“Caro? I’m not asking you to do that! Never, baby!”
He stalked towards her again. Pushing the coffee table across the room with barely any effort, he grabbed her by the arms. His touch was firm, but gentle, and she knew it cost him to hold back with his chest heaving and eyes glowing.
“Stop it. Don’t play with me,” she whispered, but he was relentless.
“You think I am playing? Carolina,youare my fated mate. Don’t you know that?”
“What?” she asked, and the struggle went out of her.
“From the second I saw your picture in that dossier, I knew you were the one for me. I could hardly keep my hands off you. Fuck, woman, don’t you know how damn much I need you?”
“You do?”
“Need you, want you,” he whispered and touched her shoulders, her neck, her face. He made sure she was looking at him while he stole a kiss or three. “I want you all the time, baby. I love you. I love you so much, Carolina,” he growled and lifted her in his arms, and she was like putty in them.
Molding herself to his frame, she laughed through her tears, leaning into his kiss. She wrapped her legs around his waist and let her heart soar with love for him.
But wasshereally his mate? As if on cue, Jennifer opened the new door that had somehow been put up during the time she’d spent in the bedroom.
“Hey, that is enough. This is my cabin, for fuck’s sake!”
Jasper spun around and growled, deep and low. For a moment, she was afraid he would hurt her friend. But Caro should’ve remembered what Jennifer was. With a loud screech, the Owl Shifter cut off the Wyvern’s growling.
“Okay, Caro, so you understand what Jasper meant when he said all those things to you?”
“What?” she blinked slowly, trying to come out of the sex fog she was currently in.
“Jasper!” Jennifer yelled. “Do you do anything I ask? He didn’t explain a darn thing, did he?”
Carolina bit her lip and shook her head. She yelped when he pinched her butt in retaliation for ratting him out, but the soft caress he gave her made up for it. She smiled and waited.
“Okay, knock that off! I mean, yuck. Now, Caro, you’re experiencing mating fever. The big, what was it Medjed called him—oh yeah—lizard breathhere is your fated mate. That means he will want, need, and love you for the rest of both your lives—which by the way, once he claims you, ties you to his life force and so, yeah, you will live longer too.”
“Really?” she said and looked at Jasper, seeing the truth in his golden stare.
“Yes. If you accept my claim, I will share my life with you. Please say yes, Caro. I love you so much, mate,” he growled the word.
“Will you have me?” he asked.
“Of course, I will. I love you too,” she confessed.
“Wait!” Jennifer yelled as he walked out the door with Carolina in his arms.
But it seemed Jasper wasn’t waiting for anyone. One second, he was holding her in his arms and the next, he’d turned into his beast. Carolina was clutched against his body, held between both powerful legs, and he was flying them—well—she did not know where.
Carolina giggled as the world sped by, a winter wonderland of snow and ice. She even thought she saw a certain sled flying by, being pulled by some truly magical looking beasts.
“OHMYGAWD! Is that Santa?”
Jasper’s Wyvern loosed a shriek followed by a stream of golden flame, which she took to mean yes. She knew she should be afraid, but how could she be when he was the one holding her? Loving this magical world he was showing her, she rubbed his leg with her hand.
Do not worry, love. I have you,Jasper’s voice spoke into her mind, and her pulse sped up.
“Jasper?” she called his name, but the wind swallowed the sound of her voice.
You have but to think, and I will hear you when I am in this form. Telepathic communication is one benefit of being mated to a Wyvern, he added.
Oh. Wow, she thought at him.Where are you taking us?
