_ Her Wolf

I swallowed, my body reacting before my mind could catch up. I took a step forward and then took another.

The urge to touch her, to reach out, to feel the warmth of my mark on her skin… was overwhelming.

I needed to. I needed to.

I could see it in my mind; the way my fingers would brush over her pulse point, the way her skin would feel beneath my touch, the way her breath would hitch… 

My heart pounded. I stepped closer… 

And suddenly, she moved fast. 

She shoved at the door, trying to slam it shut before I could get in.

"Wait… María José!"

BAM.

The wooden door smacked into my face before I could stop it. I staggered back, cursing under my breath.

"María José!" I growled, pressing a hand to my forehead. "Are you serious?"

I heard her sharp inhale from the other side of the door.

"I…" she started, then hesitated.
