but the gentlemen in me wasn’t having it. She was at peace, exactly where she’d stay as long as she liked.
    But when she woke up, all bets were off. Now that I’d had her, I wasn’t sure I’d ever be able to get enough.
    It was the fever.
    But more than that, she was my mate.
    Mine.
    The word reverberated through my mind, filtered through my body, and filled my soul. She was mine. And I was hers.
    I knew without a doubt that my entire life had just changed. She was a movie star, a darling of the big screen. She’d never be content living in Bayou Basin for the rest of her life, the wife of a security professional. At some point, once we caught the bastard who was stalking her, she’d go back to L.A., and I’d go with her.
    It would be hard on my brothers. Ever since they’d both gone and had cubs, they’d been relying on me to pick up the extra work at the firm, but they’d figure it out. Maybe hire help. Maybe scale back. But whatever they did, it would have to be without me.
    I’d found my mate. They’d understand.
    “Hey you,” Amberly said, her voice full of sleep and sex.
    A smile claimed my lips as I brushed a lock of hair out of her eyes. “Hey yourself, princess. Have a nice nap?”
    She shook her head slightly and reached for me. “I missed you.”
    “I was right here the entire time.”
    “I know.” Her hand curled around the back of my neck, tugging me down. “I dreamed we were making love. Now I’m all worked up and in need of your cock between my legs.”
    A shot of pure lust made me throb with need, and I rolled over on top of her, nearly losing my mind when she reached for me. “Do you have any idea what it does to me when you say things like that?”
    She nodded and guided my cock right where she wanted it. “Yes. It’s effective in getting results.”
    Her sweet heat enveloped me as I pressed into her, slowly, taking my time to savor every inch of her. She tilted her hips and arched into me, sighing when I finally filled her.
    I held still for a moment, letting her body adjust to me. “Okay, princess?” I whispered.
    She nodded and let her eyes close. “More than okay. Perfect.”
    “That’s what I like to hear.” I lowered my head, scraped my teeth down her long neck and pumped my hips.
    “That drives me crazy,” she said as she wrapped her long legs around my waist, taking me even deeper.
    “I noticed,” I murmured and nibbled at the swell of her breast.
    “Cole?”
    I lifted my head and smiled at her. “Yeah?”
    She moved her hands to my ass and squeezed. “I think you’ve ruined me.”
    My smile widened as pleasure wound through me. I pumped my hips slowly, enjoying the rapture on her face. “Yeah? How’s that? Have I turned you into a sex addict?”
    “Yes, but that’s not how you’ve ruined me,” she said, running a nail down my spine as she moved with me.
    Damn, that felt good. I arched my back like a cat and thrust, eliciting a small moan from her. “Because I’ve turned you into a sex goddess?”
    “I already was a sex goddess.”
    “True.” I slipped one arm under her leg, raising it even higher. Then I paused and stared down at her. “All right, how did I ruin you?”
    She pressed her palm to my cheek, held my gaze and whispered, “After just one night, you’ve ruined me for anyone else. You’re it. The one. My mate.”
    My heart swelled and nearly exploded at those words. “You’re right. We’re mates. Nothing can change that now. I hope you don’t mind putting up with me for the next seventy-five years, because where ever you go, I go.”
    Contentment transformed her face as she smiled up at me lazily. “Mates. I’m yours and you’re mine.”
    “That’s right,” I said. “You’re mine and I’m yours.”
    “Yours,” she agreed.
    I held her gaze for just a moment, and then I started to move, showing her exactly what it meant to belong to me.

    I woke to the faint sound of a motor buzzing in the distance and sat straight up,
