bottle to sniff the
    fragrance. It was overly sweet and made him sneeze. Mina laughed at him and reclined on her bed. She patted the space beside her and he shook his head. As much as he wanted her, he knew it was better that they talk a little more. Once he got between her thighs, he doubted much conversation was going to happen.
    “What do you want from me, Mina? What do you want out of life?”
    “I want my mate by my side. I want to make a home with our baby and you.
    And I don’t care where that home is. We can live in the one you already have, or we can buy something new. As long as I’m with you, that’s all that matters.”
    “My home is small. Only two bedrooms. If we keep getting pregnant this easily,
    we may need a bigger place to stay.”
    Mina stood and came over to him. “I have some money saved. Daddy has given
    each of us an allowance all our lives and I’ve spent very little of mine. I know it’s a matter of male pride to take care of your mate and cub, but let me help buy a new home for us.”
    She was right. It was a matter of pride, and he didn’t like the idea of taking
    money from her, especially money her father had given her. But at the same time, he knew if he accepted her help, he’d be able to buy a much bigger home for their family.
    “We’ll make an appointment soon with a realtor and see what we find. If I need
    your money to help buy the house, I’ll accept it.”
    She toyed with the hem of his tee. “So…now that we’ve gotten all of that out of the way, is there any chance I can get you out of these clothes and naked in my bed?”
    “I don’t know…” He backed her across the room until he pressed her against the
    wall. “These walls look awfully sturdy. What do you say we christen them first? And if you’re a good girl, we’ll move on to the bed, the floor, and then the shower.”
    She smiled. “Challenge accepted. Think we can do all that by noon? I eat at every meal and sometimes between.”
    “Then I guess I better hurry with this first round so I can go find you a snack.”
    He kissed her hungrily, his tongue delving into her mouth. She kissed him back
    with just as much passion, her arms twining around his neck, as she hooked a leg around his waist. Spark did his best to get her out of her clothes, and then ditched his.
    Their mouths came together once more as his hands roamed her body, touching and caressing her curves.
    Mina braced her hands on his shoulders and jumped, wrapping her legs around
    his waist, opening herself to him. Spark trailed his fingers through her damp curls, and satisfied that she was wet enough, he plunged into her wet heat. She gripped him tight, sucking him in deeper, as he thrust in and out of her tight channel. Mina clawed at him, her nails biting into his skin as he claimed her again, his fangs sinking into her shoulder.
    His sweet mate cried out her release, her body milking him as he came inside
    her. Their bodies were slick with sweat as he pulled away and eased Mina down his body. Pulling on his boxers, he gave her a soft, gentle kiss.
    “I believe I promised my mate a snack.”
    “I never made breakfast for us. Give me a second to throw something on and—”
    “How about I make breakfast for you? If you want to slip on a robe, you can sit at the kitchen table and keep me company. Then we’ll let our food settle and see what other mischief we can get up to today.”
    Mina smiled and kissed him. “I like that idea. Mate.”
    The words I love you sprang to his lips, but he held them back. Something told him she would be thrilled with the words, but he wanted them to mean something to her. He didn’t want her to question later if he’d said it merely because they’d had sex.

Chapter Six

    Mina woke in a cold sweat, her hair plastered to her neck and face. She reached blindly beside her, but Spark was missing. Her nightgown lay three feet away over the back of a chair. Mina snatched it up and drew it over her head, not
