Jane

I’m relieved to finally be back on the ship, speeding towards the Southern Isles as fast as the powerful Ocean currents can take us. My stomach – on the other hand- is less than amused. Our time on land was no reprieve, and the moment we returned to the relentless swaying of the sea, I became as sick as before.

Despite my continued protests, Ethan put his foot down and insisted the medic administer her drugs. I was in tears before it was over, but Ethan held me as I cried myself to sleep, murmuring sweet nothings in my ear and promising it was better this way.

As soon as the soothing embrace of slumber took hold, I disappeared into the fog of my dreams, my tormented subconscious dragging me many years into the past- to a time when things were so much simpler.

After almost a year of marriage, Ethan and I had become finely attuned to the warning signs of an oncoming heat – from my heightened lib!do and variable moods, to the strange compulsion to nest – cleaning and organizing our home with near obsessive detail. Still, there was always a margin of error within a few hours of the haze taking hold of my body.

Sometimes, when we were lucky, it came later than expected and Ethan was already by my side, all his responsibilities delegated for the duration of the cycle.

Other times, like today, my heat arrived early, which meant I was doomed to suffer until Ethan could tie up all the loose ends of his job.

He texted me about ten minutes ago, informing me he had finally escaped the office and was on his way home, and by the time he arrived I was almost mad with need. Beta guards were posted outside our apartment door, but Ethan banished them as soon as he stalked in, already unbuttoning his shirt as I faced forward and threw myself into his arms.

“There’s my insatiable little mate.”Ethan greeted me, kissing me deeply and breathing in my out of control pheromones. I clung to his front, my arms and legs wrapped around his powerful body as I tried to power through the excruciating pain in my belly.

“What took you so long?”I whined, rocking my h!ps against his hardness.

“Am sorry, baby.” He professed, “I got away as quickly as l could.” His strong hands are all but ripping the clothes from my body while he nuzzles and nibbles the curve of my neck, his tongue laving my skin as his wolf rises to the surface. “The real question is, why are you still dressed?”

“You weren’t here!”I sulked, fumbling with his belt.

“Oh my poor, neglected Luna.” Ethan crooned, laying me out on the dining room table and raking his searing gaze over my exposed flesh as he removed therest of his clothes.
