time though,
this has all been a lot to take in,” Liam said, as he looked away. He didn’t
want her to be swayed into accepting him as her mate because she saw the hope,
and the possible hurt, in his eyes.
“Liam,” she said in a whisper. He kept his head turned away.
“Liam,” she said with her voice more firm, and reached out to turn his head
towards hers. When their eyes made contact she brushed a stray lock of hair
away from his forehead and then stroked her hand down the side of his face. She
leaned forward and when her mouth was just a breath away from his, she
whispered, “I don’t need more time. I know you are my mate for life. I feel it.
There has been no stronger pull for me toward anyone, than what I have toward
you.”
Before he could say anything, she kissed him. Not a quick
brush of the lips either. She melded her lips to his. When his lips parted,
hers did as well. Her tongue met every thrust of his, in a passionate dance
that rocked him to his core. Without breaking the kiss he pulled her to him. When
her chest was crushed against his, he reached up with one hand and twined it
through her hair, holding her head in place, as he deepened their kiss. Her
hands found their way up his chest and around his neck.
They broke apart when they heard someone clear their throat
from the doorway of the living room.
“I’m sorry if I’m interrupting something here,” Liam’s
brother smirked at them, as he leaned against the doorjamb, with his arms
crossed across his broad muscled chest.

As Cora tried to turn away, Liam wrapped his arm around her
shoulders and forced her to face his brother. He held her tight and stroked her
shoulder. She needed to get comfortable around his family, and his brother was
an excellent start.
“Hey Sage,” Liam said, calm and sure of himself.
“Hey little brother. Looks like you were having a bit of fun
there. Where are mom, dad and Sassy?” Sage said, looking around with a knowing
smirk.
“They’re not here. I’d like you to meet Cora. Cora this is
my older brother Sage.” Liam made the introductions as if Sage had not just
walked in on a major make out session between them.
“Nice to meet you, Cora,” Sage said, and dipped his head
toward her as he moved into the room. “Since when do you bring girls to the
cabin Liam? I thought that was my thing.”
“There was an emergency last night and I needed somewhere
safe I could bring Cora. This was the place that came to mind.” Liam shrugged,
as he turned back to his breakfast. Cora just sat and picked at her food,
anxiety washing through her in waves.
“What kind of emergency?” Sage asked intrigued.
“My twin was kidnapped last night and I almost was too,”
Cora said looking up at Sage.
Sage’s mouth dropped as his eyes flew back and forth between
Cora and Liam. “Can I talk to you a minute alone Liam?” he asked in a soft,
determined voice.
Liam looked at Cora for a long moment. “Will you be ok here
while Sage and I go into the other room for a minute?”
The concern she heard in his voice warmed her heart and she
nodded. Her heart fluttered when he pressed a gentle kiss to her mouth, as he
stood and followed his brother into the living area. She turned back to her
food and found her appetite again when she wasn’t being stared down by Sage, or
making out with Liam, creating butterflies in her stomach. When she was done
eating, she put together a plate of food for Sage and began cleaning up the
mess. She was afraid of what they were saying in the other room, so she busied
herself to try to take her mind off of their conversation.

Liam stood where he could watch Cora moving around the
kitchen, as his brother started in on him. He noticed her nervousness and it
made him crinkle his brow in anger.
“What are you thinking?” Sage growled at him. “She’s one of
Thomas and Angelica’s daughters isn’t she?”
“So what if she is?” Liam responded, squaring
