from now on. He won’t get anywhere near you. That’s a promise. In the meantime, you can stay here. This is your home now. Or we can visit Tennessee. The mountains are splendid no matter the time of year.”

“I need to call someone about my job. Normally, he would be the one I’d contact, but under the circumstances…”

“You could call the school board. Explain how he’s been harassing you. Even if he isn’t responsible for the attack, they need to know what kind of man they have as their principal.”

“That’s a good idea. I’ll do that first thing in the morning.”

“Good. Now, I’m going to fix something to eat.”

Stella stood on her toes and kissed his cheek. “I’m going to find my phone and call Mom. She’s probably going nuts by now.”

Zeke kept his eyes and ears open for both his mate and brother as well as his senses on the area surrounding the house. If Bradley was responsible for the attack, it wouldn’t surprise Zeke if the human had followed them to New Oceanside. He threw together a quick stir fry, and he and Stella ate at the dining room table while Cyrus retreated to his room to lie down. As they were eating, Zeke told Stella about Cyrus meeting Thomas. Then he told her what would happen if Cyrus did transition. She had lots of questions, and her concern for his brother was touching.

After they polished off the stir fry, Zeke showed Stella around the house. It wasn’t as large as some of his family’s homes, but it was theirs, and there was room enough to start a family.

When they were back in the living room, Zeke pulled Stella down onto his lap. He lifted her left hand and played with the promise ring, which was as unique as his mate with the onyx stones surrounding the princess-cut diamond. “Do you want children?”

“Do you?” Stella asked.

“I wouldn’t mind a little girl with dark hair and eyes.” Zeke wanted a houseful, but he wasn’t going to scare her with the truth. “But only if it’s what you want, and not anytime soon. I want to spend a few years getting to know each other. Our mating happened rather quickly, as is the case with some fated mates.”

“And I’d love a son with your blond hair and blue eyes. I’ve never given much thought to having kids because I honestly never thought I’d find a man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. But I agree we should wait. I just found you, and I selfishly want you all to myself.” Stella moved out of Zeke’s hold to straddle his lap. She twisted her fingers through his hair. “I want to learn all about you.” Stella nuzzled Zeke’s neck before nipping below his ear. His mate leaned back, then gripped the hem of his shirt. Zeke reached behind his head and pulled the garment off, tossing it on the floor.

Stella pushed off his lap and got on her knees between Zeke’s thighs. She ran her fingers down his chest and through each dip in his abs. “Your stomach is crazy sexy.” Stella’s hair fell around her face as she pressed open kisses to his muscles. Zeke gathered the long strands in a fist so he could watch. His dick was hard as stone, but he let his female set the pace. When she reached out to unfasten his jeans, Zeke opened his senses to his brother to make sure Cyrus wasn’t going to interrupt them. He wanted Stella’s mouth on him, but he didn’t want her to be embarrassed if they were caught.

His mate on her knees was a sight to behold. Stella lowered the zipper and released his dick from its confines. She captured the drop of moisture from the tip and brought it to her mouth while watching him. Zeke’s chest rumbled, and her eyes widened. Zeke winked, letting her know she was good to continue. Stella grinned, then lowered her head, licking a stripe from base to tip. When she closed her lips around him and sucked, Zeke hissed. Her mouth around his erection was the second-best feeling in the world.

“Gods, that feels good,” he muttered. It was better than good. If he died in that moment, he would go out a happy male. Stella used her mouth, tongue, and fist, setting up a steady tempo that had Zeke ready to blow within minutes. “I’m close,” he warned. Instead of pulling off, Stella stroked
