.Her eyes widened again, and she froze.“I will tell you everything.I will, my sprite.”He watched her throat work as she swallowed, felt the pulse at her neck flutter and the heat of her skin against his fingers as she flushed.Gods, he wanted this woman for his own.He kept his eyes on hers but thought of Jace.Yes, he wanted this woman for them both.“Why do you keep calling me your sprite?”His thumb traced her cheekbone, the soft skin smooth and inviting.His dragon practically rumbled at this closeness—the kind he’d been avoiding for as long as he’d known her because, once he touched her, he wouldn’t want to let her go.There was only so much control a dragon could possess.“That’s what you are,” he whispered.“Mine.” She narrowed her eyes before pulling away.He let her, knowing that, with his strength, he could have held her forever, but that was another matter altogether.“No, no.I’m not.I’m not yours, and I haven’t been anywhere near that label.Ever.” She ran a hand through her hair then took a gulp of her lemon drop.Her face scrunched as she swallowed the sour and sweet, but he didn’t go to her, just stayed away as he had all this time.“Why don’t we just sit down and talk this over?” Jace said as he stood between the two, worry lining his face.“Why don’t we just talk about what Dante wanted to talk about, huh? And why I should be in here with the two of you when I don’t even know you, and when Dante hasn’t even given me any indication he’s ever wanted to be alone with me.No, he’s always been part of the crew but with a clear line drawn.”She faced him then, the pain on her face lancing through him like a hot blade.“I don’t even know what’s going on right now.”“Then sit down and let me get it out,” he said, wincing at his lack of tact.He’d had thousands of years to learn how to speak to women, and apparently he’d thrown it all out the window with the one woman and man who mattered.“Good one,” Jace mumbled then turned to Nadie, effectively cutting Dante off.He needed to breathe, to understand what the hell was going on with him.Gods, he’d been walking on eggshells and killing himself over what was happening for far too long, yet he had no idea how to use a little finesse to say what needed to be said, needed to be done.This wasn’t like him, and he didn’t want to become whoever this man was.“I’m Jace Goodwin, Nadie.”Her eyes sharpened, and she snapped her fingers.“I know that name.You’re the man who helped Hunter and Becca.”Dante let out a sigh.Yes, this would be a good place to start.Get her to know who Jace was then slide into the fact that she was the key to their future and happiness.Yes, no pressure at all.He ran a hand over his face then clicked his tongue ring against his teeth.He had to calm down.It wasn’t every day he had a chance to reveal she was not only mate to one but two people.Jace sat down at the table next to Nadie, and Dante pulled a chair so they sat in a triangle, able to see each other fully.“Yes, I’m the one who helped Hunter and Becca with their Pack.Though, in reality, they did most of the work themselves.I was just there in case they needed me.”“That’s not exactly how Becca put it.” Nadie shook her head.“She said you were a mediator or something?”Jace grinned, and Dante relaxed.The bear’s smile always soothed the beast within, and Dante knew, at least in their case, it had more to do with who the man was than his position as a Mediator of the realms.“I’m a Mediator.Capital M if you care about those sorts of things.My role is to go to warring, or about-to-war, Packs, dens, and other realms, and try to find a way to peace.If that doesn’t happen, then it’s my job to take out those who break their oaths or find new treaties and other ways of keeping the realms safe.”Nadie tilted her head, her gaze never leaving Jace.Dante could tell she felt the pull toward the other man, the same pull he himself felt for Jace and Nadie, the type of pull he knew she felt for him.“Becca said you’re a…bear, right?”Jace grinned even harder, and Dante had to grin, too.Jace was always in a good mood and tried to make others feel the same unless something or someone he loved was threatened, then Jace was the bear inside him in all ways that mattered.You didn’t fuck with Jace Goodwin.“Yes, a grizzly as a matter of fact.Not as big as the dragon over there, but one of the larger paranormals.”Nadie’s gaze shifted between the two of them, and she frowned.“It’s good to meet you, but I’m still confused as to why Dante wanted me to meet you and talk with both of you.”Dante swallowed hard.“I think you know, Nadie.At least some of it.”She shook her head.“No, you need to say it because whatever is going on in my head makes no sense and is so far out of the realm of what has ever happened to me that I’m not even going to say it.”Dante had a feeling whatever she was thinking was perfectly on the right track, or at least he hoped so, but he let her keep those thoughts to herself.For now.“When the lightning hit,” he began and hoped he was going in the best direction, “you and the others started your transformations.”Nadie nodded as her eyes slid to Jace.“He knows about what happened, Nadie.There aren’t many secrets between me and Jace.”Her eyes widened, and she let out an “oh.”Jace’s gaze met his, and Dante let out a breath.“I’m getting ahead of myself here.”“And yet you’re not getting anywhere,” Nadie mumbled, and Dante choked off a laugh.He loved it when Nadie spoke her mind and actually used the attitude she was born with rather than the quiet one she tried to pull off.It hadn’t helped that he’d had to put distance between them after the lightning struck.It had taken all of his control not to claim her as his right then.If he had, though, it would have been for naught.If he had, he’d have left Jace behind, not completing the mating in truth and only hurting the three of them more.Only Nadie hadn’t known that.“No, I guess I’m not.Well, shit, okay.So when the lightning hit, you were able to start to feel what it was like to be a paranormal.”She shook her head.“No, I haven’t.I still have no idea what I would turn into if I.uh”—she blushed—“completed the mating with my true half.”He nodded, knowing this was where it got tricky.“You’ve been feeling a pull though.Right? And even a little weak.” The last part was a partial lie.He knew she’d been feeling a hell of a lot more than weak when it came to their proximity to one another.He’d stayed away from her for a reason, and yet no matter what he’d done, it hadn’t been enough.She narrowed her eyes, and the dragon within him rumbled, ready to take the brunt of what would come next.“You’re my true half, my mate, Nadie.”Her face didn’t change.She didn’t even bat an eyelash.He watched the rise and fall of her chest but didn’t breathe with her [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
