Page 122 of His Light in the Dark

“Open your eyes, baby.”

When I open my eyes, his blue eyes are filled with such emotion that I can feel his love and adoration washing over me.

“Come with me,” he growls, sweat beading his forehead.

He grips my hair tighter, the sting sending a pleasant shiver over my scalp. This time he bites down on my mate mark.

“Logan!” I scream as pleasure bursts from every cell in my body like a tidal wave. I hear his groan in my ear as his movements become jerky. He takes his time, allowing us to savor and enjoy the pleasure. Without pulling out, he rolls over to his back, pulling me with him so I’m laying on his chest. Our breathing is heavy and erratic as we try to catch our breath.

I don’t know how long we lay there in silence, our breathing in perfect harmony. It is so good to be home. So good to be back with my mate. I feel a warmth in my chest, as if my heart is glowing with contentment.

I am anxious about one thing, though.

“What will happen to Hayley?” I whisper into the silence.

Logan lets out a sigh, his palms gliding over my back. “Felix and Kai sat Ro down and told him everything. It wouldn’t be fair if he thought his mom was crazy and tried to kill you. He and Hayley are going to be fine. It will take time, but with our help, everything will work out.”

“Is she okay?”

“Nesrin healed Hayley’s physical wounds, her mental ones will take a while longer.”

My heart breaks for her. She doesn’t deserve that, no one does.

“Lukas, Nesrin, and Leila left last night after everything was settled. I’m so grateful Sander called them.”

I am, too. I should have taken Sander up on the offer sooner. Maybe none of this would have happened.

“Don’t think like that. You didn’t know,” Logan whispers, reading my emotions correctly.

I snuggle into his arms, my head nestled in his chest, as I lightly trace the wings tattooed over his chest.

“Thank you for loving me.”

Logan’s fingers grip my chin, tilting my head back so he can read my expression. “Thank you for loving me. You fought for me when no one else ever did.”

I lean up and gently kiss him, my heart fluttering wildly in my chest. When I pull back, I rest my ear against his chest. I can feel the strong, steady thump of his heartbeat as I snuggle back into him, his arms tightening around me as I drift off to sleep.
