Levi moved fast. His fangs flashed in front of Mason’s eyes and then he was biting down in that space between Mason’s neck and shoulder. The sharp pain was there and gone in an instant.

There was a pull from the bite as Mason’s body lit on fire. He screamed as his cock exploded without even being touched. Mason came hard enough that his vision went white.

As Mason’s cock twitched, releasing even more cum, Levi licked the wound in his neck, then lifted his face and yelled as hot cum filled Mason’s hole. He collapsed on top of Mason, causing Mason to grunt. He wrapped his arms around Levi’s sweaty back.

Mate.

His mate nuzzled Mason’s neck, making the wound throb pleasantly.

“Forever,” Levi mumbled against Mason’s skin.

“Yes, sweetheart,” Mason agreed. “Forever.” There might be more trouble in their future. Danger could be right around the corner. It didn’t matter as long as Mason belonged to Levi and Levi was all his.

Sneak Peek: Cupcake

Cupcake: Unlocked Mates Book 9

Logan

He was drawn to the colorful artistically painted front window of the bakery in town. Every morning Logan passed the bakery, and it was getting harder and harder to resist going inside again. Not only did the smells coming from the establishment lure him closer but so did the man that worked behind the counter.

Logan’s father used to say that he wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. His mama had told him nearly every day of his childhood that it was a good thing he was pretty and would give her beautiful grandbabies because he was dumber than a box of rocks. So, Logan might not be smart, but he knew that he needed to stay far away from the intriguing man that owned and ran the bakery. But it was so hard.

And they had cupcakes again.

The big pretty cupcakes with bright pink icing and sprinkles.

His mouth watered and he had to swallow. How embarrassing would it be if he started drooling? Logan was pretty sure that had already happened a time or two.

Logan ached on the inside. He wanted that cupcake. He wanted to hear the deep voice from the small man that welcomed customers inside. It confused him. Now that mates were being found within his family, Logan hoped that he’d find his own soon. The draw to the bakery had Logan rushing insidethe first time he felt it. He thought…yeah, stupidly he’d thought that he’d been blessed, and his mate had been inside.

The only employee back then was the man that owned and operated the business and while Logan thought Dean was gorgeous, he didn’t feel the pull described by the others when they’d scented his mate.

As much as Logan was interested in Dean, he knew it was better to stay far away. It would be just his luck to get into a relationship and then find his mate. Logan couldn’t imagine ever hurting someone like that, so he stayed away from Dean. And the sweet-smelling treats.

But the cupcakes were so so sparkly!

At that moment Dean’s head snapped up and he smiled at Logan where he was peering through the large front window. Logan quickly looked away from the man but his gaze fell to the cupcake on the big display case.

Logan licked his lips.

He was lucky that the bakery had quickly become one of the places that the others in the group had become obsessed with. The other boys loved their cookies and pastries. Sam and Ansley’s bookstore was only a few blocks over and they often brought home special treats for the family.

No one had brought home one of the pretty cupcakes though.

“Hey, Logan.”

He jumped at the soft, inviting voice. Looking to the side, he saw Dean standing at the open door, smiling at him. Logan had to swallow again. Oh no! He quickly stepped back.

“Sorry! I was just looking!” Logan blurted out.

“I noticed. Was there something that caught your eye?”
