the greater my ferocity is to protect you.”

“The feeling is mutual.”

Smiling against my lips, he takes my attention away from all else but him. Melting under his kiss, I moan beneath him, pushing my hips to match his thrust.

“Get a room,” Garrett barks.

“We don’t need one.” Killian laughs as he pulls back from me. “I’ll have my mate where I want her. You all can go elsewhere if you don’t like it.”

“Touché,” Everett quips.

“Are you okay?” I ask Garrett.

Killian must sense the guilt in my tone. Taking my hand, he lifts me up off the ground.

“I am, no worries.” Garrett adjusts his hair, fixing the mess of a bun. “You did a hell of a lot better on round two. I’m proud.”

“Round two?” Killian asks.

“Yeah, round two,” Garrett confirms. “I can tell you—your mate is extremely loyal to you.”

Killian’s nostrils flare, his gaze sharply focused. “What the hell did you do?”

“Pushed her buttons to fire her up. It worked,” Garrett smirks. “She has no interest in my dick.”

Killian growls, and the two take off, shifting as they run, one chasing after the other.

“He enjoys getting people wound up, doesn’t he?” I ask Everett and Bennett.

“Oh, yeah,” Everett answers. “But only with supernaturals who are equal or possibly stronger. He enjoys being challenged. It’s an alpha thing.”

Killian and Garrett shift back into men just as the rest of us are nearing the back porch steps. A gust of wind lifts my hair as Emeric lands behind me, his wings casting a shadow around me. The warmth of his arms encircles my body, and I lean into him.

“What’d I miss?”

“Garrett and his brothers are going to help me learn to fight with my magic.”

Emeric grunts. “It’s probably best none of us watch.”

“Agreed.” Garrett nods, walking past us. “You’re all rightfully protective of her, and it’ll only interfere.”

The four of them enter the house to get dressed while Emeric takes my hand and leads us onto the porch.

“You look like you’ve already been fighting.”

“I have been. Garrett scared me at first. He pretended to come onto me, and I was at the point of having to hurt him to get him away from me. Then he came clean on what his intentions were.”

“He came on to you?” Emeric’s jaw tightens.

“Is that jealousy I’m sensing?”

Pulling me onto a chair with him, he strokes my inner thigh. “Damn straight it is, you’re mine, and I’ll only share you with the other four because I have to. I’m not welcoming any other men into our relationship.”

Brushing my fingers through his hair, I gently scratch at his scalp, and he drops his head back and sighs.

“Rest assured, I’m not welcoming any other men into our relationship either.”

Emeric’s eyes close, indulging in the head massage. His mouth tilts into a naughty smirk. “No other men, huh? That mean you’re open to having sex with women?”

Poking him, he lets out a surprised breath, and I laugh.

“You’d like that, wouldn’t you?”

“I wouldn’t turn it down if that’s what you wanted, babe.” He winks, and I smother his smile with my kiss.

“I’m glad you’re back.”

“Miss me?”

“Of course, I did.”

Bringing his hand farther up my thigh, he teases his fingers between my legs.

“Want to leave and have some time alone?”

A breath escapes me at the pleasure his touch incites.

“I do, but I’m waiting for Griffin and Cyrus to return with the ingredients I need to cast a protection spell for all of us. Rain check?”

“We don’t have to leave. How about we have a quickie in the bathroom?”

“Deal.”

Standing, he slaps my ass as I walk ahead of him.

“That ass, baby. Mmm.”

Entering the house, I stifle my giggle as Emeric palms my ass and ushers me into the nearest bathroom. Garrett and Everett glance in our direction and chuckle as they’re walking to the kitchen. Emeric swings the door behind us, then pins me to the counter, lifts me onto it, and buries his face in my neck, licking and kissing as he lifts my shirt up.

Heated breaths escape us as we make quick work undressing the other. Stroking his length in my hand, I watch his eyes burn crimson, and his arousal reach a desperate need. Bringing me down from the counter, he turns my back to him, places a hand around my neck, and thrusts into my wet, aching pussy.

“Fuck, baby, you’re as aroused as I am.” Licking the shell of my ear, he bites, then releases it between his teeth, his fangs grazing my skin and erupting goosebumps along my shoulders. Between my legs, the pleasure is rising, his slick thrusts rocking my body as he holds me tight to him.

“It’s what you do to me.”

Bending me forward, he takes hold of my hips, pounding my ass toward him, each thrust taking me on a glorious high. The wooden door creaks on its hinges. Emeric growls at the intruder. Bennett takes in the scene for a little too long, his eyes transitioning to a bright amber. The apology forms on his mouth, but Emeric doesn’t give him a chance to speak.

“Get the fuck out,” Emeric barks. The door closes shut, and Emeric puts more passion into his thrusts. “Damn wolves.”

The intrusion is quickly forgotten as my moans increase, Emeric’s deep thrusts encouraging my climax. Momentarily, his thrusts slow as I ride out the euphoric sensation. As I come down from my peak of pleasure, his thrusts quicken, and a guttural groan escapes him as he reaches his own orgasm. Leaning over me, he caresses up my side until his palm is cupping a breast. Kisses are placed on my shoulder before he angles my chin for a slow, passionate kiss.

“This is what we needed.”

“Definitely.”

Standing upright, I lean into his open arms. Palming each breast, he massages them, giving extra attention to my sensitive nipples as he kisses me.

“Want to shower together?”

“Hell, yes, I’m already thinking about round two.” Placing two fingers between my ass cheeks, he applies pressure. “Back here.”

“Get the water going.”
