2024-10-29 19:42:56Adam’s P.O.V.
The Sunday sun bathed the dining room in a gentle glow as my family gathered around the table for family dinner. The savory aroma of the food filled the air, mingling with the chatter and laughter that always accompanied our gatherings. I hated to spend almost an entire day in the kitchen, but somehow, I just knew how happy and proud my mother would be if she would have lived to see this.
So… maybe that was why I kept doing them. But my happiness was short-lived because we weren’t even done with dinner before one of my siblings got on my case.
“So… a little birdy told me that you found a lady friend, Adam,” Blade told me, sitting to my left, wearing his firefighter t-shirt since he had just walked in after a shift. Skye just started snickering along with him as they exchanged mischievous grins. Damnit, those two acted way too much like twins these days.
“Yeah…someon

Jenna’s P.O.V.I balanced my phone on the edge of my vanity mirror, adjusting it until I could see both myself and the screen clearly. With a deep breath, I tapped the video call icon, and Jules’ face appeared on the screen, her signature grin lighting up my phone.“Hey, cutie!” Jules exclaimed.“Are we ready for the big night?” She laughed, clapping her hands. I returned her smile, though my nerves were starting to show.“I think so. Adam is picking me up in half an hour.” I answered Jules, watching her eyes twinkle with excitement.“Well, let’s make sure you’re dressed to dazzle. Show me the options we are working with here.” She spoke, grabbing a Starbucks as I saw a green straw appear on my screen.I turned toward my hotel closet, scanning the hangers filled with my clothes.“Alright, here goes nothing.” I sighed, leaning in.&

Adam’s P.O.V.“Adam, what the hell are you doing in my closet?” Koda asked me the second he walked inside his bedroom and found me roaming through his closet. So, I quickly turned around, startled and understanding that I had just been caught red-handed.Shit…“It’s not what it looks like, I swear,” I answered Koda, seeing his eyebrow raise up playfully because knowing my brother, he knew exactly what it looked like and what I was doing.“Really? Because it looks like you’re on a treasure hunt in my closet.” He answered me matter-of-factly, the little dipshit who thought he was funny. But knowing I probably wouldn’t be able to get out of this mess in the end, all I could do was chuckle as a response.“Treasure hunt? Well, you see, I was just um… looking for my… lucky socks! Yeah, that’s it.” I nodde

Jenna’s P.O.V.The anticipation had been building inside of me like a pressure cooker for days. Ever since Adam had asked me out on our first official date, I had been walking on clouds, replaying the moment he had asked me out in my mind over and over. It was a dream come true, something I had secretly hoped for since our High School days. Twelve years had passed since then, and today was the day it would finally happen. To say that my inner sixteen-year-old self was twirling around throwing rose petals in the air was quite an understatement.My heart raced as I stood in front of the mirror, examining myself from every angle I could see. The outfit was good, my hair and makeup perfect, but all I could see were my jitters manifesting in the twinkle of my blue eyes. And all I could see were worst-case scenarios about me tripping over my own feet or the waiter dropping food all over me during our night out.The knock on the do

Together, we walked out of my hotel room and out to the hotel parking lot, where his red truck was already waiting for us. Like the true gentleman that he was, Adam walked me to my side of the car and opened the door for me. When he slid in the driver’s side himself, he leaned over and kissed me again, the tip of his tongue teasing my bottom lip.“I’m not sure if I can make it through dinner with you looking likethat,” his lips whispered against my own, the pressure in between my legs only building up more. The streetlights cast a warm glow onto Adam’s face, and the night already felt magical. So magical, that I couldn’t help but smile and be genuinely happy for myself.“This is already perfect for me,” I said softly, watching Adam’s eyes twinkle as he looked back at me. That same twinkle that I had never seen in a man’s eyes when he would look at me. I felt my cheeks flush under h

Jenna’s P.O.V.The door shut behind me, and that’s when I probably truly understood that I was actually standing in the hallway of Adam Miller’s house for the very first time. This night had been nothing short of magical so far. Adam and I had enjoyed a wonderful dinner at the Italian restaurant, filled with laughter and a feeling as if we had known each other for years. When we had walked back to his truck, there had been an undeniable spark in the air, a magnetic pull between us that had been building for weeks on end. If not years on my part. But now, I couldn’t help but feel nervous and excited at the same time, understanding that we were close to crossing the next line that would end just a friendship and turn into something more. The date had been perfect so far, and I honestly didn’t want it to end…ever.“Are your brothers or sisters not here?” I asked Adam while he took off his jacket and placed it

