Chester’s lips twisted in a wry grin. “A sexy surprise grenade?”

“Yes. Much better than the regular kind, I find. Although those can be handy too in the right situation.” Concern erased his mirth as he came to crouch beside us. “You are looking a bit green. Want some ginger tea? I’ve heard that helps.”

My ire at him vanished. That was the thing few realised about Logan. His snark and inappropriateness hid the biggest heart I’d come across. There was little he wouldn’t do for those he cared about.

Including skinning anyone who hurt them. Caring, yes. Slightly disturbed? Also yes.

We wouldn’t have him any other way.

“I’m okay.” Chester smiled at Logan. “Thank you. I just need to get used to it, I guess.”

My heart warmed as it did every time Chester casually talked about the future. With the declarations we’d just made, it was something I could let myself get used to.

I was one lucky shifter.

I lifted his hand and kissed his palm. “I’ll go slower next time, I promise.”

Logan helped me get Chester to his feet. He went to brush the dirt off his back but stopped at my glare. Holding his hands up with a chuckle, he retreated. “Come by the main house when you’re done.”

Chester shot me a puzzled look. “Done with what?”

Logan was too far enough away for me to wallop—something I was certain was intentional. “Having furious‘oh my god, we survived’sex. Take your time though. If you’re too quick, I’ll be judging you, Finn.”

He disappeared into the house before I could do more than take a single step towards him. “Little shit.”

Cold fingers entwined with my warm ones. I turned to see Chester looking at me with unmistakeable heat in his eyes. “You heard what he said. We better get to it.”

Chapter 32

Chester

Often over the past few weeks, I’d marvelled at the sudden surges in my confidence. Leading Finn by the hand towards his house for a bout of what promised to be hot, desperate sex was definitely one of them. Especially considering everyone inside the clan house knewexactlywhat we were doing.

After what had happened with Clyde, sex had been the furthest thing from my mind. But now Logan had planted the seed, I had to admit it was a great idea. What better way to reconnect after such a stressful situation than by exchanging orgasms?

That was before we even considered what we’d told each other; the secret I hadn’t been able to admit even to myself, but had somehow found myself spilling to Finn.

“I love you.”

Thewords I’d wrestled with for weeks now had flowed out of me with ease. Finn had shown me time and again that I came first. That he cared about my needs and wants. That he’d put me above himself every time.

I wanted him to know I’d do the same for him. That I loved him for it. For that, and so much more.

Finn’s house appeared through the trees and I shot a glance at him. His cock was heavy between his thighs, erect and ready. “Aren’t you uncomfortable walking around like that?”

He stroked his cock once, eyes hooded as he stared back at me. “Aye, Chester. I’m definitely uncomfortable. Hard and fucking aching for relief if truth be told.”

I swallowed, my throat suddenly dry. I’d actually meant about being nude with an erection outdoors, but that didn’t matter in the face of what he’d said.

His door was unlocked, just as it always was. We entered his house silently, the electricity between us an almost tangible pulse in the air.

Usually, Finn took the upper hand in the bedroom, and I was happy to let him. Today though, I wanted something different. I wanted to own him as thoroughly as he owned me.

The door closed behind us and I was shoving Finn back against it almost instantly. His eyes flew wide with surprise. “Wha?—”

I silenced his question with a kiss and pressed his naked body back against the wood with my own, sliding my thigh between his. One of my hands fisted in his hair as the other didn’t stop moving. Up his chest. Along his collarbone. Down his arm. Over his abdomen. I couldn’t stop touching him.

Finn groaned as I pushed him harder against the door. My mouth plundered his relentlessly, taking everything he was willing to give.
