“That’s good to hear.”
“Have you learned anything new yet?” he asked hopefully.
Regretfully, she shook her head. “I haven’t seen anything that would be helpful. Unfortunately, I have to wait until the fates decide the time is right.”
“I have faith in you,” he said.
“Thank you.”
He touched her face, closed his eyes, and kissed her. Seraphina’s insides melted. Her heart stopped and she couldn’t breathe from the intensity of his touch. She wrapped her arms around his neck and opened her mouth at his insistence.
Liquid heat formed between her legs, and she wanted him more than she wanted air to breathe. She needed his thickness to fill her, bringing every cell and fiber in her body alive.
He must have felt her need as he slowly lowered her onto the cot.
Seraphina’s fingers tangled in his hair. His tongue pressed against her lips. She opened and his tongue swept against hers, making love to her mouth.
His scent of a rainstorm and mint was intoxicating. Fire burned inside of Seraphina as his hand trailed from her neck, over her side, to her waist and hips. He cupped her breast, squeezing it lightly as his thumb slowly circled around her nipple, sending electricity exploding inside of her body.
She moaned and arched against his touch. Dain slipped his hand under her tunic and into her panties. He pushed two fingers into her hot, wet center, while his thumb lightly rubbed her clit.
“Oh, my heavens,” she moaned against his mouth.
He pushed his heard cock against her hips, moving in slow circles.
Her breath caught in her throat as the pressure on her clit increased and his fingers curled inside of her. Each stroke sent waves of ecstasy crashing inside of her. Seraphina felt as though she was going to explode.
“Dain,” she gasped, her fingers digging into his shoulders.
Her body began to tremble and her muscles tightened around his fingers. Everything else in the world disappeared.There was only Dain and the exquisite fire that burned inside of her.
Seraphina’s heart thundered a million miles an hour, and she panted as she pressed her hips against his hand. Her body shook and her pussy walls pulsated against his hand. Wave after wave of hot, wet ecstasy erupted over his fingers.
She reached for his waistband and unfastened his pants. Seraphina slid her hands inside and grasped his thick, hard cock. She needed to feel him inside of her.
Everything shattered into a million pieces when Kael called for Dain. They had a situation.

Dain
“Give me a minute,” Dain said.
He brushed a kiss across her lips and quickly fastened his pants. Dain closed his eyes and counted to ten, willing his erection to go down. The last thing he needed was to walk outside with a tent in his pants.
After washing his hands, he took a deep breath and walked outside.
“There are some people here from Malakar’s kingdom who want to join you.” Kael nodded toward the entrance. “They’re waiting outside the gate for you.”
“How did they find us?” Dain asked, instantly on full alert.
“They said that Gideon told them before he was caught.” Kael sighed heavily. “I hope that he didn’t give in to the torture.”
“How many of them are there?”
“Seven all together,” Kael said. “There is a fox, hawk, and panther shifter with four humans.”
The newcomers were standing in a loose cluster just beyond the entrance. Their clothes were shabby, and the hunger and exhaustion were evident on their faces. Two of them werewomen with small children. A look of hope spread across their faces as Dain appeared. All of them bowed before him.
