“Regis?” Eileen’s voice came from very far away, even though she was standing right in front of me. “Are you… are you drunk?”

I blinked at her, trying to bring her face into focus. She looked beautiful in the low lamplight, her dark hair falling loose around her shoulders, her amber eyes wide with something between concern and disbelief. “I only had one glass, I managed, which came out slightly

slurred. “Maybe two.”

“You had one and a half glasses of wine.” She stepped closer, peering up at me with that particular expression she got when she was trying not to laugh at me. “I didn’t know your tolerance was this bad.”

“It’s not bad, I protested, reaching for her because she was right there and she smelled like wildflowers and home and everything good in the world. “I’m a very capable Alpha.”

“A very capable Alpha who can’t handle wine,” she murmured, but she was smiling now, her hands coming up to steady me when I swayed slightly. “Come on, let’s get you to bed before you embarrass yourself further.”

But I didn’t want to go to bed. I wanted to stay exactly where I was, with Eileen warm and solid in my arms, her heartbeat thrumming against my chest in perfect sync with my own. The bond between us felt wider somehow, more open, and through it I could feel everything–her amusement and affection, yes, but also that nagging thread of worry that had been there all evening.

“You’re elsewhere,” I said against her hair, tightening my hold when she tried to pull back. “I want you to focus on me.”

“I- She paused, clearly surprised I’d picked up on it. “I just want to say goodnight to Nina first.”

“Later, I heard myself say, which was selfish and I knew it, but the wolf in me had decided that Eileen wasn’t going anywhere until I’d thoroughly reminded her who she belonged to. “Stay with me for a while. Please.”

I felt her soften against me, her worry giving way to warm exasperation. “You’re not usually this clingy.”

“I’m not clingy. I was absolutely being clingy. My hands had somehow found their way into her hair, and I was nuzzling against her throat where her scent was strongest, breathing in the chamomile and apple–sweetness that meant mine, mate, home. I’m being

affectionate.”

“Regis-

I kissed her to stop whatever sensible argument she was about to make, and after a moment’s token resistance she melted into it with a sigh that went straight through me like lightning. The room spun pleasantly when I lifted her, and she made a sound that might have been protest or laughter–I wasn’t sure which and didn’t particularly care, because she was hooking her legs around my waist and kissing me back with the kind of heat that made rational thought impossible.

“Just for a little while, she murmured against my mouth when we came up for air. “Then I really should-‘

“Just a little while,” I agreed, which was a lie because I already knew I wasn’t letting her go anywhere tonight, but she was smiling and

her hands were in my hair and nothing else mattered except this: my mate, safe and warm and mine, while moonlight spilled through the windows and painted everything silver.

I lay her down on the bed and followed her into the softness of blankets and skin.

Tonight. for just a few stolen hours, there was only this: Eileen’s breath catching as I traced the curve of her hip, the bond between us

blazing bright and true, the absolute certainty that whatever storm was coming after these days–we’d face it together.

I pressed my lips to her mate mark and felt her shiver, felt the answering pull in my chest that said yours, always yours, and let the world

narrow to just this room, just this moment, just us.

Tomorrow.

We’d deal with everything tomorrow.
