I nod frantically. “Yours.”
I am one hundred percent his, just like I know he’s mine. Maybe it’s just the flush of first love, but I can’t imagine ever feeling this way about anyone else.
“I want you forever,” I say, unable to filter myself when I’m getting the best shagging of my life.
Ethan doesn’t respond with words. Instead he searches my eyes for a moment as he continues to thrust before leaning forward and biting the juncture of my neck and shoulder with human teeth. It doesn’t break the skin, but I know exactly what he’s saying—my best friend is a wolf shifter after all.
My orgasm sweeps through me out of nowhere. The friction of his abs on my cock, combined with the hint that he wants to bond with me? I shoot all over my chest and tie with a loud yell, clenching around the enormous cock still thrusting inside me.
Ethan holds me tighter and kisses me deeply, thrusting once, twice, three times before heat fills my insides. I cling on and kiss him back with everything I have left, which admittedly isn’t much.
When he finally lifts me off him, wetness trickles down my legs. It’s messy and sexy and a little embarrassing when I realise we just did this in the office.
Oh well. He is the boss.
“Okay?” He sets me back on my feet and steadies me until I can stand on my own.
I nod happily. “You want to bond with me?”
He still hasn’t let me go, keeping one arm around my waist even now. He uses his clean hand to brush my cheek with the backs of his fingers. “I think we’re fated mates.”
My eyes widen. “Oh my goddess, really?”
He nods, a slight caution in his eyes that I don’t like.
I throw my arms around him and kiss him again before pulling back. “That’s the best news ever! We should have talkedabout this before; we could have bonded right now. My mum’s grimoire has the spell in it that sorcerers use for bonding. Can we bond today?”
His eyes soften. “You’re sure you want to bond with someone almost twice your age?”
“Pfft, like I give a shit about that.” If anything, his age gives him a level of experience that definitely appeals to me. And the hints of silver in his hair are seriously sexy.
“You don’t have doubts? We haven’t known each other that long,” Ethan points out.
I look at him like he’s crazy. “Shifters know though, right? If not immediately then fairly quickly. And it makes sense of so many things.”
Like why he’s crazy overprotective and why I feel the same, even though he’s perfectly capable of taking care of himself. Why we’ve been drawn to each other right from the beginning. Why my magicreallylikes him.
Ethan nods slowly, a smile growing. “That’s true. But sweet thing, I don’t think we should bond today.”
I pout immediately. “Why not?”
“Because it means leaving your coven. They won’t accept our relationship and once we’ve bonded, I refuse to hide it.”
“No, of course not.” It’s already at the point where we shouldn’t be hiding our relationship. Knowing we’re fated? Yeah, that reinforces the point.
But fuck, I’m not sure I’m ready to say goodbye to my entire coven. It’s a lot, even if the people I work with here are becoming like family to me.
“Maybe I do need a little time. To say goodbye in my head, I guess.” I stare at his chest until he tips my chin up.
“Whenever you’re ready, sweet thing.” He kisses me softly, then looks around the room with a frown. “I might have to go to the bathroom to find something to clean you up with.”
Just then, there’s a knock on the door. The privacy ward tells me it’s Raj, so I lower it.
Ethan looks me over with a smirk. “What’s up, Raj?”
The door opens a crack but Raj doesn’t look in. “Sorry to interrupt.”
Raj’s voice sounds unhappy and his scent must be too because Ethan rushes to the door and flings it open, blocking me from Raj’s view.
