And I kissed him back with the same fervor.
Between my thighs, I felt his hips tilt back. His cock dragged against my walls, the delicious slide of his retreat, making my eyes roll back in my head and my scalp tingle.
And when he pushed back into me? With a teeth-clattering thrust that had me seeing stars?
I screamed in pleasure, feeling the prick of my orgasm come on fast and hard.
Chapter

DROXAN
My fated mate—myluxiva—was incredibly tight.
Tight and hot and slick and needy.
Vrax.
I worried that I hurt her but my hard thrusts only had her clawing down my back. I felt the subtle rocking of her own hips trying to match my merciless rhythm.
I was all out of sorts.
Even I could see that.
My awakened Instinct was a mess of wild emotions.
Therightnessof claiming my mate for the first time.
The hot desire that made me feel like a rutting beast between her thighs. I thought that I would kill anything that came close to her, those feral instincts surprising.
The knowledge that my mate hadnearlybeen impregnated with another male’s seed. The rage and sinking dread and jealousy I felt at the prospect. Of another male laying claim tomymate and the child that she would give him.
That alone told me how deep I already was for her.
That alone told me that I’d been avraxingfool to try to fight against an ancient Instinct that ran through my race’s blood, blessed by the Fates themselves.
Did I think that I could go againstfate? My destiny?
Nix.
Shewas my destiny.
I only needed to prove that to her. Because I was done fighting this. She was mine. I was hers. And if she still wanted to leave Ullima, I would follow her. I would move to Wero and properly court her until she accepted me as hers, until she letmeplant a child deep in her womb, until she letmebe the mate and the provider and the protector that she and our family needed.
Relief soared through me.
Because we didn’t only have this short span of time anymore. I would follow her wherever she wanted to go. I would leave Ullima behind if she asked it of me.
Because only Lyra mattered now.
Her happiness. And since my own happiness was now tied to hers…I would do everything I could to give her whatever she wanted.
Her orgasm broke through the haze in my mind and I quickened my thrusts, feeling her clenching and pulsing around my cock. Trying to draw out my seed? When I could not give into those instincts?
Not yet, I vowed.
That didn’t mean I couldn’t fantasize about it. About shooting my come deep into her, of imagining her heavy withmychild.Ourchild.
