thought back at
her.
    It
was like being a third wheel in her own body, which was extremely irritating.
    Listen
here, Wolfie, it is my body, and I am saying NO to sex. Got it? Harper thought, giving her wolf a mental shove. Wolf
snapped back at her, but gave up control. Harper was yanked back into her own
head with a sudden lurch and was left clutching the shower walls for support as
she regained her bearings.
    Sorry, Harper apologized to Axel.
    Oh,
my dear Harper, do not be sorry , he
replied immediately.
    It
took her a few minutes to calm her racing heart, but she managed. After turning
off the shower and getting dressed, Harper tried to decide which toothbrush was
hers. With a shrug, she grabbed the nearest one and began brushing her teeth.
The mirror was foggy, but Harper was too nervous to wipe it clear to reveal her
reflection.
    She
emerged tentatively from the bathroom and was unsure of what to do next. Axel
was watching TV while lounging on the bed. Where the heck was his shirt? It
must have been a werewolf thing.
    He
looked up at her approach and gave a small smile. “Ah, back to your lovely self,
I see.”
    Harper
couldn’t tell whether or not his words were meant sarcastically, so she stayed
silent. She nervously shifted from foot to foot before saying, “Goodnight.”
    “Where
do you think you’re going?” Axel asked, sliding his eyes over her outfit.
    “I’m,
um, going to, uh.” Harper fought for words, distracted by his six-pack. Why did
her mate have to be so sexy? “Going to go to the other, uhm, bedroom! Down the
hall.”
    “Harper.”
He lowered his head and stared at her with a don’t-be-so-silly look.
    “Axel,”
Harper replied, furrowing her brows and lowering her voice to mimic him.
    He
laughed suddenly, making her grin. “Come here. No sex, I promise.”
    She
hesitated in the doorway, afraid to go to him but afraid to disobey.
    “Don’t
make me call your wolf,” he threatened, only half joking.
    Nothing
else would have made her come to him faster than that threat. She hopped on the
bed and crawled under the covers. Her back was to Axel, and not being able to see
what he was doing left chills on her arms.
    She
could stand the silence no longer. “So we’ve, you know.” She wanted to ask if
they’ve had sex, but she already knew the answer.
    Axel
chuckled. From the sound she could tell he was lying on the bed facing her.
“Yes, Harper. I would apologize, but I’m afraid the apology would be a lie.”
    “But
I swore I was going to stay a virgin until marriage,” she protested weakly.
    "That
was before I charmed you into bed."
    Harper
tried to smother her laugh. “I am such a terrible person! Well, I am going to
believe myself to be a virgin because the new me wouldn’t do that.”
    Harper
wanted to ask what their first night together was like, but she was too afraid
of the answer. Was he good in bed?
    “Goodnight,
love,” he said while she was trying to figure out the answer.
    “Goodnight,
Axel.”

Chapter
4
     
    Harper
had slept like the dead. After waking up from an amazingly restful night of rest,
she stretched luxuriously. Axel had already been up, and he had left a note on
his pillow. It read: ‘Cooking up a meal fit for a queen’.
    She
grinned while climbing out of bed. Harper couldn’t resist fixing her hair and
adding some mascara before padding softly down the hallway. She followed her
nose into the kitchen and peeked her head around the wall.
    Axel
heard her and turned, smiling. “Morning, beauty.”
    She
blushed at his greeting. “Good morning.”
    “Hungry?”
    “I’m
completely starving. I don’t remember feeling this hungry when I was a teen,”
Harper admitted, taking a seat on one of the bar stools.
    “Part
of being a werewolf,” he shrugged, popping a piece of bacon into his perfectly
formed mouth.
    “You
don’t sound too inconvenienced.”
    “I
enjoy a good meal.” He winked at her before taking two plates out of the
cabinet and filling them
