The last night of the trip is here. We spent all day outside and returned to our rooms early night so we could wake up tomorrow on time for our early departure.

I finish helping Jenny pack her things. From all the shopping she did, she has twice more stuff than what she came here with to pack.

Returning to my room, I take a quick shower before packing my own bags and turning in for the night on the bed.

Not long after I lie down, I hear my room door open. I don't have to wonder who could that be. Only he does that. After the first time he came to my room, I found out he has a master key to the resort rooms. The manager gave it to him. After all Leon is the owner of the resort.

Turns out, this beach resort belongs to the family of the Red Peak's Alpha.

The bed dips as he lies down beside me.

I know better than to ask him to leave, so I continue to fall asleep on my side of the bed.

However, all of the sleepiness goes out the window the instant I feel his arm wrapping my waist.

"What are you doing? Take your hand off me."

"What?" he asks like an innocent child.

"Where do you think you're touching?" I ask him as his hand moves up from my waist and grabs my breasts.

"Your breasts are soft," he mutters more to himself than to me. Then again, he really wouldn't need to inform that to me because, like all girls, I know breasts are soft.

I lightly slap his hand and say, "You're very perverted, you know."

He buries his face into the crevice between my neck and shoulder. "Thank you."

"Since when being called a pervert is a compliment?"

"It is one for the guys if the person telling them that is their girl," he says as he plants a gentle kiss on my neck.

I hold back a moan threatening to slip out of my mouth as I continue to feel his lips on my skin.

He can touch my body all he wants. It's for him to explore anyway. But if we start a make out session now, I don't have the confidence that either of us will be able to stop. We've had too many close calls by now. Our luck is bound to run out one day or another.

Leon seems to sense my uneasiness and says, "Don't worry. This is as far as I'll go."

I breathe out a relieved sigh as his other hand lightly strokes my hair.

"But I also want to give in, you know," he says. "There are days when I just want to forget about everything else. Forget that I'm the Alpha of my pack. Forget that you're a witch. And forget every other insignificant thing in my life and just pay attention to you. You only."

With another kiss on my neck he continues, "Every day, every night, I want to touch you. Anytime, anywhere, for however long I want, I want to have sex with you. Without worrying about marking you, I want to fuck you bad."

I swallow, moistening my dry throat.

"There's nothing I love more than you, Cassandra, and at moments I want to show you that, without my responsibilities to my pack getting in my way. And one day, I will. One day, I'll make love to you without anything holding me back."

I turn towards his voice and say, "And I'll accept you without anything holding me back. I want you as much as you want me."

I feel his smirk on the skin of my neck. "Trust me, that's not possible." He moves closer to me and I feel his body heat and his turn on between his legs.

He says, "I'm like this even when I'm on inhibitors. How do you think I'll be when my wolf can't be controlled?"

"Inhibitors?" I ask.

"It's what male werewolves take to tame their wolves when they are near their mates. Remember how you felt during your heat?"

I nod. How can I forget? Every second he wasn't touching me made me feel like I was dying.

Leon says, "Imagine that and make it ten times worse. That's how guys feel when it comes to their mates, every day. That's why we regularly take inhibitors so we don't hurt our mates."

"I didn't knew that," I tell him.

He laughs a little. "You don't know a lot of things about werewolves. Shouldn't your knowledge on werewolves be better than this considering you'll be my Luna one day?"

It's the first time someone had referred me by that title, and that someone is because of who I'll get that title in the first place. So I can't help but smile.

"What about you then?" I ask him, trying to turn the table. "How well you know about the witches?"
