through Ellie.
    Everyone but North.
    But the little bundle of Kade and Mel in his arms calmed him. Something that hadn’t happened in…well…ever.
    Hmm…
    Maddox closed his eyes and sank into the dark, lush armchair. Only twenty-one hours to go, and then they’d be back.
    Thank God.

 
     
    Chapter 7
     
     
    Kade woke up with a soft bottom pressed against his erection, and he closed his eyes again, sinking into his bliss. They’d made love two more times in the night. He felt sated, content, and oddly rested.
    Though they hadn’t slept too much, it was as if the idea of peace made him peaceful. What a novel concept.
    Mel moaned in her sleep and shifted so his cock lay nestled in the crease of her ass. His hips flexed, and she pushed back.
    His little wolf wanted more.
    Kade smiled and beneath the sheet, ran his hand up her naked thigh, over her soft belly, and cupped her heavy breast. She arched into him and turned her head so he could reach her lips, though her eyes were still closed. He lowered his head and kissed her, his tongue darting into her mouth, tangling with hers.
    Her sweet honey-vanilla taste burst on his tongue, making his already hard erection even harder. He ground against her and tweaked her nipple. She moved back and swiveled her hips, teasing.
    Without saying a word, he lowered his hand and lifted her leg. She shifted, and he entered her from behind, oh so slowly. They gasped together, their heartbeats and breaths synchronized. When his thighs lay flush against hers, his cock surrounded by her warmth, he stayed there for a moment, letting peace and their mating bond wash over him. One hand wrapped around Mel, cupping her breast, and the other one lay between her legs, circling her clit. He pulled back and then entered her again and then again. They rocked together slowly, leisurely, restfully. Kade closed his eyes and rested his head against the back of hers and came when she did, their bodies sweaty and loose-limbed.
    “Good morning,” he whispered.
    Mel laughed softly and turned in his arms. “I’d say.”
    He kissed her lips and jaw, nibbling along his way. “I think this is my favorite way to wake up.”
    She sighed and snuggled closer. “I wish we could do this every morning. But then I think about waking up and watching Finn wake. You know?”
    Kade squeezed her. “I know what you mean. We called Maddox yesterday—three times. Everything was going fine.”
    Mel chuckled. “Poor Maddox. He sounded so frazzled.”
    “True. How about while I make you breakfast, you can go outside where we get better service and call Maddox. We’ll shower, and then we can head home early.”
    “Are you sure? I mean, I know we aren’t supposed to head back until later tonight but…”
    “I want to see him too. I think this helped.”
    Mel smiled and bit his jaw. “I know it did. I feel energized and ready to start again.” Despite her words, a shadow passed over her eyes and Kade kissed her brow.
    “Let’s eat and plan. I have a few ideas on what to do for when we get back. Okay?”
    “Okay, I trust you.”
    “Good.”
    They got out of bed, and he threw on his jeans, sans boxer briefs. He liked the way Mel’s eyes darkened every time he went shirtless, so he thought he’d use that for a bit. Mel pulled on a sweater dress and wore nothing underneath it. He groaned and she winked over her shoulder.
    Damn.
    They needed food and to talk before they could leave. Okay, maybe they could make love first.
    Yep. That sounded like a plan.
    Kade shuffled to the kitchen and pulled out the food they’d put in there the night before. Willow had quickly packed an ice chest for their journey and had included her mouthwatering cinnamon rolls. His brother, Jasper, had found a perfect mate in her. Yeah, he and Mel could cook, but they were no Willow.
    He pulled them out and set the oven to warm. He started some coffee, then he pulled out some oranges and bananas. He peeled them and set them on a plate while the
