the clan gossip in the room, everyone would be told of their
mating, whether they wanted to hear it or not.

They made a quick stop at the small motel
where Jaxson had stayed before meeting her to retrieve his things.
When they returned home, they made love in front of the fireplace
twice before climbing in the actual bed to sleep.
Kate had to admit that it was nice to be held
again after all those lonely years. Jaxson was always so warm, and
he always hugged her close, making her feel protected. I don't need
protecting, but still… He did snore though, but she had been used
to that with her husband. For months and months after Charlie died,
she had to sleep with a radio on because it had been far too
quiet.
Jaxson moved and cupped her breast, giving it
a tight squeeze. "I know you're awake, love. Is something the
matter?"
She turned in his arms to face him. The
moonlight streaming in was made even brighter by reflecting off the
snow and it lit up almost every angle of his face. "Are you going
to Australia?"
He paused at the question. "Not unless you
plan to go with me."
"No thank you." She nibbled nervously at her
bottom lip.
"Obviously my trip around the world has been
canceled. I've found my home. It's wherever you are, Kaitlyn." He
leaned in and slid his mouth over hers, and they were lost for long
minutes, enjoying the addictive taste that mates craved.
He pulled away from the kiss and trailed his
lips down to her chest. "I will have to leave for a little bit, in
order to settle my affairs in London. Will you come with me?"
He suckled on her nipple and she squirmed.
"No. I don't fly…on airplanes."
"Do you take flight?" Jaxson peered up at her
and waited for a nod before he went back to his kisses and
nibbles.
"Yes, as a hawk."
"I've never flown, you must teach me." He
kissed her breast once more. "Tell me of your family, Kaitlyn."
"I have no family. I ran away from home at
twelve and wound up in the circus. I fell when a fireworks display
went off prematurely. There was a net, so I was safe, but I could
not make myself get up there to try again. The circus went on to
their next gig, and I stayed in Pepper Valley. I met my Charlie
here. We were both young and impulsive. We married before either of
us were twenty. Of course, by the time he died, he was beginning to
look as though he could have been my father, while I looked the
same as the day we met."
He nodded, sliding his hand along her side.
"I am glad shifters age slower."
"What about you? Do you have children?" she
asked.
"No. But maybe you are up the pole now." He
placed a few kisses over her flat stomach.
"I don't want to have children. I'm too old,
the time has passed."
"How old are you?" She looked in her early
thirties, but of course, you could never tell a shifter's age by
looks alone.
"Fifty-four."
"I'm fifty-seven. We are not too old to have
children, love. In fact, we have lived long enough that we're ready
to settle down with young ones. Let's do it, Kaitlyn. Let's have a
baby."
"No thank you." She pulled away and turned on
her side, her back to him.
Jaxson laughed. "You do realize we have been
trying, if not consciously." They'd had sex multiple times without
protection. And now that they were mated, the likelihood went up
exponentially.
"You are impossible!" She tugged the covers
closer to her face, fisting the material.
"And you are the sexiest woman I have ever
laid eyes upon," he purred, kissing along her back. He managed get
his knee between her legs and pulled her top leg back over his
waist. "I want you," he whispered, sliding his erection along her
folds.
She gasped and her hand went behind her to
grip his thigh.
He slowly stretched her as he pushed inside.
His hand gripped at her breast. "I want you all day, every day,
Kaitlyn." When he was fully seated, her sex gripped him tight.
"Take me, Jaxson!" she murmured, rolling her
hips to take him deeper.
"Mmm." He flipped her on her stomach, drawing
her hips
