Chapter Nineteen

Petur collapsed against him, sending them both onto their knees in the loamy soil, but Deyvid didn’t care. He was so relieved to be holding Petur once more, finally, to be able to hold him with an open heart instead of looking at him with resentment and anger festering inside. It was like a blessing from the Three.

Things weren’t back to normal between them yet—the air was clearer, but the problems that had been exposed, Petur’s desire to hide things away, and Deyvid’s insistence on pursuing dangerous paths, still dogged them. And Sy …

Sy was still unwell. And might get worse. Would get worse if what had happened to his mother was any indicator, and then they would break all over again, but for now, Deyvid was taking the relief for the gift it was.

He slid his hands beneath Petur’s jaw and tilted his head up, and the second Deyvid could see Petur’s lips he latched onto them, leaning in and bracing himself against his lover’s chest as he kissed him hard, with desperate gratitude.

He felt the moment the shifter took over inside of Petur, when the man was relegated to the back of the brain, and instinct surged to the fore. Petur bared his teeth against Deyvid’s lips, grabbed his hair, and twisted it in his grasp until Deyvid’s throat was exposed, then leaned in and pressed his mouth to the side of Deyvid’s neck. He breathed, deep and long, licking the skin of his neck and down to his collarbone, ripping the cloth there back when it got in the way of his exploration.

Deyvid didn’t stop him, didn’t chide him about destroying his clothes or fight with him over his bestial display. This was still Petur, an indelible and unmovable part of him. Deyvid had known that from the very start, when this part of his lover had nearly killed him. He had held firm then and every time the beast had come out since. He wasn’t going to falter, not with so much on the line.

Petur growled as he tongued the skin right over Deyvid’s heart, which was beating an eager tattoo, relishing the closeness of his lover, his mate. Sy was their heart, the sweet softness they could share, whereas things between Petur and Deyvid had always been … spikier. Real, though, strong and real, and as Petur’s clawed hands grasped Deyvid’s shoulders and pressed him back onto the ground, the prick of them against his bare skin was nothing but a goad to his pleasure.

Deyvid managed to push his breeches down over his hips before Petur could rip them apart too, knowing where this was going, but it was still a shock when Petur took him into his mouth. His teeth were sharp, sharper and longer than a man’s teeth ever could be. Deyvid couldn’t remember the last time they’d made love when Petur was so close to a shift, and his head swam with passion and heat. He didn’t mind the danger, but he knew Petur would, so he did his best to mitigate things before Petur marked him too much.
