Page 44 of Shifters' Fated Summer
“I’ve got her,” Luca murmured, and Cade nodded. “But you’ll have to face this eventually.”
The Alpha closed the door behind himself, leaving hischosen mate with his fated mate.
Luca’s icy blue eyes swept over me, lingering on my nipples practically stabbing through the sheets and the way I squirmed. His hand came up and he wiped his bottom lip with this thumb, rubbing over the silver ring.
“I seem to remember I made you a promise,” he said,stalking toward me.

My eyes widened. “Luca! You can’t be serious.”
“I absolutely am,” he said, advancing on me. “I could smell how turned on you werefrom the hallway.” He drew each word out, still moving forward like a graceful big cat. “So I figured it was time to make good on my promise.”
“You don’t have to. The situation has changed, to say the least.”
“Summer,” he crooned, and the velvet feel of his voice wrapped around my sensitive skin. “You formed a bond with my mate. This is the best thing that could have happened.”
My mouth opened and I blinked at him. His perspective was so far from how I was viewing things.
“Look, I know it’s overwhelming and doesn’t seem like a good thing to you yet. But please just trust me. I’m going to take care of everything. You. Cade. Us.” With each slow word, he climbed onto the bed and over me.
“That’s not possible,” I said, breathless. He wasn’t even touching me, and he didn’t have some magical bondmaking me want him, but I was still melting - Luca was that gorgeous.
“First step is to make you both feel better so you can think clearly,” Luca said. “I can help with that.”
“What?” I said, my breathing quickening into shallow panting.
“Think about it. What did you feel when I kissed Cade?” he asked slyly.
The question caught me off guard. “I, um, I felt him… he felt better.”
“More than that. Did it make you feel good?”
I closed my eyes, thinking back. “Yeah. I did feel good.”
Luca sighed, letting the air out slowly. “I can sense a shadow of what Cade is feeling. But with fated mates, it's far more intense.” He licked his lips. “So if I make you feel good, Cade will feel it too.”
“Really?” I whispered, too horny to think clearly.
“Yeah,” he answered, grinning. “Two birds, one orgasm.” He shrugged. “Or maybe two or three.”
“Luca!” I said again. “I’m kinda having a breakdown here.”
His face dipped to mine, his nose brushing my cheekbone. “I know, wildcat. And you’re also aching from that mate bond not being properly fulfilled. Let me take care of this and I promise everything else will look much better.”
He pulled back, searching my face. “Please,” hemurmured, drawing the word out into a whine.
I couldn’t think straight. The situation seemed ridiculous, but he was right, I was so turned on I couldn’t function, couldn’t breathe. I was two seconds away from running from this room naked to throw myself at Cade. Getting some relief would go a long way toward resolving my current chaos.
“Yes,” I whispered.
“Good girl,” he growled. With one smooth movement he pulled the blanket off me. My hands went to cover my breasts from the cold, but Luca was faster.
His lips closed over one peaked nipple as he dropped to his elbows and used his other hand to cup the other breast, rubbing his thumb over the tip.
“You liked it when Cade touched you here. I saw your face,” he said, his lips brushing over my breast with each word. “That was the first thing I saw when I got back. You, half naked, bent back while he licked you. Right. Here.” His teeth nipped and I squeaked. His next lick was firmer. “I almost came in my pants.”
