Raine hugged her. “I want you. I need you safe. Killian’s interest in you will concern Maddock. It might be best if we keep this altercation between the two of us until we find out what the reapers want with you.”
“No problem. I have no desire to tell Maddock anything.”
“Keeping Maddock in the dark is not ideal, and you will have to cease your animosity toward him. Our future is with the shadow wolves. I hope you can see that.”
She sighed. “I do like Darren.”
Raine stilled against her. “You better mean that as a friend.”
She winked at him. “So easy.”
“Teasing a shadow wolf is inadvisable. You may not be prepared for the consequences.” His eyes pulsed with blue fire.
“I think we’ve established that getting into trouble is my specialty.”
Raine laughed. “You plan to make every moment we spend together a challenge, don’t you?”
She frowned. “Well, yeah, isn’t that what I’m supposed to do?”
He kissed her forehead. “Apparently so. Let’s get back to the caves before Maddock realizes you are gone.” He led her to the corner of the building, where the dark shadows beckoned. “Would you like to travel the pathways, or would you prefer to walk?”
“I thought I couldn’t travel them until I am fully trained?”
“I’m an alpha. I can hold your form and mine while we travel through the stream,” Raine said.
Dannika sighed. “I’m so tired. I’d like to get back as quick as possible.”
Raine nodded. “My shadow will reach for yours. All you have to do is accept my shadow. Don’t fight him when he takes control.”
“As long as there’s a bed at the end of this tunnel, I’m good.” She looked up at him. “Do I have a bed? Do I have a room?”
His smile was wicked. “You live with me, and yes, we have a bed, though, at full strength, we require little sleep.”
The sensation of her molecules dissolving reminded her of evaporating water. Tendrils of dark smoke wrapped around her, mixing with Raine. She felt separated but whole. Powerful and invisible. If she wasn’t so tired, she would’ve taken more time to investigate the process.
She felt the exact moment Raine’s shadow took control of hers. It was a whirlwind of power, but he handled her with velvet strength, wrapping her in a cocoon of his dark power. They shot through the shadow pathways, connecting from one stream to another with lightning speed. A zipline of highways only creatures of the night could travel.
While her exit from the shadow caves had seemed stealthy and slick, she realized she was like a doe taking its first steps compared to Raine. The shadow streams seemed to move at his command, a rock skittering across a flat body of water as if God had thrown the stone.
Her hunger built, but it wasn’t for food. Raine’s desire for her amplified her own. Without their bodies, there was only sensation and hunger. Power and strength. Lust and desire.
When Raine emerged from the shadows and their bodies reformed, her hand slipped down his stomach under his waistband. She grasped his thick cock, squeezing it in her hand.
She sucked in her breath when he moaned. “I’m sorry. I don’t know what came over me.”
He kissed her, making her blood sing with desire. “Our hunger is more intense when we are in shadow form. Food and sex are primal. Our urges are not to be ignored.”
The tension in Dannika’s body increased as they made it to their room. By the time Raine opened the door, the pulsing hunger bordered on pain. Raine had to steady her when she stumbled on the carpet. Her tense muscles relaxed as she licked his skin.
She nuzzled the crook of his neck, nipping his earlobe, and moaned. He quickly unsheathed the dagger strapped to his belt and placed it in a black ivory box. Then he kissed her.
The intoxicating taste was nothing compared to his tongue as it swept through her lips. She caught it , sucking hard, as he groaned into her mouth.
“I need you,” he said as he ripped the shirt from her body to massage her breasts. The seductive feel of his fingers had her pushing his pants from his hips before doing the same with hers.
His mouth fastened to hers. Hot. Hungry. Demanding. He backed her away from the piles of clothing to the couch, laying her down as he continued his foray.
Raine’s hands were everywhere, intimately exploring every inch of her skin. His mouth was magical, licking and sucking her skin, sending shivers of pleasure wherever he touched. He was a wizard with her under his spell.
