Always my loyal wolf.

Always my gentle Virtue.

I lifted onto my toes and kissed him, no longer needing words between us.

It was time to show him what he still meant to me.

Chapter 12

We indulged in each other, lazily stroking each other’s skin even while we still had clothes on. I knew if we were naked, we’d devour each other.

And right now I just wanted tofeel.

Normally I burned hot and fast, but Logan influenced me through our bond. His wolf enjoyed this slow torment, a build up of promises that would end in deep satisfaction.

We fell asleep like that, lounging in each other’s arms until Logan eventually woke me with a kiss.

I curled into him, moaning as his scent enveloped me.

Oh, I’d missed him.

Missed this.

“Sorry to wake you,” he murmured, pulling me up so that he could properly wrap his arms around me.

“No apologies needed,” I said, sighing when his touch ignited new fire in me.

He skimmed his fingers down my sides, his knuckles brushing against the soft down of my wings. I shivered.

Logan grinned. “Are they sensitive?” he asked, his breath hot on my lips.

“Very.”

His lips twitched into a smile as he curled his fingers into the soft feathers, eliciting a moan from my lips.

Heat swept through my body, the small friction between his body and mine making my nipples harden. An ache low in my core spread out as my need threatened to consume me.

Logan’s responding desire hit my nose, a sweet woodsy scent that mixed with the fresh waterfall saturation of his den. I’d never scented desire before, but I recognized it, perhaps another new trait come to light because of my reincarnation, or my bond with the uni-hare.

Who knew.

My succubus side delighted in it, yet another magical link to sensation to devour. I clamped down on that part of myself, determined I would never dream of hurting my Virtue. I could only let go with that side of myself with Hendrik, or perhaps even Kaito, indulging in a darkness that had no place with my sweet shifter.

All my Virtues filled a void in my soul.

When it came to Logan, I experienced true and unbreakable loyalty.

Logan hummed against my neck, the vibration making my toes curl. “I can smell your arousal,” he informed me.

I gasped when he bit my ear, sending a shock through my body before he licked at the small hurt.

Okay, I was awake now.

Fisting my fingers through his hair, I turned him and claimed his mouth, needing his bite on my lips.

He obeyed me, nipping at me before stroking his tongue over mine. A growl rumbled from his chest, then he pushed me onto the bed. “On your knees,” he ordered as he slipped off the bed, that authority as an Alpha returning to his voice. “Now.”

I grinned, because yeah, that was an order I was ready to obey.