As soon as the fabric fell off of me, once his fingers pulled down the straps from my arms, I could feel his eyes on me, burning, longing, wanting. God damned, I had never thought seeing myself through a man’s eyes would have this kind of effect on me. By seeing how Adam looked at me, I would feel this powerful, this beautiful. The fact that I was pulling these reactions out of him, was making me feel larger than life.His lips followed the path of his fingers and I could not help myself but let my head fall back, everything just felt that perfect. That good.“I need you, Gorgeous,” Adam whispered at me, right before his teeth nipped on my skin, where my neck connected with my shoulder, it made shivers run down my spine. The best shivers I had ever felt in my entire life.I ground into him once again, my hands holding on to his neck now that I finally had loosened up all the buttons and I was rewarded by seeing a gli

Adam’s P.O.V.Holy hell…Holy fucking hell…I was still trying my best to wrap my head around everything that had just happened. Now, honestly, I had been walking around with a pole in my pants ever since Jenna had opened up her hotel room door and I had been rewarded by the sight of Jenna in a little black dress that showed off her legs for days and every other perfect curve that her body had been made of.I had once again been amazed, by how effortlessly our date had gone, how easy conversation came between us, and how amazing this girl was able to make me feel. And still, I had wanted to be a perfect gentleman with her. If she had given me any sign that she wasn’t ready, or that she wanted to wait and take things slow between us, I might have died from blue balls in the process, but I still would have waited for her. Because that was how much Jenna truly meant to me.But the

“This is amazing,” She murmured with a grin, her lips lightly dusted with cocoa powder, and all I wanted to do was lean in and lick it off of her myself. I chuckled, feeling like the luckiest man on the globe right now.“You do have a good taste in dessert, and in men if I might add.” I winked at her, seeing how she rolled her eyes at me, but in a playful way. Not as if she was annoyed by me like she was when we had first met, Thank God.“Oh stop it, you’re making me blush.” She giggled, playfully pushing me against my chest.Fuck, I loved to feel her hands on me.As we both savored the dessert, I couldn’t help but feel a tug at my heartstrings. The sweetness of the tiramisu sure was delicious, but the sweetness of this shared moment with my one true mate was even more enticing.“So, Mr Miller,” Jenna spoke to me, grabbing the spoon from me as she

“How is your uncle’s house going?” Koda asked me, walking toward a cooler and grabbing a can of soda for himself. And I took a mental note that since Adam had just installed the refrigerator, I guess we could start loading the fridge in as well, once the boxes were all emptied out.“Good. It’s actually done.” I smiled, referring to my late uncle Ben’s house. I had taken some time to think about my options on what to do with the house that I had grown up in. But once the decision had been made, I had been over the moon and unstoppable.“And we also named it.” I smiled, seeing how Koda’s eyebrows rose up, making him look just like Adam.“I named it ‘Uncle Ben’s Inn’, in his memory.” I smiled, thinking back at the way my uncle’s old house had once looked back in the day, and how I had transformed it into a small bed and breakfast.

Jenna's P.O.V.6 months laterThe sun streamed through the big windows of the kitchen, overlooking the backyard and the woods in the distance, casting a warm glow across the hardwood floors of Gran’s old house, or as we now said; our house. It was a bittersweet morning, one that marked the ending of one chapter, and the beginning of a whole new chapter in Adam’s and my life. Today was official moving day, and we were finally ready to call this place our home.Months of hard work had gone into the remodeling of Gran’s house. Together with Anderson’s Construction, Adam and I had gone into the remodeling of Gran’s house. Together, we had transformed the old, creaky place into a cozy haven of our liking. It was our labor of love, a testament to our commitment to each other, and to the new life we were building together.I walked into the kitchen, savoring the scent of fresh paint and the p

Jenna’s P.O.V.I blinked, waking up and feeling disoriented for a moment because somehow my brain for a second still thought that I was back in Chicago in Jules’ apartment. But as my consciousness slowly returned, I became acutely aware of a new sensation souring through me, bringing me right back into Fairview, into Adam's room.I somehow felt different waking up, but it wasn’t the kind of different that would send alarm bells ringing. It was a good kind of different, a sense of profound calm and security I had never experienced before.The memories of the previous night flooded my mind, the raw intensity of Adam’s mark, and his declaration of claiming me as his mate, forever. The connection we shared had always been undeniable, but somehow seemed nothing compared to what I was feeling for the man right now. I could feel his energy, his warmth, like a warm undercurrent in my veins before I had even touched him or

