Chapter 80
Six Months Later
Ashlynn
It was the last day of breeding season yet again. I was exhausted. Everyone was exhausted. My Uncle's son had come home last month from his training. There was so much happening, one thing after another. After Mom and Cody were mated, Dawson and I had our ceremony a week later. Now with the Alpha heir home, Uncle Gabe was training him to take over so he could retire. It was odd having a cousin I had never met, but we hit it off right away and he was like the big brother I never had. Obnoxious and hilarious, all at the same time. This new life had given us so much more than we ever anticipated.
I stepped out of the shower, drying myself off with a towel and walked into the bedroom to get dressed. Uncle Gabe had planned a BBQ for today, giving everyone the chance to relax and enjoy each others company, after the past few months of grueling hard work. There was even going to be a band tonight.
As I finished dressing, I walked out into the kitchen to grab myself some water. Dawson came through the door about that time, sweaty and dirty. "Hey beautiful, let me just grab a quick shower and then we can head down to the BBQ," he kicked off his boots and ran into the bedroom. Even sweaty and dirty, he was gorgeous. I sighed, thinking about everything that had happened in the last year and a half. I still can't believe that we had moved to Montana, started new lives, went through that entire ordeal with the Godsend Pack, Dawson almost dying, then the trial with the council, and Mom and Cody getting mated, followed by Dawson and I. It's been a crazy eighteen months. I dropped my glass into the dishwasher and went into the bedroom. I stripped off my clothes and walked into the bathroom. I didn't even pause at the door, as I walked in and opened the shower door. Dawson turned around and looked at me with a curious look.
"The BBQ isn't going anywhere," I said as I stepped in and closed the door behind me. The smile on Dawson's face could have lit up the darkest sky. I stepped up to him, running my hands up the ridges of his muscles in his chest. Pulling his head down so my mouth could reach his, I slipped my tongue into his mouth, entangling our tongues. Dawson groaned and pushed me up against the shower wall. I felt his hand drop down to my already wet pussy, sliding two fingers into my folds to tease me. His thumb began circling my clit and I pushed myself against his hand, wanting more. We'd barely had any time for each other the past few weeks, and I needed this so badly. I ached for release.
Dawson picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He lifted me just enough so I could feel his erect member at my entrance, his lips never leaving mine. Using the shower wall for leverage, he slammed into me, clearly needing a release as much as I did. We didn't talk, we just relished in our bodies coming together. It was heated and fast and within minutes we were both coming undone, our moans echoing in the shower. Dawson pulled away, to rest his forehead against mine. He was still buried inside me, my legs still wrapped around his waist. "I love you," he whispered as he pecked feather kisses on my cheeks.
We stood like that in the shower for a few minutes, before he set me down. We washed each other, intermittently stopping to kiss each other with sweet feather light kisses. As I stood there looking at this man I was so fortunate enough to call mine, I couldn't help but be grateful for this life I had. I had never been so happy in my entire life. We stepped out of the shower to get ready to head to the BBQ. We could now hear the sounds of the band playing. I was feeling excited about that. I hadn't heard a band play since we first moved here and went out to the Rusty Spur with everyone. I was looking forward to dancing with my man.
