“Oh, Sturrm.” Her breath hitches. “Yes. Please love me. Love me always.”
“I will, baby girl. I’ll loveyou forever.”
Her hands clutch my shoulders, her legs wrapping around my waist to pull me ever closer.
Goddess, I never want to let this woman go.
I move within her slowly, savoring each touch.
We rock together, each movement the note of a song we sing together, each thrust a new word. Each moment turns into a glorious harmony of pleasure and increased connection.
“This is the song of us,” I say, thrusting deep. “This is the most beautiful song I will ever sing, and it is all for you, my bride, my love.”
“Yes!” Her moans of pleasure strike the sweetest of notes. “I love you, Sturrm.”
She clenches around me, the added pressure making bolts of sensation race down my spine. My body tightens, begging to knot her and bind her to me as my mate.
My hips roll forward, hers rising to meet me in perfect time. My stud hums against her sensitive spot, its mouth working over her until she shudders, her mouth falling open.
“Sturrm!” Her scream is the purest sound in the universe, singing out with love and desire.
“Selena!” I join my voice with hers as my orgasm pours through me, filling her with my seed. Heat flashes on my chest in a nip of pain easily ignored, and then there’s nothing but pleasure, pleasure, pleasure as my knot swells, held tight by her sweet core. Goddess, I never imagined anything could be better than our previous two times together, but the feeling of my knot filling her is the most exquisite sensation of my entire life.
It goes on and on, well past the point where I slump onto her for several minutes, loving the feel of her soft curves pillowing my body. It’s there when I hold her hips to keep her pressed to me as I roll us onto our sides, and it jolts me with aftershocks when her muscles tighten once again.
Selena gasps, a little sound of pleased delight. “Oh, that’s different.” She makes an experimental move, pulling away by less than an inch before coming to an abrupt halt.
I put a hand on her buttocks and ease her back toward me. “Don’t hurt yourself.”
“I don’t think I can. My healing magic, remember?” She starts to wiggle again.
I growl, “Woman, you are not getting away from me tonight.”
“I’m not trying to get away, you big grump.” She laughs. “I’m just… feeling things out.”
She clenches again, making us moan in chorus as it sends an aftershock through both of us. Then she settles, her head resting on my upper arm. A tiny frown pinches her brow. “That’s weird. My healing magic says I’m hurt.”
She glances down, her fingers running over the small crescent moon tattooed over her heart, right beside the tusk mark I already left on her. “My god, what is that?” Then she reaches for me, touching my chest. “You have one, too!”
A larger crescent moon covers my heart, intricate knotwork decorating it. A pulse of her healing magic goes through me, dissipating the sting I ignored earlier.
“They’re our moon bound mate marks,” I say. “Proof the goddess has blessed our marriage.”
Selena grins, tapping my chest. “See, what did I tell you? We were meant to be.”
I capture her hand and bring it to my mouth, kissing her finger. “You were right. I was wrong, and I’ll spend the rest of my life trying to make it up to you as best I can.”
“How about this?” She snuggles closer. “For the next twenty years, you’re going to hold me when we sleep and chase away my bad dreams. You’re going to keep saving me every night.”
“What if that isn’t enough?” I stroke a hand down her back, loving the feel of her soft skin. “What if I need more than twenty years to make it up to you?”
She gives a sleepy yawn, her muscles fluttering around my knot in another burst of pleasure. “Then you’ll just have to do it for the rest of our lives.”
“Deal.” I kiss the top of her head, burying my nose in her hair and breathing her scent deep into my lungs. “Rest now, my love. I’ve got you.”
She nods, nuzzling close, her soft breath tickling over my neck as I hold her tightly.
Blissful sleep takes me soon after, locked in the sweetest embrace with the woman I love.
