“So, we can sleep together, and I am fairly sure that sex can be accomplished, so I have declared you mine, and you are now the registered shaman of the Daring Claw Clan.So, once you are marked, you have access to our six hundred acres, the plants, the trees, and the citizens.This won’t happen again.”

A small stream of energy hit her, and it got wider in a hurry.“Whoa.”

He turned her and smiled.“They just put the glyph in for the Daring Claw.”

“It’s on my back?”

He smiled.“The goblins and trolls will be next.”

Never stared up at him, and more power bloomed in her.“Damn, Emily is fast.”

He smiled.“The goblins are linked; I can actually see the troll mark coming through.”

She nodded and felt a cool rush beginning.“How did you get in here?”

“One, I am a speaker, and two, our marks were the first ones in place.I couldn’t get here until she put it in place.”He leaned forward and pointed to a small tree in a radiant sun in the hollow of his throat.

She touched her own throat and felt slightly raised skin that pulsed at the contact.She conjured a mirror and looked at the mark.“I am the tree?”

“And I am the sun.”Tam-or grinned.“You can pick our bonding bands on our biceps later.They are scars.”

“Hmm.You are really optimistic.”

“I have quiet confidence that you and I are going to be together for life.”

“Why is that?”

“You negotiated to have me hold you.So, you want me.”He smiled and stroked her back.

“Well, yes.But now that I have you, I am unsure what to do with you.”She bit her lip.

He paused.“What?You aren’t shy.”

“Well, I have been in a lot of locker rooms.”Her voice ended a little high.“I dated in college, but since Cora locked into her focus on getting pregnant, I just hung back.”

“So, for over three decades, you haven’t had sex?”

She looked at him and cocked her head.He was in shock.Finally, she sighed.“Yes, for three decades, I haven’t had sex.”

He opened his mouth and then closed it with a snap.He smiled slowly.“Well, you have my dry spell beat.”

She stared at him and then giggled.“Yeah.I suppose I do.”

“How is that possible?”

“Well, Cora took on the more obvious aspects of heat.I went through the motions, but she was the broadcaster.”

“I see.So, what will happen now?”

“Well, you have been close to me.What kind of signals am I starting to put out?”

He leaned in and inhaled.“You just smell like leaves and sunshine here.”

“Good.Whoops.There is the troll mark.It feels like cool rock in my system.”

He grinned.“Two more and you should be back to yourself.”

“What are they?”
