gave a broken laugh. “I might be inside you but we both know who’s in charge.”
    “I’m glad you admit that.”
    Seeing the desperate look on Payce’s face, Kevin crawled over his lover’s body. He positioned his hole right over his mate’s rigid staff. Taking a calming breath, he slowly lowered himself over Payce’s cock, relaxing his body as he sank down, accepting his mate.
    “Whatever you do, don’t move,” Payce warned.
    “Why not?”
    “Because this will be the shortest mating in history if you wiggle on my cock.” Kevin laughed.
    “Don’t do that either.” Payce sucked in his breath and closed his eyes.
    Kevin thought he heard Payce muttering numbers. Leaning forward, he brushed his neck against Payce’s soft lips. “Bite me, darlin’, make me yours.” A PRIDEFUL MATE

    From the way his lover was trying to keep control, Kevin thought the jaguar shifter was reluctant.
    A low growl ripped from his mate. Wood splintered, as Payce shattered the headboard and foot posts. Kevin’s world spun, as Payce flipped him over onto his back, plunging in and out of Kevin like he would die if their two bodies didn’t merge.
    Payce’s black eyes flared with sparks of gold as he looked down at his mate.
    “Mine!” The jaguar looked down at him through the face of a man.
    Kevin tilted his neck, giving submission to the only man, besides his alpha, who he would ever submit to.
    Fangs plunged into Kevin’s skin, biting deep into his mating spot between neck and shoulder. The one place he’d never let his casual lovers touch in the past. Pleasure ripped through Kevin’s body as his mate continued to claim him in a delightfully thorough manner.
    “Yes,” he whispered. Cum spurted out of his body as, unable to keep pleasure inside, it sought to escape.
    With a roar, Payce’s liquid spilled inside him and the jaguar collapsed.
    Kevin stayed there for a long moment before realising his mate wasn’t moving. A low purring resulted from his discreet nudge. “Darlin’, I don’t like to nitpick but if you don’t move my lungs are gonna collapse.”
    His body jolted from Payce’s laughter. To his relief the large man slid off him, curled up on his side and wrapped his long arms around Kevin.
    The purring continued.
    “Happy?”
    “Mmhmm.”
    “Good. I think we’re gonna need a new bed.”
    Payce laughed, a soft chuffing sound that probably came from his cat side. “Maybe we should get one made out of metal.”
    “Maybe,” Kevin said before curling up beside the warm body of his mate and falling asleep.

    Payce woke up feeling better than he ever had before. Looking down, he smiled at the beautiful man at his side. Kevin had more going for him than good looks; he was beautiful inside too. Payce had thought Kevin would freak when he shifted yesterday, but his mate took everything in stride with his usual calm.
    Giggles outside the door turned his attention to the doorway.
    Payce quickly covered his body. Living with shifters, the children probably were used to naked people, but he was feeling oddly self-conscious to be found in their father’s bed.
    A soft knock followed more giggles.
    “Come in,” he said it softly so he didn’t wake up Kevin, but loud enough for the children to hear.
    The older one walked in carrying a tray of food. His younger brother closed the door behind him. The kid must have a spring in his ass because he bounced like he couldn’t keep still.
    “Mommy said you might be hungry.”
    Guilt wormed its way into Payce. Here he’d all but attacked her and she was sending him food. He’d have to go down and talk to her.
    “That was nice of her, tell her I said thank you.”
    “’kay.”
    Payce sat up so Quinn could put the tray across his lap. The spread was huge. Eggs, bacon, pancakes and fresh juice covered the tray in large piles.
    “Where’s your mother?”
    “She went hunting with the aunts.”
    “Are all the
