around and left the room. Logan could still feel the witch’s pain. Whatever happened between him and Abner, it must have been bad. Maybe in time the pair could repair what was so obviously damaged between them.

The heat radiating off Finn’s body warmed Logan straight through his clothes. He sank back against his lover and thought about what Finn had confessed earlier. Logan would be a liar if he said he didn’t want to know what dirty thoughts had been cascading through his mate’s mind. This was the first time Logan wished his gift worked on command, but it didn’t.
“So what sort of dirty things have you been contemplating in that head of yours?” Logan asked as he leaned farther into Finn’s chest.
“I’d bet you would love to know. But I think it would be better to show you,” Finn purred into his ear, causing Logan’s body to tremble.
“Okay, you two, take it to your bedroom.” They both looked toward Trevor.
“Gladly.” Finn grabbed his hand and raced out of the kitchen, and it took everything Logan had to keep up.

Chapter Ten
Logan lay entwined with Finn. The warmth coming off the man warmed him to the bone. He had never felt more loved than he did when with Finn. Being with his mate was like coming home. There was no greater feeling than that.
The light snoring coming from Finn didn’t bother him in the least.
Logan just hugged the man closer to his chest as he slept.
He lifted his hand to run down the side of Finn’s hip but his arm screamed in protest. Finn had kept him up most of the night, redefining the Kama Sutra. They made love on every piece of furniture in the man’s bedroom and in the bathroom. Hell, they even got it on in the closet just to see if they both could fit in the tight quarters. The burn and strain in his muscles never felt so good.
The smile on his face fell to a settled grin as he lay next to his lover. After all he had learned, he’d be a liar to say he was disappointed with the path his life had taken. Granted, it wasn’t every day a person woke up to discover they were a witch, but Logan could get through it if Finn was the person he got to come home to at the end of the day.
The soft chirping of his ringtone had him pulling his arm free from underneath Finn. Finn didn’t stir. He just grunted and rolled to lie on his stomach. A soft moan crossed Finn’s lips as he burrowed down into the blankets, and Logan couldn’t help stopping to stare.
Finn looked so young and peaceful, like a teenager trying to catch that extra five minutes before getting up for school.
God, he’s beautiful and all mine.

Logan found his jeans discarded by the bathroom door and fished out his cell phone. He looked down to see Leo’s number flashing across the screen.
“Hello.”
“Logan, we have a problem.” The concern in Leo’s tone was palpable through the phone.
“What?” His heart began to beat frantically. “Are you okay? Is it Mrs. Parker?”
“No, we’re both fine, but”—there was a long pause before Leo finished his sentence—“but L&L Coffee Stop isn’t. We’ve been broken into. The sheriff is on his way over.” His best friend’s voice began to crack.
“Leo, don’t go inside the store until the sheriff gets there.” Logan hopped around on one foot trying to pull his pants up. “Whoever did this could come back.”
“That’s what the lady at dispatch said.” Logan could hear Leo take slow, uneven breaths. “I can’t believe this has happened to us.
We’re good people, Logan. Who would do such a thing?”
“I don’t know. I don’t know.” He slid into his shoes, and he shouldered the phone to his ear. “I’ll be there as soon as I can. It’s going to be oaky, Leo.”
Logan disconnected the call and shoved the phone into his back pocket. He snatched his shirt from the ground and pulled it over his head.
“What’s going on?” Finn asked as he finished putting
