Chapter Eleven: Wants and Needs

Travis’ hands moved to my waist and I was glad that I had taken my shirt off earlier. The way his fingers dug into the muscles of my torso, touching my bare skin like he was desperate for me, made me ache for him.

I needed him, not having Tillie around was like torture. If I gave in to what my wolf wanted, she wouldn’t be getting the space that she needed to sort through her feelings. I was glad that I had Travis. That he would let me pour these feelings into him, this need.

Our mate needed time to deal with everything that she was feeling, they were real things. She had just learned about shifters. That her ex-boyfriend was a shifter. That her best friend was a shifter and that had to be hard to hear. I could only imagine how I would feel if my entire world had been flipped upside down in less than twenty-four hours.

Those were both people that she trusted and hoped that with time she would be able to forgive Charity. I didn’t know how I felt about Jake and her being friendly with each other. The thought didn’t give me the warm and fuzzy feelings. If she wanted to be friends with him, I would learn to deal with my feelings towards him. He wasn’t her mate and I very much doubted that he would hurt his own mate by trying something with Tillie.

It just filled me with a dark feeling, thinking about him touching her the way that we touched her. I knew that I needed to get over these feelings. They weren’t healthy and my jealousy would only drive her further away. I couldn’t add to her stress with that.

We had already put so much on to her that she had not been prepared for. She didn’t need to deal with how territorial wolves could be over their mates. My poor mate was already overwhelmed and she didn’t need more to worry about.
