The Imperial Wolf Series Books 1-3
Chapter 49

Kate POV

I convince Cassie and Erick to let me be for a short period of time. I feel like I have been surrounded and only need a few moments to myself. I could run a hot bath or something. I just need some time to sort through everything before Shawn comes to speak with me. I have so much to tell him that I did not share with Erick or Cassie. Our baby girl and my mother told me to hold out for a little while. I feel it is best.

"I understand you need some time to process everything, just let me help you out of the bed, at least," Erick says.

I touch his hand and smile at him. "Okay, I can let my big strong Alpha help me for a little while. You can run me a bath, extra hot," I say to him.

Erick leaves the bedroom and goes into the master bathroom. I can hear the water running. Cassie goes to leave me. "Thank you, Cassie, for caring for me, Austin and Erick. I think we ask too much of you," I say to her.

"I do not mind helping you at all. You know I love you as a sister, and Erick has always been kind to me. As for Austin, I love that boy. I would do anything for him," Cassie says.

"I know you love Austin. You should adopt him and raise him as your own child," I say to her.

"Alpha Erick would never let that happen. I already asked to adopt him. He is close to him. Austin was his crutch when you were gone," Cassie says.

"I know, but I think Austin deserves to have his own mother and someone who will love him like their own. I can love Austin and be a caregiver to him, but not like you can. Erick knows that. I will talk to him," I say to her. Cassie hugs me. "Thank you," she says as she leaves the master bedroom.

I go into the master bathroom, where Erick is finishing up running my bathwater. "How sweet of you, Alpha," I say to him. He kisses me.

"Do you want me to join you?" Erick asks.

"I wanted some time alone, but it would be nice to have you in the tub with me. We have not really gotten to spend any time together, have we?" I ask him.

"No, my beautiful Luna, we have not spent any time together since you got home," Erick says to me.

Erick kisses me letting his hands run over my body. He grabs the fabric of my nightgown and pulls it up and over my head. He touches my belly and then kisses me again. "Let me help you in to your bath, Luna," Erick says to me. He takes my hand and helps me into the enormous tub.

Erick takes off his clothes and steps into the rub with me. He helps me sit down in the tub and joins me. I lean back in the water and let it cover my body. Being in this tub with him in like heaven. I have missed him so much.

Erick slides between my legs and presses his body against me gently. He leans in and kisses my lips, then my neck-his touch, how I have longed to feel his kisses and his embrace. I can feel him grinding against me, wanting to enter me.

Erick slides his hand down my body and pushes his fingers inside me. I let out a moan as his fingers enter me. His kisses continue to my breast-he suckles at my b****t as he fingers me. I want him inside me so badly.

My fingers play with his hair as he sucks at my breast. I rock my hips and pant as he continues to please me. "I want you, Erick," I moan as he pushes me to almost release on his fingers.

Erick pulls his massive well-built body between my legs. He slides into me slowly. I begin to tighten as his member penetrates me deeply. He thrusts in and out of me slowly. The water splashes around us as he pleases me.

Erick leans down and kisses me. Our tongues slide over one and another as over bodies heat up full of excitement. I needed this. I needed him. I grab a hold of the side of the tub as I tighten around him, ready to release. I moan louder and louder as I finally release onto him.

Erick kisses me as I cum. He pushes deeper into me. My body tingles from the pleasure. He begins to moan loudly and release into me. We collapse into the bubble bath, breathing heavily and pleased with one another. "I missed this," I say to him.

"Me too," Erick says to me as he kissed me.

"I have to tell you something, Erick," I say to him. Erick has a look of horror on his face.

"What is wrong?" he asks.

"I lied to you. Well, I did not lie. I just did not tell you everything," I say to him.

"About what?" Erick asks.

"What I saw when I was asleep, there is so much more, but I want to talk to Shawn first," I say to him.

"I am your husband. Do you not trust me with your life and the baby?" Erick asks.

"Of course, I do. It is just that I saw some things that I do not understand. I need Shawn to clarify for me; that is all," I say to him.

Erick looks relieved. "I thought you were going to tell me something horrible. I understand. I have limited knowledge about imperials. I am learning for you and the baby and for the pack," Erick says. "Maybe Alexander can help too. I am thankful you sent for him," I say.

Erick moves around so I can lay on him in the tub. "Can we just stay here and not worry about all of this today?" Erick asks.

"I wish. I would be fine with that. We could make love all day and hide from everyone," I say.

"As soon as we settle everything, we will run away for a few days away from everything and everyone," Erick says.

"I will hold you to that Alpha," I say to him.
