Smoke picked the lock easily, and they let themselves in through the back. The house was well lived in, with the regular mess that came from three small children.

Jace smiled. Maybe someday, they could have their own family.

He touched Mia’s shoulder. She gave him a questioning look before pulling him into a short hug.

She gestured in front of her with her hands, calling up a small spell. Jace reached out with his senses, trying to see if there were any magical traces left.

They searched the house for a half hour, touching every surface. He kept stealing touches of Smoke or Mia, their arm, leg, a bit of bared skin.

Mia finally swatted him away. “Jace, I’m trying to concentrate.”

“I’m helping.” He grinned at her.

“You’re distracting.” Mia pretended to be annoyed, but her cheeks were flushed. He would have bet a lot of gold Mia was wondering where they could go to have a quickie.

Jace grinned and grabbed her butt as she walked by.

“Smoke, control him,” Mia said over her shoulder. “I’m going to hope they didn’t do a good job of cleaning the attic.”

Smoke came around the countertop and stopped in front of him. “You should focus on helping Mia.”

“I am helping her. She’s stressed, I’m making her happy.”

Smoke arched an eyebrow. “And horny.”

“This benefits both of us. You should be helping.”

Smoke nodded. “Let’s search and then we can take turns making her insane with lust.”

It was a good plan. Jace finished his search downstairs, but it was like looking for a needle in a haystack you weren’t sure the needle was ever in.

Mia needed some sort of personal item to link the tracking spell to. Hair, clothing, anything.

He didn’t turn anything up downstairs and found Smoke and Mia in the attic.

Smoke had his hand up Mia’s shirt, and they were pressed against the wall, kissing.

His cock, already ready to go, got hard at the sight. Watching the two of them writhe against each other was intoxicating.

Jace cleared his throat. Smoke just flipped him the finger, before resuming kneading Mia’s breasts.

“Listen, if I join, we’re going to have sex.” Jace crossed his arms over his chest. “Mia, let’s finish up here, and then Smoke and I can go down on you until you can’t come anymore.”

Smoke stepped away. “I support this plan.”

Mia shivered. “How can I concentrate now?”

“Channel the lust like you did before.” Jace looked behind a bunch of boxes. He should feel bad about invading the family’s privacy, but he didn’t care about their secrets. He just needed something, anything, from the previous owner.

“Much better branch of magic to focus on than other things,” Mia muttered.

Smoke looked at her, but she didn’t elaborate. She was still keeping secrets from them.

He wanted it to not bother him. He knew she was skittish, and rebuilding trust would take time.

But damn it, he was ready to leave his clan for her. She could share with him.

“What’s this?” Smoke asked. He was in the back corner, behind some Christmas decorations.
