“Yes.” The last thing I needed was to get pregnant. “Take me, Jax. Hard and fast.”

Growling, he leaned over me, captured my mouth, and began fucking me with earnest.

The table beneath us, thick solid oak, moved with each thrust. Any sense of control was gone, and I raked my nailed down his back, marking him as he pleasured me.

“Fuck, Anna. So goddamn perfect around my cock. There’s no running. No hiding. Want your legs around me all the time. Want you moaning in my ear.”

I was doing all that and more, but his words triggered my climax, and I screamed as I snapped beneath him. He moved harder and faster until the table hit the wall, and he hammered into me deep before he came.

Tomorrow was going to hurt. The afterglow of my euphoria coursed through me and protected me, but it was going to be a completely different story when it ended.

“Shower,” Jax said roughly. “Then we can finish dinner. And then bed.”

“Are we going to be sleeping?” We’d only just stopped, but the thought of him wrapped around me in the shower had me clenching around him.

Jax cursed and hardened. “No. I don’t think we will be.”

We locked gazes, and he withdrew just a little and sank back inside me. I whimpered, but the doorbell sounded.

Snapping his head, he growled, and I swallowed a laugh. The spell had been broken, and I gently pushed him off me. “I didn’t even know people used doorbells these days.”

Reaching into the pocket of his jeans, which were still on him, he glanced at the screen and gently tucked himself back in. “It’s Jenson. He tried to call me.”

From his phone, he brought up the camera at his door, and I quickly rolled off the table and picked up my clothes. “What?” Jax snapped before looking at me and shaking his head.

He wanted me naked. I wanted to be naked and under him too, but I had to be careful. I couldn’t get too lost in the mating bond, so I ignored him and started to dress.

“It’s Irene,” Jenson said shortly. “There’s a problem.”

Irene? I started to dress faster.

“What’s the problem?”

“I don’t know, but she wants to see Anna.”

Anna

Jenson took one look at us and growled disapprovingly, but he didn’t say anything before we climbed into his truck. There was no time for a shower, obviously, and also no time for arguing. I wanted to go alone, but Jax wouldn’t let me.

Irene wasn’t surprised when the guard let us in. “Your second can wait outside,” she said stiffly, avoiding Jenson’s gaze.

Wasn’t that interesting?

The cottage that looked so cute in the afternoon sun was just a little bit creepier at night.

All the lights were turned off, and there were candles lit on every surface and in every corner. I wanted to point out that it was a fire hazard, but then I noticed that the flames were dancing. Not even a little bit.

“Is that your magic doing that? Has it returned?”

“No,” she said mournfully. “It has not, but this isn’t my magic. It’s the natural elements respecting my wishes. Magic is all around us. It affects us even if we can’t wield it. Well, it affects most of us.”

Misstep, I froze. “Shit. Is that going to stop because I’m here?”

“No. Even a null can’t cancel natural magic. You really must learn more about your abilities,” she scolded. “Although I can see you’ve been working on some unfinished business.

Good. That will help protect you.”
