Chapter TWELVE

Carter smiled as he snuggled his mate close. A week had gone by since the night she’d almost been taken from him, and he was fucking tickled that they’d spent every single day since locked in his bedroom.

It was Sunday, and tomorrow he had to go into Manhattan for a meeting with his Neta. He’d mentioned it to Toni, and she’d gone quiet. That night she’d made love to him like a wildcat. Leaving no place untouched or tried, especially his heart.

Carter was so in love with her, and lucky him, she loved him back. He knew it in his bones. Once a Tiger denied, he now sported over half a dozen mating marks all over his flesh, and they were all evidence of his sweet cutie pie’s eternal love. Something he echoed with all his heart.

“Good morning,” he whispered, kissing her sweet blonde head.

She’d been awake a few minutes, he could tell from the change in her breathing pattern. Something was up with Toni, but even if he was not a patient man, Carter was determined to be a patient mate.
