I WASN‘T sure what I had expected when Logan and I finally emerged

from the shower, but us just talking was a revelation. That it could just be filling him in, explaining what had happened without the drama of tears and a big gut-wrenching cathartic scene felt so much more than right. I just wanted my life back. I wanted to be me, Jin, the guy who worried about laundry and bills and putting gas in the car and when the best time would be to talk about kids with the guy I wanted to have them with. I needed my time with my mate to be like coming home, and that was exactly how he made it.

He asked questions, but he didn‘t press. He listened intently when I answered, but he waited while I formed my thoughts. In turn, because I was unhurried and he didn‘t judge me, I was able to relate my whole journey, and I calmed even more because I was talking to him like I normally did, going over the events of my day.

He had carried me from the shower and put me in his lap as he gently towel-dried my hair. Once that was done, he tenderly brushed it. I closed my eyes, loving the feel of the tug of the bristles, the slide over my scalp, his hands on me.

I love to do this, he confessed, pressing a kiss to the spot where my neck and shoulder met. I love it when you let me.

I‘m not an invalid.

I know that.

I leaned my head back. Forgive me.

For what?

Being stubborn and— My throat closed up.

All that fight you‘ve got in you, that kept you alive while we were apart, he said, his voice hoarse. And besides, I like you giving me crap. Arguing with you is some of the most fun I have.

I nodded, and his lips sealed over mine. I wanted him, desired him, and had to absolutely drown myself in him. When his tongue slid over the seam of my lips, I parted them instantly. His mouth slanted down over mine, and he buried his tongue in my throat. My arms wrapped around his neck as he hugged me tight, pressing me against his heart.

Oh, I wish, he groaned, the agony and wanting there in his voice.

Why not? I breathed the question against his mouth.

Because we have to appear in the hall before the priest, he told me.

My eyes drifted open and I saw the dark-gold eyes looking at me like I was everything. I felt my stomach twist.

You have to change and come sit beside me and finally be presented as my mate and my reah, he said, kissing me softly, quickly. I want everyone to see who you belong to.

The semel-aten said that if you couldn‘t assure my safety that he—

Love, he stopped me, his fingers sliding through my hair, we both know that any threat of his is just that, a threat and nothing else. No one can take you away from me but the priest and only at your request.
