“Happy Solstice Day, pet.” Zane’s hand slid between my thighs as I slowly opened my eyes. My bear lay next to me, face down. Every few seconds, a rumbling snore rattled the rickety bedframe, but I didn’t mind. At least he didn’t shed hair like Kenji.
“I heard that, witch.”
“Good. You were supposed to.” I slammed my mental shield down to block Kenji out and hummed with pleasure as Zane’s fingers ghosted over my clit.
“What time is it?” Darkness cloaked the room. Had I woken early for once?
“Around ten a.m.”
I tried to sit up only for Zane to pull me back down. Maverick stirred but didn’t wake. I guessed he hadn’t slept well. Knowing him, he was worried about what lay ahead, especially after Kai’s warning about the cetus.
“We need to get ready to leave,” I protested. It had been too long since I had dreamed of my vampire. Time was running out.
“We’re stuck here for at least today, pet. A fallen tree has blocked the access road. Until care bear moves it, we’re not going anywhere.”
“How do you know?”
“I took a walk late last night.”
I frowned. “Why would you be out so late in the middle of a snowstorm?”
“No reason. Just wanted some fresh air.” He nibbled my neck before sliding one finger inside me. His explanation of needing some fresh air didn’t ring true, but with each shallow thrust, I lost the mental capacity for analytical thought.
A low moan escaped, causing Maverick to stir once again, but to my surprise he still didn’t wake.
The sound of a pan banging in the kitchen distracted me for a moment. Alaric must be making breakfast. He’d taken on the role of cook when Maverick wasn’t around, which surprised me. I’d assumed the mage had chefs to prepare his food at home, like most entitled mages, but he seemed to enjoy cooking.
“Ignore the mage, pet,” Zane whispered in my ear. “He’s jealous.”
How did Alaric know what Zane was doing? The incubus lifted my thigh and pushed inside me. The slow drag of his cock against my sensitive tissues caused me to moan loudly.
“Fuck, you feel so good, pet. So hot and wet and perfect.”
I closed my eyes and let him lead the pace. Maverick would lose his mind if he woke to find the incubus inside me, but I didn’t have the strength to break free.
“Good girl,” Zane purred, his hand squeezing my breast. Sharp teeth nipped the soft skin below my ear, and I yelped. As pleasure consumed me, my magic ignited. Glowing embers burst into life, floating above the bed.
I tried to yank my magic back inside my chest as the amulet between my breasts heated, but nothing worked. A swirling cloud of violet fire consumed us, but Zane didn’t seem concerned.
“Stop! I’m going to burn the cabin down!”
“Shhh. Relax, pet.”
“I can’t!” Panic flared as the bedroom door flew open and hit the wall with a loud bang. My bear sat up with a start, blinking in surprise. When he looked up and saw the flames, he yelped and frantically turned to find me.
“Raven, pull your magic back!” Alaric yelled. “It’s out of control!” He left out theagainbit, but I heard it anyway.
I lost focus when Zane sank his teeth into me while pinching my clit. A powerful burst of magic pulled me into a whirling vortex of pleasure. This was nothing like any orgasm I’d had before.
This one dragged me into a different dimension where a billion stars exploded. Zane groaned in my ear as he followed me over the edge.
It wasn’t until someone ripped me away from the incubus that the bubble burst. When I opened my eyes, the magic storm had vanished, leaving me sprawled over my bear’s chest while the incubus lay on his back with a smug expression on his face.
“Fucking incubus,” Alaric snapped with enough venom to take down an entire wolf pack before he stomped back out of the bedroom. The sound of his cursing from the kitchen ruined my post-orgasm glow, and I huffed out an irritated sigh.
Fucking mage.
I sat on the sofa, staring at a lop-sided tree propped up in a bucket. From the large wet patch on the floor around the bucket, the tree must have been snow-covered when it came indoors.
