definitely get used to this.

We spend the next two days on the road, working our way to Birmingham, again finding a small town on the east side of the city. We had planned to stop earlier, but realized we were in the middle of wolf territory, so we kept going for another half day.

By the time we stop, we’re both ready for a shower, food and bed. Much like our previous hotel visits, we get to know each other over dinner then again in bed. I’m becoming more and more comfortable with the thought of Eli and I finalizing the mate bond. I want to see this pack he put together and make sure there is nothing that gives me an indication that he’s been lying to me this entire time. But if it’s as he says it is, then I think I’m ready to complete the bond.

‘It’s about time.‘ Maia says in my head.

Between her constant desire to complete the bond and my body’s own pull to Eli, it is getting harder and harder to resist the temptation to mark him. My canines. came out last night while I was kissing his neck and I had to pull away quickly before the need to mark him became too strong. And while I’m ready to take our sexual relationship to the next level, I know he won’t until I’m ready to complete our bond. After the canine issue, I have to agree.

The last leg of our journey is another two days. While we’re enjoying our time together and getting to know each other, I think we’re both weary of traveling. I’m excited to see what this pack looks like. According to Eli, it’s run down and needs to be rebuilt. I never really considered how exciting that might be, to build something of my own from the ground up. If his makeshift pack is still there, they are the type of people that would be invested in rebuilding the pack lands. They would want a place to call home, one that they could be proud of. It sounds like they just need the guidance of their Alpha.

he’s

Eli has told me several times that he’s not an Alpha, he only proclaimed himself to be one. But there is more to being an Alpha than just blood. Although I do think it’s possible that Eli has Alpha blood, he also acts like a leader. He’s strong, compassionate and from everything I’ve gathered from what he’s told me, caring. He may not know exactly how to run a pack, but I have some of that knowledge, and as mates, we can build something together, helping each other as we go.
