“Are you sure you’ve never played this before?”

“Positive.”

Kade’s eyes narrowed slightly displaying his lack of belief in Thalia’s statement. They had been playing crazy golf for the afternoon and despite claiming she had absolutely no knowledge of how to play golf let alone crazy golf, the pregnant she-wolf was doing extremely well. Not that Kade had brought her here for a competition but Thalia’s earlier complaints about how rubbish she was going to be suddenly seemed hugely unjustified. Luckily there were only a few other groups around even if they were human so any spirited comments about being a ‘sneaky she-wolf’ or ‘stubborn beta’ went unnoticed.

“Well,” Kade shifted on the bench as Thalia completed her last shot and wandered over to him. “I don’t even need to look at the score to know you beat me.”

Thalia let out a soft laugh, a sound that had Kade smiling and his wolf growling happily. It was certainly a sound he wanted to hear more of. Since finding each other there had been little to smile about. Kade couldn’t remember if he had heard Thalia laugh before so he was going to treasure this moment and yes, one day tell their pups about the day they went on a date. He might just change the part when he lost to save himself some dignity.

“It’s not about winning, it’s about participation.” Thalia teased as she took a seat next to the beta and grabbed her slushie. “But yes, I did indeed win.”

“Hm,” Kade grumbled but one look at his face and it was obvious he was only joking around. “I am thinking we will have to do a rematch when you’re not pregnant. I’m sure the boys are giving you mum strength.”

“Mum strength?” Thalia raised an eyebrow, laughing slightly.

“Yeah.” Kade nodded and smirked. “This was blatantly three against one.”

“Oh hush!” Thalia laughed, smacking Kade’s arm playfully. “You’re a terribly sore loser, you know that?”

“So I’ve been told.” Kade grinned, grey eyes sparkling cheekily. “Come on, let’s go take the clubs and balls back and head back.”

It wasn’t overly late but the temperature had cooled again despite being close to summer. A wind whipped up dragging murky looking clouds and the scent of rain with it. It was still too early for the bouts of high humidity and blistering sunlight that country endured when summer came and while the temperatures rarely reached similar heights of the grecian summer, the humidity was a real bitch.

They made it back to the car as the first flickers of lightning danced across the sky followed by the distant growl and boom of brontide. From the north west, slate grey clouds built and pressed against the wall of hot air holding it back. To the east, soft blue sky and the golden rays of light tried to hold out against the storm. Unlike the storms of Greece, this was lumbered slowly off the North Atlantic ocean. Thalia knew that this one would stick around but the thought brought a pang of homesickness as she compared the weather here to her home country where thunderstorms passed through violently but thankfully, quickly. Within an hour the heavens would open and thunder would boom at deafening levels before the sun would chase the clouds away and the skies would brighten. It was an odd thing to remember and yet the weight of yearning settled on her heart nonetheless.

She would have to contact her father again to settle her soul again.

“So, I was going to talk to you about this yesterday but uh…we got distracted.” Kade’s voice suddenly broke through Thalia’s thoughts. “Daniel and Eva would like to meet you. They are going to be travelling to the south west and suggested they stop by to talk to you about joining the pack.”

Thalia’s eyebrows sprung up, glancing at the male beside her. He was nervous. She could feel it dashing along the mate bond like nails on a chalkboard. It took a moment to realise that Kade’s worries weren’t about whether his Alpha and Luna (and best friends) would accept Thalia but rather if Thalia would accept them. They hadn’t really talked about their plans, hell they hadn’t even discussed what the babies meant and Thalia was nearing five months pregnant very quickly. However, Thalia could tell that while Kade was giving Thalia all the control and power to decide, he was desperate for the parts of his world to come together. Her acceptance of his pack meant more to Kade than his attitude might let on.

“Okay.” Thalia forced a smile on her lips to hide her own anxiety over the matter. “When?”

“I don’t, tomorrow maybe?” Kade glanced at Thalia, grey eyes doing nothing to hide the storm of emotions he was feeling. “I will contact them when we get back to the caravan.”

Thalia's smile didn't feel forced this time. Kade was relieved and happy and Excited. Yes he was still nervous but knowing she had made him happy felt like warm waves washing over Thalia. She hadn't experienced anything like it ever. It obviously wasn't the first time she had been able to feel Kade's emotions or work out what he was thinking but being bonded to someone so deeply was still a new sensation. It wasn't like anyone could prepare someone for the experience. The Aphrodite Pack women would teach the pups about the mate bond through stories but none could ever prepare a werewolf for the real thing.

The storm was still rumbling like an grumpy old Alpha with a sore head when they made it back. Ever the gentleman, Kade drove to the caravan so Thalia wouldn't get soaked in the downpour. It didn't stop her from getting wet as the rain poured without mercy but Thalia was much drier than Kade when he returned from taking the car back to the office.