Adam’s P.O.V.Fuck, if my little mate was about to keep this up, I would blow my load like a fifteen-year-old looking into his first Playboy magazine. My eyes rolled back all the way to where they could probably see my own brains, feeling her bare for the very first time. The tight clench of her pussy, her wetness, fuck… I could even sense my precum marking her already, my scent nesting inside of her. My fucking canines were already coming out and I was only just inside of her.My hips had found a glorious rhythm of rocking in and out of her. The wet sounds of our fucking, the cracking of the bed on the wooden floors, the sweet sounds she was making as I hit her G-spot stroke after delicious stroke, it was all too much for me right now.“Where do you want me to bite you, baby?” I panted, knowing that right now, I wasn’t able to hold on for much longer.

Jenna’s P.O.V.Damn, this man is good, better than good.Hell, does the right word even exist?No… I honestly don’t think so.He slowly climbed over my body, his lips crashing against mine. The weight of his body on mine, the warmth of his skin pressing on me was almost enough to send me over the edge once more. My hands ran down his cheeks as I stopped him for one moment, long enough to look into his eyes.“I want you to mark me,” I told him, letting him know about the final decision that I had made about my future before I got on the plane back to Fairview. Yes, this had been my decision and mine alone. I wanted to be with Adam, that much was true, but I wanted to be with him in every way human or supernaturally possible. I wanted every part of him. And I wanted to be his just as badly as I wanted him to be mine.

Adam’s P.O.V.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm myself and my wolf. I couldn’t help the grin that almost split my face in half, and how my heart skipped a beat and then started to pound like a wild horse. It really felt as if Jenna coming back to Fairview had also brought me back to life after being dead for a week straight. Fuck, I loved this woman with my whole being. And now, I knew for a fact that that was never going to change because she had just told me that she was going to stay right here, with me.When I had seen her sitting on my front porch, I had wanted to race to her immediately. I had wanted nothing more but to scoop her up into my arms, carry her inside the house, and lock the door behind me so she wouldn’t be able to run away from me anymore. But I hadn’t acted on my own selfish feelings or those of my wolf, since at that point I hadn’t realized why she had returned just yet. I mea

I took a deep breath, my questions all coming in a rush now that I knew I was able to ask them.“What does it even mean to be a werewolf? How does it affect you, and your family? How does it affect our relationship?” Adam leaned back, his expression thoughtful as he considered how to explain.“Being a wolf means that we have the ability to transform into wolves whenever we want to. It’s a part of our family history, a secret we have kept to protect those that we care about.”“How does it affect our relationship?” I asked him as he smiled at me. A warm smile filled with love.“In my world, every wolf has one true mate, sort of a soulmate. Wolves are extremely loyal creatures, they find their partner and they stay together for life. It means that no matter what happens, I will always find my way back to you, Gorgeous. Because you are my one true mate. Or as wolves say, you are mine. That

Jenna’s P.O.V.I had just revealed my decision to Adam, as we were sitting on the sofa inside the living room of his family’s house, strangled in each other's arms. I watched his expression closely, anticipation gnawing at me as I waited for his response to me telling him that we had bought his grandmother’s house and that I had done it without his permission. Adam’s eyes widened in surprise, as he stared at me in disbelief.“You… you did what?” She stammered, clearly taken aback by my revelation. I nodded, my heart pounding with nervous excitement, hoping to God that I had made the right choice by doing this as a gift to him.God…Please don’t let him get mad over this…“I know how much that house means to you, Adam,” I explained, reminding him of the conversations we had had about the place. Hell… I could still see t

“I have been searching for you all afternoon,” I confessed to her, my eyes locking onto hers. Jenna’s expression softened at my statement, and surprisingly, she reached out and touched my hand as if she wanted to apologize that I hadn’t been able to find her any sooner.“I’m sorry,” she told me before she swallowed deeply.“I was at Anderson’s Construction almost the entire afternoon for an emergency meeting with the staff.” She added before she looked away from me again. Which made a lump form in my throat that I absolutely hated, because what on earth could be so bad that she needed to look away from me when she would tell me this?“I…” She sighed, pressing her lips into a thin line, while I braced myself for impact.“I decided to sell my uncle’s company.” She nodded, and my heart sank at her words. This was exactly
