“Get us home so you can show me how much,” his Nari commanded and Dean didn’t need to be told twice to put the pedal to the metal.
The scenery flew by and his mate laughed as he sped along to their penthouse in Manhattan. It was truly a wonder that she had come into his life so suddenly and perfectly, even he had to admit. Violet had irrevocably changed his solitary ways.
For the better though, always for the better, he thought with a grin splitting his face.
Yes, he just had to introduce his mate to his Pride, but first, he would show her just what it meant to be his one and true fated mate. She was the single most important person in his entire world and she deserved to hear that from his lips, to taste the truth behind his vows in his kiss.
Indeed, growled his beast in agreement. This was going to be a Christmas his sweet, sugar cookie scented Nari would never forget. Dean would make damn sure of that.
Mine, growled his Tiger.
Mine, echoed his Tigress.
He heard her husky growl whispering in his mind through their matebond and fuck if that wasn’t the most incredible thing.
That ethereal link pulsed and glowed in that metaphysical plane where it resided, allowing them both the gift of knowing how the other felt. He basked in the knowledge that his mate was as crazy about him as he was about her.
How had he gotten so lucky, he wondered that for some length as he drove.
Dean held Violet’s hand the entire way back home. As he neared the penthouse he recalled his conversation with his Beta before he’d left for the cabin. What a fool he’d been! So arrogant and sure.
Well, his adventure proved one thing for certain, Christmas miracles really did exist and he’d been blessed to have his own sitting right there next to him.
“Are you nervous?” he asked as they pulled into the private lot of the ISP Building on the Upper West Side.
“A little,” she confessed, “but really I’m excited.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yes,” she bit her lower lip in a way that made him ache to soothe the abused skin, “I can’t wait to start my life with you.”
“Me neither,” he agreed and it was true.
He’d never expected to have a whirlwind romance when he’d left earlier the day before, but here he was, the Tiger King of Manhattan with his own Christmas Bride!
“Merry Christmas,” he said and captured her lips one more time before leading the way to his private elevator.
It would be some time before they were alone, so Dean pushed the stop button and showed her just how delightful small spaces and city life could really be.
“Love you, mate.”
“I love you,” she sighed into his embrace and Dean forgot everything but her.
Right then, she was the only thing in the world that mattered to him.
As it should be, thought his Tiger approvingly.
The end.
About the Author
Hi! I’m C.D. Gorri, Steamy Paranormal Romance and Urban Fantasy/YA Author, Creator of the Grazi Kelly Universe. I am proud to be a Smashwords USA Today Happy Ever After Hot List Indie Author! I’ve always been an avid reader, and I have a profound love for books and literature. When I’m not writing or taking care of my family I can usually be found with a book or tablet in my hand. I live in my home state of New Jersey with my husband, our children, and our dogs, Dash and Chewie.
I’m a busy mom of three and finding time for leisurely reading was never easy, so I write stories that are fast-paced, yet detailed with satisfying conclusions. If I thought making time to read was difficult, I was in for a huge surprise when I started writing, but now that I started, I can’t picture myself doing anything else! I love writing powerful women and strong heroes who face relatable problems in supernatural settings! I plan on increasing the GK Universe with each and every story I publish. You can follow me on social media to keep up to date on all my new releases and events!
Thanks for reading!
Del mare alla stella,
