Tatiana was aroused like crazy from their previous make-out session, but she knew that this was not the place. Other than doctors, there are nurses and guards, as much as she was carried away by the mood a minute ago, after this interruption by Doctor Travis, Tatiana didn't want to go further with all the audience.
"How about we go to the packhouse?", Tatiana asked Maddox.
Maddox's eyes lit up. Should they go to the packhouse? Yes, yes! No! Wait! What if she changes her mind until they reach there?
He really didn't want Tatiana to change her mind, but the mood was ruined already, and he couldn't say any of those because she won't like hearing how horny he was.
How could she miss his internal struggle?
"Max…", Tatiana called softly. "You need to stop overthinking things."
Maddox's brows came together in a frown. "When I didn't think, things didn't turn well."
Tatiana agreed, but she had another point. "That's because others were interfering. I believe that when it's just the two of us, and we do what our instincts are telling us, things are going rather well. And right now…" She licked her lips and gave him a meaningful look. "My instincts are telling me to find privacy. Somewhere we won't be disturbed. Just the two of us."
Tatiana thought that he will respond, but Maddox was lost in a daze while staring into her eyes.
She could feel the inexplicable energy rippling from him, and her smile fell. It was feral and unrestrained, and she felt power and danger. "Max? What's going on?"
His fangs were elongating as his wolf wanted to claim his mate. Maddox was never so close to losing control and giving in to the urges that his wolf amplified.
"Tanya… I really want to claim you as mine."
Tatiana's breath hitched. She knew that he was talking about more than just carnal pleasures. He was talking about marking as well.
The marking will bind their souls forever as one, and it will intertwine their destinies. At least that's what the legends say. It included his fangs sinking into her flesh and him releasing his venom into her system, and after all was done, his mark would appear on her neck, and it will stay there forever.
Was she ready for it? They met that same day!
Tatiana didn't know much about Alpha Maddox River. He was stubborn and strong and lusty and inexplicably handsome, but she was aware that she couldn't see her future without him in it. His flavors of coffee were rich and smooth with just the right amount of spice, and she wanted that coffee to be hers and only hers until the end of time.
"Not here.", she said. "Let's go to the packhouse."
Maddox's heart thundered against his chest. She didn't say no.
Maddox scrambled off the bed and extended his arm toward Tatiana. "Let's go." He didn't want to delay it, not even for a minute.
Tatiana's eyes were stuck to the huge erection that was stretching his swimming trunks.
Maddox cleared his throat awkwardly and blocked her view with his free hand. "Sorry about that. You were right. I am a caveman."
Tatiana scooted off the bed and put her hand into Maddox's that was still extended for her to take.
"You are. My caveman."
Maddox felt like his soul was about to leave his body. She just claimed him as hers!
He would say something nice, but her bikini top was still pushed up and he ended up staring stupidly at her breasts. Those were wonderful breasts. He really wanted to suck on them.
Tatiana rolled her eyes and adjusted her bikini. Did he drool a little?
When she assessed herself as presentable, Tatiana said, "Let's go."
"AAAH!", she screamed when Maddox scooped her in his arms and he rushed through the pack hospital, over the parking lot, into the forest… straight toward the packhouse.
For the ones who didn't know what was going on, they would imagine that some serious emergency was going on. Why else would an Alpha run like a madman with a woman in his arms?
Tatiana's arms were around Maddox's neck and she rested her head on his shoulder. Even with all the running, his upper body was unusually steady and she had a pleasant ride.
She was taking deep breaths to inhale the addictive scent of coffee, the one she will never get bored of, and she loved how he carried her with ease like she weighs nothing.
Tatiana knew that they have a lot to talk about. Both of them were grownups with many responsibilities, but she decided to leave all that for later.
Today she found her mate, and that was a big deal. Her instincts told her that the priority was for them to give in to their urges to get closer and seal the bond, and everything else will need to wait.
Maddox climbed onto the second floor of the packhouse two steps at a time, and he was happy that they didn't bump into anyone because he was NOT in a mood to chat. There was only one thing on his mind, and it included ravishing the Goddess that was in his arms.
"STOP!", Tatiana shouted when he took a right turn on the second floor.
Maddox froze in place. Now what? Did she change her mind already?
Damn it! He was running from the pack hospital to here, but it seems he was not fast enough.
"My room.", Tatiana said, and his lips stretched into a grin.
At that point, he just knew it. They will have sex, and it will come with an exorbitant amount of earth-shattering orgasms!
But first thing first… "Which one is your room?"
Tatiana giggled. "Third door on the right."
Maddox closed the door with a kick and walked straight toward the bed.
Tatiana's smile widened as he lowered her on the silky comforter and before he could climb on the bed next to her, she placed a hand on his chest.
"Wait.", she said. "I want to see you."
Maddox straightened up and realized that Tatiana's index finger was pointing at his swim trunks and that small movement downward indicated that he should remove them.
Well, Maddox was never shy to get naked, so that stretchy piece of fabric was on the floor within a second.
Tatiana's eyes widened as she took in his naked form.
Everywhere she looked there were muscles, like a statue of a Greek God that came alive except for one part. Those statues have small cocks, and Maddox's size was impressive.
Her heart rate increased. This exquisite specimen was her mate. Isn't she a lucky woman?
Maddox noticed Tatiana's gaze, and he puffed his chest arrogantly. It was obvious that his mate was admiring his physique and he couldn't wait to introduce her to endless pleasures his body can provide.
Tatiana's index finger rotated, and Maddox turned around to show her the view of his muscular back and perfect ass.
Like a real model, Maddox lifted his arms, demonstrating the majestic way his muscles rippled as he moved.
He knew that Tatiana was observing every inch of his body, and he could feel that she approved.
