Gideon thrust harder with each swipe of his tongue. “Claim me,” he whispered.

There was no holding back. Her teeth clamped down on his shoulder, and an orgasm rushed through her body. Gideon’s magic filled the room. They started to float above the bed, but Gideon kept thrusting until he went over the edge, and the magic disappeared. The dull ache in her heart was gone.

“Can we do that again?” Diem asked.

Gideon rolled over onto his back and pulled her to his side. “We can do that as much as you want for the rest of our lives.”

She touched the eternity symbol on his chest. She would live forever. It should scare her, but knowing Gideon would be by her side for all of it, she couldn’t wait for what the next hundred years brought them. He ran his hand down her side and traced her scar.

“Can you tell me what you’ve been working on?” she asked.

Gideon let out a sigh. “We should have talked about it before we bonded, but there is no going back, and I don’t regret anything. After we got you out of the lab, my memories came back. And one of them was about your mom.”

Diem hadn’t even considered the possibility that her mom might still be alive. She figured Kia or Kirin would have said something to her. “Is she still alive?”

“Yes, but years ago, I helped her hide and erased her memory.”

“I’m happy she’s alive.”

“I don’t know how I got so lucky. I’m sorry I erased her memory, but I wanted you to meet your mom. So for the past few weeks, I’ve been working with her. And yesterday, she finally got her memories back, and she wants to meet you.”

She was the luckiest woman alive to have found Gideon as her mate. “I love you so much.”

“You’re not mad at me, angel?”

“Of course not. Next time, we’ll work these things out as a team. I thought you didn’t want to be with me any longer.”

Gideon spent the rest of the night making love to her.
