“Mmmmm,” my mate growls as he pulls out of me, the water from the shower washing over both of us.

I nip at his chin as I put my feet on the floor.

“We need to get ready, my mate,” I say, knowing that look in his eyes. It’s the look that he has when he hasn’t had his fill of me yet.

He leans in nipping at my n*eck. I lift my chin, giving him full access to me. “Are you sure?” he asks, his voice husky with desire.

“Something to look forward to after the call?” I say.

“I can be quick,” he says, and I start laughing.

“Oh my love. You can do many things, but making love to me quickly, isn’t one of them.”

“It’s not my fault that you’re so incredible that I can’t enough of you,” he says.

I don’t know how it is that this man, after so many years can still make me crave him like I’m a teenager. But he does and since he does, I turn, arching my back and pushing against him. “Be quick,” I say, looking at him over my shoulder.

“Never,” he growls as he slides himself inside me slowly, making me arch even h*arder.

They have both tried to hide it from me, but I’ve known for years from the way Jace looked at my daughter that they were mates. It took a lot for me not to interfere, but I feel good that I’ve let them figure it out

into the phone. I know instantly that he and my daughter have been together. This trip has been really good for both
