I peeked up at his honey eyes. “Okay then.”
A smile ghosted his lips which only served to increase the heat in my face by one hundred-fold.
As the tension mounted, he began to shake.
“Are you alright?”
Sascha grimaced. “Just the mating call. Nothing to worry about, little bird.”
Oh. Right.“Guess we should do the kissing meet sometime…”
I watched the black edging in around his honey irises.
“Guess we should.” The corner of his mouth lifted.
My stomach sank. “Unless, maybe it would be better after the new moon? Would that affect anything?”
He searched my face, and I scented his slight confusion. “We can wait until after. It’s not far away. If you prefer?”
I cleared my throat. We’d gone this long. What was another few days? “Sure. Sounds good. I’ll see you then?”
Sascha grabbed my hand and flipped it, resting a gentle kiss on the back. He lingered before straightening, and when his eyes met mine, I sucked in a breath at the curious warmth filling my chest.
Blinking, I drew my hand from his and spun on my heel, resisting the urge to smile like a foolandthe urge to pull the bottom hem of my T-shirt down to cover my half-exposed ass.
My wolf snorted.I thought we weren’t meant to show our butthole as a reward.

I rolled over and smacked my nose into a wall of muscle. “Jesus.”
“Nope. Just me, baby girl.”
I located my ringing phone, scowling at the blurry name illuminated there.
Gasping, I sat in a tangle of sheets. “Roy. Hi.”
“Sorry for the early call on a Sunday, Andie. Just wanted to touch base and make sure everything was done on your end.”
Oh my god.The house sale. Thank fuck for lawyers. They’d sent through the final papers at some point. I remembered signing. “Let me just check.”
Placing him on speaker, I logged into my online banking.
Please, please, please.
My heart leaped into my mouth.
$0.00
Zero dollars. I’d never been happier to see that figure in my life.
I was out of debt—well, I owed the tribe five thousand, but that would be paid in a matter of months. There were my student loans, too, but they were interest free for another year and a half.
“Everything is in order on my end.” I could hardly believe the words. “You received the keys?”
Roy messaged when they viewed the storage shed, but I forgot to respond.
“Sure did. Congratulations, Andie. I’m very happy for you.”
