Shock reverberated through me when Roman merely stood, his bright eyes focused solely on Leah as if I were no consequence. “Guess I’ll make myself scarce,” he said, tone casual, as he left the room.

My baffled expression must have been clear because Leah’s lips twitched into a soft smile. She took my hand, leading me over to the cozy window seat, where we sat down together.

“What just happened?” I asked, still reeling. “I thought Roman would at least hit me, if not tear me to pieces for telling his wife I loved her.”

Leach giggled, a soft, melodious sound that made my heart flutter. “Umm, Roman and I being together is rather out-of-date information.”

My heart raced with astonishment and hope. “What do you mean?”

“Wewereengaged as teenagers when I was fifteen,” Leah explained, her tone taking on a more serious note. “But Roman called it off back then when he fell in love with someone else.Since then, we’ve been siblings in spirit, something that has made the last few weeks a real strain for myanuk.”

When Leah called the Blood Moon Alpha, brother, warmth blossomed in my chest. Her blue gaze now swam with a lovely openness. “Ever since I returned, Roman’s been super protective of me. He thought the best way to shield me from a mate bond I didn’t want was to pose as my partner.”

Comprehension settled over me, every piece of the past slotting into place. I looked down at her fingers intertwined with mine, marveling at the sight and feel of her hand intertwined with mine, marveling at the warmth and softness of her touch. But along with relief, a deep sense of shame pooled within me. “I’m so sorry you felt you needed protecting from our bond. If I had nourished it properly, then you wouldn’t have had to rope your family into protecting you. But I’m so glad you’ve had Roman. You deserve unconditional love. If you’ll let me, I promise to love you, support you, and be here for you, always,Ilak.”

My gaze was reverent as I made my vow. The goddess’s word for mate tasted sweet on my lips.

Leah’s eyes swam with tears, and I tenderly wiped them away, my heart clenching as she allowed her vulnerability to surface again. She hadn’t cried during Lina’s treatments. She was always so strong, so resilient. Yet now she was granting me another gift—her trust—a priceless treasure I didn’t deserve but that I swore I’d spend the rest of my life earning.

Overwhelmed by emotion, it felt like a river that had broken its banks, my words tumbling out as I wanted to tell her everything. “I want to spend all day long hearing about the herbs you love; I want to bask in your smiles and laughter like they’re the sun; Iwant to weave more perfect moments together, just as we have in this room, building a future for you, me, and Lina.”

The depth of love in her eyes was the most beautiful thing in the world. She released my hand, gently cupping my face and down to her until our mouths met. Her lips kissed me as tenderly as they had here weeks ago. But this kiss wasn’t driven by the primal need of our wolves, nor was it mixed with our daughter’s need. This was the pure, sweet longing of two mates reconnecting.

I inhaled her intoxicating wildflower scent, feeling my wolf stir beneath my skin, urging me to pull her closer, to lose myself in her. But I held back, needing to show her I could give her the tenderness she deserved. I wanted to devour her mouth, and my hands wanted to roam over her curves, but I forced myself to slow down, savoring every sweet brush of her lips against mine.

As we parted for breath, her voice, muddled with desire, demanded in a sultry whisper, “Kiss me harder, Kyle.” Gladly, I did just that, sucking on her tongue as our kisses quickly grew more heated. She nibbled my lip, and soon, we were devouring one another as if we’d never get enough. As she moaned into my mouth, one of my hands fell through her silken tresses, and along with the passion, tenderness stirred.

“I love plaiting your hair,” I whispered against the column of her neck, tracing kisses down it as I wound my fingers through her hair. Unable to resist, I tugged on the silky locks, the wolf in me wanting to have her lovely neck open to me. That exposed flash of skin was a sign of trust that excited my beast.

Leah moved and suddenly straddled me, her robe slipping open slightly to reveal the perfect swell of her breasts, the soft fabricbarely concealing her nipples, which peeked through the thin vest underneath.

