Chapter 84

I’m shocked, however, when I wake up a few hours later to find that we did not, indeed, go to the dream state. I spend a moment wondering what happened but then…well, I guess we didn’t need to, did we? Not curled up as we were all night long, tangled up in each other, sharing our dreams in a completely different way.

So I just smile at my still–sleeping mate, admiring the sweep of his long eyelashes in the dark–blue light of early dawn. After a moment, though, I attune my hearing, wanting to know if Rafe and Jesse are up if we’ve been caught…

But no, I can hear them both still breathing the slow, heavy breaths that suggest they’ve slept soundly through the night. And so I risk it, turning over in my mate’s arms and wrapping his arm around me, pressing my back to his front and giving him a mental nudge down the bond, waking him up.

Instantly, Luca’s arms tighten, pulling me closer against him. He takes a moment to come back to consciousness and I can almost feel him blinking awake before he dips his head, pressing a kiss to the back of my neck.

Morning, gorgeous, he murmurs, his voice somehow still thick with sleep even though it’s only sounding in my mind. I like waking up like this.

Me too, I say back, happiness thrumming through me.

I especially like this part, he says, his mental voice lazy and warm as his hand drifts down to my hip and pulls my ass back hard against him. My eyes fly wide as I instantly go fully awake when I feel the long length of him hard against my ass.

I mean, I’ve gotten used to it in the dream state but…this is definitely the first time that I’ve felt it in person. And honestly, after all of that dream practice…

I have to admit, I don’t hate it. I arch my back a little, pressing myself tighter against him, letting him feel all of me against all of him.

Luca groans quietly, half in my mind and half in real life and I bite my lip for the joy of it, the sheer pleasure of turning my mate on, making him want me. His hips buck slightly as he buries his face against my neck, his hand slipping from my hip upwards along my skin,
