Page 79 of When the Angel Falls First

Josie wound herself around me like a vine, locking her heels behind my back. I let both of my hands roam up her back, stopping at the band of the sports bra, teasing the sensitive skin over her spine.

She tugged at my hair, impatient for me to get on with it. Between one heartbeat and the next, I had all of our clothes off of us, and deposited them in the bedroom at my house. She gasped against my lips at the feeling of all of our skin, suddenly bare. She was smooth, soft perfection from head to toe, and I let my head fall back at the sensation.

“My Chosen, my perfect Chosen.” I let my hands slip down and cup the soft globes of her ass, kneading the flesh beneath my fingertips.

Now, it was her turn to moan and drop her forehead to my shoulder. I could feel the wet head of her center pressed against my abs, and I couldn’t wait to taste her again.

I dropped kisses down the column of her throat. “Do you trust me?” I murmured against her collarbone.

“With my life,” she answered.

I may as well have been struck by lightning, the way her words affected me. I was thrumming with need for her, and my desire to take things slow evaporated in an instant.

“Lie back. My power will hold you.” She didn’t even hesitate, leaning back and letting her hands skate down my sides to rest on her thighs. Her hair floated around her like a curly halo, and the sight was sheer perfection. I was harder than steel and dying to sink into her tight heat.

With all of her on display for me, I let my lips and tongue tease every bit of available skin. I cupped her breasts, teasing first one side and then the other with my tongue until she started grinding against me, using her heels to pull me tighter and tighter against her center.

“Somebody is impatient.”

“I’ve been waitingseven years, Caleb. I’m still a little afraid you’re going to disappear.” Her eyes were closed, head dipped back in bliss, but I couldn’t let that stand.

I dragged her up flush against my chest. Her nipples were hard peaks, chafing against my chest and driving me to distraction. But this was important. She had to know everything.

“Look at me, Josie.”

She bit her bottom lip between her teeth and looked up at me under her eyelashes. Her aura was tinged with vulnerability, and I knew every word I said next was important.

Fuck, I never want her to stop looking at me like that.

“I’mneverleaving you again. My power is going to bind us together permanently.”

Josie nodded, but I knew that little worry line between her eyebrows was only getting erased in one way. She’d feel it when the seal locked into place, and she’d know.

I kissed her, hard and fast on the lips, and then urged her to lean back again. Once she was sprawled back out, I unlocked her feet and lifted her hips until her core was even with my face. Her thighs trembled as I hooked them over my shoulders, but she cried out in pleasure as soon as my lips met her pussy.

I feasted on her, licking and sucking and kissing straight through her screams of pleasure as first one orgasm, then another rolled through her. I didn’t stop until her hands landed on mine, where I held her hips.

“Caleb, I can’t take any more. Please. I need you. Please, please—” She moaned again as I pointedly worked her clit with the flat of my tongue.

And then she unraveled again, screaming her bliss and arching against my hold as her honey dripped down my chin. I held her hands as she rode out the orgasm, and then let her slowly sink back down my body.

When our foreheads were touching I held her there, wrapped in my arms. Her eyes were glazed as she pressed little kisses to my cheeks.

“Why did you stop?” she asked, wiggling her hips against me.

“Are you ready? Once we complete the binding, it can’t be undone, not for any reason. It’s forever.”

She gripped my chin, her eyes clearing as she looked into mine. “I’m sure. No more stalling, Caleb.” Without waiting for my answer, she leaned down and nipped my bottom lip.

I lowered her the last bit, the blunt head of my cock meeting her slippery folds. She arched her back, and I let her take control as she guided herself down onto me. She slowly took me, inch by inch, and my power turned golden in the air around us.

When I was fully seated inside her, she clung to me, breathing hard as she took a moment to adjust. Her palms pressed tightly against my shoulder blades, as if even now she was afraid I was going to disappear.

“Look at me, Josie,” I urged as the pleasure tore through me like a living thing.

When her eyes fluttered up to mine, I began to move, slowly at first. Long strokes in and out, holding her gaze the entire time. She pumped her hips in time with mine, crashing into me faster and faster as the power spiraled higher around us, in a beautiful golden cascade.

“Are you ready?”
