I nod, my eyes never leaving my mate. “I know.”
“Hold on.”
“Not planning on letting go of a single inch.”
Across the yard, my woman laughs at something Marcus said, and the sound gets me right in the chest. Spreading warmth and all kinds of crazy emotions through me. Fuck. Five hundred years of emptiness, and now… Her. Here. With my fucking family. I’m a goddamn lucky bastard.

A few hours later, we’re back in the truck, heading home. Destiny is curled into my side on the custom front bench, a soft smile on her face.
“I like them,” she says. “They’re good people.”
I feel my lips hook up on one side. “They’re assholes.”
She playfully punches my arm. “They’re super nice.” Then she lays her fingers on top of my hand on the gearshift. “Thank you for bringing me.”
I shrug. “You’re my mate. They’re my family.” I raise our joined hands and press a kiss to the back of hers.
“Still.” She squeezes my fingers again. “It meant a lot.”
I turn to look at her when I reply, “Always.”
She smiles, soft and sweet. Fuck. My sunshine girl.
“So…” She shifts in her seat, the spark returning in her eyes. “About that surprise…”
I grin. “Think you’re ready?”
“Boy, Ibeenready.”
I laugh, stepping harder on the gas pedal. “Good, cause tonight, little one, I’m taking you somewhereveryspecial.”
She’s beaming up at me, all angel face and fucking sinful body. “The dream realm.”
I bring her hand to my lips again to kiss her knuckles. “Where you first found me. Where I first found you. The place that brought us together.”
She sighs, her gaze turning dreamy. “Can’t wait.”
“Me neither, baby.”

The second we walk through the door, I scoop her up, cradling her against my chest. “I got you.”
She’s panting, her skin flushed, slick already soaking through her panties. I can smell it. And it’s fucking intoxicating. I carry her to our room, lay her down on her nest. Surrounded by my clothes, my scent. My perfect little omega.
She looks up at me with hazy eyes. I start stripping off my clothes. And her gaze tracks my every movement, hungry, desperate.
I crawl on the bed, caging her with my body. I press my forehead to hers. “We’re going somewhere else. Somewhere ours.”
She swallows, nodding jerkily. Her brown eyes never leaving mine.
I kiss her softly. Then deep and hard. “Gonna give you everything you need. Fill you so fucking full.”