"You should dry off." Thalia chuckled, throwing a clean towel at Kade. "I can put some tea on to warm you up."

"Hmm," Kade finished drying his hair quickly. "I can think of a better way to warm up."

Thalia didn't have time to react before Kade wrapped the towel around her, his hands clutching the ends and tugging to bring her crashing into his solid heat. His mouth was on hers in a split second, the towel abandoned to the floor as one hand dove into Thalia's hair and wrapped around her back. The hunger had Thalia shivering from the intensity, waves of sparks dancing across her skin. Kade's hand tugged her head back a little more to angle her mouth into his, tongue darting in to dominate Thalia's. Finding some of her senses, Thalia managed to break the kiss and Kade's hold on her; dark brown eyes meeting sinfully grey ones as she backed away. Her lips tingled and swelled from the passionate kiss and while her body begged to submit to another mind-numbing kiss, Thalia resisted but only so she could tempt Kade with her flesh.

And tempt she did. The moment her T-shirt dropped to the floor a growl rumbled through the caravan. Arousal from both shifters perfumed the air and Thalia shivered, unsure if it was the change in temperature from removing her clothing piece by piece or because of Kade's heated gaze. Kade kept his eyes on her as she backed towards the bedroom while he followed, shedding his own soaked clothing until they were both in the bedroom in nothing more than their underwear.

"You already know how to tempt me, mate of mine." Kade moaned, his arousal evident under his boxers.

A gasp escaped Thalia’s lips when Kade all but lunged at her like a beast subduing its prey. His mouth was on her but only for a brief moment before those tempting lips found her neck, nipping and sucking while pleasure buzzed through Thalia like soft sparks of electricity. There was a hunger in Kade’s actions that only served to stoke the hunger in Thalia. Her heart thumped so violently it felt like it was rattling her ribcage. Was it possible for one’s heart to burst free from its sinewy confines from such raging lust?

Kade used his height and broadness to his advantage, crowding his mate towards the bed until she was right at the edge but before she could fall onto the rigid mattress, he spun her, his broad chest and hands pushing into her back, forcing her to bend forward until Thalia was left exposed to him.

“Already so wet.” Kade’s voice was gravelly and hot as he crooned. His fingers had found their mark against the dampness of Thalia’s underwear, a dampness that hadn’t been caused by the rain but rather herself as she reacted to him so wantonly. “I will grow bored of how eagerly your body responds to me.”

Thalia could do nothing but moan and mewl when her lover’s fingers found that precios nub of nerves and rubbed it in circles through the thin material of her underwear. She shuffled her thighs to widen them, her back arching towards the mattress to open herself more to Kade.

“Billy, please…” She panted; wanting, no, needing more that the torturous tips of the male’s fingers. She needed to be filled and left crying in pleasure. “I need more of you.”

“Patience my mate.” Kade chuckled, pressing a few nippy kisses to the small of Thalia’s back. What he would give to sink his teeth into the generous globes of her backside. “Let me enjoy your body thoroughly.”

Thalia couldn’t help the small huff that left her, much like a cat denied its bowl of cream. Her sulk was quickly forgotten as cool air hit the fabric covering her womanhood, teasing her further. It was but a brief sensation that was quickly consumed by the heat of Kade’s devious tongue as it pressed against her waiting clit through her knickers. It seared her skin, the bundle of nerves being lavishly attacked, throbbing deliciously from the attention. Kade gave his mate no time to collect the muddle that were her thoughts. Before she could submit to the heat of his tongue willingly, it was gone. A soft whine passed Thalia’s lips, his head whipping around to glare at the male behind her.

“So impatient.” Kade laughed softly, hands cupping and squeezing Thalia’s ass that he was becoming very obsessed with.

“You tease unfairly.” She replied only to squeal when one of Kade’s hand’s swatted her bottom.

“Sorry.” Kade murmured but there was no apology in his voice nor in his eyes.

Kade did not change tactics despite the warning growl from his mate. He simply ignored her frustrations in favour of slipping the band of her underwear aside enough for his hot wet tongue to lap over the moist lips of Thalia's opening. On instinct she squirmed to try and get closer and intensify the curling flickers of pleasure that unfurled like petals of a flower. With each flicker of his tongue, Kade probed deeper until he was rubbing Thalia's inner walls, driving her mad. She cried out, gasping and moaning when the beta's thumb applied pressure to Thalia's clit rubbing it in time with his tongue.

Thalia wasn't quiet in the throes of her passion. Her fingers curled and tore into the sheets on the bed as every muscle tensed and trembled with her building climax. She held no shame as her hips rolled into Kade's mouth chasing that sweet release which was so close, so very close…
