I don’t have a photo from my graduation as I just got the certificate in the post, and I’ve done both high schools, so I included Dan and Elise and also my college one.

I’ve also done a clearer copy of my book cover for him on canvas, instead of him and me in silhouette, you can see our details.

I’ve had a few messages from Vicki asking what is considered a normal present for a mate's birthday. When I told her he collects unusual weapons, she was so excited, even her texts were gibberish.

That night, none of the guys asked for me to be in their bed, so I decided to shower and then read in my bed before I went to sleep, but as I stepped out of theshower, I was pulled into the shadows and into River’s bedroom,

“Time to make youfully mine, Firefly.”

RIVER

My shadows are already caressing her body. I just pepper kisses over her neck and shoulders, I start to sing The Calling's, Wherever You Will Go to her, making her shiver, and I know that my shadows are driving her mad,

“River, please.” As I sing the last few notes, I pull her on top of me.

“Mark me, Firefly.” I kiss her sweet mouth, and she follows by kissing along my jaw, down my neck, making my skin tingle with each press of her lips, eventually she stops her lips hovering over my heart and glances at me through her eyelashes, smirking slightly before sinking her teeth into my chest, my back arches, precum dripping from my cock and even my shadows feel like they are pulsing, I don’t feel the change, but when my Firefly takes my mouth again her hands grasp my horns, she runs her body up mine, and I can feel her wet core running over my leathery skin and its now my turn to beg,

“Please, Firefly, I need to be inside you.” Thank fuck she understands Latin. One of her hands runs down my chest, swirling over my abs, as she pushes to her knees before taking my cock in her hand, stroking the leaking tip between her wet folds.

She pushes down a little, just the tip pulsing inside her as she pumps my cock while licking her lips. Moving slightly so my tip enters and exits her body with her small movements, done with her teasing, I grasp her ass and pull her down, so she is flush with me, my cock filling her fully.

“River, I need to move. I need….” Her words cut off as I sit up, taking her mouth, I start to lift and drop her on my length slowly, using her to pump my cock with her fluttering core, my shadows bat her hands away from plucking her own nipples, and her hands thankfully return to my horns. Somehow, my cock gets harder at the sound of her moans and whimpers, my shadows secure her hair up off her neck, and they trickle coolness across her flushed skin,

“River, please.” Her body arches, head tipping back, giving me access to her pulse point behind her ear. I cover it with my mouth, sucking, scraping my teeth over her flesh as she bounces on my cock, sweat dripping between her full breasts, my shadows start to seep into her where my mouth is,

“Yes, fuck yes, River, more.” Each word is a gasp, her tits bouncing and swaying with her movements, my shadows are pushing in her ass and tapping against her clit, how do humans please their women without the help of shadows? Suddenly, my shadows fill the room, pulsing in time with the beat of our hearts. I roar out my release, filling her deeply as she screams out my name. I shift back still inside her, and manage to catch her as she passes out.

My firefly is sprawled over my chest, my cock still twitching inside her. I feel my brother's shadows join mine in the room and watch as some move the hair from her face and caress her cheek.

“Soppy bastard,” I mumble and get a flick to the ear, then his shadows form a hand and give me the finger before disappearing, which has me trying not to laugh, which would end up waking my mate. I fall asleep easier than I have in years.

CHAPTER TWENTY ONE

EMBER

I woke feeling River pulsing inside me, I pepper kisses on his chest, as I push up, supporting myself with my hands on his abs, slowly rolling my hips,

“Firefly?” One of his hands moves to my hip, so I grind on him harder, his other hand cupping my breast before fisting my hair and pulling me in for a sloppy, desperate kiss,

“How do the others not fuck you 24/7 when you feel this good?” I know it’s not a question aimed at me, so I don’t offer an answer. I’m so close, so I change to swivelling my hips in a circle, which is when he fully wakes and rolls us, so I’m on my back and start to mimic my earlier action of slowly rolling his hips. He kisses over his mark, making my breath stutter and my pulse jump. His hips start to stutter against mine. He takes my mouth, swallowing my moans as my orgasm hits, and he follows me within seconds. We fall back asleep, giving each other soft kisses.

I’m woken by Trick, stomping into the room,

“Your phone has been ringing non-stop for over an hour”, he pecks my lips and hands me my phone. I stupidly don’t check the caller ID before I answer.

“Tell me your address, I heard you sucked the right cock and are now rolling in it.” I blink and glare down at my phone, but I don’t recognise the number. Ren walks in with a steaming mug of tea and a small smirk,

“Oi Bitch answer me, you useless, ugly cunt.” I see the guy’sfreeze, and River sits up. Ren places my mug down on the side table and sits beside me, his nose nearly touching mine.

“Baby?” his voice is barely concealing his growl. I sigh and hand him my phone, which earns me a kiss. I hear a scoff through the phone.

“Get the cock out of your mouth, you fucking ugly whore, and give me your address NOW!” I see Ren take a deep breath,

“May I have the name of the guy talking to my girl like he has the right to?” I hear a scoff and a chuckle,

“That dumb bitch owes me for carrying her through the class we shared and were partnered in, the names Swift.” I’m frowning at Ren and shrug, I don’t know a Swift, wait, maybe I do,

“Razor Swiftly?” I hear a grumble,
