“Mm,” I said, and pressed further into his body. He wrapped strong arms and legs around me, cocooning me in a sense of safety. “Will we have lots of this if I move in with you?”
“As much as you want,” he whispered, his voice once more taking on tinges of passion.
“Whenever I want?” I asked.
“Whenever you want,” he said, beginning to run a fresh trail of kisses along my neck.
“Even now?”
“Even now.” His voice was becoming rougher and he pushed onto one elbow. “Do you want me now?”
Honey, I think I’ll always want you.But I was too chicken to say that; I was nearly too chicken to think it. “I definitely want you now,” I said instead.
He twisted his body on top of mine and held my eyes. “Eve, will you move in with me?”
I grinned. “Yes. I will.”
He beamed and the gesture was infectious.
A giggle escaped me. “Do I get my reward for agreeing now?”
“Hell yeah you do.” With his forearms pressed against the bed to either side of my shoulders, he lowered his face to capture my lips. “Mine,” he murmured against them.
A thrill swept across my body as I arched up to claim his mouth. I was definitely his. There was no going back now.
17Selkies Are Assholes
Those of usgoing to the selkie cave gathered on Gran’s porch early the next morning. No time like the present to take on some seal shifters in need of an attitude adjustment. I waited next to the group of cars while the others gathered the last of the things they’d need. Patting my belt, I was double-checking that my gun, spare ammo, badge, and a few choice vials of Gran’s magic were where they were supposed to be when I sensed Cass staring at me.
‘What?’I said.
He grinned and wagged his hips back and forth, making the early morning sunlight reflect off the iridescent fabric of his booty shorts.‘You got nookie last night.’
I tried not to smile but failed miserably.
He pointed at me.‘And this morning!’
I wasn’t about to deny facts, especially not to Cass, who probably appreciated sex more than any other creature alive. I let my grin fly.
‘You’re fucking in love.’His tone was incredulous.‘You’re totally batshit crazy for him.’
‘Hey,’I snapped defensively.‘You’re gaga over Tianna too.’
‘Yeah, well, have you seen my T?’His eyes grew nostalgic as he squeezed the air in front of him.‘Hummana, hummana.’
‘Cass, please tell me you’re not picturing groping Tianna right now.’
‘I’m not,’he answered too quickly.
Ew, he totally was.
‘I agreed to move in with Brock.’That would definitely distract him.
But where I assumed he’d make fun of me for being whipped or suggest it was too fast, too soon, he simply rubbed at his fuzzy hot pink goatee instead.‘I’ve been thinking about asking T to move in with me, you know, since I have my own place now and all.’
Our bounty for catching Calista had come in, and that would hold us both over for a while.
My jaw dropped open.‘But you’re an equal opportunity lover of the fae, ofallthe fae. You told me yourself a hundred times you could never settle on just one. You’re a man with a taste for many flavors. You’re...’I faded off at the look on his face.‘You’re in love. You’re honest to goodness in love.’
