If anyone actually deserves that fate, it’s her mother and this male.

GAMES WE PLAY

SHAYLA

My bonding with Arden actually shook the earth. Fortunately, he assures me we didn’t do too much damage.

Recovering from that intense bonding, I nap a bit on top of my druid.

Mydruid.

Completely mine.

I nuzzle into him. His hands stroke up and down from my thighs to my neck, sending shivers and goosebumps over my skin.

“You need to see Landis again, huh?” he asks.

I thank Goddess that he doesn’t sound jealous.

“I don’t want to move from this spot, but I would like to see him soon. I only gave him a quick kiss before you dragged me off into the woods to ravage me.”

“Fair enough,” he chuckles. “But I missed you. I’ve been worried sick.”

“I’m sorry… for all of it. When I followed Rourke out of the ball, I didn’t know that our lives would blow up.”

“It would have happened soon enough anyway, I think.” Arden sends his healing energy into me, and any soreness I have from his generous size fades.

“Hmm. I kind of liked the feeling that you had been inside me.”

“I can fix that by taking your sweet cunt again.”

“Naughty druid.” I giggle.

He sits, and I end up straddled over his crotch.

“It seems you weren’t joking,” I say as his dick pokes into my backside.

“I will serve your needs whenever and however I can—and as many times as I can.”

I imagine all kinds of sexy scenarios, but I push that aside for now so I can focus on getting to my incubus. He can magically feed off all my dirty thoughts too.

“Are you sure you don’t mind? I hate to cut our alone time short.”

“He’ll be upset if we wait too long to return.” His fingers touch the spot where Branden has claimed me. “You trusthimnow?”

“I do.” I exhale. “Through the bond, I know he truly cares for me.”

“But what about his…connectionto Rourke?”

I hear in his voice that he knew about the more intimate aspect of their relationship. “Am I the only dummy that didn’t see it?”

“My magic is in bonds, remember?” He lightly strokes the place over my heart where he’s marked me as his. “I’m sorry, but I didn’t think it was my place to tell you. Besides, you had so much more than their shit to deal with.”

I don’t argue with that. I was so caught up with everything, including their confusing attitudes toward me, that I didn’t have time to guess they were an item.

Out of seemingly nowhere, Arden has a towel in his hand. He wipes away the evidence of our lovemaking from both of us.
