Tell Me What You Want

DANI'S P. O. V.

Suddenly, the enormous wolf is no longer holding me under the water.

I gasp and splutter on all fours in the shallows. My lungs are on fire as they fill with much-needed air. I start to crawl towards the bank, looking around for any sign of the wolf, but I'm all alone.

The only sounds I can hear now is the water gently lapping at the shore and the buzzing of cicadas in the trees up above.

I make a run for my shoes, slipping my feet into them in record time. I don't even bother with my socks. I just need to get the hell up out of here.

TYLER'S P. O. V.

Hunter follows Dani's scent as it veers off the footpath and towards the direction of the lake.

We can already smell a rogue nearby. He must be getting close to Dani.

We burst through the thicket of trees and stand on the sand watching as the filthy rogue stands in the shallows and pushes something down with his big paws... Oh Goddess no! It's Dani!

Hunter lunges at the rogue, sinking his canines into his jugular and pulling him off of our mate. We drag him into the bushes where she won't be able to see us and swiftly snap his neck.

The rogue goes limp underneath us.

I shift back and lay low, watching as Dani reaches the shore. She's shaking and coughing up water. She pauses and looks around her, probably wondering just what on earth just happened, but she has the common sense not to stick around.

She makes a bee line for her shoes and disappears into the thicket.

I lay back on the sand, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Good job Hunter. You saved her, I say to my wolf.

"We" saved her, he replies.

Yes we did.

I mind-link for Liam to come and get the rogue before I shift back into my wolf and race towards Dani's house.

DANI'S P. O. V.

I sprint all the way home, making it back in less than 30 minutes.

I don't think I've ever run as fast as I did just now.

I run to the back door, swing it open, run inside and crash my back up against it, closing it shut behind me.

I'm a trembling mess, soaked through and muddy. I sink down to the floor. I don't even realize I'm crying until I feel a pair of strong warm arms wrap themselves around me. Tyler?

I look up into his eyes and he's looking at me with so much love I just break down into heavy sobs against his chest.

He doesn't say anything, he just picks me up as if I weigh nothing and carries me, bridal style, up to my room.

"Where's everyone?" I ask him in a small voice, finally noticing how quiet the house really is.

He puts me down on the threshold of my bathroom door.

"I overheard your mom and dad say they needed to go pick up your gift. Jane went with them, and El is by her friend's house down the street," he replies, grabbing a towel from the hook and gently drying my hair.

I push his hand away and look into his eyes. "How do you know this?"

Tyler doesn't answer me, but crashes his lips against mine as if his life depends on it. I forget all of my senses as I kiss him back.

I nearly died today. I almost lost out on the chance to taste him again, to feel his warm embrace, to hear his heartbeat... the tears are flowing freely now as our kiss deepens. I never want to stop, but I'll be damned if I don't say those 3 words back to him.

His lips leave mine as he trails them down my jaw and to my neck. Now's my chance. "I love you, Tyler," I whisper.

His lips freeze at my neck, then he shoots back up and looks me in the eyes. "Oh Dani, that makes me so happy," he says as he gently cups his hand over my cheek and brushes his lips against mine once more.

I'm in heaven. The sparks and tingles flowing through me now is so indescribable as Tyler lifts me onto the vanity.

He turns the shower on and I watch as he sticks his hand into the spray and adjusts the hot and cold taps to the perfect temperature.

I'm enjoying watching the water droplets glisten on his muscular arms, and I'm instantly aroused at the thought of having my boyfriend naked and wet in my shower... with me.

"Are those my brother's clothes?!" I blurt out in shock as I take in his outfit.

He rubs his head sheepishly, "yeah, I needed clothes."

I open my mouth to ask him why in the world he needed clothes, but he places a finger over my lips.

He stands between my legs, and leaves soft kisses all over my neck, down my collar bone and between the dip of my cleavage. I'm moaning in pure ecstasy. This boy is beyond talented with that mouth of his.

Tyler's hands snake down behind the waistband of my leggings and he grabs ahold of my ass cheeks.

"Ah!" I cry out in pleasure.

In a split second he's got my leggings and panties off and my shoes along with them, all in one swift move. He tosses it on the floor then turns to pull my sports bra off over my head and tosses that down too.

He takes both of my breasts in his hands and caresses them softly while his lips find mine and he sucks and nibbles on my bottom lip.

It feels so amazing! I lean my body into him, my naked core is aching with want.

Tyler pauses to lift off his (well, technically Ryan's) T-shirt. I marvel at his chiseled abs before grabbing onto his thick locks and sinking my teeth into his shoulder, earning a hiss of appreciation from his lips.

His hands reach under my ass and he pulls me flush against his bare chest. He gently tugs my hair free of its ponytail and gives it a shake so the ringlets bounce around my face and touch my bare skin.

"Do you have any idea how sexy you are? Just feel what you're doing to me, baby." he moans into my neck while sliding one of my hands with his down the front of his borrowed sweats.

I gasp at the feeling of his enormous erection beneath my small hands. How on earth is this supposed to fit inside me?

He lifts me up and carries me to the shower.

He pulls the sweatpants down to his ankles and steps out of them, joining me under the warm water.

Watching the water fall down this Greek God standing before me in all his glory gets me so aroused I say a silent prayer of thanks that we're already in the shower.

"Tell me what you want, baby... Do you want this?" he asks me, as his fingertips play with my slick folds. I'm dripping wet and moaning incoherently.

"Tell me," he says again in a husky voice.

"Yes, oh please... I want you. I need you, Tyler!"

He smiles and crashes his lips against mine once more.
