He surged forward, groaning as he thrust into her body. Her soft cries were music to his ears as he slowly, but deeply took her. She met his forward push with a backwards one of her own and soon the writhing of her lithe little body made him hunger for more. Harder. Faster. Deeper. He wanted all she had to give him. He wanted to give her all he had to give.

Lifting her leg, he slid down to give himself better leverage and began to thrust in earnest. The sharp, staccato rhythm of flesh slapping flesh was punctuated by her cries of pleasure with each smack. He knew he wouldn’t last long, but he wanted all of her. His body and his link as her mate demanded it. He knew she was on the edge and would soon find her own release, but not yet. He stopped and pulled out.

“Wha -- Kahn, why did you stop? I need…” She was struggling to turn over. She wanted to mount him and bring release to them both, he knew.

“Hold still,tarae.” He pulled his cock back just a little to the entrance of her ass and pushed slightly.

“Kahn. I’m not sure about this.”

“Just relax. You know I’ll make it pleasurable for you.” He kissed her cheek and whispered, “Trust me.”

She relaxed immediately and turned her head to smile at him.

“Push outward with your muscles. Push against me and it will be easier for me to get inside you.”

Anna did as he asked and he slowly entered her. He knew he caused her some discomfort, but he also knew he made her hot. She was even more eager than before, if that was possible.

“That’s it. Let me fuck your sweet ass, just like you wanted it.”

“I did offer, didn’t I?”

Kahn chuckled. Once he had worked himself all the way inside her, his balls resting against her upper thighs, he reached around her and pulled her back to him by her breasts.

“Now. I fuck you.”

And he did. What started as something slow and gratifying turned almost savage in its intensity. Kahn surged into her again and again until sweat slickened his chest and back and ran down his temples.

Anna desperately sought leverage so she could meet him thrust for thrust. Finally, she blindly grabbed his hip and found what she needed.

Their lust was mutual. Each felt the need of the other and it only increased as they reached their climax.

Anna came first. She screamed and bucked, digging her nails into Kahn’s firm ass as she pulled him to her. Kahn’s cock pistoned rapidly until his own orgasm exploded from him in great spurts. He held her, his cock still buried, until the last of his seed was spent.

They lay like that for a time, catching their breath. Then a soft chime interrupted their peaceful afterglow.

“General. There is a problem. You and Ms. Garrett are to report to the Temple Beyond immediately.”

Kahn froze. “Explain,” he barked.

“Mikkril’s son.”

Fucking damnation! The little bastard was going to try to avenge his father.Of all the idiotic things!

“I would speak with Kazar before this.”

“Not possible, General. He has already entered the Temple Beyond.”

“What is it?” Anna asked tentatively.

“Mikkril’s son, Kazar, is questioning our union. He shares his father’s prejudice. He will not want you in a position to be queen so he seeks to discredit both of us.”

“Maybe you’d better explain this a little better.”

Kahn helped her to her feet, straightening their clothing, then ushered her out the door. He took her to a transportation unit that would take them across the continent to the Temple. Once they were seated and the unit was moving, he began to speak.

“Within the Temple Beyond lies the Chamber of Souls. When a challenge of mates is made, the couple and the challenger enter the chamber. If the couple are true mates, the souls rejoice and the Temple is filled with an amber light as witness to their happiness.” Kahn looked at the rapidly moving scenery, obviously not liking what came next. “The energy needed to do this is drawn from any life within the chamber. The only way to survive is to be joined physically with a mate. Under normal circumstances, the challenger would appear to age a few years at most. But the stronger the connection between mates, the more energy the waiting souls will draw.”

“Hm. Sounds a bit dangerous,” Anna commented.
