章節 147: Exhausting night

The sounds from outside witnessed the cubs playing with their aunt. So, Lara and Nate could stay on the bed and look each other in the eye.

They didn't want to get up nor move a single muscle. The mattress was comfortable, and the contact of their skins made them feel happy and warm. Their hearts were beating at the same pace, and their skin was burning where they were touching each other.

Sometimes, Nate would dare to slide his hand on her back, testing the waters before stopping and waiting for a little again.

They were, at the same time, thirsty for contact and afraid of the other's reaction. As time passed, the full moon reached its peak. The pups stopped playing and howled, together with Samantha, out in the garden.

Lara woke up from her daze, realising she had been lying there like a doll for a long time. She wondered if Nate would howl as well, but he didn't emit a sound until a low growl at her ear made her shiver. Not in fear, just like usual.
