He let me grind my hips down on his face, taking my pleasure as I wanted, and he hummed as if it felt just as good to him as it did for me. I let my head fall back against the wall as I rubbed my p***y against his mouth. Kaden gave and gave and gave, using his tongue and his fingers to keep me right on the brink for what felt like an eternity.

"Kaden!" I finally shouted, knowing I would die if he didn't make me come right this minute.

He chuckled against me, and then his other hand slid down my ass, to my other hole. I gasped as he circled it once and then slowly worked his way inside. f*****g me from two different angles, while he sucked hard on my c**t. I absolutely exploded with pleasure, coming hard against his mouth and around his fingers, crying and begging for him to stop and keep going all at once. I was pretty sure my legs gave out at one point, unable to hold me through the orgasm rushing through me, but Kaden somehow kept me in place.

He didn't stop though. Not until he'd dragged every single drop of pleasure out of me. Only then did he release me.

His eyes found mine again as he slowly stood up, catching me in his arms as I nearly melted all over the floor. He picked me up and carried me to the bed, which wasn't far since this hotel room wasn't anywhere near as large as the penthouse. I was still in a daze as he kissed me on the lips softly and pulled a blanket over me.

"Feeling better?" he asked.

"Much," I managed.

"Good." He pressed a kiss to my forehead. "Get some rest, little wolf."

I gazed up at him, surprised he wasn't removing his clothing or climbing into bed with me, but he headed for the door instead. True to his word, he'd kept it all about me. He gave everything and took nothing in return. Which, naturally, only made me crave even more.

"Stay," I said.

Kaden paused, took one long breath, and turned back to me. He climbed on top of the covers, propped up a pillow behind him, and grabbed the TV remote. "Let's watch some of that cheesy baking show you like. Then we can order something for dinner. Chinese? Indian? What do you think?"

"I'd like that."

As he turned on the show, he wrapped his arm around me and I snuggled up against him.

It felt like coming home.

It felt like fate.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

I breathed in the brisk New Mexico air and studied the cave opening Jordan had told us was the main entrance. The Scorpio pack lived underground in tunnels and caverns, an interconnected system that was a maze to anyone who wasn't familiar with them. I couldn't teleport us inside, since I'd never been there before. We only had Jordan's memory to rely on, and he hadn't been to visit the Scorpios in a few years, so we were mostly going in blind.

"I spot two guards," Kaden said, using his hand to shield his eyes from the sun. He was keeping us all invisible while we made a plan since there was nowhere to hide here. There was nothing around for miles except rocks and shrubs. "Shouldn't be a problem."

Stella rubbed her arms. "I thought it would be warmer here. Isn't New Mexico supposed to be hot?"

"Not in January," Jordan said. "It's still a hell of a lot warmer than Toronto."

"Yeah, but I'd rather be back in Toronto," she snapped.

Jordan arched an eyebrow. "Why are you here then?"

She huffed. "I'll take any excuse to sink my teeth into a Leo."

A cocky grin spread across Jordan's face. "I'm into that if you are."

"What?" Stella's eyes widened, and then her lips curled in disgust. "Ugh!"

She stomped away to the other side of our group, moving beside Jack. Jordan shrugged and turned back to studying the cave entrance with Kaden and me. I gave him a sharp look. The two of them had been driving me crazy the entire way here. I'd been surprised when Stella had volunteered to come with us, but grateful since her invisibility might be useful. She'd avoided Jordan as much as possible though, as if she couldn't stand to be near him. Naturally, this had turned into a challenge for Jordan, who seemed determined to get close to her as much as possible.

"What?" Jordan asked, his face the picture of innocence.

"Don't antagonize her."

He shrugged again. "She brought that on herself."

"Enough," Kaden said, clearly annoyed with all of us. "Let's get ready to move."

It had been a long flight, followed by a long drive to the caverns, and everyone was tired and anxious about what we were about to do. No wonder we were all cranky. But at Kaden's command, we pulled ourselves together and grew serious once more. Jack signaled for the three other Ophiuchus warriors to fall into position with him and Stella, fanning out behind the two alphas and myself. We'd brought the warriors mainly for show since, if all went well, only Jordan would be doing any fighting. It never hurt to be cautious though, and we were prepared to fight—or escape—if necessary.

I wished Harper and Dane could have come with us, but Kaden had decided they should stay behind to guard the hotel in case the vampires or Sun Witches attacked again. It was for the best, since this would be the perfect opportunity for an ambush while we were gone.

"Ready?" Kaden asked.

Jordan nodded, his eyes fixed on the guards in front of us, his back straight and determined. Leo confidence and bravery radiated from him like sunlight. I pitied anyone who tried to deny him his right to be alpha today. "Ready."

Kaden let our invisibility drop. For a second, I marveled at how his magic—along with Stella's—had grown over the last few months, all thanks to Larkin's training. Before, he'd had to touch me to keep us both invisible, and I hadn't been able to see myself or him. Now he could conceal multiple people from a distance, and we were able to see each other the entire time.
