Alpha Liam POV
I stare at Hope. She looks somewhat vulnerable as she asks the question, nibbling on her lower lip, a look of nervousness on her face. Did I want to sleep with her, even though it didn't entail s*x? You bet your ass I did, but it was going to be like pure torture, being so close to her scent and feeling that luscious body pressed up against time. I swallowed hard, even as my wolf began to urge me, wanting to be close to our mate, no matter what it was she wanted from us. I knew both of us wanted more, but we were prepared to wait. I wanted Hope to be ready before she gave herself to me and I wanted her first time to be special, not some hurried rush to mate her.
"Sleep with you? Of course, I do, but are you sure that's what you want?" I checked with a low growl.
"Yes,"
