Hours later, the scent of herbs greeted him at the bedroom door. He knew his cousin had come to visit Calita, and from the scent emanating from their bathroom, Anika had left gifts for his mate. He followed the scent into his bathroom and leaned on the door jamb, watching Calita. She was toweling off, her hair high in a bun. She turned and gasped as she spotted him. She clutched the towel tied around her chest.
“Is it done?”
Simon walked over to her and sat her on the vanity, stepping between her legs. “She’s in our jail, awaiting transport tomorrow morning for arraignment.”
“Will she go to shifter prison?” Calita released her hair and he lost his train of thought as he watched it cascade down her shoulders and back.
He grabbed a few strands, bringing it up to his nose. He closed his eyes and reveled in the scent. He dropped her hair and nuzzled into her neck, licking at her still wet skin.
“Simon?” Her breath caressed his neck.
He shuddered, need for her welling inside him. “Yes, love?”
“Becca, will she go to jail?”
He lifted his head and cupped her cheeks. He dropped small kisses across her lips and jaw. “Yes, attempted murder carries weight, and I have no plans to intervene. She’ll serve her time somewhere other than Bear Ridge, and she’s been banished from this clan.”
She touched her forehead to his. “I feel bad that she’ll lose her home.”
“It’s on her, Cali. The bond between mates is sacred. She made her choices.”
Simon felt no guilt or remorse for having her arrested. His bear wanted to handle it in a far more barbaric way, but banishing her to her bear’s body was cruel. He sighed and dropped a kiss behind Calita’s ear.
“Can we be done talking about this?”
“You have better things to discuss?” She asked softly, pulling him tighter into her body.
“Better things to do for sure,” he murmured against her lips.
She wrapped her arms around his neck. “I had hoped you’d join me in the shower.”
He growled and released the towel from her breasts. He watched her face to make sure she was still comfortable. None of the trepidation she used to have at him seeing her nude was visible on her face. He caught her gaze watching him, concentration, and heat flitting in her eyes.
“You are so beautiful to me.” He kissed her, pulling her into his body.
“You make me feel that way,” she told him as she lifted his shirt. “Now, come out of these clothes.”
His smile spread across his face at her greedy hands. “Is there something you need?”
She growled and pulled her bottom lip between her teeth.
He laughed and pushed his pants down, his erection jutting forward. Her eyes went wide with lust. She licked her lips. Her gaze made him feel like a god. His chest swelled and a powerful need over took his body. He pulled her to the edge of the vanity.
“Tell me you love me,” he demanded, pushing into her wet sex.
She flexed around him and his muscles tightened, the need to pound into Calita dimming his vision until only she stood out.
She arched her back, her channel squeezing around him. He hissed, his hips jerking, burying his cock all the way to the hilt. She smiled, a devilish smile that he would spend the rest of his days giving her a reason to recreate.
“I love you, Simon. Now, no more talk, I want sex.”