“Make love to me,Ilak,” she murmured, her heavy-lidded eyes glazed with pure desire. “Quietly,” she reminded me, her eyes darting toward Lina, sleeping in the bassinet by the bed.

My gaze feasted on her body, a combination of reverence and hunger. I indulged for a moment, letting my hands roam her bare legs, and then I untied the sash at her waist, enjoying the way her robe pooled around her. With a swift motion, I peeled off the vest, cupping one of her beautiful breasts, feeling the familiar softness beneath my fingers. They felt a little fuller, too, a testament to her motherhood.

Leah rocked back and forth on me, finding friction against my hardness through my jeans, and it was all I could do to stop myself from taking her right then and there. In an instant, I lifted her into my arms, her legs wrapping around my waist as her warmth enveloped me.

With tenderness, I brought her over to the bed, laying her down. My gaze raked over her perfect body, mesmerized once more that she was mine. I kissed my way up the inside of her legs, loving the little moans and gasps she gave me. I teased the back of her knees, caressing and licking her sensitive skin. “Kyle, please,” she moaned, her husky tone sending a shiver down my spine, igniting that primal need within me to take more.

My fingertips grazed up her thigh, and I groaned, feeling the lace trim of her underwear. “Can I touch you,Ilak?” I asked, my voice both earnest and low with longing.

Her answer came as she guided my hand under the hem of her underwear, and I groaned deeply with satisfaction as I slid myfingers through her warmth, burying two digits inside her. The feeling of her wetness and heat sent a jolt of desire right down to my dick. It pulsed with urgency against my jeans.

Letting her set the pace, I watched her as she rode my fingers, feeling each delicious tremor ripple through her. Her hand fell away, going heavy with pleasure. I took over, plunging deeper still and crooking my fingers so that I touched every sensitive nerve, triumph swelling in my chest as I coaxed soft cries from her.

She swallowed down her cry, fighting to keep the noise to a minimum. I felt her inner walls tremble around my fingers, the warmth of her clenching tighter around me as she arched off the bed. Leah was already greedily reaching for me, and I knew she wanted to rid me of my clothes. But I wasn’t ready yet; I needed to savor her and explore every exquisite inch of her.

With a gentle tug, I slid off her underwear, trailing kisses down her inner thighs until I reached the sweet, glistening core of her. With a hunger borne of a deep primal need, I plunged my tongue into her, making her whimper. Her body responded instinctively, writhing as she rode my mouth. As her beautiful body shook around me once more, a hum of approval rang through me, the taste of her coming on my tongue sating something deep within me.

The next moment, Leah grasped my hand, pulling me up beside her. Her stormy eyes gleamed with determination as she took off my clothes, effortlessly laying me bare before her. “I need you in me,Ilak,” she all but growled, her voice thick with need and urgency.

My heart raced at the raw lust in her tone. I surrendered to her, mesmerized by the thrilling depths of her eyes.

In a moment, I was sprawled out beneath her, and she aligned herself perfectly, sliding onto my cock, taking each inch of me. I groaned in bliss as her warmth and slickness enveloped me, stretching to accommodate me completely. Grabbing handfuls of her soft ass, I hummed lowly in appreciation. “Leah, by the goddess, you feel so damn perfect.”

I moved her up and down my shaft as she allowed me to set the pace this time. I gasped as she rolled her hips. Each thrust felt electric, sending ecstasy roiling through my body. Her glorious tits bounced as she rocked, and I captured one with my fingers, ducking up to suck the other, making her smother another cry. She arched her back more, exposing her throat to me, her beautiful bare body arcing like a crescent moon.

Leah rocked back and forth, riding me slow and deep, and I bit my lip, struggling against the urge to let go and surrender to the overwhelming sensation. I wanted her to make her see stars once again before I found my release, to know that I’d brought her over that heavenly precipice once more. My fingers found her clit, and each moan confirmed I was drawing closer to her climax. Then, in that glorious moment, as Leah trembled and gasped around me, I surrendered to the sensation, our cries intertwining in a breathless climax.
