He closed the distance between them, and then his lips were on hers, and fire erupted all around her. She couldn’t make it stop, nor did she want to. All she craved was his lips on hers, and for him to not stop.

It was like an obsession. She had her hands on his arms, and she moved them around, going down his back, and then toward his ass, but she stopped herself.

Joe gave a little growl. “You can grab my ass all day long,” he said. He took hold of her arms and made it so they moved down to hold his ass. “Because I’m going to hold you, and I hope you don’t have a problem with that.”

His hands went straight to her ass, and she couldn’t help but moan. It felt so good having him touch her. She didn’t want him to stop, even for a second. The hard ridge of his cock pressed against her stomach, and she tilted her head back to look at him.

“You’re beautiful, you know that?” he asked.

She shook her head. “I … no, I didn’t.”

“I bet you don’t even know how many times I thought about you, do you?”

“You thought about me?”

“All the time. I wondered if you were mated, if you had found someone, but then I would think about you waiting for me. I had no idea it was because you were my mate.”

“I had no idea,” she said.

He chuckled. “Even while I was growing up.”

“What?”

“Yeah, you were the woman I fantasized about,” he said.

“You’ve got to be making this up. There’s no way any of this is true.”

Joe smiled. “I’ve got no reason to lie, and I’m not lying now. I’m telling you the truth. I’d never lie to you, Darcy.”

She saw the sincerity in his eyes, the kindness, and she just knew he was speaking the truth.

“I’ll never lie to you,” she said.

“Did you think about me?” Joe asked.

Darcy groaned. “Please, don’t make me feel bad.”

He started to laugh.

“Come on, you’re younger than me, and I never thought about you in that way. When I saw you, I hoped you were happy. You were always so polite and sweet, and I only wanted the best for you.” She sighed. “When you did turn of age and you went through your transition, I wondered how you were handling it.”

“You did?”

“Yeah, of course. I’ve been through it myself and trust me, it sucked. Big time.”

“Yeah, it sucked,” he said.

“How was it for you? I mean, apart from sucking.”

“It was awful,” Joe said. “It was so bad that I didn’t want to turn again.”

She cupped his face. “It’s like that for everyone.”

He shook his head. “No, it’s not. My friends, Ryan and Wade, didn’t feel any pain.”

Darcy frowned. “What?”

“They said it was the best feeling in the world, and they couldn’t wait to do it again.”
