“Plan C?”

“Yeah. What about if we get all these powerful witches you know and they come here to recreate the first spell. We find two new crystals, or if that doesn’t work, we find four new crystals and redo everything.”

Shane stared at the crackling fire for a moment. “That isn’t a bad idea.”

I smiled at him. “I’m not too bad.”

He chuckled. “You’re not bad at all.” He snaked his arm around my waist and pressed his mouth to mine. “By the way, you lied before.”

“I did?” My eyes bugged. Was he talking the shadows now? “About what?”

“That no one wanted to get into the omega’s pants.” He lifted his index finger. “You couldn’t have known, but I did. I really did.” I rolled my eyes. He raised his middle finger. “And Roman. He wanted to get into your pants since you were a teenager and he still wants to.”

I narrowed my eyes at him. “Do I hear jealousy in your voice?”

“No!” he said quickly. “I mean, I’m your mate, you’re here with me, aren’t you? But still, I don’t like the way he looks at you. I can’t wait until we can tell everyone you’re mine.”

“Do you want to talk about the way Roman looks at me. How about how Lucille looks at you? The way she touches you, bats her eyelashes at you, the way she brings you lunch … I would do that if people wouldn’t be suspicious.”

“Now who's jealous?” I punched his shoulder and he laughed. “I kind of like you jealous. Maybe I should spend more time with Lucille and—”

I punched him again. “Don’t you dare.”

Growing serious, Shane cupped my face. “Don’t be jealous of her. She’s barely my friend now. You’re the one I want. You’re my mate and nothing will change that.”

He pressed his mouth to mine. I parted my lips to him and let him kiss me, just as breathlessly as he always did. I would never get used to how good this felt, to the deep, warm feeling in my chest tugging me toward him.

I felt as his desire manifested itself under me.

Emboldened, I took control of the kiss, of the entire situation. Without breaking the kiss, I spun on his lap and straddled him. I held on to his shoulders as I adjusted myself and slipped him inside me.

I moaned against his mouth as he filled me, as the delicious sensation began anew, and the fire burned inside me.

“Holy shit,” he whispered, clasping my waist and changing his legs position.

I started moving. Up and down, taking him deeper and deeper. I pulled back and stared at him, at this handsome man under me, at how his mouth was parted, at how he stared at me with such desire in his eyes, how he groaned every time I pushed down until he was buried inside me.

I stared back at him, such a powerful energy passing between our gazes, and I kept moving, faster and faster. I opened my knees a little more, and somehow he went even deeper. A delicious shiver ran down my spine.

“Raika,” he said with a growl. “This is so fucking good.”

“I know.” I leaned back, and dear moon, that took us even deeper. The friction was too much. His glistening naked body was too much. His intense stare was too much.

I wanted to drown in this sensation.

With a cry, I came. My body broke out in tremors and I did my best not to stop moving, but I lost to the ecstasy. Shane’s hands around my waist tightened and he moved his hips up to meet mine, and each time he did, I trembled again, my climax renewed.

Then he encircled his arm like a vice around my waist and buried his head on my chest as he climaxed. He held me tight against him until his tremors faded.

I stayed right there, not willing to move from above him, to unglue my body from his.

Shane looked at me. He brushed my hair back from my sweaty face. He fixed his intense gaze on mine. “I don’t want to scare you, I know you’re just getting used to this mating thing, and to me, but I need you to know … I love you.”

My chest tightened with a dozen unspoken feelings. “I love you too,” I whispered, and it was the damn truth. I knew half of this was the mating bond’s doing, but the other half was us, him. Shane was turning out to be a great alpha and I was proud of him.

I really did love him.

Shane’s smile brightened and he embraced me, his arms tight around me.
