“Of course he is. They’re mates.” My fingers wound with hers. “You didn’t just give Joel his magic back. You gave himhimselfback. I didn’t think he’d ever get a second chance like this.”
She squeezed my hand. “He deserved one.”
I hesitated before admitting, “Joel has always been there for me. It means a lot that you helped him.”
“I know, Hunt.” She leaned forward and brushed her lips against mine, sending tingles straight to my cock.
“Joel admitted to me that he was in love with Jenni. I warned him to stay away because of Death, but it just makes sense now,” I admitted. “I even feel bad for telling him to back off.”
“Good thing he didn’t listen to you.” She pulled back, understanding in her eyes. “Jenni was always a little too invested in Joel than just a friend. It makes more sense now.”
I tucked her hair behind both of her ears and kissed her again. “As much as I’d love to lay you out on my desk and make you cry out in pleasure, we’ve already been scolded for our indulgence during your session time.”
She pouted, but a smile tugged at the corners of her mouth as she slipped off my desk and walked over to sit on the sofa. “You have a valid point.”
“Usually do.” I smirked.
With a lot of effort, our conversation drifted to the mission with the supernatural agents coming up this weekend—and how strange it had been to have a weekend without a mission. We were getting far too comfortable with the supernatural agents and sabotaging ritual sites, to be honest.
We talked mainly about Dark Veil and our other threats for the rest of our hour.
Before I realized it, time was up, and Dex melted into the room from the shadow. A lazy grin played on his face. “It’s fuckingcrazythat Jenni and Joel are mates. I told the rest of the guys in the group chat.”
I groaned. “Dex?—”
He held up the tablet before handing his to Pandora, who was giggling. “Check your messages.”
I grabbed my tablet and slid it in front of me before going into the group chat.
