Page 27 of Hunting for Redemption

“Jeff,” I say with a little giggle. “Your family can’t even smell this. They’re human.”

Jeff shrugs. “I don’t care. Let me have this.”

I pull him into a kiss, smiling against his lips. “You can have this. You can have all of me.”

“Promise?”

“Of course,” I murmur, kissing him again. I’m talking around the one point I want him to know and in this moment, after coming so hard I saw stars, with Jeff still rubbing his cum into my skin, I can’t stop myself from blurting it out. “I’m your true mate. I’m not going anywhere. Plus, I love you.”

Jeff’s hand stills. His eyes are wide as they meet mine. “You love me?”

I nod my head slowly, my chest clenching. “I do. You’re everything I’ve always wanted in a partner. You make me want to explore and try new things. You’re so strong and so loyal. And you’re good, Jeff. You do so much good for our world. Plus you’ve given me a family with your crew.” I kiss him one more time just to solidify my points. “I love you, Jeff.”

Jeff’s eyes are huge, hanging on every single one of my words. Finally, he lets out a long breath. “I don’t feel like I deserve you.”

“You do. You deserve all of me just like I deserve all of you.”

This time it’s Jeff who initiates the kiss. His tongue touches my own, the kiss fierce as he pours his love into the kiss. When he pulls back, he gently runs his nose over mine. “I love you too. I’m doing my best to believe that I deserve this, but it’s hard. I feel like I have so much to redeem myself for still.”

“You can keep hunting for redemption if you feel the need to, but I’m here to remind you that you’re good. The sins of your past don’t define you, Jeff. You define who you are. And I love who you are.”

Jeff pulls me until we’re pressed together, holding each other tight. He kisses the top of my head as my lids grow heavy and my limbs all go limp, the orgasm catching up to me.

“I love you so much,” he whispers into my hair, and it’s the last thing I hear before I fall asleep.
