Mapping Spell - (Makai's Point of View)

I'm almost a resident of dreamland when Storm's cry pulls me back into wakeful reality.

"Kai! Omygoddess Kai!"

"What's wrong?" I ask, startled.

"Your mark! Your mating mark finally appeared," he cries, his face the mask of happiness.

My fingers move automatically to my neck.

"It's so pretty! Like mine! Come and see!"

I laugh when he drags me off the bed to the bathroom mirror to see my mating mark. I finger the mark reverently. Storm Is right. My mark Is a twin of his, with the scattered stars and his name written across it. Looking into his happy face, I pull him into a soft kiss. "I'm glad we're matching marks now"

"Me too!"

I chuckle. "Come on Sunshine, let's go to bed."

He yelps when I scoop him up, then smiles when I shift him properly into my arms.

"Take me to bed, Cupcake."

The following day, we wake up in a great mood. Storm giggles when I rouse him with little kisses all over his face.

"I could get used to this kissing service," he murmurs.
