“I want to be yours, always.”
“You will always be mine.”His mental voice rings with conviction.“The stars can fall from the sky, and you will still be mine. A million suns can shine, and they will not rival the warmth and light you bring to my life. I love you with all that I am or ever will be. I’ll love you forever.”
“Aldronn,” I gasp. “I love you.”
I whisper it into his skin, kissing his chest over and over as the emotion flows between us.
“I love you, May.”
Then we’re lost to sensation, two bodies moving as one. The intoxicating press of his weight on top of me, overwhelming me, combines with his feeling of primal satisfaction that I’m small and underneath him, that my legs grip him tightly.
I experience the pleasure of him burying himself in my wet heat at the same time I feel how deliciously full he stretches me. I send back the delight that fizzes in my veins as his stud vibrates over my clit, as his piercings tease my inner walls.
He groans. “Goddess, the things you do to me.”
I can only cling to him and nod as the tingling warmth builds, brushing my lips over his skin, the salt of his clean sweat teasing my tongue.
“I can’t hold out much longer,” he growls, his hips speeding up. The tingling at the base of his cock grows urgent, sparking a similar tingling in my core.
I squirm against him, wanting his knot even though I can’t imagine him being any bigger than he already is.
“Come for me,” he commands, his hips snapping forward. “Come for me, my queen.”
He buries himself deep, his stud buzzing over my sensitive nub until I’m shaking with pleasure. Tingling warmth bursts into fire, burning through me and setting my nerves ablaze with sensation.
Aldronn roars, his own orgasm blasting across my senses like a supernova, kicking my own pleasure even higher.
We climax together, pulses of delight reverberating between us. Heat sears my chest. Then his knot swells in another bolt of sharp pleasure, filling me so full, I realize I’ve never been truly satisfied in my life. Until now.
Until him.
It’s far more than his knot—it’s the love that flows through our mental connection and the mate bond that solidifies between us, reinforcing the emotional bond we already share.
“I feel you everywhere.”My words echo between us.
“You are my everything,”Aldronn says.
He lifts up enough that he can look down at me, and a dark mark on his chest catches my eye. A crescent moon filled with an interlocking design covers his heart. “What’s this?”
“It’s a moon bound mate mark. It means the Moon Goddess—Titania—blesses our union.” His fingers brush over my chest in a little nip of pain. “You have one, too.”
I glance down. A solid crescent moon tattoo decorates my skin. “I like it because it links me to you, not because of her.”
“She brought us together,” he says. “Even if it was for her own purposes, she still gave me the best gift of my life when she summoned me to find you.”
“You’re right.” I cup his cheek. “I can thank her for that.”
Then magic plucks at his nerves, shivering through me until I gasp.
“Oh. My. God. What was that?”
“My premonition magic.” He stares at me, a look of awe on his face. His fingers tighten on my hip. “Can you tell what it was?”
“It was…” I bite my lip, trying to parse the intense feeling of joy, offuture. Finally, I shake my head. “It was the loveliest of feelings, but I can’t make it out.”
“It was the strongest premonition I’ve ever had,” he says, his voice husky with emotion. “It was about our child, a little girl. We name her Hope.”
“Hope!” Tears well, running down my cheeks, and I can’t stop smiling. “That’s my mom’s name.”
