“Mmmmm,” my mate growls as he pulls out of me, the water from the shower washing over both of us.

I nip at his chin as I put my feet on the floor.

“We need to get ready, my mate,” I say, knowing that look in his eyes. It’s the look that he has when he hasn’t had his fill of me yet.

He leans in nipping at my n*eck. I lift my chin, giving him full access to me. “Are you sure?” he asks, his voice husky with desire.

“Something to look forward to after the call?” I say.

“I can be quick,” he says, and I start laughing.

“Oh my love. You can do many things, but making love to me quickly, isn’t one of them.”

“It’s not my fault that you’re so incredible that I can’t enough of you,” he says.

I don’t know how it is that this man, after so many years can still make me crave him like I’m a teenager. But he does and since he does, I turn, arching my back and pushing against him. “Be quick,” I say, looking at him over my shoulder.

“Never,” he growls as he slides himself inside me slowly, making me arch even h*arder.

We’ve only just finished and are stepping out of the shower when we hear Mason’s phone begin to ring. He grabs a towel and quickly dries himself as he runs to answer the phone.

“Hey sweetheart! Your mother and I are just getting ready to head downstairs to get the room set up. Griffin, Seth and Hana are coming over to join the conference call with us and, of course, we still have several of the other Alphas and Lunas here in your pack. I must say, Jaxon is doing a great job in your absence,” I hear him say as I wrap a towel around my hair and then move to the closet to get dressed.

“Yeah, she’s right here, hold on,” he says. “I need to get dressed anyway.”

He hands me the phone and I see my daughter is on video.

“Where are you?” I ask her.

“Hey mom, I’m in the car. Where’s dad?”

I narrow my eyes at my daughter. I know all of my children. I know every nuance of their moods. I know when they are hiding things from me, I know when they can barely contain their excitement and I know, like now, when they need to tell me something that they don’t want to tell me.

“What’s going on, Jordan?” I say, and I see Mason’s head snap up to look at me. I don’t look at him, I stay focused on my daughter. Something is wrong. “I need to talk to both of you,” she says. “Where’s Jace?” I ask, worried that something might have happened to him. They have both tried to hide it from me, but I’ve known for years from the way Jace looked at my daughter that they were mates. It took a lot for me not to interfere, but I feel good that I’ve let them figure it out and it seems like they are finally getting closer, so I hope this isn’t about their bond.

“I’m right here, Luna,” he says, and Jordan turns the phone. I see that Jace is driving but he turns and smiles into the phone. I know instantly that he and my daughter have been together. This trip has been really good for both of them.

“Good. Now, what is this about?” I ask. “Where’s Dad?” she asks again.

“I’m right here,” he says, coming up behind me.

Jordan’s eyes move to Mason’s. “You should sit down.”

“Jordan…” I begin, but Mason takes my hand.

“Let’s sit, Jara,” he says, and I know he realizes something important is about to be said. He only ever calls me Jara in public or when something is serious. Once we’re settled, Mason takes the phone from me. “We’re sitting Jordan. Tell us what’s going on,” he says.
