When both parties are telepathic and can read each other's thoughts they can tell when the other is being playful:
“Alone at last!”
To which he replied, “Let's go to sleep, I'm exhausted!” Then he smiled at me.
Well we did go to sleep, eventually....
Rest assured, they enjoyed themselves before eventually going to sleep!
So the timeline skipped ahead 3 months, did they wait that long to execute the creeps? The chapter timeline is a little murky. The executions were appropriate to the heinous crimes committed. Reilly probably got more revenge and seemed to enjoy it more than her mother would have wanted but who could begrudge her?
I must say the sex scenes were hot as usual and it seems the author enjoys writing them.
Still wondering about Elijah and the remaining pups.
Caleb still has to be dealt with. The surviving council member's manner of death still is not decided. The extent of the "other" interests in the enterprise are still unknown. And I expect the worst of the shit storm is still to happen...
Playing the chapter like a movie in my mind, the amount of blood, gore and guts was astonishing!
I was surprised Reilly made it through without ending up with a total mental breakdown. He's one tough shifter!
Still don't know about Caleb, although he did help a bit at the end...
