I stare at her gorgeous face, pushing her hair back so I can see all of her. I gently kiss her lips.
Not wanting to wait any longer, I lift her into my arms.
“Your back, Theron,” she gasps. “No. Wait. Theron.”
“It’s Titan, my love,” my wolf says. “And my human wanted you around, which is why he pretended to be in pain. He healed a while ago. But now that you’ve agreed to be ours, I thought you should know that we’re fine.”
She gasps. “What?!”
I chuckle, taking over. “He just wants to get me in trouble, my Seren. And if he was all that honorable, he would’ve told you long ago.”
She rolls her eyes before circling her legs around my waist and kissing me, hard. With her fingers in my hair and her tongue in my mouth, I take her straight to bed, gently placing her on the mattress before tearing her clothes away.
I’m done with waiting. The smell of her arousal has been messing with my head. After quickly getting rid of my clothes, I get between her legs, desperate to taste my mate once again.
Grabbing hold of her thighs, I hold her in place and look at my mate’s beautiful insides. Her pink bud glistens as it peeks out from between her lips. The scent of lilacs is maddening. I run my nose along the length of her slit, breathing her in deeply before taking her in my mouth.
A strangled moan escapes Seren, but she grabs hold of my hair, whispering, “We don’t have much time. Leon will be back soon.”
I insert a finger into her and find her dripping, so I push in another one, stroking her quickly and urgently a few times.
As our bodies line up perfectly against each other’s, my cock pressed against her opening, she exhales a deep breath. I sense a hint of apprehension in her, so I gently kiss her eyelids, then move to her nose, her ears, and finally her lips. With a deep breath, I say something I’ve never said to anyone before.
“I love you.”
I see her breath hitch, and I repeat, “I love you with everything I have, and in ways I can’t fully explain. I want us to be together. I want you to be my luna. My mate. My life. My everything.”
Her eyes well up and I kiss her forehead, hope sparkling in me. When she remains silent, I gently blow a raspberry on her cheek, just as she does to Leon when he’s sad. Her eyes widen. The familiar gesture makes her giggle, her face lighting up instantly.
“What do you say? Will you be ours forever?”
She grins at me, her eyes shining. “I love you too. Both of you.”
Titan and I are stronger as one as we meld together. I feel him thrumming with joy, his energy intertwining with mine. The connection between us deepens with a shared purpose.
The next moment, I’m in her without any barrier between us. It feels natural, just as it always should’ve been.
I can feel Titan’s satisfaction radiating through me, his presence a comforting warmth. Together, we revel in this moment of pure bliss, knowing that our love will endure.
EPILOGUE
SEREN
Squeals follow the loud thumping of feet across the corridor.
“Can you both please be careful?” I call out, my voice a bit higher than usual. “Someone is going to get hurt.” I listen for a moment, but all I hear are giggles and guffaws.
“You get ready, my love,” Theron says playfully.
“Don’t worry, Mama, I got it,” Leon yells from the bottom of the stairs, still a few feet ahead of his father, who’s hot on his tail.
As the sound of joyous laughter echoes through our home, I know someone’s won their game. Soon there’s only one set of footsteps approaching, and I shake my head, smiling.
“Look what I got for you, Mama.” My son leans down from his father’s shoulders, one hand on Theron’s ear as he hands me a bunch of wild roses–Leon’s favorite.
“Aww, thank you, sweetheart.” I kiss his palms as I take the flowers, and he giggles.
“Mama, when is Grandpa Dan coming? I still haven’t told him about my dream,” my son asks.
