The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 84

“Are you exhausted? I feel exhausted.”

“I’m exhausted. How’s Leah?”

“They’re probably going to keep her overnight. She rejected her mate who is at our borders requesting entrance to our pack.”

“Entrance?” she asks, catching the same word I did.

“Yes, and his entrance was denied.”

“Good.”

“How’s Brooklyn?” I ask.

“Not good. Dr. Felicity said she’ll be in surgery for hours stitching her up, but she’ll mind link us when she’s out of surgery and let us know how it went.”

“Do we need to take care of our guests?”

“Nope, it’s all handled,” she says, putting her arm through mine and leading me out the door. “Want to hear something interesting?”

“Yes,” I say, smiling down at my mate who is somehow pushing my black cloud of anger away.

er face falls. “Why not?”

Because if Alpha Kayce plans to mark her privately, he can’t show up to the Committee meeting with a mark on his neck and unlike that fuckhead Owen, he wouldn’t mark Allison without letting her mark him as well. But,” I say as we get to the packhouse and start climbing the stairs to our room. “I would expect her to have quite a few hickeys on her neck and several on and around her marking spot.”

That brings the smile back to my mate’s pretty face.

“I’ll take it, it’s still a win.”

“A big win!” I say, opening the door and letting Sophie walk into our room ahead of me.

Sophie strips off her dress, tossing it aside and turning to me. She’s wearing a lace bra, lace panties and high heels.

“You know, suddenly, I’m not so tired after all,” I say. Thankfully neither is my mate.

something to get our minds off of Brooklyn. Hunter especially was struggling with his frustration at not being able to protect one of his previous, vulnerable pack members. So, I did what any good mate would do, I chose a position that put him in control.

Only, that’s not exactly how it played out. Hunter desperately needed a shower so after he washed off Brooklyn’s blood and her scent no longer lingered on him, I chose our first position to be in the shower. However, rather than facing the shower wall, I wanted to see him. I wrapped my legs around him and while he still had me pressed against the wall, his arms were wrapped about me and he kissed me, holding me close, until he brought both of us to our release.

He had put his forehead against mine as both of us were panting. “I need you again.”

“Bed,” I said.

We’d quickly dried and then I told him I wanted to be on top. I had planned on trying the reverse cowgirl again tonight, that was fun, but I needed the connection to my mate, and I could feel through the bond that he needed it too.

When I straddled him, he sat up, wrapping my legs around him again. We had kissed as our bodies held each other, his hands helping me to lift my hips up and down until we both came undone together.

“Again,” he said.

And it had gone on like that for hours. We switched positions, but we never weren’t wrapped around each other, holding each other, connecting every part of our bodies as moved slow, fast, gentle, rough,
