I shifted until he was under the spray more fully and, using my lower body to keep him against the wall so he didn’t have to stand, washed him with the same reverence he’d shown me. Hegroaned, low and needy, and my hands skimmed his waist and over his thickening cock. The mate bond buzzed between us.

With effort, I stopped and carried him out of the shower after turning it off, placing him on the rug so I could quickly dry myself before taking my time rubbing the soft, fluffy towel over him. He swayed, his eyes no more than glittering slits as he stared at me.

I wanted to have the time to treasure him, here and now. Us both being alphas meant absolutely nothing with how he captured my heart with his strength.

“I wasn’t strong enough to stop—”

I pressed a gentle kiss to his swollen lips. “It’s hard to fight when he played dirty. I’ll make him suffer for that, I swear!”

He wrapped his arms around my neck and clung on. Despite that, his next words broke my heart. “You should stay away from me, I only bring danger… death.”

“Never gonna happen,” I said firmly. “I don’t care what happens. Whatever we do, I’m yours and you are mine. I’ll glue myself to your side for eternity. “

He gave me an uncertain smile, and I sensed his worry that I’d change my mind when the shit hit the fan.

I swept my lips over his in the softest of kisses, holding his gaze. “Think about it. Fate chose an alpha for us each for a reason. You’re mine, Fate doesn’t make mistakes. Let me love you. Let me treasure you.”

His giggling was so adorable and made my heart shudder in my chest, reinforcing the need to protect him with everything in my power. I felt the moment he let go, let me in, and tears filled my eyes. “I won’t let you down.”

He pressed his nose to mine. “I won’t let you down either.” The lion was there in his eyes and Great Rhu, I wanted to roll over his fur.

“I can arrange that, if you want.”

I blushed the color of my stalk at him catching my thought. “Could you now?” I finally managed to say when the blood finished pooling between my legs and showing him exactly how I felt about the offer.

He nudged me back and a moment later, there was my scarred lion. He was glorious, his mane floofed out, his eyes tracking me as I came closer to shift and land on his mane. I groaned in delight at the feel of his fur rubbing against my fuzzies.

He lowered to the floor, and I took the opportunity to roll down his back, hearing his chuckle at how I gloried at the feel of him against my stalk. Custard leaked from my stalk as I slid down his tail and wriggled under it, finding his spined cock.

Intrigued, I rolled to it and he moved so I could get closer. The second my stalk tickled it, he groaned in my head and a spike caught on the fleshy part of my stalk.

He roared, digging more spikes into my flesh and I custarded all over his spiny length before I could gather my wits. Then he was spurting cum over my leaves, making me shiver in delight. Great Rhu, how hot was that?

I lay fanning my leaves over my stalk, spraying his cum over me, groaning at the feel of it sinking into my flesh. His scent mixing with mine.

We are mates! Proper mates.It was my last thought as the lack of sleep caught up with me and the darkness slowly claimed me. A furry body tucked me closer. I was in heaven.

I awoke dazed and confused, trying to figure out why I was lying in the bathroom on a bed of fur. “Why am I on the floor?” I asked sleepily, looking at the window, seeing daylight and trying to figure how long I’d slept for.

The lion beneath me growled when I moved. A hugepossessivepaw tried to pull me back as I rolled to sit up, chuckling. “I have to get up, my darlin’. I need to catch an arsonist.”

A moment later, a naked Leonidis stared at me shyly. “Hey.”

“Hey yourself,” I murmured, coming forward to kiss him because who could resist when he looked sleepy, warm and most definitely mine.

“I am,” he answered, his eyes sparkling with joy in a way they hadn’t before.

I got up and tugged him with me when I became tempted to say ‘fuck work’ and take him to my enormous bed and ravish him.

“I’d like that.” A pretty blush appeared over his chest, spreading up his neck.

“Me too.” I walked him into my bedroom. “When this is all over, I’m not letting you out of here until I’ve had my fill of you.”

“I think I’d be agreeable to that.”

My cell-phone dinged, alerting me to a text message. I groaned and went to where I’d left my phone, opening the message from Deputy Livingstone.

I frowned, heart skipping a beat at what was on the screen and looked about for some clothes, my mind racing over the next move.
