“Yes. I come from a large family. The guys outside are friends and family.”
“I don’t think they liked me.”
Liam pulled her into his arms. “They adore you. They just don’t know how to act yet. They will. I promise.” He leaned down, kissing her lips.
He took her on the tour of the ground floor, showing her the sitting room, library, and his office. There was also a games room with a pool table. It was like he didn’t have to leave the house as he had everything at his fingertips.
To Rebecca, this was sheer heaven.
She loved it, right down to how secluded it was from the world. When he took her upstairs, the bedrooms were also beautiful.
“They kept it clean then.”
She giggled at his sigh. “You were worried?”
“They were all staying with me, along with their women. It has seemed a little full at times.”
This made her laugh.
“What do you think of the place?”
“What do I think? It’s perfect. I don’t even know how anyone could hate it, or even be upset by it. I think it’s amazing. So beautiful. I bet you get a lot of peace out here, don’t you?”
“I do. It’s nice. We also get a lot of travelers and hunters that can be a pain.”
“Is that because of the wolves?”
“What do you know about the wolves?” he asked.
“Not a lot. I know they’ve been known to attack tourists and travelers.”
“You still like them?”
“Of course. I haven’t really met one before though,” she teased. “I don’t imagine I ever will. You know, the whole snarling and wanting to kill being a bit of a turn off.”
“I bet there are a lot of wolves that would love you,” he said, pulling her close. They were on the upper landing leading to the wooden stairs.
She smiled. “You know how to say all the right words, Liam.” She pressed her hands to his chest and went on her tiptoes to kiss him. “And I for one love that.”
Someone cleared their throat.
“It would seem my friends have decided to be normal and now want to introduce themselves.”
She giggled again. Whenever she was around him she felt so relaxed to be herself. “We could ignore them if you’d like. I don’t mind doing what you want to do,” she said.
The bedroom was calling her. His bedroom.
He groaned. “That’s really tempting.”
She ran her hand down his chest, loving his moan as she cupped his dick.
“You do know we can hear you, right?” one of them said.
Liam sighed. “Their timing is the worst thing in the world.”
“That it is.” She withdrew her hand. “I guess we should go and see them.”
He gripped her ass and claimed her lips once again. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she felt alive in his touch. Like he’d finally awakened a part of her that had been dormant all of her life. This was supposed to be. The two of them together.
