“You can’t be flashing those things in my face like that.” He didn’t sound upset about it, though.
“I laughed. I see why I’m driving you crazy now.”
“Keep it up and I’m dragging us out of this tub and taking you to the bed.”
As badly as I wanted him inside me, I also wanted to savor this bath a little longer. Maddox ran his free hand up my waist. It occurred to me that Fenrir could come in and catch us with our pants down—literally. When Maddox touched me, I didn’t have a care in the world.
Every little fear fled from my mind. My eyes nearly rolled back when Maddox flicked my nipple with his thumb. I couldn’t see any ghosts if my eyes were closed, so I let my eyelids droop as Maddox pulled my nipple into his mouth. He teased it with his tongue until I let out a low moan that echoed in the small bathroom.
All the while, I kept my grip on his other hand. No matter what, he was under my control. Maddox only did what I allowed him to do. After having almost no control in my day-to-day life, this was an intoxicating experience. I claimed his other wrist and pinned it above his head while he kept working with his mouth.
“Just like that,” I moaned when he flicked his tongue over my nipple and sent a wave of pleasure through me.
Gods with dirty secrets and manipulative ways couldn’t do anything to stop us from enjoying ourselves in the middle of Ragnarök. The thought made me laugh. The sound turned breathy when Maddox bit down. Pain and pleasure mingled into a thrilling sensation.
“Take me to bed,” I commanded.
So much for the bath. I couldn’t take it any longer. I needed him inside me like I needed air to breathe. If I didn’t get release, I would shatter.
Maddox lifted us both from the bath. We dripped, leaving a trail from bathroom to bedroom. I cared little when he threw me onto the mattress and left a wet stain on the bed. If it became too much of a mess, we could jump a portal to his place where there was an even bigger bed.
No ghosts bothered us while we made love. I was allowed to put my whole focus on Maddox. I told him exactly what I wanted and how I wanted it, and he obliged with eagerness. By the end, I was languid and boneless in a way that I hadn’t felt since I took advantage of the free massage coupons my boss gave us.
He collapsed beside me, his chest rising and falling from the effort he’d put in. A wide smile curled across his lips. He reached over and pushed my hair out of the way of my face. Sweat clung to my skin and made his touch slick.
“Maybe we should finish what we started,” he said with a chuckle in his voice.
“I’m thinking we should shower this time. Maybe we’ll be able to focus on getting clean.”
I was very wrong. We emptied the tub and drew the shower curtain as the water heated up again. Our naked bodies were distracting. I ran my fingers along the scars on Maddox’s skin which made him shudder and growl hungrily.
He probably needed sustenance, but I had him trapped in here with me, feeding my needs instead. When Maddox slowed, I poured arcana into him. When his cock tried to admit defeat, I raised it from the dead once again.
I’d gotten a taste of sex—specifically, sex with someone I loved more than anything—and now I could not get enough. The way Maddox touched me, his hands tight on my body like he never wanted to let go, I got the feeling that he felt very much the same. There was no future in which we could be separated, no future where we could get enough of each other.
Buried deep between my legs, Maddox paused. He cradled me close with an arm slung around my lower back so I could wrap my legs around him. With his free hand, he cupped my chin and tilted my head back. I met his dark gaze and felt a spark of fire dance deep in my core.
“You belong to me,” he growled, the light of his beast in his eyes.
I laughed, giddy. “And you belong tome.”

“Holy shit.”Ness’s jaw nearly hit the floor. “You’re not even the same person anymore. Who here knew that good dick could transform a woman?”
Vi raised her hand and snickered. I reached over and smacked Vi’s hand down. My face warmed.
“Ness has a point,” Vi added. “Your pussy changed him, too. That man has looked like a walking corpse fordays. All of a sudden, he looks like a living human being again. Whatever you did, it cured that man.”
I’d called on my friends for help, but they were too busy teasing me to give any actual assistance. Cerri grinned from the side. The expression was tight. I wanted to assure her that it was only a matter of time until she found her life-partner, too.
There was no way to know unless…
No. It was bad enough that I’d tampered with fate to change my own future. I couldn’t go around messing with every set of fate threads I could get my hands on, even if it was for my friends. What if I bound Cerri to a bad guy? What if I gave her the worst man in existence?
I couldn’t risk making a mistake like that.
I could, however, turn our attention back to the problem at hand so that Cerri could go back to her own life. If we handled Fenrir, then Cerri could go speed dating or something. I didn’t know how she preferred to date. I’d never really seen her take interest in men. She’d always been too busy with her potions.
