Logan's Rattler by A. Jarrett (best books for 20 year olds txt) 📕

“Yes, but do you want to get Klaus down here to talk to him?”

Carter offered. “He’s a stronger witch than me, so he would be able to sense more, but it won’t change anything. Your mate is a witch or at least part witch.”

Gentle hands tilted his head upward, and Logan met Finn’s golden eyes. “Honey, it’ll be okay. I know this isn’t how you thought your life would turn out, but we can get through this.” Finn took a deep breath. “Just don’t leave me.”

Finn’s words broke through his panic attack and brought Logan back to the present. “Leave you? Are you fucking insane? Am I freaking out here? Yes. But I love you, and everything that we just learned doesn’t change that.” He kissed Finn’s lips softly. “I’d never

leave you. I just hope you aren’t disappointed that you’re mated to a witch.”

“Never.” A smile curled the corners of Finn’s mouth as he leaned in for another kiss. Logan was happy to oblige the request and opened wide for his lover’s invading tongue.

“Boo,” Trevor bellowed as he threw potato chips at them. “No kissing or groping in front of me. It gets me all worked up, and I can’t take any more self-pleasure. I’ve developed calluses on my hands.

Here look.” Trevor held his hand up high, palm outward for them to see.

“Maybe fang boy has a point. I don’t want to put on a show for all to see.” Finn helped him to his feet.

He smiled at the man he loved, knowing deep down he’d never leave him. He caught a glimpse of pink hair heading toward the door.

“Carter, wait a minute.” Carter turned around at his calling. “I have more questions for you.”

“Okay shoot.”

“How come I can’t hear Finn’s thoughts?” He darted his eyes to his mate to see what Finn’s reaction would be.

“You can’t hear me?” Logan shook his head. “Oh thank god! Ever since I learned you can hear voices, I’ve been panicking that you could hear my dirty thoughts.”

Logan eyed his lover up and down. Dirty thoughts. That had him intrigued.

“It might be a mate thing.” Carter suggested. “It might be fate’s way of keeping you two on equal ground in your relationship.

Because honestly, I wouldn’t want to know every thought my mate is having. It could really hurt your relationship.”

With that Carter turned 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
