Chapter 53

• A white blur leaped over the hedge, landing directly in front of me. My beautiful, powerful mate with the same green captivating eyes. He shifted, and a second later, I was in his arms. He spun me swiftly, my back pressed against his solid chest. His warm breath teased my neck before he suddenly clamped down on my earlobe. A surprised yip escaped my lips, but he didn’t release his grip. Instead, he stood behind me, gently biting and tugging on the sensitive skin of my earlobe. The sensation sent shivers down my spine, and I couldn’t help but lean into him, feeling the warmth of his body against mine. It was unexpected yet exhilarating, and I found myself lost in the moment as he continued to nibble on my earlobe with gentle intensity.
• “Dare—” I started to say but he growled against my ear. Nibbling on the skin but never releasing his grip.
• Let me calm down. His voice entered my mind. Thinking about it like this was a bit funny. He was like a wild beast, gnawing on me to soothe his turbulent emotions. A low growl came from his throat and I wondered about the face he was making. I could see that Ivan was on the defense while Finn had a playful smirk on his face.
