Thank the ancient gods for Jessy and Dain.
“What’s up?” Seff’s arm tightened around my waist.
“Jessy, letting me know they got to Aneta.”
“Oh.” Warm lips pressed soft kisses along my neck. “Shower or bath?”
Truthfully, I’d rather have stayed in bed and made love one more time. Add another tally or two to my list.
We also needed to find the last rogue.
That thought put a serious damper on my good mood.
I sighed, tossed the covers away, and rolled out of the king-sized bed. “Shower.” I shivered as the cool air hit my warm skin. “I think we need a fire.”
“You start our shower, and I’ll take care of the fire.”
I turned to see Seff laying back on the bed with one arm behind his head, the covers thrown back to reveal the length of his magnificent masculine body and his full erection. Till was the only other male I’d seen fully erect in his human form. Yes, Seff was larger all over and taller by six inches. He looked like a male who worked his body hard and often. Nevertheless, for all his muscle and all his power and strength, he was a sweet, gentle, and caring lover.
“Darlin’?”
I blinked, flashing my eyes to his. I’d been staring. Staring at his gloriously hard cock. The same cock that made my mouth suddenly water. I wanted to taste him. I’d never,everfelt the urge to taste a male before. My heart seemed to relocate down low below my abdomen, throbbing with an almost painful pounding pulse.
I cleared my throat and grinned. “Your stamina amazes me. I mean, I never knew making love could be so perfect, beautiful, and so incredibly addicting.” I shook my head. “Gods, I was so naïve.”
Seff groaned. “Holy fuck, Des, get that shower going.”
He moved from the bed and began stalking toward me, a sexy as hell grin on his face. I was ready for him again. I turned and sprinted for the bathroom.
I flipped on the shower and adjusted the water to the right temperature. I caught Seff’s blurry reflection in the steam-covered mirror behind me. He held a folded piece of resort stationery in his hand. Confusion trickled through our bond, then quickly became an entire river.
“What?”
“Deck must’ve...” He shook his head, bewildered, and held the paper out to me.
I recognized my brother’s scribbled handwriting immediately.

Desarae,
The way you tore into that rogue, protected those two little females. Damn. I guess you really love them.
And they love you.
I had no idea you were such a badass female.
So, you and Seff, huh? The ancient gods must know what they’re doing because every time Seff looks at you, he fucking glows. Makes me want to puke.
Anyway, you and Seff should have every chance to adopt the little princess and miss sour-puss. Seff is so damn fearless he’d throw himself in front of this last rogue. And then, yeah, that would be bad. I know you’re a Breeder and can kick my ass seven ways to Sunday, but you have to let me do this.
I may be a dick-waving jerkface, but I still love you.
Deck
And, yeah, you were never dead to me.
“He’s gone.” My heartfelt as though it were torn in two. “We...we have to stop him.”
