He stepped back and let her body glide down the chiseled planes of his torso and abs. Hardened muscle covered with a light dusting of hair met the soft skin of her palms. Goddess, could he be any more perfect for snuggling? And fucking. Definitely fucking.
A low heat started in her center and spread like wildfire to tinge her cheeks. Holy Hades, he’d take one look at her and think she only wanted his body.
“I don’t need to see you, baby, to know you need me. But I admit, you flush a pretty shade of pink when I’m near you.”
She ducked her head. Did he just read her mind or had she said that aloud? Aidan growled a delicious rumble that worked into her and stroked her libido. Despite still being wet from their last rendezvous, hot liquid pooled between her thighs. Less than five minutes and she was ready for more.
With a hand to her shoulder, he turned her around to face the mirror hanging to the side of them. “Look.”
She froze, her breath caught in her chest. She stumbled forward for a closer look. Her once whiskey-colored eyes now mimicked Aidan’s coloring. A sapphire so bright she could only think of it as arctic blue.
“Your magic and my alpha powers are intertwined. My wolf feels your magic as your powers feel my beast.” Aidan moved up behind her, pulling her back to rest on his chest.
“You can read my mind, can’t you? Or at least feel my emotions?” Their gazes connected through the mirror.
“In a way. It’s more my wolf sensing your emotions. Knowing when you’re in trouble, when you’re angry or happy. Or…” Aidan peppered kisses along her shoulder and up the crease of her neck, “like now, in need of something more.” Through the mirror he appraised her curvaceous figure highlighted in the silver moonlight. And there was no hiding his hungry grin.
“But why did I see flashes of your past, your fears, and even happy thoughts in my mind’s eye?” She turned to face him.
Working her arms to rest around his shoulders, he tilted his head.
“Interesting. What else did you see?” His brows creased, but he wasn’t going to give anything away until she answered.
