SHEENA

Twelve hours ago, I was careening down a slippery mountain, dripping blood, and having a complete mental breakdown. Fast forward five orgasms later, and I'm collapsed in a boneless heap on top of Gideon. If the traffickers kicked down the door right now, I don't even know if I could sit up, much less run away.

For some reason, I’m not too worried about it.

“Why don't you have any blankets on your bed?” I ask. I noticed it when he first tossed me on the mattress, but it didn't seem like the time to bring it up.

“I get hot when I sleep.” He presses a kiss to my temple. “Seems like too much trouble to kick them off, so I don’t bother.”

His skin is warm where it’s pressed against mine, and I can feel his chest moving while he talks. The rumble is comforting and sends a tingle down my exhausted body. The way he talked to me earlier. He may not think he has a way with words, but my body disagrees.

“Should I worry about the purple eyes?” I ask.

“Nah.” Gideon yawns. “It’s sexy. Just a horny supernatural thing.” He sounds like he's about to fall asleep, but I need to know more.

“Okay, but it didn't feel like I was being drained.” I prop myself up on my elbow to look into his eyes. Gideon sighs.

“You weren't using your powers—you were just raw, baby,” he says. “You know how we all look human, most of the time . . . but we're not?”

I nod, following his train of thought.

“Sometimes, when we experience something intense—whether it's emotional or physical—our true self gets closer to the surface. Since we were both feeling a lot, our eyes reflected that. Literally.” He scratches his head, looking to see if I understand.

“That actually makes sense,” I tell him. Immediately, his smile perks up, both dimples making an appearance. I smile back.

“Can you tell me anything else about the mate bond?” I trace a few patterns around his heart, realizing mine hasn't hurt since we reconciled in the gym.

“It's really rare. Like, one in million rare,” he begins, and I snort.

“I mean—purple and golden eyes—it all seems like a fairy tale to me,” I joke.

“I guess so.” He chuckles. “I never really put much thought into finding a mate before, you know? When we walked into that pub looking for leads, I was in a mood. The floor was sticky, I had a headache . . . Then, wham.” He claps his hands together. “It was like lightning struck. I took one look at you and I just knew.”

Gideon’s hold around me tightens, and I feel safe in his arms.

“I thought of a million things to say to you,” he says. “But none of them were good enough. Then you were just gone.”

I grimace at that even though there's no judgment in his voice.

“I don't ever want you to be so scared that you have to run,” Gideon says, his voice dropping an octave. “I won't let anyone else touch you unless you want them to.
