“Oh, god,” I moaned.
I didn’t think it was possible, but he began to move faster, keeping time with his touches of my clit, until I couldn’t think. All I could do was take one breath in and one breath out, as pleasure shocked my body over and over again. The pressure built, higher and higher, until I came, crying out my bliss.
He followed after me, holding me steady even as his pleasure overrode him. He leaned his head against the wall near my head. “You are incredible, luv.”
I’d barely caught my breath, but with that vaguely accented endearment, I was breathless again. The magic had called us together, but there was something amazing here. I had never been pleasured so well, and I was just starting to get to know him. After seeing his size, I hadn’t even thought he would fit, but he had, and I’d felt full and complete in a way I never had before.
Levi turned off the water and dried us both off with another of the large fluffy towels. Then he swung me up in his arms and carried me to his bed. The sheets were black silk and were so soft against my skin, I’d never felt better. He held me in his arms as I drifted off to sleep.
When I woke, there were several people at the end of the bed screaming at me, including my sister Phoebe.

I crossed my arms over my chest and scowled at the woman on the bed. Of course, I knew her name now, but I still thought of her as “that woman.” I was determined to ignore the string of orange magic that connected us. Until she proved herself trustworthy, I couldn’t be sure that she wasn’t behind the attacks on the aquarium. And if it was Lambert? a little voice asked inside of me. My old mentor had done me dirty in so many ways. I wouldn’t put it past him to have followed me to Silver Springs and decided to muck up my plans.
Well, I huffed to myself, maybe she was working for my old mentor, and that whole running from him thing had been a sham. Maybe the magical connection was something he concocted too, the manipulative old bastard.
Now Levi had gone and slept with her. That couldn’t be good.
I’d opened my mouth to say something, but her sister was already shouting.
“Delphy, how could you not text me or call me or anything? I was worried sick!” She waved her finger at Delphine threateningly. “I could kill you.”
Delphine clutched the comforter around herself—although I glimpsed pale pink shoulders—and glared at her sister. “You were busy. I didn’t think you’d notice.”
I had to smirk. Her tone was petulant, like a child caught doing wrong. I was so glad I’d never had any siblings. Delphine might have been right about them being a pain in the ass. Since her sister had the nagging well in hand, I spent my time eying her tousled hair and the soft curve of her neck. I wondered what it had been like to kiss those sweet pink lips, and run fingers over her shoulders and stroke her breastbone. I had to shift my stance, adjusting myself, and I was grateful all of Delphine’s attention was on her sister. This spell was incredibly strong.
But I did meet Levi’s eyes as he appeared in the doorway to the bathroom. He smirked at me then surveyed the two sisters. He wore only his gray sweatpants and lounged against the door. He looked like nothing more than a satisfied cat.
“How’d you find her?” he asked, giving me a pointed look.
The magic had connected him too after all. I’d heard about the Silver Springs women and their multiple mates, but I’d never thought it would happen to me. Oddly, I didn’t feel jealous so much as I only wanted in on the action. Could it have been as simple as that? A fated mate spell that brought lovers together, and not the same work as the aquarium mishaps? I shook myself. I wasn’t worthy of a soulmate. I’d done too many awful things in my life, mostly because of Lambert, but still I had done them.
“Well?” Levi asked again.
“Cinbad has been stalking outside the door all night,” I muttered. “She doesn’t seem very happy about your guest.” I expected the sister to keep on ranting at Delphine, but she’d frozen at Levi’s appearance and was apparently drooling. I poked her with my finger.
“Delphy,” she said slowly. “You know I don’t care who you sleep with”—she eyed Levi again and licked her lips—“but just let me know where you are so I don’t worry.”
“I know, Phoebe, I’m sorry.” She looked genuinely contrite. The sisters’ bond was stronger than I thought.
“Okay,” Phoebe said, accepting the apology. “I’m heading to Peppers to get to work. I guess I’ll see you there?”
Delphine nodded.
Phoebe turned and marched out of the room. I scowled after her. I’d thought she was going to take Delphine—when did I stop calling her “that woman”?—with her.
Levi crossed to the bed and sat down on the edge. He kissed her deeply, and she responded, curling her arms around his back. The comforter dipped, revealing the pink rose of her nipples, and I nearly groaned. I’d been able to keep my distance before because she’d been clothed.
Breaking off their kiss, Levi eyed me. “Are you going to join us?”
Delphine’s mouth opened in a little “o” but she looked at me.
Her gaze scanned me from head to toe, and my cock hardened. I wanted her, that was the truth, but I didn’t want to. What if she was a spy? A betrayer? Even worse, what if she wasn’t? The magic tugged at me, but I forced myself to scowl.
“Take care of your damn cat,” I muttered, and turned on my heel and left.
Delphine
