Once rejected, twice shy Chapter Nineteen
Reese’s POVJulian’s face told Reese everything she needed to know with regards to her looks. His eyes had widened and then he’d smiled when the front door slid open and she stepped out into the foyer.“I’ll take that as a sign that I look decent enough,” Reese said.“More than decent. You look really beautiful, Luna.”Reese smiled then, a genuine smile as they walked into the elevator with her arm in Julian’s arm. Her father was waiting for them in the foyer on the ground floor and he smiled broadly when he saw her for the first time.His eyes filled with tears as he kissed her cheek and tucked her arm into his. “You look magnificent, just like I knew you would. You are a special woman, Reese, and I know that the life you build for yourself here with Troy, will be filled with happiness, adventure and eventually love. I trust that he will care for you.”Reese didn’t say anything, she didn’t want to spoil the mood and upset her father. She didn’t know what her future had in store for h

Reese’s POVThey drove to the edge of Troy’s territory and the town’s docks. Troy transferred their luggage and then opened her door. He carried her to the boat and Reese had to laugh at his antics. She was still wearing her wedding dress and the sun had just set.“Where are we going?” Reese asked as they settled in the boat.“We’re going to Saxon Island. It’s borders are protected by magic and can’t be located without the rune,” Troy said and patted his pocket.He started the boat and eased them out of the docks and into the open water of another larger lake that bordered no man’s land. Their trip took twenty minutes and Reese gasped as they crossed an invisible border and the island appeared out of the blue.Her hair whipped about her face but Reese smiled. She could see the dock and about a hundred yards inland was a beach style house nestled in the groves of trees. It was spectacularly beautiful and she felt relaxed instantly. A week of bliss.What the fuck? Where had that thought

Troy’s POVTroy woke up to the chirping of birds and soft sunlight creeping over the furniture. It still felt early but he’d never had better sleep. His hand moved across the bed and he turned his head to find it empty and Reese nowhere in sight.He would have believed the previous night was a dream if it wasn’t for the ripped wedding dress on the floor or the buttons from his shirt he’d stepped on. Troy walked to the bathroom naked and stood in front of the mirror. His hand went to the bite mark and he smiled.He showered and pulled a pair of shorts on before heading down the hall to the kitchen where he could hear music and smell coffee and bacon. He leaned against the wall and watched Reese in front of the stove wearing a short sundress.Reese lifted her head and Troy smiled again as he walked towards her and planted a kiss on her shoulder and wrapped his arms around her waist. “The coffee smells great.”“Coffee it is,” Reese said with a smile and turned around in his arms.Troy lo

Reese’s POVTroy took his sneakers off outside the front door and they dripped water all the way to the bedroom. Troy put her down in front of the shower and leaned inside to switch the water on. His wet clothes landed on the floor and Reese didn’t wait for an invitation as she pulled her wet dress over her head.A new hunger for Troy started between her thighs as he stepped underneath the spray and held his hand out towards her. Her nipples pebbled and she could see the hunger reflected in his own eyes as he pulled her against him.Steam rose around them and she could feel Troy’s heart beating underneath her palm. She couldn’t get enough of this man and within seconds her back was against the wall and Troy was thrusting inside her again.She clung to him for dear life as her orgasm rampaged through her and his ragged breaths filled her ears. If not for fast healing, she wouldn’t be able to walk the next day. Troy pulled out of her and he lowered her so she could stand on her own two

Reese’s POVThe week sped by and they’d gone back to the waterfall three more times. They’d explored the island and hiked through the forest, ran in their wolf forms and spent the majority of the time attached in some way. They didn't talk a lot, sex always somehow seemed more important than talking.Their suitcases had been packed and Reese felt a sense of dread overcome her. She didn’t want to go back to reality, to the real world. The island had been fun, quiet, safe and she had literal stars in her eyes. She'd loved every moment of their time together.They walked down the jetty, hand in hand, and Troy helped her onto the boat. He’d taken their luggage earlier and she looked back at the house. “We’ll come back.”“We better.”Troy grinned then as he pulled her closer and kissed her. It was a kiss that spoke of coming passion and heat, his tongue dueling with hers gave her goosebumps and heat started building in her lower abdomen. She was breathless by the time he broke the kiss off

Troy’s POVTroy stood looking at the closed elevator doors and his hands balled into fists. What the fuck had she meant by his mate? He’d realized their predicament the moment they’d left the barrier of that island. The rune Drake had given him had acted on his own wishes.He’d wanted to spend time with her, get to know her and fuck her. He’d wanted to fuck her again since that day he’d stood on her porch. The magic of the island did that, it brought forth inner desires and left no room for anything else.That only meant that Reese had wanted to try as well. If she hadn’t, she wouldn’t have responded to his touch like she had. They had chemistry, intense chemistry, but something had flipped the switch in her mind.Troy walked back into his quarters and grabbed their suitcases. He froze in the doorway of the master suite and closed his eyes. Amber’s scent swirled in the room and he inhaled deeply. It had been six years since her smell had enveloped him. It sent goosebumps rising all ov

Reese’s POVJulian had left the pack borders and driven to another town nearby. Reese had been staring out of the window and wasn’t paying attention to their surroundings. When Julian parked the car in front of a dodgy looking place, she raised her brow.“I know it looks dodgy, but it’s not, I swear,” Julian said with a smile.The inside of the bar was gloomy after the bright sunshine on the outside but lively music was playing, a large television showed sports reruns and the bar was half filled with patrons. It was noon and Reese was surprised at how many people there were.“What do you want to drink?” Julian asked her as they sat down at the bar. It seemed clean enough and at least the bartender was a hottie. He wasn’t a patch on Troy, but he’d do as eye candy for the afternoon.“Rum and Coke.”Four shot glasses appeared in front of her and Julian grinned. “We’re already in trouble, might as well go big now before we’re hauled back to the big house.”“How are we in trouble?” Reese l

Troy’s POVTroy’s fists clenched in front of him as Reese walked out of his office. She’d felt it, of course she’d felt it. They’d marked each other. He was pissed off that she’d kissed Drake but he was also incredibly turned on.He’d deserved it but fuck him if he liked the idea that Drake’s mouth had been on hers. She was his, only his and fuck anyone that thought they could take her from him. It wasn’t just the fact that they’d marked each other.He’d been in love with her even before the wedding. She was sensual and sexy, seemingly innocent but wild as well. She wasn’t vain or shallow and her touch had the ability to leave him breathless, brain dead and numb like an idiot.“Troy,” Drake began.“Don’t ever mention this, don’t even think of it and if you fucking masturbate to the thought of her kissing you, I’ll kill you,” Troy said as his eyes flashed darker.Drake barked out a laugh and shook his head. “If she dumps you, can I have her?”“Drake.” Troy’s voice had taken on a danger
