Page 52 of His Treasured Mate

He took us to new heights, and I was nearly blinded by desire by the time I screamed his name and gave in to the best orgasm of my entire life. This time, he couldn’t hold back and let himself fall right alongside me.

“Holy shit,” I said when I finally caught my breath.

He was shaking all over like he was on the verge of shifting or something. The dark, feral look in his eyes told me his wolf was trying to come closer to the edge, but I knew my mate was stronger than that.

Without a word, he rinsed us off and then helped me back to the bed.

My legs felt like Jell-O, and I couldn’t seem to stop smiling. My cheeks were starting to hurt.

But Thomas started pacing the room and ran his hand through his wet hair.

“Are you okay?”

“You did that on purpose. You drive me insane sometimes.”

“I’m pretty sure you knew that before you mated me.”

“Lily, the baby . . .”

“The baby is fine, Thomas. Stop worrying so much. I swear you’re like a first-time dad again and for some reason, it’s even worse this time.”

“But Lucy said . . .”

“I started dilating at thirty-two weeks with Lilah. This isn’t new or different.”

“What? Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Because I knew you’d pull this trick and ban sex. In case you haven’t noticed, I really like having sex with you.”

He shook his head. “That was a low trick even for you, though.”

“But look at us now? Feeling so refreshed after that shower.”

He snorted. “You’re impossible.”

“I know, but you love me anyway.”

“Always and forever. You’re sure you and the baby are okay?”

“Never better.”

He kissed me, and I smiled against his lips.

“No, that’s not happening again. Not right now at least.”

“That’s much more promising than your previous ban.”

He groaned. “It’s pathetic. I couldn’t even last twenty-four hours.”

I laughed. “That’s not a bad thing.”

“Maybe. What are you even doing up here? I thought you’d be elbow deep in macaroni salad or something by now.”

“Nope. We are all banned from the kitchen.”

“Seriously?”

“Yeah. Mom said Delta Force volunteered to handle everything. Explains why she wasn’t stressing out yesterday and planned that whole cousins’ sleepover instead.”
