That night, I arrived at Olivia’s luxury penthouse for dinner. The familiar scent of her home wrapped around me like a warm embrace.
Evelyn Foster had prepared a magnificent spread of venison steaks and roasted vegetables.
She’d grown accustomed to my frequent visits over the past weeks.
“Good evening, Alpha Connor,” Evelyn greeted me with a respectful bow. “Dinner will be ready
in ten minutes.”
“Thank you, Evelyn,” I replied, finding Olivia in the living room reviewing case files.
She looked up from her work, amber eyes brightening when she saw me. “You’re early
tonight.”
“Finished my meetings ahead of schedule,” I said, pulling her into my arms. “Wanted to spend
more time with my mate.”
After dinner, Evelyn tactfully disappeared to her quarters. She understood the importance of
giving mated pairs their privacy.
Olivia and I shared a long, relaxing shower together. The warm water cascaded over our
bodies as we held each other close.
Later, we lay together in the master bedroom. Silk sheets pooled around our naked forms as
moonlight streamed through the floor–to–ceiling windows.
I traced lazy patterns on Olivia’s bare shoulder, content to simply hold her. My usual
passionate urgency was notably absent tonight.
Olivia noticed my restraint immediately. She turned in my arms with a playful smile dancing on her lips.
“Why are you so patient tonight?” she teased, her fingers trailing across my chest.
My lips curved into an amused grin. “I have an important pack alliance meeting at eight tomorrow morning,”
“So?” Olivia’s eyebrow arched challengingly.

“I can’t indulge in our usual passionate mating tonight,” I explained, though my wolf protested
the decision.
Olivia retorted with mock innocence, “We could simply finish earlier and sleep.”
I pulled her closer against my chest, my Alpha voice rumbling with amusement. “Finish
earlier? You underestimate your mate, Luna.”
“Once I start claiming you, it won’t end until late, late into the night,” I murmured against her
ear.
Olivia shivered at my words, her wolf responding to my Alpha tone. She snuggled deeper into
the silk sheets.
I propped myself up on one elbow, gazing down at her with piercing ice–blue eyes. “I’m not
sleepy yet.”
Olivia’s amber eyes peeked out from under the covers. “Oh? What should we do?”
My eyes twinkled with mischief. “How about you lull me to sleep?”
Surprise flickered across her features. “Me? Lull you to sleep?”
I nodded, my expression becoming unexpectedly vulnerable. “Yes, you. I always lull you to sleep after our mating.”
“You’ve never done it for me,” I added softly.
Olivia chuckled, the sound like silver bells. “How old are you, needing a lullaby?”
I drawled, my voice taking on a dangerous edge. “If I can’t sleep, either you lull me, or…”
My dark eyes gleamed with predatory intent. “We could just exercise until we’re too
exhausted to stay awake.”
“I could sacrifice some sleep for the cause,” I finished with a wolfish grin.
Olivia was speechless, her wolf recognizing my barely restrained desire. The air between us crackled with s****1 tension.
She remained silent for a long moment, weighing her options. I could practically see the wheels turning in her brilliant mind.
It was better to lull me to sleep. Much easier than being thoroughly claimed by her mate until
dawn.
