Aaron yanked him back just before he opened the door to the basement.

“A moment, please, Nikomedes.”

He’d known this ‘moment’ was coming as soon as he’d decided to show Betsy everything. Even before Aaron had called at nine to say the diamond had arrived at the store.

He’d made his decision last night, buried deep inside Betsy as his soul sang in the same rhythm they rocked against each other. There, as he held himself above her in sexual bliss, in communion like he’d never dreamed of, he knew the mating stone was right. He knew this woman below him, clinging to him, calling his name and God’s, was his mate.

Feeling her warm in his arms all night, running his finger through her hair, he started to be disinterested in a life without her there in his bed. This wasn’t lust and desire alone anymore. This was so much more. Shifters, once they found their mate, fell in love hard and fast. He knew, listening to the beat of her heart, she was his and he would do what he had to, to keep her.

She’d come down as a new woman that morning. There was something amazingly resolute about her, a wholly determined person. Niko sensed she didn’t want to hide or run anymore. Several times he thought she was on the verge of telling him the truth, but she shied away.

There was something. She knew something else. A dangerous secret she held close to her chest—and Niko had to brace himself for anything at that point. Still, he knew he had to let her in all the way on his side so she could make her decision honestly. That meant showing her not only the diamond, but the hoard. Which would piss off the other three dragons and all the leprechauns.

But, it was her choice.

She would either accept this as it was, or she would destroy his heart. He wanted to believe she’d changed. And if she didn’t accept it, and chose to go back to robbery and burglary—well.

There were four dragons, versus one human. It wasn’t even a guess who would win that fight. It wasn’t even a fight.

Aaron’s eyes flashed angry gold as they stepped out of view of Betsy. “Are you fucking insane, man? You’re going to show her the fucking gold?”

“You need to back your leprechaun down and realize I have more in my hoard down there than all of you and your mother’s family combined. If anyone has a right to get pissed at me it’s Henry and the others.”

“And did you tell them what utterly fucking boneheaded move you’re about to make?”

“Fuck no. I’m crazy, not stupid.”

Aaron grabbed his arm. “Why? Why are you taking her down there? Of all places?”

“She needs to know everything. Everything, if I have any chance of keeping her.”

“Dude, she’s a thief.”

Niko bared his teeth and growled low. “She’s my mate. What the fuck do you think this is?” He shoved the package in Aaron’s face. “Hint, it’s not soap.”

“I don’t know what the hell that is.
