he’ll be joining us.”
    “Are you all right? I was worried. I’m sorry I couldn’t stay away.
    The need to see you drove me crazy. I just had to check to make sure you were okay.”
    She floated before him. He looked down into her face, feeling a pull to embrace her in his arms. Her smile was dazzling. The breath completely left him.

    “I’m fine, as you can see. Actually, I feel better than fine. I’m outstanding.” He watched her smile slowly fade away. “Cole, why aren’t you looking for a mate? Would you like me to help you?”
    A sigh left his lips. Why was everyone worried about him finding a mate? Couldn’t he just stay there with them? Yes, he wanted children, but it wasn’t a priority on his list. He still had plenty of time.
    “No, Marley. I don’t need help.”
    Her face studied his until he felt his chest ache. The need to leave and to stay tore at him. He wanted to be here with her, but not if all she wanted to do was pawn him off on someone else.
    “You seem upset.” She wrapped her arms around his waist, and it took everything he had to hold in a groan from her firm breasts pushing against him. His hands hovered midair. Would touching her be his undoing? The control he had over body slipped with every second that passed. Giving in, he felt his fingers grip into the soft flesh of her back.
    “I was just worried. I’m not upset. Why don’t you try to go back to sleep, Marley. If you want, I’ll watch over you tonight.”
    Her eyes looked up into his, and a smile transformed her face. The hardness of his cock almost made him double over.
    “There are better things than sleep. We could continue where we left off.”
    Cole could feel himself start to shake. Nothing more would make him happier than to pleasure Marley’s body, but not if it endangered her.
    “You’re sick.”
    “I am not sick! I wish people would stop saying that.”
    She jerked back and her form began fading. Her connection grew weak with the anger she experienced. Panic left him pausing for words to say.
    “All right, you’re not sick. Don’t leave me, Marley. Please, don’t leave.”
    “No, Cole I’m serious, I’m not sick. I’m…” She trailed off.

    “If you say you’re not sick, I believe you. Just come back to me.”
    He reached for her, pulling her close. The solidness of her body amazed him. The fading stopped, and she was as human as if they were truly together.
    “Let me please you, just one more time.”
    Marley laughed. “Didn’t we say that last time? Seriously, I’m not myself right now, Cole. We shouldn’t do this. You need to experience this with your mate. Not with me.”
    The words tore at Cole’s heart. Dammit! He wanted her as his mate. No one else would do. Why did everything have to be so complicated?
    “One more time, Marley, and I swear I’ll really look for someone.”
    As he studied her face, he noticed her eyes narrowed at him. “All right. One more time and then you look for a mate,” she whispered.
    Cole’s lips lowered to hers, kissing her passionately. The taste that filled his mouth swamped his senses. He originally planned on taking things slow, but something inside of him broke, pulling all of his emotions to the surface.
    Their mouths grew more desperate with a need neither one of them seemed to be able to control. Marley ripped his clothes off easily beneath her fingers. Shocked, he paused, looking down at her. The vibrant green of her eyes was glowing. Something told him he should stop, but he couldn’t. He wanted her more than ever.
    Pulling at the silk of her gown, he felt it fall apart in his hand. His lips connected with her nipple, causing her to cry out. Biting down gently, he pulled it between his teeth. A moan accompanying her hand gripping into his hair only encouraged him and drove him faster.
    His fingers buried deep inside of her pussy, exploring and caressing every inch he could touch. Spasms rocked her
