He laughs again, fingers digging into my ass cheeks.

“So soon you want to be mated to me?”

“What? We aren’t yet?” I ask, looking over my shoulder at pure darkness.

“Not until I come.”

“Then come already!” I call out.

Nyx growls ferociously, nails biting my skin as he pulls me into him while slamming into me. I didn’t think anyone would be capable of fucking so hard, but I swear I feel him in my throat.

“You want my come? I will give it to you, Ethan.”

“Yes!” I call out. “I do. I want it. Come in me. Mate me!”

He growls again, hips slapping against mine one more time before he freezes and roars out his release. His dick pumps so hard I feel each pulse and his come is so hot I feel it squirting inside me. Something in my chest warms and then my heart is aching. I turn to look at him, but he puts his hand on my shoulder, stopping me.

“Are you prepared for this?” he asks.

“I don’t know,” I answer honestly.

“There is no going back now.”

“I understand.”

His hand falls from my back. I swallow and take a breath before looking over my shoulder. My jaw drops at what I see. I had this image of what he looked like in my head, but he’s bigger and taller than I ever could have imagined. He’s made of dark shadows and navy-blue swirls. Easily three times my size. He’s like a bear turned human… or human-like, I guess.

He pulls out of me, and his come gushes out. He gets to his feet and stands at his full height, his head almost brushing the ceiling.

“Fuck,” I breathe out, turning over to look at him. “You’re huge.”

“My kind is big.”

“I’ll say.”

Still, there’s no fear in my body, nothing telling me to be scared. But that warmth is still there in my chest and there’s something pulling me to him. I get to my feet and crane my head back to look up at him.

“We’re going to need a bigger bed.”

He smirks, and then right before my eyes, he shrinks until he’s slightly taller than me.

“No need,” he says, hand coming up to grip my chin. “I can change the way I look. Now that you can see me for who I am, you have given me the ability to change.”

“How does that work?”

“I do not know. Magic.” He shrugs.

“So, you need your mate to see you before you can shift?”

He nods. “You must see the true me before I can change how I look. And also…” He steps back, going toward the door and flicking on the light. “I can be seen in the light now.”

My jaw drops when I take him in. He still looks like he’s made of shadows, but I see more swirls on his skin, some of them shimmering in the light. His hair is thick and long, like a warrior’s. He has all the same features on his face as a human, only everything is black.

“You’re… beautiful,” I breathe out, going to him and pressing my hand to his chest.

“Madame Zella promised you would get all you desire. Do you think she was right?”

I sigh, smiling up at him. “She sure as hell was.”
