Deanna\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
Luis\u2019s face was so close I could feel his breath. He wore a smile. His clear eyes reflected me back like a mirror.<\/p>\n
His stare made my heart beat faster.<\/p>\n
I turned my head away and scoffed, \u201cHow could I punish someone as noble as you?\u201d The words came out half\u2013joke, half\u2013defense.<\/p>\n
I felt his lips brush my cheek.<\/p>\n
My earlobe was gently nipped. \u201cIf you won\u2019t punish me,\u201d he murmured, \u201cthen I\u2019ll punish myself. Make me run you a bath tonight. Make me keep your bed warm and mate with you tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n
I was speechless.<\/p>\n
That was not punishment. He was taking advantage of me in every possible way.<\/p>\n
fell right into his trap again. Angry and embarrassed, I jabbed his chest and turned my head so I wouldn\u2019t look at him.<\/p>\n
Luis didn\u2019t let go. Instead, he reached out and tucked a stray curl behind my ear with two fingers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat were you thinking about?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n
I pressed my lips together. My fingers gripped the sheet without meaning to.<\/p>\n
I had drifted off because I heard his voice on the radio earlier. He said that woman was someone he liked.<\/p>\n
I should have expected it. Luis was the kind of free\u2013spirited, carefree man who wouldn\u2019t normally leave an old photo on his desk.<\/p>\n
Still, knowing it and feeling it are different things. My heart went messy on its own.<\/p>\n
The change scared me a little.<\/p>\n
I was afraid of falling for another werewolf again\u2013of losing control and getting hurt all over.<\/p>\n
Maybe Violet was right. Maybe it\u2019s better to keep things casual: just romance, no feelings. That felt easier.<\/p>\n
But when I looked up at him, it was hard not to be pulled in.<\/p>\n
He was charming.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was going to give you a gift today,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n
His eyes lit up. \u201cWhy now? Why a gift?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMuses is opening a shop in my mall,\u201d I muttered. \u201cI just got promoted to director. I wanted to thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis tightened his arm and pulled me fully into his chest. My head pressed against his chest. \u201cMs. Wiley, you\u2019re amazing,\u201d he murmured.<\/p>\n
His embrace was warm and safe. I even smelled the faint pine scent of his cologne\u2013and his pheromones under it.<\/p>\n

For a moment I thought, maybe tonight I\u2019ll let myself get lost in his warmth a little.<\/p>\n
+70 frer Cok<\/p>\n
Trested my head against his chest and heard his steady heartbeat. Thump, thump It was like a drum, stowly syncing with my Divn<\/p>\n
All of a sudden, I wanted to tell him the things I had never told anyone.<\/p>\n
\u201cLuis, I wasn\u2019t always this ambitious,\u201d I whispered.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou probably know I was only brought back to the pack a few years ago. My foster mother wasn\u2019t good to me. I thought once i returned, all that pain would finally be healed.\u201d<\/p>\n
I tried to smile, but it came out bitter.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut the truth is, my pack had no place for me anymore. So I had to carve out one of my own.\u201d<\/p>\n
His arm around my waist tightened. His deep voice rumbled in my ear. \u201cThen, Ms. Wiley, why don\u2019t you find your place with me?\u201d<\/p>\n
He caught my hand and pressed it against his chest, holding my gaze as if daring me to look away.<\/p>\n
My palm rested against his warm skin, and I could feel the strong pulse beneath, clearer than before.<\/p>\n
gave his chest a playful slap.<\/p>\n
\u201cA man\u2019s heart is like glass. If I go in, won\u2019t I just get cut by the shards?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh?\u201d His fingers tilted my chin, his voice deep and tempting. \u201cHow would you know if you don\u2019t try?\u201d<\/p>\n
My heart skipped a beat.<\/p>\n
\u201cUgh, you interrupted me. Guys like you, born at the top, with everything handed to you\u2013you could never understand what my life has been like.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis had been raised with the best education and the finest resources.<\/p>\n
Pure\u2013blood future Alpha of families like the Mooncrown Pack were molded with wealth to be ruthless, cold, and sharp.<\/p>\n
But then, his voice slid over me again, deep and magnetic.<\/p>\n
\u201cMate with me, and I\u2019ll give you the entire Mistbane Pack. What do you say?\u201d<\/p>\n
I froze, my mind blank.<\/p>\n
He said it as if he were offering me a piece of jewelry.<\/p>\n
I knew. Maybe it was nothing for him.<\/p>\n
But to me, it wasn\u2019t the Pack that made my chest ache. It was the raw, unguarded way he cared enough to say it.<\/p>\n
For the first time, I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulled his head down, and kissed him hard on the lips.<\/p>\n
