“Do you have anything about her? We’ll have to make sure to contact her before we can do anything with adopting the kids.” She told her the name that Trent had called her. “Daphne Agilent should be easy enough to track down.”

After giving the information to Ethan, she begged him to take her out that evening. She didn’t even care if they were to just drive around. She needed some fresh air so that she could feel like today had been washed off her. He told her that they’d do that, and then in the morning, the children would come home to them. She didn’t tell him that the kids would more than likely not be theirs as this sister, whomever she was, would want them for no other reason than that they did. When Rita spoke again, her heart broke for the other woman.

“I don’t have a will. I don’t have anything left for anyone to want. But I’ll make one out as soon as I can find someone to come here for it if you can arrange it for me.” She said she’d doher best. “Thank you. I…I don’t want to live any longer. I’ve lived several lifetimes in my thirty-one years, and right now, all I can think about is closing my eyes and never opening them again. I’m done with life. But I’ll wait to get things settled for you and your husband.”

Rita laid back down on the cot and told her that she could go, that she was talked out. She started to ask her why she’d killed Trent, but Shawn thought that she had the answer. As she was walking away, carrying the chair with her, she sobbed quietly in her tissue until she got to her car. Then she let it go like a storm rolling over her body.

The loud knocking at her window had her nearly screaming. It was her son and he was demanding her to allow him back in the house. Having had too much going on in the last few hours, she put her car in gear and drove off. Sure, it was going to piss him off, but right now, she thought that was better than killing him. Which she might well end up doing anyway if he didn’t stop with the way he was treating her.

Ethan was home when she got there. He didn’t say anything but picked her up in his arms and carried her up the stairs. Once there, he stripped her down, removing each piece without a word until she stood before him naked. Picking her up once again, he gently laid her in the tub, which had been filled with hot, soapy water. It was the perfect balm for her battered heart and soul.

After he washed her hair twice and rubbed the large sponge over her body over and over, she was ready to speak. But before she could get a word out, he took his own clothing off. It was soaked anyway, and he got into the tub with her, spooning her from behind. She could feel all his muscles and his cock digging slightly into her back.

“Today was a marathon of a shitty day for us both.” She asked him what had happened to him. “I had a huge fight with Finn.Christ, he is one of five of the most stubborn people I know, and that’s saying a great deal. My older brother is like that.”

“I noticed, but for now, I don’t want to know what…okay, yes I do. Tell me what you got into a fight with him about.” He started off by telling her that he had laid in waiting for someone to come to the gate, and then it progressed from there. “I’m assuming that you didn’t allow him in.”

“Nah. He did tell me that he was going to have to have something done about me but I don’t think he has the balls to stand up to me. For any reason. Anyway, I called up to the house, and since you’d already had his things packed up, I had them bring them down to him in that moving van. That was smart thinking on your part to have it there until he came around. You’re a very brilliant, beautiful woman.” When he kissed her on the neck, she shivered. “Don’t distract me just yet. I have more to tell you.”

“Then you should keep your lips to yourself. Tell me what he said or you said and then we’re going to bed. This might be our last chance before we have a houseful of children starting tomorrow.” She shivered again, thinking about having four children in their home when it had been so long since Shamus had been born. “Also, the furniture arrived before I left this morning.”

“I had my brothers help me put it together. Let’s see. Shamus was waiting for me at the gate. I don’t think that he was waiting for me but for you, but that’s the feeling that I got. Anyway, I hadn’t been there but for a second, but I have a feeling that the guard knew that he was waiting for me. Anyway, once I got out of the car, he started in on me, how I was taking advantage of you, and so on.” She leaned back against his chest, exposing her neck for him to do what he wanted. “You’re very tempting, did you know that?”

“What I know is, is that you’re dragging out this story toolong. Tell me what happened.” Ethan laughed. “Get to the end so that we can get to bed. I’m horney.”

