It takes us a moment to collect ourselves.

When I finally lift my head to gaze up at him, Jude’s eyes are still closed. I kiss his chest, and he finally blinks them open and gazes at me, smiling softly.

I wriggle against his knot, but it doesn’t loosen.

‘What’re you doing, Red?’ he mumbles softly.

‘Are you able to go again?’

He grunts out a laugh. ‘Again? You’re gonna kill me.’

I grin, nuzzling his chest. ‘We don’t have to.’

He rolls us over until he’s lying over me, pressing his face against the side of my throat. He breathes deep, and I sigh, running my hands down his back.

‘I’ll take you whenever you want me to,’ he murmurs.

‘Really?’ I ask, hopeful.

‘As long as you can get my cock hard enough, sure.’

I laugh, and he nips at my jaw playfully.

‘So, what’s the plan?’ I murmur, gazing up at him. I stroke his beard down, smoothing my thumb across his cheek.

He gazes back, eyes soft. ‘You tell me, sweetheart.’

‘Alliance?’

He nods. ‘Nolan and Hannah are happy to continue.’

‘The war?’

‘I think we should be able to end it without too much bloodshed.’

I nod, relieved.

‘The wall?’

‘It’ll come down eventually. And we’ll need your help with explaining assimilation to Primrose. Getting them used to having humans in their society.’

I grin. ‘I’d be thrilled.’

‘But also getting humans used to Weres,’ he murmurs, studying my face. ‘I don’t want Primrose to feel like they need to accommodate, and neither will my sister. We shouldn’t have to change our ways, just to make them comfortable.’

I nod. ‘I agree.’

He kisses me.

‘And us?’ I murmur against his lips.

‘What do you want to know, honey?’

I think for a second. ‘Where are we gonna live?’

‘Wherever you want.’

I look around the room. ‘Here?’
