Chapter 25: Chapter 31: Sex in the Woods

Axel

I run back home as fast as I can. I grab a blanket and toss it into the backseat of my car before I speed to Liana's cottage.

Today's conversation with my parents was a wake-up call. They want me to marry and in a moment of anger, I agreed to something that I should not have. I only wanted them to get off my back and spoke too soon.

And they will hold me to that. I need to get through to Liana. I need her to let go of Wyatt and accept me as her mate. And I need to do it fast.

"Are you ready?" I shout as I walk through the front door.

"Yes," she replies as she takes her bag and walks to me. "But it has hardly been ten minutes, let alone twenty."

"Good, you can read time," I tease her before I take her hand and drag her to my car.

"What the hell has gotten into you?" She laughs as I open the door for her.

"Sheer brilliance," I quickly kiss her on the lips before I close the door and get into the driver's seat.
