with each caress.
    He pulled out till just the head of his shaft remained in her, and then sank deep, hitting her womb. He reached down and flicked at her clit. Cara exploded, screaming his name, taking him with her as she flew apart. Her body milked him until he had spilled everything he was into her.
    Raven felt the Shadow symbol sink deep into his flesh, causing a burning pain, as their life forces merged. Bright flashes of light surrounded them. Never again would either of them be alone.
    “Mine . . .” Raven said in satisfaction. Finally, it was done. Cara was his.
    Cara awoke several hours later to find Raven wrapped around her. Never before had she enjoyed such a passionate response to making love. Raven blew her socks off. She wasn’t sure she could move, let alone walk. She moved experimentally. Nothing hurt. Raven’s arm tightened around her and drew her back closer to his chest.
    “Let me hold you,” he whispered in her hair.
    Cara relaxed against him. She liked how he held her tight. It felt so good to be wanted. She had dreamed of this man, wanted him for the four months she had dated him. Snuggling back against him, she felt the proof of his arousal against her behind. A giddy sense of power came over her. He wanted her again.
    “I believe it will always be this way between us, Cara,” Raven murmured as he licked her ear.
    Drat that mind-link thing. Keeping her thoughts to herself seemed impossible now.
    Raven chuckled as his lips skimmed the nape of her neck, causing her to shiver. “Not impossible, just a little harder to do,” he said, moving his lips to her neck and shoulders where he licked and kissed.
    “Shut up and love me,” Cara demanded.
    Raven chuckled again, then nipped her shoulder in reprimand. Cara shuddered, feeling herself go damp. Damn, she wanted this man.
    You are so responsive, Cara. I love how you react to my every touch. The thought slid into her mind, bringing warmth and affection with it. This was her secret fantasy, a man who would know her, see her, and crave her. How could she resist him?
    There is no need to resist, my love. Just enjoy the pleasure I bring you.

    Raven could still taste Cara’s sweet lips as he entered his office at Isanti, Inc., on Monday morning. The weekend had been perfect. Leaving Cara at her apartment was one of the hardest things he had ever done. He wanted her here with him where he could touch her at any time.
    Sitting at his desk, his mind was full of her. How she smiled, how soft her skin was, her sweet taste. Raven groaned as his body responded to his memories. He shifted and squirmed in his chair. He was never going to get anything done this way. Knowing she was in California while he sat in New Mexico only added to his frustration. At least, he could walk through Shadow and get to her almost instantly.
    Needing to touch her, he reached for her thoughts. She was teaching multiplication tables to her class. She felt him brush her mind.
    Miss me already? Her amusement was easily read through the mind link.
    Always.
    I’m a little busy now. Come back later.
    Raven sent a wave of affection and desire flooding into her mind and felt Cara’s instant response.
    Not fair, I have work to do. Go away.
    Raven smiled at her gruff tone, knowing it hid a wealth of emotion behind it. His heart warmed. Cara meant everything to him. How was he going to get anything done today?
    The intercom beeped, and he gratefully flipped the switch.
    “Yes?”
    “Mr. Darkwood, Mr. Running Bear and your brother are here to see you. May I send them in?”
    “Please do, Mrs. Sloane,” he answered.
    Raven looked at the door expectantly. What was up now that required a meeting? The door opened, and they walked in. Derek rubbed his hand through his dark hair and looked pensive. Raven recognized the nervous gesture. He quirked his eyebrow in question, as he looked from his brother to his best friend.
    “Don’t freak out on us,” Derek began. “But, Cara is in
