His eyes swirled as he stared into her silver gray ones.
“Did you like what I just did?” Phoebe asked.
He swallowed hard not trusting his voice but managed a nod.
“Good. Because I liked it too.”
He blinked and realized what she was saying. A smile slowly made his eyes sparkle with amusement, “So…that’s the wicked humor my sister talked about.”
“Wicked?”
With a growl he rolled them so she was lying under him before capturing her mouth in a passionate kiss. Her fingers curled themselves in his hair sending sparks directly to his brain. He caressed her thigh tugging her close and grinding their hips together. She moaned as her scent took on a spicy note driving him crazy with hunger and his pants became uncomfortably tight. He wanted nothing more than to rip away the barriers between them.
Jason pulled away forcing a deep breath trying to marshal his control before he truly went too far. She was just too irresistible. Under him Phoebe struggled to catch her own breath.
“You play a dangerous game, angel.”
“Do I?” she asked innocently
He growled. His eyes swirled. Hers shimmered in response.
Jason kissed her nose and she snorted a laugh. Jason chuckled and nibbled her ear.
“My mom’s planning a party tonight to welcome you, the pups and Bridget to the pack. I’ll make you all official members. You’ll also join the pack link so you will be able to mindlink anyone you need to talk to. I’m sure they will be clamoring to meet you once I officially introduce you as my Luna.”
“That sounds nice.” Though she was still hesitant to be Luna Phoebe liked the thought of being part of a pack link again.
Jason hesitated, “Since none of you have blood relatives in Blue Moon you’ll have to take a blood oath.”
“Blood oath?”
“You have to swear loyalty to the pack and me as Alpha and we seal the oath with blood,” Jason said.
He traced a line down her palm watching her reaction.
Blood oaths were no longer common. Most packs made do with simple loyalty oaths and opened the pack link to new members psychically. The bond was not quite the same and relied on the mating bond to tether it. Older packs like Blue Moon required a more substantial bond to join pack members so they still used the blood oath.
“The pups too?”
“Yeah. It’ll only take a moment and well have bandages and salve on hand,” Jason explained. “But it will also seal my connection and bond to them so it might actually be beneficial in the long run.”
Phoebe was pensive. She didn’t want the pups to suffer any pain but it seemed Jason was already making preparations to ensure their comfort as much as possible.
Given Blue Moon’s long lineage and bloodline it was not surprising it employed blood oaths.
“All right,” Phoebe nodded.
“Thank you, angel,” Jason nuzzled her.
They lay together for some time enjoying each other’s nearness and lingering kisses. Jason didn’t seem to be in any hurry to get back to his work but Phoebe didn’t mind.
Every kiss and caress caused her body to tremble in pleasure she never experienced before and she wanted more. In truth Jason was under strict orders to keep Phoebe occupied while the final preparations for the party were completed.
He and his wolf had no objections with this arrangement but eventually the time to join everyone approached.
Reluctantly he retreated to the bathroom for a quick shower before relinquishing it to Phoebe. When she emerged wrapped in a towel he was already dressed in a black silk button-up and trousers.
Phoebe stared at her new wardrobe asking, “What do you think I should wear? I mean, is it formal?”
“Casual is fine,” Jason chuckled hugging her from behind.
He bowed his head to kiss her neck and nibble her ear to ensure his scent wrapped around her again. Phoebe moaned softly leaning against him and he was tempted to bring her back to bed but this party was important for the pack.
With a sigh he looked over her side of the closet. Even after today’s shopping spree it was barely a third full but it was an improvement and there was plenty of time to spoil her.
“Anything will be fine… especially if you wear something from that.”
“From what?” Phoebe asked before noticing his attention was on the Victoria Secret bag. She blushed deep red.
“Is that a no?” he asked not bothering to hide his disappointment.
“Jason…”
He kissed her with a chuckle and said, “It gets cold after dark…so make sure to pick something warm.”
“All right.”
Phoebe eventually settled for black, thermal-lined leggings and a gray turtleneck. She stepped out of the closet and looked at her reflection self-consciously. Jason embraced her again kissing her temple and admiring her modest yet tantalizing look. In truth, she could wear anything and be just as tempting.
Leaving their suite they quietly made their way down stairs.
Phoebe made it to the first landing before she hesitated at the pain of the stitches. Without a word Jason scooped her up and carried her.
“Jason! I can walk.”
“I know. It’s better this way.”
Phoebe laughed wrapping her arms around his neck and nuzzling him. Jason growled in pleasure.
Reaching the ground floor he carefully set her on her feet and led her to the patio hand-in-hand. Phoebe hesitated at the sliding doors looking out into the evening where over five hundred pack members were gathered and more would arrive as the evening progressed. No doubt they attendees were deliberately spacing their arrivals so she wouldn’t be overwhelmed but Blue Moon was such a large pack. She wasn’t sure she could do this.
Jason hugged her, “They’ll love you, angel. Promise.”
