But it was power.

He felt it surging through his veins and strengthening his soul.

As he shifted his mouth to take her deeper, he plowed his hands into her hair, fisting her short, wild, sexy curls to hold her closer as her moans vibrated along the sensitive skin of his mouth.He understood why the Great Spirit put mates together.Not to become one but because the creator knew that both people became their greatest formidable selves as they walked beside the other.

I missed you, mate.

Oh, little rabbit, I know just how you can show me how much.

He slipped his hand from her lower back to her ass and squeezed the firm globe.She was small in stature, but her ass was a work of art.Refusing to end the kiss, he mindlessly carried her up the remaining stairs and into the house.Swinging one foot behind him, he kicked the door closed.

“One moment, he just returned...”Rudie’s voice came from the direction of the living room.“Alpha.”

Chanin groaned as he drove his tongue one last time into Morlie’s mouth.

She whimpered when he ended the kiss.

Still standing by the door, holding Morlie, and ready to make a beeline to the bedroom, knowing his assistant would get the hint and find her way out, Chanin glanced at Rudie.

His assistant stood a few feet from him with the radio in her hand.“Whoever it is, it can wait.”

He began to turn toward his destination, growling as Morlie licked a path up his neck to his ear.Chanin prayed for strength.His cock was a steel pole in his jeans, begging him to lay his mate down on the first available surface and take her.He’d slam his cock into her so deep and hard she’d scream in pleasure until her pussy was quivering around him, and she was gushing, soaking them both in her essence.

“It’s the Drahk.”

Not ‘Drahks,’ as in it could be anyone from the dragon-shifters’ communication team.No, it was Aodh.

Morlie gasped.

Chanin could not ignore a call from the shifters, among whom his mate’s sister lived.

He sighed and loosened his hold until she slipped from his arms and stood before him.

Morlie’s eyes were wide, and curiosity brightened them.

As he looked at his mate without the lust that was clouding his gaze, he noticed she had a bruise on the side of her face, and her nose was swollen.

His wolf growled.

Someone would answer for what he was seeing.Right now, he needed to focus on the call.

Chanin and Aodh had never discussed the unique situation involving the two sisters they were mated to and the appropriate time before contact happened between the females.However, the Preternatural Council treaty agreements laid out the importance of new shifters and their mates having time to complete the change process and become acclimated to their new world.

So, this better be damn important.More than just Aodh’s mate entreating the massive dragon to talk to her sister.Chanin shielded those thoughts from Morlie.

“It must be fucking leader day.”

Rudie and Morlie frowned at his words.He’d explain Dov's contact and Farkas to them later.

“Hand it here.”Too horny to be polite, Chanin held his palm out for the device.

Rudie gave it over.

Holding Morlie at his side because he knew she wouldn’t go far knowing that someone from the Drahk territory was on the radio, he growled, “Aodh?Over.”

“Chanin.I wouldn’t contact you during mating time if it weren’t important.Over.”The head dragon’s heavy, gruff texture that always sounded like the male was a breath away from spitting out a flame of fire came through the radio channel.

“I’d hope not.”Aodh’s words caused Chanin’s grip to tighten around the device.“What’s going on?Over.”
