I turn to Lila, her eyes reflecting the moonlight, shimmering with a mix of nerves and anticipation. My heart swells as I reach out, gently cupping her cheek. Her skin is soft, warm, and I can feel the faint tremor of her pulse beneath my touch.

"Lila," I whisper, my voice barely audible over the rustling leaves. "I want to make love to you. Here, under the moon, where it all feels right."

Her breath hitches, and I can see the struggle in her eyes—the hesitation. But I also see the trust, the love that's blossoming between us, stronger than any doubt.

"Axel," she breathes, her voice a soft caress against my senses. "I...I want that too. I want you."

"You're mine, Lila," I say, my voice rough with emotion. "Mine to love, mine to protect. Forever."

She nods, her eyes filled with tears, her voice choked with emotion. "Yours, Axel. Always yours."

A low growl rumbles in my chest, a primal sound that echoes the depth of my need. I lean in, capturing her lips in a slow, sensual kiss. Her mouth is sweet, welcoming, and I take my time, exploring every curve, every soft moan that escapes her.

My hands trail down her body, tracing the lines of her shoulders, her waist, her hips. She shivers under my touch, her breaths coming faster, matching the rhythm of my own. I can feel the heat building between us, the bond pulling us closer, urging us to complete what fate has started.

"You're so beautiful, Lila," I murmur against her skin, my lips trailing down her neck, tasting the salt of her sweat, the sweetness of her scent. "Every inch of you is perfect."

She lets out a soft gasp as I cup her breast, my thumb brushing against her nipple through the thin fabric of her shirt. Her back arches, pressing her closer to me, and I can feel the hardening of her nipple, the quickening of her breath.

"Axel," she moans, her hands gripping my shoulders, her nails digging into my skin. "Please...don't stop."

I smile against her skin, my hands moving lower, unbuttoning her jeans, sliding them down her hips. She kicks them off, standing before me in her underwear, her body bathed in the moonlight. She's a vision, a goddess, and I can't help but stare, my breath caught in my throat.

I slide my hands up Lila's curves, savoring the feel of her soft skin beneath my fingertips. "Fuck, Lila," I growl, my voice thick with desire. "You drive me wild."

She arches into my touch, a breathy moan escaping her lips. "Axel, please...I need you."

Slowly, I peel off Lila's underwear, the scent of her arousal fills my nostrils, making my mouth water.

"You're so wet for me, aren't you, Vanilla Bean?" I rumble, trailing my fingers up her thigh. She whimpers and nods, her eyes dark with lust.

A low growl escapes my lips when she unbuckles my belt and starts to lower my pants along with my boxers. My erection springs free of its confinement, finally free to breathe and ready.

As the last of our clothes fall away, I take a moment to just look at her, to drink in her beauty. Lila's eyes are hooded, her lips swollen from our kisses, her body laid out before me like an offering. I lean down, my lips finding the sensitive spot where her neck meets her shoulder. I kiss her there, my tongue swirling over her pulse point, feeling her heartbeat against my lips.

I settle between her legs, pressing soft kisses along her inner thighs. Lila tangles her fingers in my hair, guiding me closer to where she needs me most.

"Oh god, Axel, yes!" She cries out, her hips bucking against me.

Lila comes apart beneath me, her body shaking with the force of her orgasm. I work her through it, lapping at her essence until she's a trembling, satisfied mess.

"I love you so damn much," I murmur, kissing my way up her body until I capture her lips with mine.

She cups my face, her eyes shining with emotion. "I love you too, Axel. More than anything."

I kiss her deeply, my hands exploring her body, learning every curve, every secret. She responds in kind, her hands roaming over my chest, my back, her nails leaving trails of fire in their wake.

I line myself up at her entrance. "Are you ready for me, Lila?" I ask, my voice strained with the effort of holding back.

"Yes, Axel. Make me yours," she breathes, wrapping her legs around my waist.

When I finally enter her, it's with a slow, deliberate thrust, my eyes locked on hers. She gasps, her body tensing for a moment before relaxing, welcoming me in. The sensation is overwhelming, the heat of her, the tightness, the way her body fits perfectly against mine.

With a slow, deliberate thrust, I sink into her welcoming body. We both groan at the intensity of our joining. I start to move, rolling my hips in a steady rhythm that has Lila clutching at my shoulders.

"Fuck, you feel incredible," I pant, burying my face in the crook of her neck. "So tight and perfect."

She squeezes her legs around me, pulling me deeper, her hips meeting mine thrust for thrust.
