mean? Children are everything to our people." An irritated flash sparked in her eyes and he was happy to see that nothing kept the feisty down for long.
"It means if you don't want cubs, then we don't have cubs. I can live with that. What I can't live with is being without you, so you might as well start getting that through your head. I told you there was nothing you could say to change my mind and I meant it."
"You say that now. Tomorrow you could change your mind. And the next day after that you could hate me for it."
"God, you're stubborn. I'm in this hook, line and sinker. If you open your eyes you'll see you are too."
She started to protest and he covered her mouth with his hand. "If you start to tell me we don't know each other blah blah blah, I'm going to have to do something drastic. Don't you believe in love at first sight?"

S he wanted to believe . Like him, she'd been affected since the moment he looked at her with those ridiculous emerald eyes. Those things were panty magnets. Every time he gave her the look , it made her want to give him her panties.
Every. Friggin. Time.
Now he was counteracting every argument she came up with for why they couldn't be mates. Frankly, she was running out of excuses.
"Maybe," she said. "Do you?"
He smiled and she got the feeling she'd just lost the war.
"I hadn't thought much about it until now. Life is harsh and finding a mate hasn't been a top priority. Then you walked in and it's all I've thought about. You made me believe."
Oh wow. Her stomach fluttered at what he had to say. The man certainly had a way with words.
"What about my family? They're bound to cause more trouble."
"Wait until you meet some of mine. It might be a toss up between which ones are worse. But seriously, we'll take it one step at a time. John Hale can kiss my ass. And if the Itan here thinks for a second you are going for retraining or any other nonsense he's got another think coming. You can go home with me. I think you'll like Tennessee."
"You drive a hard bargain, Derek Joseph Greer."
A gorgeous grin crossed his face a moment before he leaned down and pressed his lips to hers. At first the kiss was soft and luxurious, but it didn't take long for him to cup the back of her neck and apply more pressure, taking her to the deep, dark well of untapped need.
Her bear stirred to life, eager for more from its mate. Not that her human half objected in any way, shape or form. A deep throaty growl rumbled up Greer's throat and she eagerly absorbed the sound. Knowing that he wanted her on such a primal level made her body tingle in all the right places.
The steady heat of Greer's body against her as well as his hands and mouth, made her realize just how much of an anchor he provided. She couldn't let go of him if she tried. In fact, he commanded her with nothing more than a hot and strong mouth. Every traitorous desire she'd had in the last twenty-four hours burst free and robbed her of reason.
There was also the matter of the hard ridge of his erection she felt through the towel not helping either. Or maybe that's exactly what that feeling did. Nearly ready to surrender to his will under the earth shattering kiss, Greer suddenly pulled back and gulped for air.
"Lily Hale. Will you be my mate?"
She groaned. "You just had to kiss me again before you said that didn't you?"
His half smile, half leer appeared again. "Hasn't anyone ever told you to never kiss a wolf? It leads you down a long, dark path of no return."
Lily wanted to come back with a quip, but her body still betrayed her from the kiss, leaving her unable to form words. Except for a final few.
"Yes, Derek Joseph Greer. I will be your mate."
He only looked at her, his green eyes now tinged with yellow from the wolf. "Lily." He hesitated until a shiver worked down her spine and she knew what he was about to say.
"Drop the towel."
His command vibrated across her skin, sending another shiver along her entire body. She liked that
