Briars POV I woke up to dark blue eyes staring at me intently, "good morning Maddox baby". He leans down and kisses my lips, " good morning my soulmate", he pulls me onto his chest so my legs are straddling him. I push myself up so I can grind on him, he moans in approval, I feel a stirring in my head, "Avalon? Can you take control?" "Yes Briar, if you allow it", I mentally scratched her ears, "that's not how it works with us love. We are equal partners, you can come out whenever you want and I will never block you, unless there is no other choice, now come forward and spend time with your mate, but no fully mating or marking until I am sixteen OK". She nodded and pushed forward. ............................................................................................................
