Juno’s POV
Augustin’s voice in my head made me straighten. What is it?
Chris Sinclair and his family have arrived in Clifflands. They’ll be at the manor on my behalf.
Oh? I responded, curious. Is something wrong with the plan?
We’ve hit some challenges. Nothing major, but it requires my attention.

I couldn’t help the mischievous thought that followed. I might need some stress relief activities before I’m fit for diplomatic duties.
There was a heartbeat of silence before his response came, direct and unambiguous. Then come to my office.
My mouth fell open slightly, earning curious looks from Scarlett and Freya. I hadn’t expected him to take me seriously. A flush crept up my neck as my body immediately responded to his invitation. Desire pooled low in my belly.
Are you serious? I sent back, already knowing the answer.
Very. I’m waiting.
Scarlett was saying something about the silver powder they’d used during interrogation, but I wasn’t listening anymore. My mind had already left the room, racing down corridors to where Augustin waited.
I stood abruptly. “Augustin just linked. He needs me for something.” I hoped my voice sounded normal, that they couldn’t detect the quickening of my pulse or the heat in my cheeks.
Freya waved a hand. “Go ahead. We’ll wait here for you.”
I felt a twinge of guilt for the deception, but it was quickly washed away by anticipation. “Thanks. I’ll be back… when I
can.”
The corridors of Levenston Manor had never seemed so long. I walked quickly, not quite running but close, my body already humming with anticipation. I loved this side of Augustin, the spontaneity beneath his controlled exterior. Seraphine stirred restlessly, already craving her mate.
Damn it. I was going to come too quickly at this rate. Just the thought of him waiting for me, wanting me urgently enough to summon me in the middle of the day, had my temperature rising. I hoped this wouldn’t make me too distracted to complete the diplomatic task he’d assigned.
When I reached his office door, I paused to catch my breath, smoothing my hair and clothes before knocking softly. Then I
turned the handle and stepped inside.
Augustin sat on the leather sofa across the room, his shirt hanging open to reveal his sculpte chest. His eyes, dark with desire, met mine immediately.
“Lock the door,” he commanded, his voice low and rough.

I obeyed without hesitation.
“Now take off your clothes.”
I felt my cheeks heat despite myself. After everything we’d done together, he could still make me blush like a virgin.
“So,” he said with a slow smile, “you mentioned needing some stress relief?”
“I was joking,” I admitted, already pulling my shirt over my head. “I didn’t think you’d actually…”
“I never joke about giving you what you need.”
My hands trembled slightly as I unhooked my bra and slid it off. His gaze tracked every movement, his appreciation evident in the way his breathing deepened. I shimmed out of my pants next, then hesitated at my underwear.
“Everything,” he reminded me.
I slipped my thumbs under the waistband and slid the fabric down my legs, aware of how wet I already was. The cool air of the office against my heated skin made me shiver.
Augustin didn’t move from the sofa, just drank me in with his eyes. Come here.”
I crossed the room to him, feeling powerful despite my nakedness. He reached for me as I approached, pulling me onto his lap so I straddled him. His hands found my hips, gripping firmly as his mouth sought mine in a hungry kiss.
There was no slow build–up, no gentle teasing. We were both already too far gone for that. His fingers slid between my legs, finding me slick and ready.
“Perfect,” he murmured against my mouth. “Always so ready for me.”
Seraphine howled in my mind, demanding more. I could smell Fenris rising to the surface as well, that wild, masculine scent that drove me crazy. My hands fumbled with his belt, desperate to free him.
“Turn around,” he ordered once I’d managed to undo his pants. “I want to take you from behind.”
I complied, bracing myself against the arm of the sofa as he positioned himself behind me. His hand stroked down my spine, then gripped my hip as he pushed inside me in one smooth thrust.
“Augustin,” I gasped.
He set a relentless pace, each thrust driving deeper than the last. My fingers dug into the leather as pleasure built rapidly,
too rapidly.
“I’m going to-” I couldn’t even finish the sentence before my orgasm
crashed over me, making me cry out.
His hand came down in a light slap against my clit. “Already? I’ve barely started with you.”
The sting only intensified my pleasure, making me shudder around him, I can’t help I panted. “You feel too good.”
He leaned over me, his chest against my back, and growled in my ear. “Then you’ll just have to come again. And again. And I did, as he changed our position, lifting me effortlessly to bend me over his desk, then pulling me back to the sofa to

ride him. Each climax was more intense than the last, until my skin felt like it was on fire and ice at the same time, pins and needles racing across my nerve endings while the room spun and buzzed around me.
When he finally tensed beneath me, gripping my hips hard enough to bruise as he filled me with his release, I was barely coherent. I collapsed against him, gasping for breath, my body still pulsing with aftershocks.
He slipped out of me gently, his hand stroking my hip as he placed a tender kiss on my right side. “Turn around,” he whispered.
I managed to turn and face him, finding him smiling up at me, satisfaction evident in his expression.
“Feeling less stressed now?” he asked, a hint of smugness in his voice.
I shook my head, unable to keep from smiling back. “Not at all,” I teased.
We both laughed, the sound filling the office with warmth. I began to gather my clothes, reluctant to leave the cocoon of pleasure we’d created but aware of our responsibilities.
“So,” Augustin said as I dressed, “how did it go with Eliza and the other two?”
I filled him in on the details, not sparing anything. His expression grew increasingly shocked as I described our interrogation methods.
