You picked a nice soft spot. The ground under the blanket is dry and if it wasn’t, I’d be on top because this hiking thing was your idea anyway so if there’s a wet spot you get it.”
Her delivery was so matter-of-fact there was nothing else he could do but laugh. “I just thought the first time between us should be in a bed and maybe a lot more romantic.” Jace didn’t want her thinking he was going to shirk on the romance, after all.
“I’m on the pill. Shifters are blessedly STD free. You’re here with a remarkable package behind your zipper. I’m here saying use it on me, Jace. This is my ground. The magic here is good.”
To underline that, she spread her arms out wide as she smiled, breathing in deep. The magic seemed to mist around her and his wolf wanted to roll around in it.
Generations of witches had lived and worked their gifts in Diablo Lake. The land had absorbed it, been fed by it and in turn gave it back to them. Jace had understood this in his head, as he’d been raised and learned about his history and that of the town.
But he hadn’t understood the symmetry of it, the perfect symbiosis between witch and earth until right then as he looked at his gorgeous woman.
“I’ve never in all my life seen anything as beautiful as you,” he told her because the truth was easily given as a gift.
Her smile deepened. “Thank you.”
Possession seemed to fill him. Triumph that such a creature would be his.
“You can fuck me in a bed when we get back home later today,” she said and then gave him a look that had him whipping his shirt off. “That’s what I’m talking about.”
Whistling sounded a ways down the path, followed by laughter.
“Are you kidding me?” he snarled, snatching the shirt back up and getting it on before anyone came upon them. “It’s Damon and Major.” Those shitheads were the worst cockblock ever.
Katie Faith laughed. “At least they didn’t come upon us ten minutes from now.”
They stumbled around that last bend, waving and calling out greetings as they did. Jace frowned hard but they ignored him, plopping down on the blanket like pups begging for scraps.
“Why are you here?” he demanded. “I’m sure you two have a job somewhere.” It was a late summer day, with plenty of tourists still willing to pay for an experienced guide.
“We had a sunrise paddle with a tour and we just dropped them at the Mercury Falls. We figured you’d be around here somewhere.” Damon’s grin told Jace he knew exactly what he was doing.
Jace sent him a look right back that he hoped made clear just how even he was going to get with his brothers for this.
In the meantime they were eating Katie Faith’s pastries and guzzling the coffee he’d brought for her. And he was not currently having sex with her, which he would have been if those two knuckleheads hadn’t shown up.
Jace leaned down to snatch the bakery box away as his hard-on died a thousand deaths. “Those are Katie Faith’s. You don’t need to eat anything else.”
“I don’t mind sharing,” Katie Faith said.
“If you’re nice to them they’ll only stay.”
Katie Faith rolled her eyes and then smiled prettily at his brother, who’d been flattering her.
Just to poke at Jace.
Ugh.
“I think I know a few things about werewolves,” she told him as he helped her to her feet. “It’s not so bad to have them around.”
Damn.
She made him tender in ways he hadn’t known were possible.
“We were getting ready to head back anyway,” Jace told his brothers. He had a bed and a door that locked and plans to use one on her and the other on Damon and Major.
Damon showed her a patch of wild strawberries, presenting them to her with a flourish. The same ones Jace had planned to point out to her on their way back.
He mouthed, I’m going to fuck you up , to his brothers as they headed back down the trail.
