"I—What?" Romulus said, eyes wide.

"I told you I'm not good with words when it's you. You need to know I'm still going to make your life difficult at times. I'm still going to be afraid you'll change your mind about us." Laverna held out her hand to him. "But I've never wanted to steal anything like I've always wanted to steal your heart. So come to bed with me, farm boy, before I come to my senses."

Romulus took her hand and stood, a dazed expression on his face. She knew that feeling. It was shock and longing, and Laverna had felt it every day since Romulus had licked her in his bathhouse.

Only the Fates knew how everything would work out tomorrow night, and she wasn't going to be rushed to get what she wanted. Laverna led him back to his bedroom, and to the king-size bed covered in dark red sheets.

She lifted the hem of his shirt and gently kissed the groove between his pecks. He wasn't a six-pack pretty boy. He was all bulky muscle, the kind of strength from years of combat combined with the power of the beast within him.

Romulus let her touch him before lifting his shirt over his head. He didn't object when she tugged his drawstrings loose and let his pants fall to the floor.

"You need to get on that bed," she said, gently pushing him towards it. "I want to show you the only way that you are beneath me."

Romulus's eyes heated, but he did as he was told. Laverna didn't think she would ever get used to seeing him naked. It was so much she didn't know where she wanted to start.

Laverna slipped out of her own clothes and slowly crawled up his body. "Permission to use a few goddess tricks?"

"Do whatever you want to me," he replied, sending a thrill straight down her spine. Her power danced out of her, looping around his wrists and lashing them to the headboard. He chuckled, "I like where this is going."

Laverna kissed the laugh right from his mouth. Her tongue brushed against his lips, and he opened for her. The roughness of his stubble and the softness of his lips were enough to keep her there, just enjoying kissing him. Romulus didn't rush her either. He really was surrendering to her. The knowledge made her feel more powerful than she had in centuries.

Laverna kissed and sucked her way down his neck and to the chest she loved so much. With wicked delight, she discovered he had sensitive nipples, and she made a point to leave her marks all down his body. She licked over his hips and the V-muscles that led to the prettiest cock she had ever seen. She wanted to taste him, to give him the kind of pleasure he had given her, and take her time doing it.

Romulus whimpered with the first lick of her tongue. She sucked off the pre-cum that had already been dripping out of him before relaxing her jaw and taking him.

"Fuckkking Fates," Romulus groaned, his hips lifting to meet her mouth.

Laverna put a hand on his abs to push him back down and pin him in place. He had explored every inch of her, and she needed to do the same. He had edged her until she was almost crazed, and she was going to get her revenge for that.

Every time his breathing got a little too rapid, she gripped the base of his dick and eased off until he calmed again. He was muttering ancient curses under his breath, and she laughed wickedly before giving his balls the same attention.

Seeing this man who had always been such a giant of a personality, his constant boiling alpha energy brought to heel under her, was the sexiest damn thing she had ever seen in her long, long life. Her pussy was drenched, and she hadn't even touched herself. When he was nearing his edge again, Laverna stopped sucking him and moved up his body. His expression was hazy, lost somewhere between pleasure and pain.

"Look at me, Romulus," she commanded, divinity threading through her voice. His golden eyes focused on her, watching intently as she lined the broad head of his cock to her pussy and sank down on him.

He strained against the golden bonds holding him, his whole body shaking. Laverna breathed deeply and let her body adjust to him, her fingers gently stroking over his chest.

"You are so damn beautiful, Laverna. How did I resist you for so long?" Romulus said, his face full of wonder.

"Why did you resist is the better question. We could have been doing this for centuries," Laverna pointed out and rocked her hips in a slow circle. Romulus trembled beneath her, so she did it again.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry," he murmured, his voice breaking.

"I'm a goddess, Romulus. I don't want apologies from you. I want penance," she said and dropped her human form altogether. Her crown of laurel leaves and bone appeared on her head, and golden light shimmered under her skin.

Romulus's back arched, and she placed a hand on his chest, holding him down as she began to ride him. He didn't look away from her. He only let his own power out to clash against hers. Instead of fighting against it, she embraced it, let them wash together as she took his body.

"Mine," the wolf said through Romulus's mouth. "My mate."

"Yes," Laverna replied, and her orgasm sparked lightning through her ichor. She was so lost in the feeling of pleasure and power drowning her that she didn't realize he had broken free of her bonds until she was being lifted off him. She laughed breathlessly as he positioned her on her hands and knees and wrapped his big hands around her throat.

"My mate," Romulus repeated and nipped the skin over one shoulder blade. "My goddess. My love."

"Yes, Rom." Tears fell down her face, the last of the wall between them shattering. "I love you. I want you to be my mate."

Romulus pressed his face to her back, his cheek wet against her skin and breathing ragged. "I never thought that this day would come. I never imagined..." He kissed her skin, and then all of the gentleness left him. He pressed his cock back inside of her and slammed it up to his hilt. Laverna cried out even as she pushed back, needing more. Always more.

"Yes, Rom. Take me the way you want me," she begged. And he did. His hand was back around her throat, the other dropping to her clit and making her come in a shaking gasp that had her lowering herself to her forearms because she couldn't hold herself up. He didn't stop, only grabbed her hips, lifting her up with his immense strength and fucking into her with all he had.
