“Excuse us.” I hoisted Fallon higher despite the cursing storm she spit behind my back. “It’s time to retire my princess for the night.”

“Don’t you dare start calling me princess.” Fallon growled as I dropped her on the bed. Her hair fanned out around her as she propped herself up on her elbows, distracting me as she pushed out her chest and let her knee fall open in invitation.
I shook my head. “How did you do it?”
“Do what?”
“One second everyone was talking shit. The next, they were eating out of the palm of your hand.”
“Not everyone,” she huffed.
“More than half the pack.” I started to unbutton my shirt, loving the hungry look in her eyes. “It was magic. Princess magic.”
“I’m serious.” She licked her bottom lip as I dropped my shirt to the ground. “Don’t call me that.”
“If you want me to stop, I’m going to need your passcode.”
Her fingers traced the neckline of her shirt. “Passcode? I prefer the light system for safe words. Green to keep going. Yellow means slow down. Red is–”
“Damn it, woman.” I groaned as I held my cock through my jeans with one hand and waved her phone with the other. “Your passcode.”
Her eyes narrowed. “Give that to me.”
“Are you hiding something?” I teased.
She better not be.
“It’s none of your business if I am.” A dismissive tilt of her chin had my beast growling.
“I think everything about you is my business.” I caught her by the ankle as she tried to scoot away on the bed. My thumb brushed her exposed skin as I tightened my grip, pulling her back. “You’re mine.”
The challenge that flashed in her eyes shouldn’t have excited me as much as it did. “No, you’re mine. But that doesn’t mean I have to share everything with you.”
“Doesn’t it though?” I pulled her leg higher and pressed my lips to her ankle. “Unless you want me to work to get your secrets.”
I reached down to unbutton her pants as she stared up at me from flat on her back.
“Why do you need my passcode?”
“You can tell a lot about a woman by the books she reads.” I peeled her tight pants off slowly, not breaking eye contact.
She frowned. “I’m not sharing my books with you.”
“I’ll get them out of you one way or the other, princess.” I smiled, kneeling so I could lower my face between her legs. The thought of dessert had me rock hard and nothing tasted sweeter than my mate.
“I told you not to call me princess.” She fisted her hand into my hair and growled, holding me back from my prize.“Speaking of which, did you go around threatening everyone to be nice to me?”
My forehead creased and she groaned at my confusion. “You did, didn’t you? That’s just great. Now I won’t know if I won them over or if it was because they all fear you.”
“Does it matter why?” My beast whined as Fallon kicked at my shoulder and scrambled away.
She grabbed the pants I’d just lovingly removed and shoved one foot back in. “You should know that it matters. We’re wolves. Not humans.”
Which is why I’ll always protect you…
“Don’t you dare give me those puppy eyes,” Fallon snapped as she buttoned her pants up. “If you don’t think I can handle myself as Luna then you shouldn’t have brought me here.”
