I love you, Holly, he thought.
Then his cat began purring happily. Yes!She’s our mate. Our forever mate.
That was when Ice figured out what had just happened.
His cat had sealed a mating bond to Holly.
But since she was an Ordinary, the bond was one-sided.
Ice belonged to her now, body and soul. He would be completely screwed if he couldn’t win her heart.
Chapter Twelve – Morning After
Holly drifted awake up from a wonderful dream. In it, she was floating through the air of a tropical island, her body covered in white butterflies that caressed her with feather-light wings.
Bathed in the glow of utter contentment, all her muscles feeling like warm butter, she had fallen into a deep sleep in Ice’s brawny arms last night.
Now, a teasing puff of warm breath against her sensitized breasts made her eyes flutter open.
Pale daylight washed through the cabin’s windows. Outside, the blizzard was still going strong, with swirling masses of snowflakes beating against the panes like the butterflies of her dream.
Ice’s shaggy brown hair filled her vision. She inhaled sharply as his tongue flicked the tip of her breast. Her nipple instantly hardened in response, and hot arousal kindled between her legs.
“Good morning,” he rumbled, his whisky-colored eyes glowing as they met her. “I woke up hungry for you.”
Holly smiled down at him. Happiness surrounded her like a warm goose down comforter. “You’re much better than my alarm clock.”
He laughed, then surged up to claim her lips in a long, tender kiss.
She couldn’t believe her luck.
Last night had been amazing, filled with the kind of mind-blowing sex that she’d always thought belonged only in books and movies.
Ice made her feel like the most beautiful, most desirable woman in the world. Like he couldn’t control himself around her. It was heady stuff.
Even the part where he regularly turned furry didn’t feel like an insurmountable barrier. It just made him more interesting.
As their kiss continued and deepened, Ice cupped her breast, stroking the wet, stiff tip.
“How’s your leg feeling this morning?” he asked eventually. He sounded as breathless as she felt.
“Fine,” she said. In fact, she’d almost forgotten about it. It turned out that multiple orgasms were a great painkiller.
“Great.” He rolled onto his back, effortlessly lifting her and putting her on top of him. “Wanna ride me to a happy ending?”

“Crap!” Holly exclaimed much, much later. She shook off her afterglow and sat bolt upright in the bed. “I forgot to check in with my boss!”
Ice snaked his arm around her waist and kissed her hip. “My satellite Internet’s probably still down.”
“I have one of those emergency communicators in my pack,” she informed him. “And I really need to get in touch with the office before they send out Search & Rescue.”
“Okay,” Ice said. He swung his legs over the edge of the mattress and rose to his feet with feline grace. “You stay put. I’ll go get your thingamajig. Where is it?”
“Side pocket of my pack.” Not bothering to hide her appreciation at his magnificently naked form, Holly watched him pad over to where her backpack stood next to two pairs of boots. The man had a beautiful butt. The rest of him was lithe muscle striped with a disturbing number of thick scars whitened with age.
A moment later, he tossed a small black device onto her comforter-covered lap. It looked like a cross between a cellphone and a walkie-talkie.