The burst of laughter had her smiling, too. “I knocked the shit out of him, told him not to come back, then had him arrested for trespassing. I’m assuming that they’ve freed him since you had an encounter with him as well.” Ethan stood up, and she could see his cock in its full glory. “Come on. I have plans for that lovely body of yours.”

~*~

Ethan so wanted to take his time with Shawn but he was just too greedy right now to even care if she came or not. That wasn’t true. He’d give his life in wanting to give her as much pleasure as he could. And he was going to do so even if it killed him. And with the way that she was looking at him, he had a feeling that his days were numbered.

“I’d very much like to touch you all over your body.” He nodded, the knot in his throat too tight to allow him to speak. “Then, when I’m finished touching every part of you, I’m going to take your cock into my mouth and suck you dry.”

“Christ, woman.” He watched as she did as she’d said. Her touch was gentle, her breath after each kiss she gave his body hot against his skin. When she took his nipple into her mouth, he held her there, holding her tightly against his chest until she pulled back. “I love you.”

“And I love you. So very much.” As she continued touching him with her fingers and mouth. It was nearly too much but not enough as well. Picking her up, she pouted prettily at him, and he told her that it was too much.

Taking her to the bed, he laid her in the middle and nearly fell atop her. When his cock was near her entrance, trying to be gentle, he slammed forward, his cock going to the root even as he moved to her mouth. His tongue fucked her mouth as he did her pussy, and she met him stroke for stroke. Christ, his own releasewas running down his spine, and when she ached up under him, digging her nails into his shoulder, Ethan bit hard into her shoulder until he tasted blood as he came with her.

He drank her blood greedily. He’d never been one for biting during sex, but he felt that if he didn’t take his fill of her, he’d die. Lifting his head, still moving in and out of her hard, Ethan said her name. It was like honey to his mouth. Her name meant it all to him. Just as her heart did to him. It was like he’d never been in love until this very moment.

“I want you to bite me.” She shook her head. “You can do it. Bit me in the throat. Draw blood and drink from me. I want you to mark me as well. My lion wants to have a bit of you. He’s in love with you as much as I am.”

“I can’t hurt you. I won’t do it. I love you too much to want to cause you any pain.” Ethan growled that his cat demanded that she mark him. Shawn wrapped her legs around his hips, bringing her pussy hard against his body. “Please. I need to come again. I need it so bad that I’m hurting for it.”

Ethan moved her mouth to his throat. He could feel her teeth as she scrapped them over his skin and knew a new kind of pleasure when she suckled his flesh into her mouth. When he pounded her again, taking her as hard as he could without hurting her, she screamed out her release and sank her teeth into him.

The world seemed to tip and roll. His body, ready to fill her again, seemed to rocket out his cum. Ethan was dizzy with it, knowing too that it was going to be epic when he came again. If it didn’t kill him. He bit into her flesh, anywhere he could find it, and tasted her blood as she screamed again around his throat.

Ethan held her to him, his cock still taking her even as his balls emptied completely. When she dropped away from him, her arms falling at her side, Ethan held her, fucking her gently now as he watched her eyes close.

He didn’t stop until his own body was spent and too satisfied other than to drop atop her. Ethan, using the last of his strength, rolled to his back, taking her with him, and wrapped her into his arms. Closing his eyes, he realized two things almost at once. He had a mate and he was in love with her just that fast.

When he woke, he was alone in the bed. Just as he was getting up to go and see where Shawn had gone, he saw her coming from the bathroom. Once she was in bed, he had to warm her up a bit before she stopped shivering. Even moving his arms and hands over her body made him realize just how sore he was after making love to his mate.

“Don’t think that you’re going to get lucky again tonight. I’m about as sore as I’ve ever been.” He laughed, and she punched him gently in the belly. She lay there for several moments, and he felt himself drifting off. “I love you, Ethan. I don’t think that there are enough words in the world, in any language, that could tell you just how much you mean to me.”

“I love you so very much, too, Shawn. Will you be my wife?” She nodded and then yawned. “How about we sleep in tomorrow, then make love all afternoon until we can’t stand up?”
