Heather reached out to Maria in the passenger seat and shook her awake. “No sleeping, I have a bone to pick with you, and it’s a big one.”

Maria snorted a chuckle. “Sounds like you should find a wolf to play bones with.”

“Yeah,” Heather said, eyeing the road and trying to keep an eye on Maria at the same time as she flicked a look at the vampire’s car behind her. “About that wolf shifter?”

“I’m tired,” Maria said. “Just gonna shut my eyes.”

“You close your eyes, and I’ll put magical matchsticks in them to keep them open,” Heather warned, and all she got back was silence – then Maria snorted a snore, so she zapped her.

“Hello!” Maria said, jumping in her seat and moving to get comfortable.

“Stay awake and tell me about the mates,” Heather said. “It’s important and could save a life.”

“Whose?” Maria whispered, trying to stay awake.

“Yours.” Maria giggled and then snorted a snore. Heather rolled her eyes. “Ugh! This is not working.”

When she zapped Maria, the witch didn’t move, but she did snort again. There was only one thing for it; she needed to sober this witch up fast.

Zoe came down on Billy’s body and huffed a breath. His muscles were rock hard, and her landing wasn’t exactly soft, but his lips were, and when he turned her onto her back on the bed and caged her in, she didn’t care about a little bruising.

Billy pulled back and looked down at her. “You know if we mate now, you are mine; there’s no going back?” he asked. He needed to know she understood.

“You know if you don’t mate with me now, I’m going to cut off your thing – just because?” she said breathlessly.

Billy pursed his lips as he took a second to consider her words. “Sounds like a plan then,” he said.

Zoe chuckled, and it sounded wicked to his ears. His wolf was clawing to be released so they could mark her, but Billy slammed that cage door shut on his beast.

His mate was one hell of a crazy woman, and their first time together wasn’t going to be rushed by his wolf getting antsy. He had her right where he wanted her, and for the rest of their days – he was going to take his sweet time.

Zoe tugged on his jog pants, and he was out of them in record time. A few moments later and they were both naked. But that was it for speed – he was going slow right now.

When Zoe hooked her legs around his waist and tried to yank him towards her, it finally dawned on him that she wasn’t about going slow, that she wanted him, and now.

Billy pushed back and broke the hold her legs had on him. He needed to taste her on his tongue, and he wouldn’t be denied that pleasure.

“But…” Zoe said when he started to retreat down her body, the hungry, wolfish grin he gave her made her forget why she was about to protest.

Zoe watched as he nipped and licked his way across her breasts, down her stomach and settled those broad shoulders between her inner thighs. She took a breath just as his flat tongue took a long swipe over her feminine folds, and she exhaled, closed her eyes, bit her lip, and held onto the covers for the ride.

“You grab one foot, I’ll grab the other, and we can bang her head along the snowy drive,” Heather said. “That should wake her up by the time we get to the cabin.”

Duncan pulled back and stared at the witch; Heather blinked twice. “You can not be this diabolical,” he said.

Heather screwed up her face and shrugged. “Meh,” she said.

“This is your best friend,” Duncan reminded her.

“I have two more,” Heather said.

Duncan held up his hands. “Okay, stop,” he said.

Heather did; she even let out a long breath and took a second as she stared at him, waiting. When he said nothing, she scowled. “Some of us age.”
