“She was there and yes, I met her. After she dropped from the ceiling.”

Davide’s eyes widened. “She did what?”

Cam gave him a quick synopsis of their meeting, including her shorts, the spider and her sarcasm. By the time he was done, Davide was nearly crying with laughter.

“Wonder Woman? I love it.” He sobered, tilting his head as though merely curious. “She’s the one who made you run, isn’t she? The one you wanted? I had a crush from her emails, but she must be stunning if your reaction is anything to go by.”

“She’s cute.” Cam wasn’t ready for this conversation. Not yet. And not when Davide was standing in front of him looking like everything he needed. “But you’re the one I want.”

It wasn’t a lie. He ran his hand down his own naked body and gripped his unflagging erection. “I haven’t been inside you since Washington, and this place if having an effect on me.”

“Washington was this morning. And are you sure it’s this place and not your Wonder Woman?” Davide’s brown eyes took on an amber hue as he toyed with the edges of his towel. “You think a few sweet words and a show will get you off the hook for ditching me? It’s my job to watch your ass as you fly around the world playing live-action Monopoly.”

“No, it isn’t.”

“Security was the job you offered me when we first met. Because I’ve got good instincts, you said. Because I’m clever. Because I’m faster, I can sneak around better than anyone under this roof and I’ve always got your back.”

All of that was true. “At the time, there were more than a few idiots pissed at me for not allowing them to sell out their pack for a big payday. And I would have used any excuse to get you to come home with me.”

“It worked.” Davide stalked him. “You took me to bed, put me in charge of herding the others and gave me all your passwords, but you never technically fired me from that first assignment. As far as I’m concerned, I’m still responsible for your big, sexy ass. And I can’t protect it if you disappear on me or keep secrets.”

“You’re right.”

The young lynx shifter had been left behind in the Italian Alps. Without pack, like the others on his team. Like Cameron himself. Even hungry and alone, Davide had been too bold for his own good. He’d followed them for days, nicking food and pieces of clothing before saving Cam from an ambush.

He’d been at his side ever since. He owned Cam’s heart and made him burn. But though his wolf loved Davide and was loyal to him, there’d been no compulsion to mate. That’s what made Cam sure the idea was a myth.

Having a spiritual link to force fidelity sounded wrong to him anyway. Love might not be a choice, but commitment was. He’d learned that from the men in his family, who had all been unfaithful or simply abandoned the ones they’d sworn to protect. He’d learned it from watching other shifters marry, have children and happily spend their lives with someone who wasn’t bonded to them with a mate mark.

He’d never met a mated shifter. Someone who’d tied his life force to another and was linked in mind, body and spirit for the rest of their days. Faithful only to them. He’d never expected to.

Bailey. Bailey. Bailey.

“Cam?” Davide’s playful grin had disappeared and he’d moved closer in concern. “You were telling me how right I was, then you disappeared. Where did you go?”

“Never anywhere without you.” He couldn’t lose him.

A surge of desperation made him reach for Davide and yank the towel off his lean hips. “I need you,” he rasped, groaning at the feel of their bodies pressed together. “Now.”

“Then take me,” Davide dared, his face flushed with surprised pleasure.

This morning’s lovemaking had been warm and intimate, but tonight it felt like a gathering storm from their first kiss. Urgent. Unstoppable.

Davide sucked on his tongue and wrapped his fist around both their cocks. “We didn’t get our run, but you won’t skip this tradition, will you? Christening our new home.”

“Never,” Cam gasped when his grip tightened.

“We could have been doing this hours ago.”

Cam licked his fingers and pressed them between the firm cheeks of Davide’s ass, rubbing until his lover shivered. “I’ll make it up to you.”

“Right here? On my knees?”

“Not this time. I want your eyes on me. Heels digging into my back while I fuck you. Get on the couch.” Cam gripped his hips and walked the wide-eyed Davide backward toward the leather sofa.

“She really got to you, didn’t she?” he asked, breathless. “I wonder what the girl-kissing, attic-dangling spitfire would think if she could see us now?”

“Davide,” he warned, teeth sharply grazing his lips as he tossed him roughly on his back. The thought of her watching them… “Don’t mention her. Not now. I’m already on edge.”
