at Camp Silverwood. Her talents had become glaringly obvious as soon as she got home, her speed increasing exponentially until she was no longer allowed to participate in school sports. They couldn’t figure out how she was doing it, so they disapproved of her ability to participate. It sucked.
    “All right, I will concede that I have not felt ill, injured myself, and that I have a peculiar energy that has been growing in intensity lately. But living that long? Come on.”
    Axom took her hand. “Well, since part of our tradition is to not outlive our mates, I hope for all our sakes that you live a long healthy life.”
    “You are joking.”
    “I am not. If you die before me, I will follow you within days. It is simply the way we are. It is why the males who are entering your world have a true commitment to the expansion of magic. They know that they will not outlive their mates to try again.”
    Even Westa looked shocked at that. Apparently Henry hadn’t told her that one either.
    “Okay. On that note, Axom and I are going to call it an evening. It looks like you need to beat your fiancé. Night , Westa! Henry!” Caro grabbed Axom by the hand and had him out the door by the time she was finished talking.
    Outside she still wasn’t sure what she would say to Axom. Sure he was fun, sexy, caring and made her heart beat faster when he walked into a room, but to bind her lifeline to his permanently? It was something to think about.
    He would not let her mull it over in silence , however. “It is our choice, you know. We know that our long lives can end when we marry a human. We do it for love. Love of our race, love of magic and love for our mates. That one most of all.”
    “But you hadn’t even met me when you were sent to me.”
    “I knew that they would not send me to a woman I could not love, and the instant I saw you I knew that you were the right woman for me.” He took her hand and brought it to his lips, then released it.
    “And my choice? Where was that?”
    “You have had years to date, to make up your mind. Many women your age are married with children. The magic within you was calling to something else. Something like me.” A smile spread across his face as she took his hand in hers.
    “You are right. It would only answer to someone who could run with me. Could fight with me and could survive sex with me. I broke two of my boyfriends and then gave up on the species.”
    “Broke them?”
    “One arm and one penis.”
    “Oh my.” His laughter was contained, but only for a moment before it broke free to run through the streets of Silverwood.
     

 
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter Ten
     
     
    The welcome warmth of his home wrapped around them the instant that they arrived. It was nice, but she wanted something that wasn’t warm, but hot. “Axom, are you up for another round of getting to know you better ?” She was suiting her actions to match her words and stripping as she spoke. She was down to her serviceable underwear when arms wrapped around her from behind.
    “Of course I am. But I was thinking that perhaps you needed some time to get a grip on every thing you learned this evening.”
    Her hands moved behind her, between their bodies, “I think I have a pretty good grip right here.”
    He turned her in his arms after carefully disengaging her hands. “Are you sure?”
    “Axom, I am action, I am impulse. I am definitely sure. I was sure when I said I would come with you to Silverwood, and I am sure now.”
    She had her head tilted back to meet his serious gaze, but it was no use. She saw his mouth and wanted it on her. She decided to make an effort. She slid her hands up his chest and wrapped them around his neck to bring his head to hers. The kiss seemed to get his mind off her delicate emotional state, especially when she reached down to stroke his cock through his trousers. “Do I seem upset to you?”
    “Um, no.”
    He trailed his lips down her throat to the delicate area on the side
