And you can hear me?

She smiled.

Yes, mate. I can hear you. What is it that you need?

He blinked.

Then, he spoke out loud.

“You. I need you,” he said, moving so they rolled into the grotto, and underneath the glowing water. There, his mouth found hers, and the kiss…

It was beyond anything.

His hands wandered, and he held her locked to his body, sure she could get away if she wanted, but she didn’t.

Cerise, instead, held on.

They sank deeper, and as they made out, they explored each other’s bodies.

I can’t believe I found you,she admitted.I’ve been looking for you for almost one hundred years.

I couldn’t love like this before you, Cerise. I tried, but no one fit. I never wanted anyone like this.

When they sank to the bottom, they both needed to breathe, so she pushed up, and they headed to the surface. When they broke it, she grabbed onto the ledge, and using her strength, she pulled them up and out, so that they were on the ledge.

They kept kissing.

Am I really with you until you die?Logan asked.

Yes. Is that what you want?

There was laughter.

More than you’ll ever know. Now, I want to mate with you,he said, using the words he found in her mind.I want to make sure I never lose what I’ve found.

You won’t.

As they rolled on the smooth warm stone, the walls adjusted giving them a place to make love.

Apparently, the lair knew best.

When they felt themselves being lifted, and the stone going soft beneath them, a mattress appeared, and they were in the middle of it.

Logan broke the kiss.

He was feeling feverish.

“I need you,” he said.

Cerise warned him.

“You’re going to feel sick in a while. My blood is changing you. We don’t have much time, but the good news is it doesn’t last long.”

He placed his fingers over her lips.

Then, let’s use it productively. I need to know what making love to you feels like. Please show me. Share that with me, mate.

Her heart skipped, and so did his.
