Of course it is, my love. This is your home, your wing. Your place.

Kieran had to make Lachlan understand.Yes, but I’ve never felt that way anywhere before. Ever.

Then I’m glad you found us. Thank goodness. I needed you in my life.

I needed you too. Soon we’ll all nap and enjoy some time together, but then I want it to be just the three of us.

Anything you want, love. Anything at all.

They smiled at each other, then moved back to entertain their family, knowing soon they would be back in each others’ arms. Kieran couldn’t wait.

Chapter

Fourteen

Lachlan prowled the house, the silence broken only by the creak of floorboards and the wind outside.

Micah had been cranky for two days, and Kieran was exhausted from being up with him, so Alban had Micah tonight, since he’d calmed down, and Lachlan was letting Kieran sleep.

He was… restless.

But he could hear Kieran muttering in his sleep, so he went back to the bedroom, standing at the edge of the bed and examining his lover.

Kieran turned toward him, frowning deep as he pushed closer.

“Shhh.” He coasted a hand over Kieran’s back, and his lover was hot as fire. Oh, no. Was he ill? Even magical creatures could have a fever.

Kieran groaned, eyes cracking open as he lifted his face for a kiss. “Mmm…mate.”

“Hello, love.” He bent to give it. “You’re burning up.”

“I feel like I’m on fire inside. I want you, hmm? More than breathing.”

“Do you? You can have me any time you want me.” He slid off his robe and crawled back into bed.

“Oh.” Kieran moved to straddle him as soon as he settled, rocking their bodies together.

His eyes widened, and he grabbed Kieran’s slim hips. “Oh, that’s lovely.”

“Uh-huh. I ache for you. All of me. I ache for every inch of you.”

“Then take what you need, love.” He stretched out long under Kieran, offering everything.

Kieran gave him an unexpectedly wicked smile. “Spread your wings for me. When you knot me, I want you to hold me with them.”

That idea warmed him all the way to his toes, putting a fire in his belly. Fuck, yes. Lachlan rolled them so he was on top, then spread his wings, letting them snap out to their full length, the shadow of them filling the space on the wall behind the bed.

Kieran moaned for him, eyes rolling up for a second before fastening back to his face. “Do you know how incredibly hot that is?”

The words moved like lightning, going straight to his balls, because his wings were the things that made him different, made him not fit in, and his mate loved them. That made him… so proud.

He grabbed Kieran’s ass, lifting him up so they could rub together. “If you think so, that’s all that matters, my love.”

“I know so.” Kieran was wet for him, and the scent of needy omega was enough to make his eyes cross.

He kissed that sweet mouth, feeling the need that raced through his mate at the press of their lips together. He could barely breathe from the desire flaring through him.

Kieran writhed underneath him like they were trying desperately to spark off a fire.
