together for hundreds of years, and they’re just as in love as the day they met.”

“I understand that, but how can you be for sure it will be the same for us?” Tears pooled in Logan’s eyes, and Finn wanted to hug him close and take away the doubts plaguing him.

Running his hand through his mate’s hair, Finn leaned forward to kiss Logan’s forehead. He breathed deep, taking in Logan’s spicy scent. Feeling the slight shudder run through Logan’s body as he started to hiccup from the tears that began to fall, Finn had no choice.

He had to ease that pain the only way he knew how.

“Because I love you, Logan.” Finn gently turned Logan’s face up to his. “Call me crazy, insane, completely off my rocker. But I want you to know how I feel. I’m over a hundred years old, and I’ve never been in love like I am with you. You’re like the air I breathe. Without you in my life, I couldn’t exist.”

Finn had never been much of a romantic talker, but it seemed his sincerity came through loud and clear based on the watery smile his mate gave him. Finn would never tire of seeing Logan happy.

Before Finn knew what was happening, his mate tackled him to the bed, straddling his hips, and was peppering his face with kisses.

Finn took this as a good sign. Maybe the feelings Logan had for him ran deeper than just a strong liking.

Logan smashed his lips to Finn’s, and he moaned his pleasure.

The kiss was wet and deep, and Finn let Logan control the tempo. The glide of his mate’s hot, moist tongue rubbing alongside his had Finn’s cock filling to the point of pain. He thrust his hips upward as Logan ground down into his erection.

All too soon, Logan pulled back. Finn wanted to complain but saw the distress in his mate’s eyes. Logan sat up, still sitting in Finn’s lap.

Finn grabbed a few pillows that lay around the bed and shoved them under his head. It looked like his mate wanted to talk, and Finn would give the man anything he wanted even at the expense of his dick exploding in his pants from massive blue balls.

“Finn, exactly how old are you?”

“I’m one hundred and eight years old. I guess you could say I’ve been around awhile,” Finn joked.

Logan’s eyes rounded in surprise. “So you being a shifter means you can live forever?”

“Being a paranormal comes with the gift of immortality. That is why finding our mate is such a big deal to us. After having years and years of meaningless relationships, one after another, a person gets weary. They then get tired of living. But when you have the love of a mate, it can make a hundred years together not seem long enough.

Finding the other half of your soul is perfect bliss.”

“So am I immortal now, too?”

“Yes.” Finn watched for any signs of fainting coming from his mate. But like everything else, Logan took this news in stride.

After a few moments of silently staring at him, Logan smiled at Finn. “I guess an entirety with you doesn’t sound too bad.” Finn grinned and moved in to capture his mate’s lips. “Wait just a minute there, little man.” Finn groaned internally at the endearment his mate had taken to calling him.

“I have a few more questions.” Finn nodded. “You said we had already mated. When was that? And do we get married or have some sort of ceremony now?”

“To answer your first question, we became mated together that first night.” He winced when Logan gasped. “I know it’s common in human culture to get married, and we can do that if you want,” Finn rushed out, wanting his mate to know he would do anything to make him happy.

Logan’s eyebrows rose, and his head shook from side to side. “I don’t remember that part.”

“It was when we had sex.”

“Come again? I’m not following.”

He had already told Logan he loved him, and it would seem that his mate had some major feelings toward him, but this might change things.

“Remember when we were having sex and I bit you?” Logan nodded his head yes. “Well I bit myself too, then smeared our combined blood over my dick, then proceeded to make love to you until I came inside your body.” At Logan’s obvious confusion he continued. “It’s called the blood sex magic ritual. A witch taught it to the elders on the council to solidify a union between mates. We grow in strength and power when mated. ”

“Wait a minute.” Logan held up a hand. “I thought
