Ivan slammed his lips on Jamie’s, conveying with his kiss how wonderful he thought Jamie was. While still kissing, Ivan picked Jamie up and carried him to the bed and gently lay him down. Finally, he drew back and started stripping Jamie, kissing every piece of skin he uncovered before making love and mating with him.

Jamie groaned as he came awake to the sound of Ivan’s alarm. He hardly got any sleep last night as he and Ivan made love pretty much all night. As it was, he was still wrapped up in Ivan’s arms, practically lying over him.

Ivan shut the alarm off and dropped a kiss on Jamie’s head. “Best morning ever.”

“Can you remember all your mornings?” Jamie teased.

Ivan chuckled. “No, that’s how I know this is the best morning ever, as I’ll always remember it.”

“Feeling sappy this morning, honey?”

“Are you complaining?” Ivan asks, tickling his side.

Jamie laughed, trying to wriggle away. “No! Stop, stop.”

Ivan rolled on top of Jamie, grinning before leaning down and kissing him.

Jamie wrapped his arms around Ivan’s neck and happily kissed him back, just as the alarm went off again.

Ivan groaned and pulled away. “Think anyone would notice if we didn’t get up?”

“Karl and Kitty, your family, Max and the people at the library.”

Ivan gave a large fake sigh. “Fine, we’ll get up.”

Jamie laughed. “That’s the spirit. You have important work to do, and I have drinks to make.”

“True, let’s shower together.”

The next thing Jamie knew, he was being dragged out of bed and into the bathroom.

Jamie loved this bathroom. It was all sleek and modern, and the shower had more than enough room for both of them. Sure, Jamie always wanted his own bathroom, one he didn’t have to share, but sharing with Ivan was so good.

“I’ve made space for you in the wardrobe and chest of draws. If you need more space, just let me know,” Ivan said, as they were dressing, seeing Jamie pulling clothes out of his bag.

“Thanks, honey. I don’t have many clothes, so I shouldn’t take up too much room.”

“We need to make this room ours. I can’t wait to see your things in here mixed up with mine.”

Jamie did his jeans up, then walked over to Ivan. “You’re being mushy again, honey.”

Ivan grinned and pulled Jamie into his arms and kissed him. He slowly pulled back. “Get used to it, sweetheart.”

Jamie and Ivan walked into the kitchen about forty minutes later. They had called for Kitty and Karl, but both rooms were empty. Jamie was shocked to see them both dressed and sitting at the table next to Spencer and Jack, eating breakfast.

“Alright, who are you two and what have you done with my brother and sister?” he asked, sitting down.

Karl and Kitty laughed.

“I was hungry, so I woke Karl, and we came down to eat.”

Jamie nodded. “We need to talk about finding a school for you both.”

“Jack and Spencer want to go to a school in Sleepy Magna. We thought we’d join them,” Karl said.

“Sleepy Magna?” Jamie queried.

“Sleepy Magna is a wolf village, run by Kevin Mellor, a friend of our coven,” Louise told him. “Seth is arranging a time for us to visit the school so the children can have a look around. If you give Seth your work schedule, we can arrange the visit around you.”
