over a nearby wide stump. “Whenyou are ready, have a seat.”

He chuckled and shifted insideher. “What constitutes ready?”

“Good start. Change the condomand have a seat. I will be with you as soon as I am completelynaked.”

She sighed as he withdrew, buther laces came apart, and she peeled everything off from the waistdown before she let her sports bra slide off while she pried hertank off over her head. She unclipped her ponytail and walked up towhere he was waiting. His eyes gleamed, and she stroked hiserection through the condom. She braced one hand on his shoulderand eased herself over him. When he was inside her, her breathingwas fast, and she licked her lips slowly before she met his gaze.His eyes were hot.

He leaned forward, she leanedback, and he licked at her neck and jaw before burrowing his mouthagainst her breasts. He supported her and pushed up with his hips.She bucked onto him, using her kneeling position for leverage. Shegripped his arms for balance, and they moved together, gasping andgrunting as the sun blazed overhead. She threaded her fingersthrough his hair and pulled his head back, kissing him as theycontinued to move together until he growled and shifted positionuntil she was on her back, a leg draped over his arm, while hisother arm pulled her toward him. She looked up at his intense faceand held him as he drove into her until she arched and moaned low.He thrust into her, and his body shook as a low rumble came fromhis throat.

He held himself inside her as hetrembled before he withdrew, removed the condom, and returned toher, gathering her against him. He held her close, and thetemperature started dropping.

She shivered. “Was it this coolwhen we came out here?”

He shook his head. “No, itcooled down as we heated up.”

She looked back toward thehouse. “Oh, no. That is a lot of snow. We have to get going,”

“Why? He nuzzled the curve ofher neck that he seemed to find fascinating.

“Because there is already aninch of snow on the ground, and the road here sucks when it comes.We have to get back.”

He snapped his fingers, and herclothing was back on her. She hissed and punched him in theribs.

“What was that for?”

“An inch of snow in my bra andpanties.” She got up and grabbed the tarp, hauling it to the quadand tossing the chainsaw and cut wood on top. The rumble of themotor was distracting considering her previous activities, but NanaBaker had rules, and they all circled around, not leaving a jobundone. She had sawn the wood, so she would stack it.

She put the wood on the pile,set the chainsaw back in the shed, covered the quad with the tarp,and hung the keys inside the house. “I am making a run for it,Nana.”

“Yes, Stinger. Are you comingback soon?” Nana Baker reached out and plucked a leaf from herhair.

“Um, I don’t know. I have tohead out and check on some of the businesses. They do better whenthey don’t know I am coming.”

Nana Baker scowled. “I wantgreat-grandbabies.”

Stiila was at sea. “And?”

“I want them out of you.” NanaBaker frowned. “You are a good girl; why are you toying with Arthurlike this?”

Arthur was leaning in thehallway with his arms crossed over his chest. Stinger cleared herthroat. “Because he is such a fun toy? Oh, ask my mom. My fathershowed up, so they are getting reacquainted.”

“What about that cat shifter atyour house?”

“Mom still insists he is a cat.You can ask her about that delusion. I have to make a run for itbefore the snow blocks the road.” She handed the list back to NanaBaker. “I got to nearly everything. Wait. When did that showup?”

Nana held up the telescope shehad been casually palming. “When you were against the tree.”

“Nana, I should not have gottenyou that telescope.”

“But, you did, and I saw what Isaw.”

“No grandbabies.” She waved atArthur. “See you later.”

He looked startled, but sheturned and bolted. He might not take the snow seriously, but shedid, and she knew where she could hole up while it lasted.

She got into her car, buckledup, and peeled out.

Arthur looked after her and sighed. “Whydid she take off like that?”

“She knows how the road gets.The forecast says that the city is going to be locked in tomorrow.If she doesn’t get back there, she isn’t going to be able toleave.”

He frowned. “Why is she soaverse to children? Most magic users are all for it.”

“Ah, sweet little Arthur, shewas born out of wedlock or binding or even handfasting with no malein sight. Her family accepts a lot, but it confused them, and theirearly reactions were not as kind as one would have hoped. She camehere, and this is where Stinger drew her first breath. I saw thatmark on her and knew in that instant that you two were fated.”

Arthur sighed. “I was seven. Youwould call and talk to dad, and there was a crying baby in thebackground.”

“Ah, you remember that?”

He chuckled. “My mom would laughand say she sounded delicious. Dad said she sounded angry.”

“She was. She was a little ballof fury and yelled for six months solid, then she went quiet, and Ihad to watch everything around the house.”

“Why didn’t I ever meether?”

“Her mother didn’t want toimpose, and I only have two guest rooms. They left to stay withKallie and Cian when it was needed; you slept in her bed when youwere over.”

“Wait. That was her knifecollection I found when I was a teenager? She wasseven.”

His grandmother chuckled. “Shehas always had skills in the martial arts, plus those force whipsof hers. She was the terror of the playground until we homeschooledher. She graduated when she was fourteen.”

Arthur paused. “Is there reallythat much snow coming?”

“There is. You should get going,or you won’t be able to help get her unstuck from the mud puddle atthe bottom of the hill. It seems her car is stuck.”

“Grandma, you didn’t.” Arthurwas mildly horrified. He got his earth manipulation from hisgrandmother, and if Stinger was stuck, she was reallystuck.

“I did, dear. You had betterhurry. That one is deep, and Stinger’s fire
