Chapter 448 Exactly the same?
Following her instinct, Lara turned her head back. She saw Nate's blonde hair from that angle, but she couldn't check his expression. She had done something, she was sure. But... What was it?
She turned on her back and caught his face between her palms, pressing her thumbs on his cheek.
When he widened his eyes, she understood that was it. She was doing it right! Her body would react under his fingers, and her soul would guide her to repeat what she had done that night.
Her mind couldn't remember, reshape the images. But her body knew.
She continued undoing Nate's shirt, pulling it away from his shoulders and down his arms. When she could place her lips on his chest, a few images flashed in her memory.
She guided his hand on his back, just like during their first night together. The details were blurry, but of one thing she was sure: that was how she she had asked Nate to do it, by placing his hand back on her body.
His eyes glowed in the dark, and she knew it was the right path. Was that why she couldn't remember? The glowing eyes? Or was it because of the invincible attraction that linked them?
Whatever the cause, she didn't care so much. Now that she knew the reasons for everything, she felt quite comfortable. Her mind was at ease because she knew it wasn't wrong. She wasn't ill or depraved.
Everything was just... normal.
When she pulled Nate down for another kiss, his hand reached for the drawer, and he rummaged without splitting from her. He continued until losing patience and giving up. He threw a glance inside the drawer before collecting a small package.
«Oh, right,» Lara sighed.
She was forgetting that little detail.
«We can't do everything exactly the same,» Nate explained. «Not that I wouldn't like to have other pups with you, but for now... I think it's early, right?»
Before he started stuttering, she pressed a finger to his lips.
«It's okay,» she chuckled. «You don't need to explain every little thing, Nate. I am not that dumb, am I? Trust my intuition for tonight.»
He gulped, nodding his head, convinced. He could trust her, and she would trust him. Just as their souls were pushing them to.
Their hands peeled their clothes off, and they found themselves rolling in bed without anything in between. Their hands explored each other as if they knew everything already as if they'd been lovers for years.
With her legs around his hips, he felt his member slip inside without even realising it. He didn't have any choice because all his being was guided by instinct. And so was hers, he realised when she arched her back and scratched him with her nails.
Her legs tightened around him, and her fingers slipped from his shoulders to his arms. As if fearing hurting her with his weight, Nate leaned on his arms and observed her from a little further. He could see her face well, like that, and he could check her moans were only of pleasure and no complaints. Just like that night, she was liking it.
Her back would arch and her fingers grip him at every thrust, her voice whispering sweet moans. He liked how she liked it.
And he could feel that, no matter how delicate, she wouldn't break with a single whisper. His mate was tough, after all.
He knew his eyes were most likely glowing, but what could he do? It wasn't even the Black Moon, but that woman knew how to make him lose his sanity.
He pushed her knee up, making her release his side and move to the shoulder. He had always wanted to try doing that, to see whether she would like it more or only be annoyed.
But Lara said no word. She clenched the pillow because she couldn't reach his shoulders anymore - with her own leg on the way.
Her soft moans made him shiver and wish to kiss her again, but the pleasure was building up. They reached the peak at the same time, their souls resonating together. They couldn't feel any boundary between their bodies or souls: they were one.
It was even more powerful than when they had done it years after the first time.
Lara pulled the cover to cover their bodies, her mind still clouded, but her instinct settled on protecting her mate from the cold. They cuddled under the bed sheets as if it was a chilly night in winter - and not hot midsummer.
«Was this exactly the same?» Lara inquired, rubbing her eyes not to fall asleep just yet.
«More or less.»
«But I feel like we were very, very close.»
«Indeed.»
«Maybe I will dream about it. But now that I know how it went...»
She sighed.
«Yes?»
«I hate myself for forgetting. What a waste, Nate!»

He chuckled, pecking her forehead and hugging her tighter. He couldn't even feel the temperature in the room at that moment.
Nothing could bother them: not the hot, not the sweat covering their bodies since before.
«Are you hungry?» he asked.
«Just a little,» Lara said. «But not now. Now, I'll just rest.»
«Then, rest.»Nôv(el)B\\jnn
They closed their eyes, finally ready to sleep. They were both tired and satisfied. They had set an alarm for the morning after, but both expected to fail at getting up.
«It's so nice,» Lara murmured before falling asleep. «The whole house empty for us, the twins settled for a little while... We should do it more often.»
«I agree,» Nate sighed. He would have agreed to whatever she asked at that moment. Maybe, even to let the pups spend the whole summer with their grandma - if only the grandma was available.
Oh, but he would have got his honeymoon, he decided. Even if it meant he had to force the events. Just a little.
He had to ensure everything was all right before bringing Lara with him on new adventures. The company was doing good; the matter with Mayford was settled.
It was almost time, wasn't it?
