So maybe I did do an accidental love spell. Would that be so bad, if I’ve found my person?
At the same time, I’m still weak from my earlier orgasm, and yet I’m frantic with need as he toys with the ache between my legs.
“I’m yours, Timber,” I whimper.
His body stiffens as I milk what’s left of him.
Timber roars in my ear, and I grip harder.
“Cherry…my Cherry.”
“Yours…I’m yours, Timber.”
Chapter

Timber
At dawn,there’s a knock on Cherry’s door.
“You answer it,” she says lazily as she rolls over on top of me. “I don’t think I can walk.”
After our shower, we spent the rest of the night wrapped up together in bed, taming the beast.
I kiss the mark on her shoulder, which has transformed into a fanciful letter “T.”
“Cherry’s first tattoo,” I say, tracing my fingertip over the sweeping black lines.
“I’m glad you gave it to me. Although you gave me my first…everything.”
My heart expands knowing the bond we have now.
Some day, we’ll be able to communicate so well that we’ll hardly need words. She’ll be reading my emotions as well as I read her.
I rise from the bed and grab a towel to wrap around me from the bathroom.
On the porch, I find Finnegan and Alma, along with Cherry’s grandmother.
“Well, well, well. Looks like we’re too late,” Finnegan sneers. “Shocking, as we waited until it’s so bloody light out that my eyebrows are starting to singe.”
What the hell is he talking about?
“Where’s Cherry?” Alma barks, pushing past me.
“Resting,” I say with enough authority to scare an average human. But Alma doesn’t scare easily.
Grandma Morgan follows close behind her, looking me up and down with an assessing gaze, like she still hasn’t decided about me.
That leaves Finnegan on the porch.
“You’ll have to ask Cherry to invite me in, dummy.”
I might as well tell him the truth. I stand aside and motion for him to come in. “I’m inviting you.”
Finnegan’s eyes narrow. “You didn’t mark her. Tell me you didn’t.”
My blank stare tells him that yes, I did mark Cherry with my bite last night. And that she accepted my claim on her as my mate.
