Page 27 of Beautiful Soul

“First of all, I want to apologize,” he said as the horse started clip-clopping its way down the street. “But you need to know the seriousness that would be involved with our third … loving.”

“Seriousness?”

“I’ve been looking for my woman, my mate, the other half of my soul for many years. And I found her. In you. In the supernatural world, three is a magical number. The first time a mated couple has sex the bonds are begun. The second strengthens them, and the third time solidifies them to a degree that they are unbreakable except through death. And even then the mate left behind usually follows a short time after the first mate’s death.”

Lena shifted closer, but remained silent, so he continued. “You are my mate. Not only did our first mating begin the ultimate healing of your scars, the wounds on both our souls began to heal and release injuries of the past. The second mating made me acknowledge to myself that I love you and want you by my side for the rest of our lives.”

“You love me?” Lena asked as she shifted to look up at him.

Kingsley could not help but smile down at her. “Yes, sweetling, I love you.”

****

Lena’s heart filled even as her pussy clenched and dampened at the mage’s words. “You love me,” she whispered a second time, hardly believing his words.

Instead of answering, he leaned down and kissed her before asking gently, “Do you feel anything for me, Lena?”

“Oh, I love you, too,” she said quickly. “I can’t imagine my life without you in it. And if it’s all right with you, I’m going to ask Mystic if she has a studio apartment available that I can use as my office so I can continue working.”

Kingsley brushed a kiss on her temple before pulling her to lean against his side once again. “I don’t think you’ll be able to keep your job.”

“I won’t?” she asked. “But won’t I need to work and help pay the bills?”

She was stunned when he looked at her with a shit-eating grin on his face. “As the city’s angel-in-residence, your unique abilities will be needed in other ways that have nothing to do with answering customer service calls. And you will be well compensated for your skills.”

“But we don’t know what my skills are, do we?”

“Maybe not all of them, but healing, empathy, and calming volatile meetings are all needed in your new world. Question is, are you willing to learn and use these new gifts for the betterment of the city?”

Lena immediately nodded. “I always thought I was in the wrong job, but never really knew what I was supposed to do, so I did whatever I could to pay the bills. I really liked helping you and the others these past few days. Yes, I’d like to learn more about my gifts and skills and if I can help you help the city. That would be great, too.”

She saw they were approaching the alley, but she had one more thing to share with the man she was determined to spend the rest of her life with. Leaning up, she put her lips to Kingsley’s ear and nipped at the earlobe, causing the man to give a low growl in response.

“I cannot wait to get to your apartment and finalize our mating … until neither of us can walk.”

She pulled back and giggled as the arm around her shoulders tightened. Reaching under his cloak, she stroked the erect cock that pressed hard against his slacks.

“Pick up the pace, Jack. We need to be home now,” Kingsley called to the driver in a tight voice, eliciting another giggle from her.

The driver gave the signal and the horse began to move a little faster. In just a few minutes, they had arrived and Kingsley helped Lena from the carriage. They crossed the sidewalk and stepped through the magical barrier that kept blands from finding their way into the supernatural alley.

Lena gave a squeal when Kingsley swept her up into his arms. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she held tight and dropped her head to his shoulder. When things began moving too fast for her eyes to comprehend, she closed them, knowing Kingsley would not let anything happen to her.

“Open your eyes, Angel, we’re here.” Kingsley dropped a kiss on top of her head before setting her on her feet.

Looking around, she saw they were indeed in his apartment and it only took a few seconds, instead of the several minutes and three flights of stairs it normally did.

Beginning to back toward the bedroom, she began to pull the skirt of her gown up her legs. Thank heaven there were no buttons, zippers, or laces to work in order to get the gown off. “Mate with me, Kingsley? Make me yours for the rest of our lives?”

Kingsley began to stalk her, watching with an intensity that sent her arousal spiraling higher and higher. As he did, he dropped his cloak and took another step before dropping his tuxedo jacket. Another step and his tie joined the clothes, followed quickly by his shirt, shoes, and pants.

Lena tossed her dress on the chair just inside the bedroom, then stepped out of her shoes before she sent her bra flying. Shoving her panties to her ankles she stepped out of them and was naked. She smiled as Kingsley followed, shoving off his socks and then his black boxers, leaving him naked and highlighting his gorgeous body and long, thick erection pointed directly at her.

She reached for it, wrapping her small hand around it and stroking up and down its length, bending over and licking the fluid that appeared at the tip.

“I’m going to take you long, and hard, and you’re going to love every minute of it,” Kingsley said in his deep, dark voice that sent need shafting straight to her pussy.

Lena straightened and smiled up at her man. “Show me the magic, my Mage.”
