her hand on his chest, feeling the thudding of his heart. “This was part of the agreement, Reygaer. I would find my mate, increase my lifespan, have children and outlive my family. You or them, Reygaer. That was the deal I made, my past or my future. I chose a future.”
    He blinked rapidly and she saw him fighting tears.
    She cupped his cheek and pressed kisses to his jaw and temple. “It is fine. I am not fey-touched. I am with you as an equal. We are starting a storm here, a social revolution of magic. I will see my family and be part of them as long as I can, and when they pass, I will be there and comfort the next generation until my time comes.”
    He placed his hand at the nape of her neck and turned his head to meet her lips. “And I will be at your side until the day we draw our last breaths, hopefully, with our children and grandchildren around us.”
    She smiled at the carefully constructed thoughts. “You have not thought beyond the mating, not really.”
    He shrugged and kissed her again, easing her to her side, lifting her thigh and sliding into her.
    “Always so welcoming.” His eyes were heavy lidded. “I do love that about you.”
    She didn’t answer him; she kissed his neck and rocked her hips against him. She coaxed him deeper, harder and rocked with him until she gripped her fingers into his shoulder and she shivered along with her moan.
    He groaned softly and gripped her hips as he kept himself inside her.
    She nibbled at his neck and changed her tongue to rasp across the columns of muscle and tendon. He blinked and moaned. “That feels amazing.”
    She smiled. That was the idea, but he might have figured that out as she released him from inside her and worked down his body with special attention to the tattoos. They appeared to enjoy the sensation, because his erection thickened and gleamed once again.
    Nova moved down to show him the hazards of mating to a big cat, but he simply grunted as she stroked her tongue from base to tip over and over again.
    With the endless patience of her kind, she lapped at him until he groaned and a jet of cum shot from him to land on the sheets. A few spurts joined it as she continued lapping away, and when he tugged at her hair, she left his cock and crawled back to face him, nuzzling his jaw with her nose.
    He wrapped his arms around her and pressed a kiss to her neck. “When do we have to leave?”
    She chuckled. “I don’t know. I have never gotten this far before.”
    He wove his fingers through hers and kissed her softly. “Then, from here on in, we are on even ground.”
    She enjoyed the glow of being with him when a random name popped into her mind. “Why Jack Wilson?”
    He smiled against her lips. “In the days before we became public knowledge and we used our glamour to hide us when we went amongst humans, we needed names for that purpose. I used Jack Wilson and it stuck with me when I am dealing with those who are not fey.”
    “So, Reygaer Frostwind isn’t legal?”
    “It is a legal name, but Jack Wilson is a valid alternative. I use it for business.”
    She smiled. “Do you really make ice hotels?”
    “Palaces that melt with the spring. Yes.”
    “So, you have actually taken time out of your busy season to come here?” Tears pricked her eyes.
    “I have. One season is well worth even the chance to find a mate.” He stroked her cheek.
    “Then, we had better get this ratified before they change their minds.”
    He smiled. “I was thinking that very thing.”
    Neither of them moved to separate until a knock at the door broke their soft caresses and whispers.
    “Nova, Reygaer, if we can get this balance ceremony done, we can invite more shifters and fey here to let them find their own impossible matches. Get out of bed or it will disappear out from under you.” Teebie’s voice was amused but insistent.
    Nova raised her head. “Fine. Ten minutes.”
    “Breakfast will be waiting.”
    Reygaer rolled with her until they fell off the
