“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.

We’ve only just finished and are stepping out of the shower when we hear Mason’s phone begin to ring. He grabs a towel and quickly dries himself as he runs to answer the phone.

Something is wrong. “I need to talk to both of you,” she says. “Where’s Jace?” I ask, worried that something might have happened to him. 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 and it seems like they are finally getting
