was going through some things, Kade could always trust Adam. Then they had to make sure they were safe when they got here, so Hannah had made a few herb bags that could act as mobile wards. They weren’t as efficient as sentries or the actual den wards, but it would keep them cloaked to most seeing eyes and would alert them to intruders faster than his keen senses.
However, even though all of that had taken time, it didn’t compare to leaving Finn alone. He and Mel had almost called it off before they even started. Finn screamed for them, and Maddox, the man who rarely revealed any hints of emotion, looked overwhelmed. But his brother had shaken his head and told them to leave, that he and his nephew needed some time alone to get to know one another.
And frankly, Mel and Kade needed to make sure their lives weren’t controlled by their son. Yes, Finn was the center of their world, but he couldn’t have every aspect of it and get everything he wanted. It didn’t work that way.
They’d kissed their son and walked out the door stiffly. Finn’s cries came through the door, but they got in the car anyway. He and Mel held hands on the drive but stayed silent. They hadn’t talked like he had wanted, but the silence was something they hadn’t had in months. It was soothing and mind-clearing. Needed.
Kade leaned down and kissed the top of his mate’s head. She rolled her neck, and he trailed kisses down her skin, her honey-vanilla taste settling on his tongue. He nibbled her neck and ran his hand up her stomach under her shirt and cupped her breast. She arched against him and moaned.
“Kade.”
“I’ve wanted this for months.”
“Just be careful, I’ll leak.”
Kade let the heavy mounds lay firm in his hold, and he squeezed just a little, not hard enough to let the milk come out.
“I’ll be careful, but it may get messy.”
Mel pressed her breast into his palm, her nipple pebbling through her bra. “Anything, Kade. Anything you want.”
Kade leaned back and released her with a groan. She whimpered and he fought the urge to bend her over the SUV and take her right there.
“I want to spend the whole night with you, and I plan on it. But let’s at least unload the SUV first so we don’t have to get out of bed unless we want to.” He bit her earlobe, and she shivered.
She turned in his arms, bit his chin, and hurried to the car to get her bag. Kade chuckled and watched her ass move in her tight jeans. She should have worn a skirt. He wanted to flip it over and fuck her senseless. But he’d settle with peeling her out of those skinny jeans and licking trails to her pussy. His body shook, and he grabbed his bag. Yeah, that sounded fucking delicious.
He followed his mate as she ran to the beach cottage and unlocked the door; as soon as she set her bag down, he dropped the ice chest and gripped her hips.
“Kade!”
“Shh.” He walked her backwards until she stood on the porch looking over the ocean with him.
The cool Oregon breeze wove through their hair as the salty ocean scent surrounded them. He turned her so she faced him, and he stood there transfixed.
This was his mate.
His Melanie.
God, how he’d missed her.
She gave a small smile and exhaled slowly. “It’s beautiful here, Kade. Thank you.”
“Not as beautiful as you.”
“That is such a line, but I love you anyway.”
Kade raised a brow. “Really?”
She nodded. “Uh huh. Let me show you how much.” She gripped his hips and slowly lowered to her knees.
Shocked, he looked down. “Mel, baby, you don’t need to do that. This is supposed to be about you.”
“No, this is supposed to be about us. We’re secluded, no one around for miles, and with the wards set on the house, no one can see. Let me taste you, Kade.”
He groaned and stroked her cheek. “Far be it from me to hold you back.”
She smiled and unsnapped his cargo shorts. He sucked in a breath and brushed a hand through her hair.
Mel nuzzled his dick through
