“Your teeth will grow, you’ll get claws, you’ll be faster, stronger, and you’ll heal quicker. It’s nature's way of making sure you can protect you cubs if need be, that you can handle them. Are you mad I didn't tell you all this before we—”

She cuts me off, pressing her warm plump lips to mine, her sugar sweetness filling my mouth.

“I think I’ve loved you from the first moment I saw you sitting in that bakery, all grumpy. Something about you…it was like a part of me knew you were mine,” she says, pulling away from the kiss.

“I know I’ve loved you since I took my first breath on this earth. I’ve been waiting for you my whole life, and I will love you even after this world takes me.”

Her eyes glisten with unshed tears, making my wolf growl in response, unhappy at the sight.

“You’re my mate, my everything; I’ll spend my whole life making you happy. I love you, sweets.”

“I love you too. Even when you drove me crazy.” She gives me a playful smack on my chest.

“Trust me, it was hard to keep away from you, love. The most bittersweet three weeks of my life.”

“And now?”

“Now you’re all mine.” I flip her over, caging her beneath me, my wolf pushing forward, making my eyes turn black.

“Why, what big eyes you have,” she teases, a smile playing at her lips.

“All the better to see my beautiful mate with,” I tease back as I roam them over her perfect body laid out beneath me as I slowly slide down her form.

“Why, what big teeth you have.” Her words are breathy with desire.

“All the better to eat you with.” Grabbing her thighs, I pull her wide, exposing her pussy, showing her how well I could eat her.

Epilogue

RUBY

Three months later…

“I’m as big as a house!” I lie in bed with my feet propped up on pillows as Dominic rubs my swollen toes.

“You look more beautiful every day, sweets.” He’s giving me that sexy smile of his, and all I want to do is spread my legs and press that smile against my pussy.

He inhales deeply, closing his eyes. “Careful, my mate. You’re due any day now, and we have to be easy. This is your first time carrying our pups, and I want to make sure you stay healthy.”

“I wish you would have told me that pregnancy only lasts ninety days for shifters.” I rub my huge tummy, feeling our babies move. We were able to find out we were having triplets, boys, and while I almost passed out from shock, Dominic howled with delight. He hasn’t stopped smiling since that day, telling everyone we know, everyone we’ve ever met. He said it’s really rare for a human female to breed that many pups at once, so he thinks he mated me extra hard. That has to be the only explanation.

“Sometimes it can take longer, depending on the breed of shifter.” He kisses each one of my chubby toes, and I giggle at the sensation. He’s always spoiling me, and I can’t seem to get enough.

Since the mating moon, life has been a fairy tale. I still own the bakery and manage to work a few days a week. That is when Dominic lets me. Gwen has been amazing, taking over most of the day-to-day operations while I just do the business stuff. She hired on two young local girls to help, and business has been crazy good.

“Once the boys are born, I’m going to convert the office space next to the bakery into a daycare. Maybe something that the local women can use if they want to go get a coffee and a treat and have a break. I know I’ll want to be able to check on them constantly on the days I need to work.”

Dominic starts kissing up my legs, and I moan at the feeling. “I’ll be with you and the pups even more than I am now.”

I giggle at his statement. “You’re always at arm’s reach as it is.”

Once he reaches the inside of my thighs, he bites me a little, and my body responds instantly. I don’t know what I’d do without him by my side constantly. He’s always with me wherever we go, his wolf craving my body, and my body craving every inch of him.

“Do you want me further away from you?” He whispers the words against my panties, licking the already damp fabric.

“Never, my love.”

I hear his wolf growl low in his chest, his need for me rising. I feel his teeth graze my panty-covered lower lips, and it sends a chill of desire through me.

“Maybe I can be gentle and give you what we both need.”

I nod and let my legs fall wider apart. I’m so pregnant that it’s pretty much all I can do—just lie here and take what he gives me. But my mate is the most perfect male that has ever lived, and he makes me feel sexier as each day passes. His passion only fuels our love, and I can’t imagine my life without him.

When I feel him pull my panties to the side and his warm tongue connect with my center, I close my eyes and give myself over to the pleasure. Dominic owns me—body, heart, mind, and soul. I’d be crazy to fight this kind of love.

COACH

Retiring from the NFL was the right decision, and at thirty years old, I've done things most people could only dream of. After all I've accomplished, coaching high school football should be easy...but when you've got a distraction in the form of a nerdy girl with curves, things can get complicated.

She's a student, she's barely legal, and she's my best friend’s daughter.

I didn't know what desire was until Megan. I had no idea obsession could drive someone insane, until I saw her. I wasn't prepared for the fact that once I laid eyes on Megan my life would really begin.
