“Kem. Please.”

I pull off her with a pop, standing at the edge of the bed. My shoulders bunch as I rip my tunic over my head, tearing the seams in my haste. As I kick my pants off, my eyes burn across her skin as she shrugs out of the scraps of her dress, kicks off the other shoe, and wiggles out of her panties. I kneel on the bed and dive for her mouth. Our kiss is urgent, frantic, and sears right to my soul. With one thrust, I’m hilt deep in her once again, and I roll my pelvis against her clit. Her cry of pleasure fills the room, and I slam into her over and over. Her wet heat sucks me hard and holds me tight within her. With every slap of our sweat-slicked skin, a thread forms between us, pulling tighter and tighter as if our very souls are weaving together.

She bits my lip, and I growl into her mouth. My cock rubs against her inner walls with every thrust, and my lips trail back to her neck where that foul male dared leave his scent, his saliva.

Mine!

My teeth sink back into her flesh, this bite gentler than the first, but no less stimulating. Pleasure pools low in my stomach, and tingling sparks flare in my lower back, shooting up my spine.

“Kem. I’m close. Oh, gods. Kem!”

“Say it, Tatha. Say it, my Heilsi.”

“Yours. I’m yours. Mate. Please, Mate. Please. Please. Please.”

I lick the bite marks on her skin and whisper against her cheek. “Come for me, Heilsi. Shatter around me. Squeeze me with your perfect cunt. Show me you belong to me as I belong to you.”

“Yes! Fuck! Fuck! Oh. Oh. Oh.”

Her walls convulse around my cock, and her mouth opens in a silent scream as she comes. The sight of my Mate coming undone under me, the feel of her shuddering around me as she comes apart for me, drives me over the edge.

I drive deep within her as my orgasm tears through me. My body explodes, and the feeling transcends even a free fall from the highest air currents where the air is so thin, it makes you lightheaded.

This is infinitely better. This is … destiny connecting me with my Mate and her with me.

As the bliss mellows to a sweet thrum of pleasure, and my heart slows from its galloping pace, I gaze down at Tatha.

Her hair is wild around her face. Pleasure glazes her eyes, and little pants of air pass her lips as she tries to catch her breath. I caress her cheek, my talons gone so I can feel her against my fingers. Her skin is so soft, but there’s strength behind all that softness.

She stares at my face, and I smile down at her. “My Heilsi. My miracle.”

“What does that mean?”

I kiss her lips, and she melts under me. “Fierce one.”

She sighs, the sound content. “I can’t believe … why didn’t I recognize you earlier?”

My hands continue to trail over her body, tracing and learning every curve and dip. “I think your human form was a bit … overwhelmed.”

Her teeth chew at her bottom lip. “I guess that makes sense.” A flush is building once again across the swell of her breasts as my fingers lightly trail over her skin. “What happens now, Kem?”

I smile, ducking my head to trace my tongue around her navel. “Well, first, I need some time to learn my Mate properly.” I lick the dip at the top of her thigh. “Then I need to feed my Mate.” My teeth nip at the skin of her inner thigh, and her hips lift to meet my lips. “Then I’ll bring my Mate back to bed.”

“To sleep?”

She chuckles when I raise an eyebrow. “Eventually.”

Her fingers thread through my locs, pressing my face between her legs. I laugh, peeking up at her over her gorgeous body. She gasps when she sees I’ve shifted—just my tongue as it flicks from between my lips. The forked tip tastes the air, catching her scent, her arousal, her fire.

“What’s your favorite flower?”

Her head snaps up, confusion crinkling the space between her brows. “Small talk? Right now?”

My tongue flicks her clit. “I told you, I want to learn my Mate.”

Her head falls back to the bed. “Fuuuck me. Why do I find that so hot?”

I chuckle against her soaked folds, and her thighs squeeze my head. Pressing a hand to her inner thigh, I spread her open. “So?”
