Hell, I wasn’t about to say no. Nadine slipped her pants back on, and we left the library, our cats following. My dorm room was dark and empty when we arrived. Grant had placed a note next to my bed that read: At Talia’s. Might be gone all night.
I waved the note at Nadine. “I guess you’re staying here tonight.”
“I have no problems with that.” She removed her shirt and dropped it beside her. As she reached for her bra clasp, I stopped her.
“Let me,” I whispered.
Nadine dropped her arms and let me take the lead. My dick was practically struggling out of my pants before her bra fell away. I carried her to the bed and set her down gently, then I stripped off my own clothes and crawled into bed beside her. Her skin was so warm against mine, and my dick was rock-hard.
I curled her in my arms and pressed a kiss to the top of her head. “Sleep well.”
She relaxed against me, and I buried my nose into her rose-scented hair. Goddess, she smelled so sweet. I closed my eyes as blissfulness overcame me…
An odd sensation came over my body. When my eyes opened, Nadine was standing above me. I shivered at the sight of rainbow colors dancing off her naked form. I sat up straight, taking in the strange sensations of the astral plane.
“We did it!” Nadine said happily. She bounced a bit in celebration, and I couldn’t take my eyes off her breasts. Goddess, she was a work of art.
She noticed and took a step back, showing off her raw ethereal form. “You like this?”
Even in spirit, I could hardly catch my breath. “You’re sexy as fuck.”
“You are, too,” she said, coming forward to run her hands over my spirit. It was different when she touched me on the astral plane. It was more than just skin on skin. Our connection ran deeper here.
“I wasn’t sure we’d be able to do it. I’ve been practicing, though. When I’m with you, I get really relaxed, and it was easy.” She beamed. “We can go anywhere, and no one will see us.”
“Unless they’re astral traveling, too,” I reminded her with a laugh. “I already know you’re fantasizing about fucking in the Main Foyer.”
“I’ll go wherever you want me to,” she said. “We can take our spirits anywhere as long as it’s not warded. Professor Ward said we just have to imagine it, and our spirits can go anywhere, right?”
I pressed my lips together. Nadine wanted me to choose… I took her hand. “I have an idea.”
I closed my eyes, and when I opened them, I was enveloped by darkness. It took a few moments for my spiritual eyes to adjust. Under the light of the stars, gravestones began to take shape. Snow dusted the cemetery grounds, but the air felt warm to my spirit form. It should have felt strange to be out in the open completely naked, but the image of laying Nadine naked over one of these graves turned me on more than I thought it would. Maybe it was the Mortana in me, but damn it, I never wanted her more.
Nadine beamed, then grabbed me around the waist and pulled me close.
“Fuck,” I growled, taking her face in my hands.
I kissed her passionately, and her hands roamed over my body. I grabbed her ass and hoisted her upward, and she wrapped her legs around my middle. I didn’t have to hold her there; she floated weightlessly. I trailed kisses down her neck as she took in heavy breaths. My dick hardened as we floated upward, making out over the graves. We didn’t have to say a word, as our hands did all the talking.
Her fingers tangled in my hair. “Lay down, Lucas.”
We floated downward, and I set her gently on the ground, still kissing her all over. Nadine guided me onto my back, then climbed on top of me. Slowly, she eased down onto my cock.
We didn’t need a condom here on the astral plane, and I’d never felt her like this before. Goddess, it was like heaven inside of her—warm and silky. I didn’t know whose grave we were on top of, but it didn’t matter. I’d fuck her on each one of these graves if I could last all night.
Nadine rolled her hips over me like she never had before. She moved with passion and desire, pleasuring me in ways that made my head spin.
“Oh, my—” Nadine didn’t get a chance to finish her plea, because she peaked at that moment. Passion surged through me as she contracted around me, and in that instant, I was done for. My passion erupted, and I came with her.
We fell to the ground, panting. Nadine curled into me. It felt so good when I held her to my chest. It was oddly tranquil in the graveyard. I was so at peace.
It wasn’t lost on me that this peace existed only inside our dreams. I knew what horrors existed in the real world. I knew what dangers we’d face when we woke. But maybe it didn’t have to be that way. For a fleeting moment, I knew what peace felt like.
And I was going to hang on to it… for as long as I possibly could.
