You Complete Me (9 page)

“I am, as well.” Hagan draped his arm around her shoulders.

“The will of the Sources has been done.” The being bowed his head. The light disappeared, plunging the group into darkness.

Emily grasped him tighter and buried her face against his chest. Hagan braced himself for the falling feeling. The last time he’d been sent out of the cave of the Sources, he’d felt like he’d been shoved. Smoke flowed around them again, but this time when it filtered away, they were all back at the mansion. Everyone looked around at each other, but no one spoke.

Kynan sank onto the arm of the chair beside Lexa. He finally broke the silence. “I trust you all to select your representatives. I’m bowing out. I’m old compared to quite a few of you and I’d like to spend some time with my mate. We’ve got a lot of catching up to do.” He held out his hand to Lexa. “Good evening.” Without a backward glance, he and Lexa left the room.

No doubt to have a weeklong sex-a-thon.
Emily smothered a giggle against Hagan’s pec.

Sounds like a great idea to me.
He kissed the top of her head. He’d spent so much time trying to prevent the ending factor of the sun, he wasn’t sure he wanted to devote his time to a council. “I nominate Creighton and Vanessa. Other than Kynan and Lexa, they’ve done the most to keep the group together and safe.”

“What do you think, V?” Creighton squeezed her hand. “We’ve got this leadership thing down pretty well.”

She shrugged and blushed. “I never…why not? We don’t have to be in charge forever. Sure.”

“Anyone object?” Creighton asked. He stood and tugged Vanessa to her feet. When no one spoke, he nodded once. “Fine. We’ll let Kynan know.”

Ava glanced over at Hagan once more before leaving the room with Joachim and Padraig in tow. Greer grinned and shrugged. “You could’ve been a good leader, too. Come on, guys. We need to get out of here and leave the newly mated ones alone.” She giggled and bounced out of the room with Ricky and Paul behind her.

Leaving the newly mated ones alone? Guess everyone can see that glow.
He trailed his fingers down her spine to the waistband of her jeans. He slipped his hand over her ass.
There’s a certain Hunter who has my heart. I’d like to make love to her. Know where she is?

Emily elbowed him in the ribs.
She’s right here, but she’s going to do the leading, vampire.
She kissed him hard on the lips.
I’m rather fond of you and my protective streak has grown much wider.

Just fond of me?
He gathered her in his arms. His erection jabbed against her thigh, no doubt giving her the hint as to what he wanted.

I love you, mate.
She eased her fingers over his constrained erection.
I can’t wait to play with this.

Holy shit. He couldn’t wait for her to play with it, either.
I love you, too. Let’s go upstairs and show each other how much we…care.

Care? You mean fucking like rabbits.
She grinned.
I’m all for making love until we collapse. One condition—the last one to the room is the bottom.
She slipped free of his grasp and sprinted out of the room.

Any other time he’d have used his intensified speed to beat her to the room, but since he’d learned to give over control, he preferred having her on top. Hagan rubbed his hands together. She completed him. His undead life was better because he’d found her. His journey wasn’t over—not by far. The war was done for the time being and they’d all found their intended futures. Nothing could be better.

Time to make love to his mate.

THE END

To my readers…

Thank you for coming with me on this fantastic journey into the world of the Supers. I’ve had a great time bringing them to you.

Did you have a particular favorite character? I love them all. Hagan was probably my favorite, though. He’s a wounded soul and trying to find his way. I could identify with his struggle and wanted him to get the happy ending he deserved.

Were there any characters you wanted to read more about? Then let me know! I’ve enjoyed exploring their world and am always willing to check back with them. You never know, I might let your favorite character do some more talking, so do let me know.

Thank you for reading the series and coming along with me. I wouldn’t be where I am without you, my readers. You’re all wonderful.

EXCERPT from Book 1,
You Have Me

“I can’t promise I won’t find someone else.” Alexa pulled the jacket tighter around her slender body. Her blue eyes glistened in the moonlight. “I can’t.”

“I understand.” Kynan bowed his head. From the moment he’d met her, he loved her. But he’d learned the hard way. Love meant saying goodbye and having his heart ripped out all over again. But if she needed him, he’d protect her. Always.

Tears slipped down Alexa’s cheeks. “This thing we share, this bond, it can’t be healthy. You’re dead. You should be with other dead people…right?”

“I’ll always be with you.” He kissed her hands. Part of him longed to run his fingers through her hair and taste her kiss. He hated himself for wanting her as more than a friend, but she’d been off limits. Now she didn’t see him as anything other than a dead freak. “I’m always on your side. If you need me, say my name. You’ll have all of me in your hands. Forever.”

“Don’t make this any harder than it has to be.” She wiped her cheeks with the back of her hands. When she closed her eyes, her chin quivered. He felt her internal struggle to walk away. Staying with him wasn’t part of her future. Not at the moment.

“The sun’s rising. I can’t stay now, but I will watch you.” He knew this day would come. The day she left him and struck out on her own. She’d turned eighteen a month before and graduated high school. She needed to figure out who she was. He couldn’t expect her to want him, but Christ, the quiet little town wouldn’t be the same without her.

“Goodbye, Kynan. I love you.”

He only hoped she truly did. Kynan watched her walk away, her footsteps soft on the limestone path. He perched on the tombstone and massaged his temple. Being sent to Erie View sucked until he realized who he’d been sent to watch. Alexa made him smile. She made him wish to be alive and to have a heart once more.

Kynan rubbed his chest. The hole from the staking had closed, but the divot remained. He’d go to hell for her, but she wanted freedom.

“Just don’t forget me, Lexa,” he whispered. “I’ll never forget you.”

Like spicy romance? So do I! Come along on this journey with me. I’ve always dreamt of writing the stories in my head. Tall, dark, and handsome heroes are my favorites, as long as he has an independent woman keeping him in line. I love playing with words and letting the characters run wild. NASCAR, Ohio farmland, dirt racing, animals and second chance romance all feature prominently in my books. I also write under the pen name of Megan Slayer. Come join me for this fantastic journey!
