Erin gasped. “Oh God. You look so beautiful.”
Tess turned around, a shy and nervous smile tugging at her lips. “Do you think he’ll like it?”
“He won’t be able to take his eyes, much less his hands, off you.” Erin held up the bottle in her hand and two glasses in her other. “Brought some bubbly.”
“You’re the best.”
While opening the bottle, Erin glanced at her sister who had sat down on the bed. “Nervous?”
“Yes. But a good kind of nervous.”
“Good.” She handed Tess a glass and sat own as well. “I can’t believe my baby sister is going to bond with a wolf. You’re basically marrying him, right?”
“Witch style, yeah.” Tess downed her glass. “What about you and Seth? Still want me to drag you off to a hospital if you start talking about bonding?”
Erin frowned as she sipped her champagne. “I don’t know.”
“Wow. We really have changed. We are witches, our lovers are wolves.” Tess stared at her. “And now, I’m suddenly the one who likes it rough while you go for the soft and easy.”
“Hey, I still like it rough. I just don’t run away screaming at the thought of making love.”
Tess smiled and took her hand in hers. “Are you happy, Erin?”
It was the same question Erin had asked her sister after she had come here. “Yes, I am.”
“Good.”
The sun was about to set, painting the sky with a last breath, when the sisters made their way through the forest. When they reached the edge of the trees that lined the clearing around the lake Erin and Tess took off their coats and laid them on a stone nearby. Erin summoned the magic and love in her, imagining the ceremony altar in front of her, and ignited the torches and fire baskets with her thoughts. The flames’ heat warmed the air around them, like a bubble, protecting them against the cold of the falling night.
Guided only by the music of the forest and the night the sisters stepped out into the clearing. Tess gasped at the sight in front of her. Erin and Joanne had successfully kept her in the dark about the preparations here. “Oh my God. It’s beautiful.” Her teary gaze, full of love, flicked to Erin. “You did this.”
“With Joanne’s help.”
“Shit. And now you make me cry and swear before the ceremony has even begun.”
“Stop it, you’ll make me cry as well.”
Tess took a deep breath and then nodded.
Nathan was waiting, near the lakeshore, with Seth and his mother by his side, all of them dressed in black and silver. The two of them only had eyes for each other and were grinning like fools.
When they reached him, Erin hugged her sister and stepped aside before winking at Seth. God, he should be forbidden to wear a suit.
As the new moon was about to set as well, Joanne started the ceremony. Summoning old magic she joined the two mates who were about to start a new life, as was the moon. Words of love, oaths and kisses were exchanged while their hands were bound in silver and tears sprang to Erin’s eyes. Love and magic were heavy in the air and in her heart. But then the air changed for the last part of the ceremony. Erotically charged, for the end wasn’t marked with a kiss but a bite.
Nathan’s eyes glowed gold as he leaned in and nuzzled her sister’s neck, before he groaned and marked the soft flesh there. Erin’s gaze locked with Seth’s and heat shot through her body.

They left the couple to enjoy their new mated status as soon as the ceremony was completed and hurried home. The moment the door to Seth’s cabin closed behind them, Seth and Erin were all over each other.
They stumbled towards the couch, shedding their clothes on the floor, and she took him into her hands the moment his cock sprang free. He groaned as she stroked the velvety length of him. Her heart thumping in her chest, her blood rushing in her ears she slowly went to her knees in front of him.
Guessing her intent Seth shook his head, grabbing for her shoulders. “Erin. You don’t need to do that. I don’t want you to pressure yourself. We’ve got all the time in the world, love.”
She smiled at his words, the honesty in them. “I want to try. Just a bit.” And that was true. He gave her so much pleasure, she wanted to give something in return although she knew she wouldn’t be able to overcome her trauma overnight. With a reassuring and yet sexy smile at Seth she started to nibble the length of him. When the voices of the past stayed silent she kissed and licked. Her tongue tasting him. His thighs tensed and as she looked up golden eyes, dark with heat, met hers. She moaned as wetness pooled between her legs. Encouraged by the sight of him and all traces of nervousness gone, she closed her mouth just over the tip of him and sucked. “Fuck.” He groaned, burying a hand in her short hair. Pride and pleasure flooded her. Letting go of him he pulled her up and hugged her close, his breathing hard in her ears.
“I need to be inside you.” Then Seth turned her into his arms, letting his hands roam. He cupped her breasts, pinching her nipples hard and making her tremble. When his fingers trailed south to slide between her thighs she moved her head to lick his neck. Her body was on fire.
“You’re so wet.” Another groan and he lifted her up onto the couch with her knees slightly spread, her hands braced on the back of it. She felt him behind her, his hands on her hips and then he thrust home. Erin gasped at the utter bliss and rocked back against him, urging him to move. Obliging her, he started to pound into her. His hands moved over her back, around her ribcage to her breasts. Erin shivered with the intense pleasure as he surrounded her and as her body throbbed for him.
Suddenly Seth stopped, buried deep inside of her. She squirmed, her body begging him to move, to give her the release they were so eagerly chasing together. He tortured her with slow strokes as he leaned in to lick her ear and a soft trail down to her neck. Her head fell to the side and he bit her. Like lightning her climax slammed into her, as did he as he lost all rhythm and control and pounded into her before thrusting deep, moaning with his own release.
Later that night Erin lay in bed entangled with Seth, a soft smile playing at her lips as she listened to his heartbeat. After a little nap and grabbing something to eat they had finally managed to make their way upstairs.
“Seth?”
“Hmm?”
She sat up to lean over his chest, her serious mismatched eyes never leaving his. “I like to be in control, you know that, but there are some traditions even I like to see respected.” His eyebrows rose, intrigued. “So I want you to know that even though I’m all for gender equality, you’ll have be the one to have to ask me to mate with you. But just so you know, I will say yes. Since no man has ever made me feel this way. Has ever made me feel.”
He cupped her face in his hands, drowning her in the silver of his smiling gaze. “Don’t worry, love. I intend to ask you,” something wicked sparked there, “and I know that you’ll say yes.”
She snorted at his arrogance, but he went on, his eyes softening with love again as he tapped her temple gently. “But I know that there’s already a lot going on here. So much has changed already. So I’ll wait. I can be patient.”
“I love you.”
“I love you, too.”
