Roots sprang from her fingertips, and she crouched to sink her fingers into the earth. When she looked at the wolves, a small, serene smile tilted her lips, and flowers bloomed in her hair.
“Run,” she said quietly, her eyes flashing with crimson light. “I require the attention of your Lord.”
As if pulled by a string, every wolf under my command rose and streaked past us, headed for the glorious, healed forest Evie had created.
Exultant howls pierced the night, excited yips and howls as wolves tumbled over each other, tangling playfully, their paws tearing clods from the soil.
Cernunnos disappeared, but not without a mental warning.
I will return, he whispered through our minds.
Fee and Poe lifted into the air, soaring above us with a show of brilliant color.
And when Evie laughed, I pulled her to me and claimed her mouth in a kiss.
Chapter
Thirty-Two
Ispent over a week in Caelan’s bed, drunk on his love. Moira and the others tended to the shop while I shirked my duties in an epic way.
But it was Monday, and real life could wait no longer. Caelan’s strong arm was locked on my waist, keeping me pressed against him. I shoved at his arm.
“I have to go to work.”
A hot, possessive kiss against my shoulder blade. “No.”
I laughed. “You have to go to work, too. Don’t think I missed all the calls you’re getting from the other Lords. Donovan’s death needs to be reported.”
“It already has been. His people felt his demise.” He nipped my neck.
I shivered and arched against him. “What are you going to do?” My voice was a little breathless, but Caelan kept me that way.
“You tell me, Evangeline.”
I stilled. “What?” Shifting, I rolled to face him.
“Did you claim his land when you claimed me?” His eyes were warm and languid, a hint of glow in his irises. Ever since that night, the glow hadn’t faded.
I thought about it. “Umm. I don’t know.” Honestly, I hadn’t given it another thought because I’d been tangled up in Caelan.
“Check.” He pressed a kiss to my lips, one warm hand wandering south until it found gold.
I arched and moaned against his mouth. “If you keep doing that, neither of us will be checking anything.”
He slithered down my body. “Good.”
Possessive little nips all over my breasts and stomach until he ventured farther?—
A scream ripped from me. “Caelan!”
He smiled against my thighs. One rough lick later, and I was lost in the Shifter Lord once again.
I wasthree hours late for my shift.
Little Shop of Florals was so full I had trouble pushing through to get to the register. When Moira spotted me, a slow smile curved her lips.
“You look like you’ve been fucking for days.”
