I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm my trembling body.

“Keep your eyes closed, Livvy,” he whispered as he closed the distance between us. I couldn’t have moved if I’d wanted to. I was rooted to the spot, knowing damn well what he was. WhatIwas. What we’d been. And hating every single thing that had transpired over the years. We didn’t deserve this. It truly was hell.

He placed his palm against my cheek, his thumb rubbing back and forth across my lips tenderly. “Listen to my voice, Livvy. I love you. I’ve always loved you. And you used to love me. What I am now, it’s because of our love. I’ve been turned into a monsterbecauseof my love for you. I kept moving forward, despite how much I hated myself, foryou. Everything I’ve done for two hundred years, I’ve done for you. When I was with those women, it was you on my mind. I made myself believe in something bigger just to get through it.”

A tear slipped from my eye at his words, my heart aching for him. For us.

“Now tell me, can you love the man beneath the monster? Can you see past the curse? Do you love me, Livvy?”

Of course, I loved him. I knew from the moment he’d entered my dream that he was mine and I was his. I knew we were bigger than the dream. We were more. I nodded my head as more tears leaked from my closed eyes. “Yes, I love you.” I sniffled, hating the devil and vowing to take him out if ever given the chance. He did this to us. I didn’t need to remember everything to know I hated that creature with every ounce of my being. I knew in my heart Van was speaking the truth. I only wished I’d have given him the chance to explain it earlier. It would’ve saved me some serious heartbreak. “I forgive you, Van. I’m so sorry I ever doubted you. Can you forgive me for walking away when I should’ve stayed and listened?”

“Oh, Livvy,” he breathed out, his fingers in my hair. “There’s nothing to forgive, baby.” His words against my lips caused me to collapse fully in his arms, wanting whatever came with him, curse and all. Opening my mouth, I let him in.

To hell with it.

Her tongue slid into my mouth as she deepened the kiss. My eyes fluttered closed, unable to hold back the flood of emotion she was bringing on. My chest swelled, and I swore my heart tried to beat again.

When I lifted her against me, her legs wrapped around my hips, and I carried her to my bed. As I lay her down, I broke the kiss. “We have to hurry. The devil knows about us. He’s going to try and stop us. We have to break this curse if we ever want to be together.”

Her green eyes were wide with fear and tears, but she nodded. “I love you, Van. I want you for the rest of my life. I don’t see a monster when I look at you. All I see is a man who loves only me, who only wants to be with me.”

“You’re it for me, Livvy. Ineverwant another woman as long as I exist on Earth or in Hell. You’re mine. Forever.” I pressed my lips to hers once again, devouring her mouth, body, and the love she was so willing to give me.

My hands traveled up her body, pushing her shirt up her chest until I could pull it off and throw it in the floor. Her hands tangled in my hair as I kissed my way down her jaw, neck, and over to the swell of her beautiful, full breasts. My hands cupped them and pushed them together while I kissed, licked, and nibbled on them. Slowly, I worked her bra off her shoulders and tore it from her body, earning a loud moan from her lips.

“You’re so fucking beautiful, baby. You have no idea how much I’ve missed you. Missed us,” I groaned against her skin as my mouth continued to move down her body. Each kiss I planted on her sweet body was a nod to my devotion and love for her. “Ionlywant you, Olivia. I’ve dreamed of this day for centuries. Imagining being with you again… it’s the only thing that’s kept me going all these years.” I worked her shorts down her long legs, and she kicked them to the floor.

Sitting up, she unfastened my jeans then pushed the waistband down my hips, and I sprang free, hard and standing at attention. “I love you, Van. I’m yours,” she whispered as she got to her knees and pressed her mouth to mine.

She pushed against my chest until I was falling. She coaxed me onto my back on the bed. Her hot mouth kissed lower and lower. And just when I thought she was going to stop, her hand gripped my cock as she wrapped her lips around me. Her hot mouth sucked me hard, taking me deeper and deeper. I couldn’t form words. My mouth hung open, unable to speak as my hands fisted my own hair, pulling and tugging, trying to hold back the release that was already building.

Every muscle in my body hardened, preparing for release. But she didn’t stop, and I didn’t have the willpower to make her. She slid me farther and farther into her mouth, sucking more vigorously with every inch. One hand massaged my balls, while the other squeezed my thigh with her nails digging into my flesh.

I let out a moan as my release rose to the surface, the tingling in my body making me writhe with pleasure. Hastily, I eased her off my cock, not wanting to spill myself into her mouth. I had a very special place I wanted to put that.

When she pulled away, her lips were red, swollen, and glistening. Her emerald eyes were like a raging fire that couldn’t be stopped. Just looking at her,myqueen, made me grow harder. Painfully hard.

“I fucking love you, Livvy,” I whispered as I got myself to my knees and pressed my mouth to hers forcefully. I could taste a hint of myself on her tongue as it twisted with my own, and it made me want to beg for entrance. I needed to be inside her.I needed to be home. It had been so long. I was desperate. My home, my heaven was mere inches away. Just begging me to enter and claim my queen once again.

Gently, I lay her back and took my place between her parted legs. My dick was hard and aching. It slid between her slick folds with ease. I rocked my hips back and forth, teasing both of us and spreading her arousal.

“I love you too, Van. Please, take me. Claim me. Make everything go away.” The tone in her voice was edged with need and desire — begging me to slide deeply inside her and never leave.

I pressed my mouth to hers one last time, my hands touching her every inch, memorizing her every curve as I positioned myself at her entrance.

“Are you sure about this, Livvy?” I asked, feeling breathless, holding myself back from plunging head first into her heat.

“I’ve never been more certain of anything in my life, Van. Ineedyou inside me. Please, claim me and don’t ever stop. I don’t care what happens. Don’t let him take me away from you ever again.”

My mouth smashed against hers as my hips rocked forward, sliding inside her hot, tight pussy. Finally, I was home.

It was like I’d never left. She still fit perfectly around me, like she was made for me.

“I love you, baby. I love you so much,” I whispered over and over, peppering her face and neck with hot kisses. She groaned beneath me, her hips rising to meet mine in rhythm. My hands were on her body, touching and memorizing everything about the moment.
