CHAPTER26

She stood in front of the bay window as the branches creaked in the wind. She found comfort in the bristling leaves as they moved in the wind. The airy tree house was more than a home. It had become a sanctuary she could return to when the chaos of her life was too much.

She still warred with her actions, though Dannika and the clan leaders had reassured her she had done what was needed to give them a chance. Ferguson was searching for the demons, but they had disappeared in the hours since the portal was severed.

Colton’s arms circled her waist. He had showered, and he smelled amazing. She turned so she could lay her head on his chest. He hadn’t bothered to dress and his hair still dripped water onto his shoulders. He tipped her chin up as his mouth descended on hers.

Her temperature soared within seconds as his mouth moved to hers. His magical tongue slipped between her lips, exploring, conquering her on a primal level. The memories of her actions faded away with the sensations his tongue created. They dueled with one another until he shifted her clothes to the shadows. The need to be skin on skin, an instinct neither could ignore. She didn’t protest as he moved her to the couch, and lay her down. His eyes were afire with hunger and primal desire.

His hands roamed her body, creating a firestorm. One that could consume her soul. Her flesh heated, yearning for more of his magical touch. She groaned as his fingers slipped between her sensitive folds, pressing into her velvet channel as his lips moved to her breast. His hunger was insatiable, and she was an unending banquet.

Riley arched toward him, riding his hand, almost coming apart as he worked her. His mouth tugged hard on her nipple, causing a rush of liquid between her thighs, coating his fingers in her warm juices. He moved her above his straining cock as his tongue lavished her nipple. The sensations coursing through her body had her heart pounding in her chest. It was heaven and hell. She never wanted it to stop. She sent a silent prayer that this was her destiny.

Colton’s eyes lit with an intense hunger. He would devour her. Consume her body and soul. She wanted everything he offered and more. He kissed her neck, then thrust up through the tight folds of her silken sheath, reveling in the sensation he created. Moving within her as she struggled for breath.

Air rushed from her lungs when he cupped her ass, holding her in place as he impaled her over and over. There was no thought. No reason. Only hard, unmitigated passion, fueled by lust and unending need. A tsunami of dark power that cascaded over her skin and had her screaming for more.

She clutched his shoulders as if they were the only haven in the tornado of emotion assaulting her body. Attempting to anchor herself in the waterfall of erotic sensation. It washed over her in a relentless wave.

“Please, don’t stop.” She was no longer embarrassed to ask for what she wanted. She was a shadow, and this was her mate. His desire was hers.

He pumped harder, anchoring her hips with his hands. She put a hand on the couch to combat the building pressure. Her nails dug into his flesh, marking him. Telling him without words he belonged to her alone. That whatever fight lay before them would be fought together. One soul. One world.

Rippling waves of pleasure washed over her skin. She gripped him in a velvet vise. She screamed his name as he went over the apex, holding her to him like he would never let her go. She lay beneath him, floating in a sea of bliss, content to stay there forever. She felt a moment of regret when Colton moved from the couch and pulled her with him.

Colton shifted her clothes from the shadows then his own. “I didn’t mean to rush you, but your sister is on her way.”

Riley blinked. “I never noticed the script.”

Colton kissed her cheek. “Then I was doing my job. Raine sent a quick message. I didn’t respond, so I assume he is en route.”

Riley laughed. “If you did any better at that, we would never get out of bed.”

Colton wiggled his eyebrows. “That has a certain appeal.”

She slapped his chest playfully. “I’m sure it does.”

They both turned as Raine and Dannika solidified inside the living room. The wolf clan leader immediately took his mate to the chair and settled her before sitting on the edge.

Riley and Colton sat on the couch, but not before she shot Colton a concerned glance. Dannika was pale and had dark circles under her eyes. “Dannika are you okay?” Riley asked.

Dannika waved her hand absently, but the look on Raine’s face was one of concern. “Anaisa is going to do a physical on me tomorrow. I am tired all the time and I am having trouble in the pathway. I can only travel if Raine is in control.”

Riley swallowed dry air. They were about to go to war. A sick queen was the last thing they needed for morale, but Riley’s concern was for her sister. “Does Anaisa have any idea what is causing it?”

Dannika nodded. “She has some theories, but as I am the first female shadow, we don’t know what my evolution is like. The tiredness could simply be the shadow female version of PMS.”

Riley chuckled. “I thought that was supposed to be the bonus of being a shadow. No more cramps.”

Dannika laughed. “I told Raine the same thing.”

Colton looked to Raine. “Have you heard from Ferguson? Does he have any idea where the demons went?”

Dannika sighed. “They stopped chasing him when the portal severed completely. He searched for them, but they haven’t left a trail of any kind.”

Raine rubbed his mate’s back. “Unfortunately, they will need to feed, so it’s only a matter of time before they kill again.”

Dannika sighed. “I know. We are stuck until they hunt. Ferguson is monitoring the pathways. We have restricted travel so he can look for demon activity.”
