“Well, then why don’t you just take my virginity and be done with it?” It was an honest question, but one that made the butterflies in her stomach flutter wildly, because who better than Cillian to take her virginity? She wanted him to. He had been so gentle with her last night. Brought her so much pleasure.

She’d be with him for a year and she wanted to give that to him, because the truth of the matter was, there was no one she could really trust and why not hand it over to the wraith who was going to protect her. If there was magic in her untouched blood, she didn’t want it.

Cillian walked toward her slowly. “I do not take. I have told you this. You need to ask me.”

Her pulse was racing wildly and she licked her dry lips, certain with her decision. She didn’t want other beings like Gootch coming around. She didn’t want her blood, her innocence, to be used as a commodity any longer.

She was done with it.

“Ask.”

“Yes,” Cillian replied. “You need to ask. Are you asking me, Cali?”

She nodded. “I am asking you, Cillian. I want you to claim me. I want you to be the first.”

Cillian couldn’t believe she asked him. He scooped her up in his arms and carried her to their bedroom. His blood was rushing through his veins with anticipation. With a snap of his fingers, they were naked, both them. He could feel her tremble in his arms, hear her heart racing.

“Are you sure you want this, Cali?” Cillian asked. “Please, ask me again.”

“I want you to take my virginity, Cillian.” She kissed him tenderly. “Just be kind to me.”

“Of course, pet. Always.” He set her on the bed and went down on her again, to make her wet and ready for him. He licked her, to make her ready for him. As much as his burning lust wanted to just bury his cock inside of her tight, warm sheath, he didn’t want to hurt her.

He wanted this to last.

Besides, he liked the sweet taste of her. She began to arch her hips and he gripped them, controlling her movements because he didn’t want her to come just yet. He wanted her to come around his cock.

“Cillian, oh God.”

“Wait,” he growled possessively. He spread her legs wide, placing the tip of his cock at the entrance of her pussy. His body tense because she was so soft and wet. It was hard for him to hold back knowing he was so close to bliss.

“Please,” she begged.

“This will hurt,” Cillian warned. “It will get better. I promise you that, pet.”

“I’m okay. Please.”

He eased himself in, sinking deep into her. She was wrapped around him like a glove. “You’re so tight.”

“Fuck,” she cried out, wincing slight, but he reached down and touched her, taking away her pain as he slid fully into her, until he was buried deep in her hot, wet cunt.

This must bewhat heaven felt like. It was like home. Cali couldn’t believe the feeling of him deep inside her. He was so big. It had hurt at first, but when he touched her, the pain instantly vanished and only pleasure remained. His thumb worked her clit as he began to thrust in and out. It felt amazing being possessed by him. Her orgasm building as Cillian fucked her.

“Cillian, I’m so close,” she moaned as he quickened his pace.

“Then come,” he panted. “Come for me.”

The orgasm took her, the bed began to shake, and blinding white light overtook her. Something in her mind snapped, and all these memories came back. Hundreds of lives, sprawled over time, playing out in rapid succession. The one constant was Cillian. He was always there, always crushed after every time she was taken from him. Then man she’d always loved.

Cillian came as her vision returned. He stilled as his hot seed filled her.

Tears stung her eyes as she looked up at him, knowing him for the first time, but not really. She’d known him all along.

“Cali? Did I hurt you?” He bent over her, a worried expression etched on her face.

“No,” she whispered, touching his face. “It’s you.”
