Chapter Ten

Eventually I made the oath, outside under the stars, with the light breeze wafting around us.

“Are you sure you do not wish to mate?” Baltic asked politely as soon as he confirmed the oath, swearing to honor and protect me above all others. “I know how you like to be outside. We could do it out here, if you like.”

I chuckled to myself. “Thank you, but until I have a chance to talk to my husband, sex will be out.”

A sly look came into his eyes as he slowly pulled me over to his body. “There was another time when you refused to let me bed you, and yet we still managed to bring exquisite pleasure to each other.”

“Yes,” I said, unable to keep my mouth from moving toward his. My lips brushed his with a wanton display of need. “I very much enjoyed that dream.”

“It was not a dream, chérie,” he murmured against my mouth, his hips moving with persuasive sweeps against mine. “It happened. It can happen again.”

“Except this time, I’m not a naïve seventeen- year-old who doesn’t know what she’s doing,” I said, moaning softly when his mouth moved over to my neck, his lips burning my flesh, but it was a good burn, a heat that set my entire body alight.

He pulled back for a moment, his lips curling at the edges. “You knew what you were doing by the time we reached France.”

I shared the smile until I felt his hands on the waistband of my jeans. I covered them with mine. “Baltic . . . I’m sorry. I can’t. It’s . . . there’s too much up in the air. I’m not comfortable doing this with you until I talk to—”

He covered my mouth with his, stopping the words. “I won’t do anything you do not desire, chérie. But you have spoken the words of fealty, and you are now my mate. You must bear the mark of my sept.”

I held on to his shoulders as he unzipped my jeans, sliding his hands over to my hips, pushing the material down. “Just where exactly do you intend to put this mark?”

He grinned as he cupped me intimately, his thumb rubbing on my pubic bone. “I thought here.”

“Well, you can bloody well think again!” I said, squirming against him nonetheless.

“Here?” He touched the crease of my thigh.

“That would hurt like hell. No.”

“How about here?” He pulled me to him, his hands on my butt, giving my cheeks a little squeeze.

“I’m thinking that’s fairly disrespectful, don’t you?”

He gave a mock sigh, then whipped off my sweatshirt before I could protest, nuzzling my breasts. “Then it will have to be here.”

“Over my heart?” I thought about that for a moment. It pleased me. “All right. Wait—don’t you have one?”

“I was the only member of the sept until you accepted me. You will have to give me the mark.”

I was about to tell him I hadn’t the slightest clue how to go about doing that when he opened his mouth and breathed fire on me.
