“And also you?”

“I haven’t been anyplace exterior of the US, not since earlier than I took this journey.”

He glanced at me with a stunned expression on his face. “And the way are you having fun with your time in a overseas land?”

I smiled genuinely. “My time in every nation has been unbelievable. I’ve discovered so many new issues, skilled totally different cultures I’d solely ever dreamed of.” I ignored the half about how I loved my time in Romania essentially the most… as a result of I’d met him.

Ren was by far my most satisfying cause for taking this leap in life.

And given the truth that we’d simply met yesterday, it appeared like admitting that to him now can be simply the factor to ship somebody working within the different path.

“I’m glad.” He cleared his throat once more, the wind softly blowing within the automotive nonetheless. “I’m glad you determined to return right here on your journey.”

I smiled once more, even blushed. God, what was it about this man that made me really feel so alive?

It was solely one other ten minutes driving after which Ren was pulling into his stately driveway and as much as the huge residence. I had a sense he’d taken the lengthy method to get right here, however I didn’t thoughts. And as I checked out him as he pulled the posh automotive to a cease and reduce the engine, I knew I needed to see how far issues may go together with him. I needed to expertise issues with Ren I’d solely ever fantasized about.

“We could?” he requested and checked out me.

I nodded and went to open the automotive door, however his hand on my knee stilled me. My coronary heart began racing, my respiration quickening. And all from that small contact. It was like hearth on my physique.

“Please, enable me?”

I licked my lips and nodded. This man was very old style. And I appreciated it.

He was out of the automotive and transferring across the entrance of the car, his huge physique inflicting my breath to return in brief pants. He was simply so… fearsome in look.

I spent a while with Mini at the moment earlier than Ren picked me up, and I needed to ask her about Ren, however given the language barrier, and with Andrei nonetheless within the metropolis, I used to be at a lifeless finish. However as I’d been trying towards the forest, little doubt having this faraway look in my eyes as a result of I’d positively been daydreaming about Ren, I caught her gaze on mine. She had this figuring out smile on her face as she murmured comfortable phrases in her native tongue.

He led me up the cobblestone walkway, the texture of his huge hand on my decrease again extra arousing than it in all probability ought to’ve been.

After which we have been inside, and I used to be frozen as I appeared round on the opulence, on the hand carved wooden accents, the detailing… the the whole lot.

“God, Ren…” My phrases trailed off as I walked round. A beautiful vast staircase was immediately throughout from the double entrance doorways. “It is magnificent.” The flooring was additionally hardwood, polished, and a deep, wealthy brown shade. There have been uncovered beams above, and the second story partitions confirmed the identical stone that graced the outside of the house. I took observe there have been wolf particulars all through the wooden accents, massive, violent animals with snarling jaws and aggressive stances. But they have been additionally devastatingly lovely.

He hadn’t responded, so I glanced at him and noticed his consideration was wholly on me. I swallowed at how a lot I felt that look.

“It pleases me to no finish that you simply like this residence.”

I shivered on the tone of his voice, candy and thick and being poured over me in essentially the most scrumptious of how.

“Will you give me a tour?”

His smile advised me I’d all however made his day, and when he held his arm out like a gentleman, I slipped mine by means of his and let him present me round.

And your entire time, I felt the strangest method about being right here.

I felt like I used to be residence.

I’d given my mate a correct tour of the manor—of the house I constructed for her. To know she loved it, that it happy her immensely, had delight swelling my chest. I’d taken my time displaying her as a lot as I may earlier than I felt her starvation, and my want to supply for her overrode anything.

And right here we have been, dinner completed, my mate seated throughout from me, the entire ambiance torpid in one of the best ways… in the way in which that advised me she was satiated by her meal and her environment.

And I may scent her need.
