Chapter Three
Liam didn’t care about what other people said. All he could see was the future in front of him, and he wanted to spend it with Jenny. She was so sweet, so kind, so loving. Even though they’d been on one date, he knew he wanted to spend as much time with her as he physically could. She was everything to him.
Running fingers through his hair, he waited on the doorstep. Her brother Danny had already given him glares for daring to call round for her. It was stupid, seeing as they were getting married in less than a week.
The preparations had been fast. Neither family wanted to wait too long. They were all trying to stop a bloodbath. Liam just wanted to spend time with Jenny. She was all he could think about.
In the mornings, he woke up wanting her beside him. He’d always been a man who loved sex and the epitome of control, but without Jenny, he felt he was going insane. He had to take matters into his own hands and give himself a release at least six times a day.
He wanted to fuck.
What was more, so did his wolf. The need to claim her was so strong. He’d never felt anything like it before. It was all completely foreign to him.
He was about to knock again when the door opened and Jenny appeared. She offered him a smile.
“You didn’t call,” she said.
“I needed to see you.”
“Is everything okay? I will understand if you wish to call the whole thing off. I know I’m not exactly the kind of woman you might like.”
He closed the distance between them, sinking his fingers into her hair and tilting her head back with the firm grip he had. “You have no idea what I feel.” Pressing his face against her neck, he breathed her in, groaning as her scent surrounded him. Vanilla and spice, a heady combination. He flicked his tongue across her neck, and hearing her gasp made him fucking melt.
So perfect.
So sweet.
“What are you doing, Liam?” she asked.
“I have no idea. I had to see you.” He forced himself to pull back rather than bite her neck. To taste her. He wanted to strip her clothes off and feel her against him. To completely surround himself in her scent.
“The moon is full tonight,” she said.
“I know.”
“Are you in control?”
“No,” he said. “What’s more, I don’t want to be. All I can think about is you. All of you. Every single part of you.” He slammed his lips down on hers. Liam didn’t know what he expected, her to slap him or push him away. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck and melted against him. He broke the kiss to trail his lips to her neck. “You have no idea what you fucking do to me, baby.” He growled, thrusting his hips against her so she had no doubt what he was referring to.
“I think we should take this elsewhere,” she said.
He pulled back and saw the curtains twitch inside her house. “Yes, we should.”
Liam couldn’t bear to be apart from her. He took hold of her hand, locking their fingers together as they left the safety of her driveway. The city was busy, and he went straight to his car, which he’d parked away from her house only because he didn’t know how much control he had.
Opening the door, he waited for her to climb inside, then rounded to the driver’s side. He got behind the wheel, turned over the ignition, and joined the traffic. Rather than head toward the center of the city, he took them both out toward the waiting forest. It had been a long time since he’d gone for a run. The older he got, the more control he had. Right now, he had to let off some steam.
The full moon felt like a constant presence at his back, driving him to turn.
Neither of them spoke, but he felt her.
One glance at her body, and he saw her nipples were puckered against the front of her shirt. The scent of her arousal was already heady in the air, making his mouth water for a taste of her. His cock was so fucking hard he was surprised it hadn’t torn his pants in half to get free.
After parking in a secluded spot, he climbed out of the car. He went to help Jenny out of the car, but she’d already climbed out.
“I love being out in the open,” she said. “I’ve tried to leave the city so many times.” She tilted her head back and breathed in the air. “So fresh. So freeing.”
He copied her, breathing in the air that wasn’t polluted by the cars.
She released a giggle and turned toward him. “Catch me.”
Before he could stop her, she’d taken off into the woods.
