“I love you," I breathed, and Auguste stiffened. I turned my hand over to press my palm to Jonathon's. "I love you all, I—" Auguste groaned and then rolled, circling me with his arms and legs, tea sweet lips folding between mine and kissing me, his tongue stroking in. "Je t'aime, ma petite. I love you." "We love you, little girl," Jonathon growled out with a hint of my Mr. Tanner in his voice. "My sweet little puisín, mo grá." "My star, my love." "My Esther." I giggled at Booker's final claiming, and Auguste's mouth moved down to my throat, never needing to break his kiss for breath.”
