We’ve been through a lot since then. Five children. We bought a ranch. Started our own business. Gosh, how time flies by.
Our oldest Mandy is already in college and our youngest Jacob just started high school this year. I adore my wild and crazy family. All the kids are shifters. All five of them bear shifters like their loving dad.
August is so different than when I first met him—calm and patient, but he still has that wild side lurking inside. Lucky for me, it only comes out in the bedroom.
“What will you two lovebirds have?” Kathy asks as she comes over with a grin. “The usual?”
“Sounds good to me,” August says.
“Me too.”
“A club and a roast beef dip,” Kathy calls out to the new cook, Marcus.
I’m happy to say that Lou has retired and now spends all of his time in his adorable little cabin, hunting and fishing, but mostly napping.
“I can’t believe it’s been twenty-five years,” I say when we’re alone once again.
“I’ve been obsessed with you every minute,” he says as he swallows my hand with his.
I believe it. This man takes care of my every need. He’s given me a wonderful life and I don’t even want to think about where I’d be without him.
“I’m taking you somewhere special tonight,” he says with that sexy grin that always gets my heart going. “A fancy dinner and we’re staying the night in a luxurious hotel. Just the two of us.”
“Really?” I ask, perking up. “I thought this was our anniversary date.”
“Do you really think I’d take my mate here for our anniversary? No way. I’m wining and dining you properly and then we’ll go back to our room…” He leans in close as I shiver. “And I’ll fuck your brains out.”
I feel my cheeks blush as my body hums with excitement.
Twenty-five years and this man can still make my cheeks heat up. If that’s not true love then I don’t know what is.
“Have I told you I adore you?” I ask as the anticipation builds. God, I’m already getting wet just from thinking about it.
“Not in the past hour.”
I lean over the table, letting my breasts press against our hands, and grin as I hover my lips over his. “I adore you.”
I give him a soft kiss on the lips and sit back down.
The ravenous look in his blue eyes tells me that I’m in for a hell of a good night.
I lick my lips with a grin, already counting the hours until we can get started.
“Hey, Kathy!” he calls out.
“Yeah?”
“Can we get that order to go?”
She nods. “Sure, hun!”
I smile as he turns back to me.
“Let’s check in to that hotel early,” he says with a hungry look in his sexy blue eyes. “I’m ready to get started on our anniversary night.”
I grab my roses and hurry out of the booth. “Better cancel it altogether, Kathy! We gotta run.”
She chuckles as my mate and I race out of the diner, more in love than ever.
