    She let out a breath. “Okay. What’s the other thing?”
    “Well, it concerns the first time we m ate .”
    Another blush rose to her cheeks. “It’s about sex?”
    “Not sex, making love. There’s a difference,” he grumbled.
    “Yes, there is.” She winked at him.
    The little minx , he thought as he chuckled. He could see now that she would keep him on his toes. He couldn’t wait.
    Shaking his head with mirth, he continued. “It was a tradition that began with the very first True Mate pair. Because the Alpha thought so highly of his m ate , he let her set the time and place of their First Mating. Now, a millennia later, that tradition has evolved into our very beings. You are my True Mate and as such you are the one who has to initiate our First Mating.”
    Those extraordinary eyes blinked. “You mean to tell me that for our First Mating, I’m in charge?”
    Taking a moment to compose himself lest the visions of that question unman him, he breathed deeply a few times. “Yes.”
    That earned him a low moan and mis-matched eyes glowing faintly with lust. “Of all the places to tell me that, it had to be on top of a big rock in the woods.”
    “Well, someone didn’t leave me much choice.” He squeezed her hands with a grin.
    “Sorry.” Her smile was sheepish. “You kind of caught me off guard.”
    “Forgiven.” He brought her hands up and kissed her knuckles again. “Now, we need to go. It’s late and you need to have a talk with your parents.”
    They climbed do wn off the boulder, making their way hand in hand to the trail and through the woods.
    “Yeah, I suppose I need to apologize to them. They were really looking forward to your visit and I go all drama queen on them and ruin it.”
    “I’m afraid it’s a lot more serious than that, sweetheart.”
    Her head popped up quickly, giving him a sharp look. “I’m probably not going to like it, am I?”
    “No, but I’ll be by your side the entire time.”
    “Promise?”
    “With everything I am.”

She couldn’t wait to begin exploring every inch of it. Her lovers had been few and far between over the years and most were human. None had looked like Roan though, not even close. O r exuded such raw sensuality. She didn’t think he would be a passive lover either, their First Mating notwithstanding. His personality said he would give as good as he got. Which was f ine by her. Her last lover had the thought that if she didn’t get off before he did, she was SOL. They hadn’t been together that long.
    It was scary really, and a little intimidating. This was the first time they had met . Yet , through the bond they shared , she could really feel it now that she knew what was going on. His emotions were clear to her. Smelling them was easy. Just because she couldn’t shift didn’t mean she wasn’t a Lupa in every other sense. But this bond they shared gave her insights that no sense of smell could ever give her. It was the main reason she ’d believed him about being True Mate s.
