Colin’s pov,

It took over a week before Vanessa finally revealed her plan to him. He had not seen her much, she had been busy making preparations. When they did meet it did not involve a lot of talking. He had shown her every corner of the house by now and still, it didn’t seem enough. They always had raw, passionate sex which was usually all he wanted. But he couldn’t help longing to find some deeper connection with his mate. But that was probably too much to ask. Vanessa had made it very clear that whatever was between them it was strictly physical.

This morning she came to him...
