the edge.

It refused to come.

Damn it.

A shiver bolted through her when she sensed Daimon return, smelled snow and spice in the cool morning air.

Release hit her like a wrecking ball, had her legs wobbling beneath her and her hand flying to cover her mouth as she cried into it.

Oh sweet gods.

She fumbled for the dresser with her other hand, clutched it and leaned into it for support as wave after wave of bliss swept through her.

Cass sagged forwards, her hand dropping from her mouth.

Unsure she would ever recover.

“You look like shit,” Cal said.

Cass tensed and turned, her heart shooting into her mouth as panic gripped her and her cheeks burned, the thought she had just been caught pleasuring herself wreaking havoc on her and causing a whirlwind of lame excuses to fill her mind.

Only the sliding white door of the room was closed. He wasn’t talking to her.

She crept to the panels that formed the wall of the room near the covered walkway, eased the one that acted as a door back a little and peered out through the gap.

Daimon stood on the wooden walkway of the wing opposite her, bathed in early morning light. She shivered, achy again as she studied him. She cursed him. What was it about him that had her on fire with just a glance at him?

Cal approached him from her right, the direction of the main room of the house. Daimon shrugged, rolling toned shoulders beneath his tight long-sleeve turtleneck sweater. She wanted to peel that off him. She shook that rogue thought away.

“Tired,” he muttered and stifled a yawn.

“Still can’t sleep?” Concern filled Cal’s blue eyes.

Daimon was having trouble sleeping? She could help him with that if he let her, and she wasn’t even talking about wearing him out with sex.

Although, that was far more appealing than using a spell on him.

Daimon shook his head and ran a hand down his mouth. “I need to unwind or something.”

Cass could help him with that too.

He had certainly helped her unwind just now.

She couldn’t imagine how he would react if she told him he had starred in a wicked fantasy that had given her one hell of a memorable release.

Her cheeks heated again.

She huffed, irritated by the reaction. She was a grown woman and there was absolutely zero reason for her to feel ashamed of what she had done.

“Where is everyone?” His icy blue eyes scanned the garden and she ducked back behind the panel as they neared her, not wanting him to see her.

She swore his gaze lingered in her direction, that she could feel him staring straight through the panels of the room at her.

She looked down at herself.

Just how good was their sense of smell?

Her face heated again.

Could he smell her, what she had done?

The thought he might be aware of it had a hot achy shiver rolling through her and her nipples beaded, her breasts yearning for his touch. She huffed and ignored her rebellious body, trying to regain control of herself. She was damned if she was going to let Daimon see how flustered he had gotten her.

“Ares took Megan back to get some rest. Keras just left. Marek took Caterina to see her brother.” Cal hesitated. “Aiko is… she went out with some friends for the day. I think she needed the pick me up today. Valen and Eva are keeping an eye on her from a distance.”

“I thought the place seemed quiet.”

“Me and Mari just got done with the bath,” Cal said and Cass peered at them again, tempted to scowl at him.

She reminded herself that Mari was a grown woman. It was still hard to accept that at times. Mari would always be the little girl she adored, had watched growing up and had been sad when she had been forced to keep her distance so she wouldn’t notice that Cass didn’t age.

Although, Mari had had a wonderful idea.

A bath did sound good.

“You should have one. Might help you relax and sleep.” Cal shrugged, his shoulders hiking beneath his black T-shirt. “Just an idea.”

“It’s a good one. Long baths are always nice.” Daimon smiled at his younger brother.

A genuine one.

He was right. Long baths were always nice.

But long baths with another were even better.

She huffed as she looked back at her clothes and hit a snag.

She didn’t have a bathing suit with her.

Cass shrugged that off. Cal would be occupied with Mari for some time, and Aiko was out of the house for the morning at the
