Stars explode behind my closed eyelids as I come hard, panting his name, writhing against his fingers on my clit, my skin tingling beneath his hot, ragged breath on my neck.
His deep, long low fills my ear as he comes. His massive cock throbs inside me, then I’m coming again, my body flying high on cum coating the deepest parts of me.
His cock slips out of me, and what feels like endless cum oozes from me, running down the insides of my thighs and?—
“Oh no, the couch,” I say, shifting quickly, but it’s too late. Puddles of white are all over the earthy-gray velour. “Yikes. That’s going to leave a mark.”
Constantine’s rumbling silent laughter vibrates through me as he pulls me against him, then onto the other side of the L-shaped couch, where he lays us out together in a beautifully entwined embrace, nuzzling my hair and neck before kissing me softly. “All that matters is the mark you left on my heart, sweet Natalie.”
“It matches the one you made on mine,” I whisper, snuggling in, soaking in the rightness of being with my mate.
The call, and everything else in the world, can wait a while longer.

The next day
NATALIE
“They’re still not picking up,” I say to Constantine after my third attempt to call my parents. “Twice yesterday, and now this. I keep getting their voicemail.”
“But they replied to your text last night. They’re probably going through spotty service areas.”
Nodding, I set my phone down. Logically, I know he’s right. My parents have never been the kind of people to be glued to their phones. Tech is a convenience, a means to be in touch with me, not part of their daily lives. Especially since they downsized their possessions and stress levels and hit the road. More than ever, they’re all about slowing down, taking the path less followed, and connecting with the world around them. They’d probably love it here in Fate’s Falls.
I may have inherited some fairy DNA from my dad, but I did not get the “relax and be chill” gene from either parent, so I pick up my phone and check it again. No missed calls. No new voicemails. I tap the group text I have with both of them, rereading our exchange from last night. Well, their exchange, really. They’re honestly the cutest.
Hi, Mom! Hi, Dad! I can’t wait to hug you! And I have news. Great news. Call me when you get to Kelowna so we can arrange a place to meet.
Mom:
Hi honey! We’re planning to do some night driving so we can get to you sooner. Love you!
Dad:
Don’t worry, I’m doing the night driving, not your mom. The wildlife population is counting on me.
Mom:
It was one raccoon, fifteen years ago. And it ran out in front of my car as if it had a death wish. My poor little Toyota was never the same.
Dad:
I’m still doing the night driving.
Dad:
See you tomorrow, sweetie! Can’t wait to hear your news!
Constantine is right. My parents are fine. They’re not avoiding my calls, just driving along and watching the world go by. They’ll phone when they get to Kelowna, then I’ll head down and meet them. I’ll tell Dad I know about his fairy heritage, then share my great news—I have a fated mate! I’m in love with a Minotaur! No big deal. Except it’s a huge deal. A tall, furry, horned and hooved, huge deal.
I slump over the kitchen island, my forehead pressed to the cool granite. Constantine’s hand on my back settles my anxious mind instantly, each gentle pass up and down my spine further easing the tension.
“Are you expecting Rosetta?” he asks when the doorbell chimes.
I sit up straight, checking my phone again to see if I missed a message from her. “No. We’re not getting together until tomorrow afternoon to make wedding favors.”
His heavy brow lowers over narrowed eyes. “I don’t know what ‘wedding favors’ are. That must be a human thing.”
