“But what if I—”
“If the shadows follow your instincts, I know they won’t hurt anyone, because I know you, Liv.” He sits back so he can look me in the eyes. “You’re the best person I know, Olivia. You showed me that I have control of my powers, that I wouldn’t let anyone get hurt in the crossfire, and I know the same is true for you.”
“Thank you,” I murmur, leaning forward to capture his lips with my own. The kiss is soft and sweet, so different from the earlier heated, desperate ones.
“Anything for you, princess,” he grumbles as he pulls away. “Now, lean back and let me continue.”
He definitely doesn’t have to tell me twice.
His lips descend on mine again, his tongue sweeping in to caress mine, helping to ease away all the stress and worry that just resurfaced. He picks back up where he left off, dragging the cloth over my lower stomach before dipping lower. I suck in a sharp breath as he runs the cloth over my aching pussy, desire coursing through my veins already just with that small touch.
“Cleaning first,” he says in warning against my lips. He washes me throughly, cleansing away his release from my skin. Before I know it the cloth is floating up to the surface as his fingers take over, rubbing circles on my clit.
“I swear I’m not going to be able to walk after this,” I groan.
“You’re saying that like it’s a bad thing.” He smirks, his eyes lighting in challenge as though he’s daring me to ask him to stop.
There’s no way in hell I’m going to be doing that.
I jerk at his touch, my hips lifting, needing more of the delicious friction as he brings me closer and closer to my release.
“My mate,” he grunts as his fingers send delicious tendrils of desire shooting up my spine.
“Yours,” I agree, loving his possessive edge as he sends me hurtling over that edge. A deep growl rumbles from his chest as he watches me come apart again for him. I tilt my head back, moaning as my core spasms, leaving me in a warm puddle of sated limbs. Slumping against the bathtub, I pull in a ragged breath, desperately trying to fill my lungs as he pulls his hand from the tub.
“Do we really have to join them?” I sigh, already knowing the answer, but I have to ask.
“Yes, princess,” he huffs in amusement, his lips quirking slightly. “But if you get ready now, we might be able to stop and get you a coffee on the way.”
My eyes light up, and I hurriedly wash my legs, already picturing the hot cappuccino as the rich, delicious taste rolls over my tongue. “Sold.”
“I’ll have to remember that next time you’re wasting time,” he chuckles as he grabs another washcloth and heads into the shower.
“The only thing better than coffee is sex, and maybe chocolate.”
“Good to know.” Amusement dances in his eyes as I watch him through the slightly fogged glass, my mouth already going dry as I watch him stroke his cock.
Coffee, I remind myself, and reluctantly pull my gaze away from him as a deep rumble of laughter peels from his lips. Yup, the order is definitely: sex, coffee, and then chocolate.
Chapter Fourteen

“DoIseriouslyneedto go over this again?” Dion groans, placing his hands on his hips as he pins me with a look of exasperation. He obviously doesn’t want to be here.
Well, that makes two of us.
I glance around the training field and look after my new friends with a wistful smile. I really wish they were the ones training me again. At least that was fun.
“If you want me to actually understand what you’re trying to teach me, then yes, you do.” I mimic his stance and stare back at him with an unimpressed look.
I don’t care how high his rank is; if you give me attitude, you’re going to get it right back.
“I will never understand why the gods decided to make you a guardian,” he sneers, shaking his head in disappointment.
“I’ll never understand how the gods put up with your attitude,” I volley back at him, wishing we were doing verbal sparring rather than the physical kind. This I can do all day.
A warm breeze flutters past me, ruffling my ponytail. The air caresses my arm, giving a brief reprieve to the warm afternoon sun.
