Let’s mark her as soon as possible

Luke

When Valerie left for the kitchen, it took everything in me not to go after her, and do everything that had restrained myself to do, but I knew we couldn't. I can't be intimate with her until I'm at least not living off her. 

I can't bring myself to do that to her. 

I'm hugely indebted to her at the moment due to her endless mindlessness and kindness. The last thing I should be thinking about is having her legs around my neck as I pleasure her as much as I want.

This was something I couldn't be more clear about, but my wolf wouldn't take it. He was raging inside me like a horny brute.

"Let me out, you coward." He growled. But I'd be damned if I let him out right now. 

"We need to talk,"  I told him, and the instant I did, he scoffed angrily.
