My Mate’s Shadow in My Bed
Maxim's voice was low and dangerous, like a dormant volcano.
"Maxim..." I said softly.
He immediately reined in his pressure and turned to me, his eyes instantly softening.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been violent in front of you."
He then moved to my side, naturally shielding me behind him. Just as he did, my ankle gave way. A pair of strong arms caught me, and I crashed into his solid, warm chest.
In that instant, something shifted. A thread of shimmering gold spun from the very core of my being, weaving itself into Maxim’s. A mate bond. But this was no trick, no lie. This was real. A sacred tether, forged in fire and blessed by the Goddess herself.
