Had she ever done this before? If she hadn’t had an orgasm, he doubted she masturbated. From here on out she would be making up for lost time on that front. If he had his way, she’d make herself come while he watched at least twice a day.

He loved this shy virginal side of her. It made him feel like he was the only man she’d ever been with. By the time they made their mating official, he would have fucked her and made her come so much, she wouldn’t remember anyone else she’d ever had sex with.

Her shy swipes across her clit became more confident as she figured out what felt good to her.

He knew she wasn’t comfortable doing this for him, and he would dominate her again, take away her worries by making them his own. Right now, he wanted her to understand her own pleasure, her own body.

“Ky, it’s too much. I…I’m coming.”

“Yes, my love, come on my cock, let me see it, feel it.”

Yeah, he wanted to feel her pussy walls clench down on him, and see those spasms shake her clit, but she lifted her head and stared into his eyes as she came, and he couldn’t look away. They connected, with his soul touching hers. Her precious heart was open and out for him, all of her feelings and emotions in her eyes. He’d never seen anything more erotic and more gorgeous, ever.

His own orgasm slammed into him and he jerked, his muscles taking over as he lost his rhythm and poured his seed into her.

“Fuck, Jada. I love you.”

They were both silent for long minutes after it was over. Jada floated in the water and Ky slipped from the grip she had on him with her thighs and drifted next to her, letting the water wash over them both. Looking for some peace.

“Ky?”

“Yeah, baby?”

“Do you?”

He wasn’t going to pretend he didn’t know what she was asking. He could play this all nonchalant, stare up at the sky and tell her he loved her. Not seeing her reaction to the words, hiding his own hurt.

He was no god-damned coward.

He stood again and pulled her into his arms. He used his power over the element to push them back to shore and laid her in the tall grass, only the water lapping at their feet.

Their lovemaking in the water hadn’t been anything like he’d expected. He’d needed her so badly that it might have been nothing more than rough fucking.

It had been, was, so much more.

The muscles in Ky’s chest squeezed, trying to protect his heart. He kept his life in order, served and protected the world from evil and plague by not caring enough about anyone or anything else. He had one purpose on this earth, and the gods, or the First Dragon, or maybe his own forsaken soul had decided he would not have a mate.

Fine. Didn’t matter. He was happy as he was.

Until her. Jada changed everything.

Ky swallowed the namby-pamby rush of anxiety swirling in his throat and searched for the right words.

“Jada. I know it’s too soon. We’ve only just met, but that doesn’t matter to me. But I am in love with you. You’re smart, fearless when it counts, and vulnerable when you don’t want to be, but need to be. You’re gorgeous and funny, and I’m not sure how I would ever not be in love with you.”

He ripped the soul shard from his neck and pressed it to her skin, not because he was supposed to, but because she already owned his soul. “Take me,aroha. Take all of me. You have my heart, my mind, and my body already. Take my soul and make it your own.”

She clasped her hand over his and stilled, pain written on her face. “I have nothing to give you in return. I am nothing.”

No. Ky’s psyche rejected that statement absolutely outright. How could she not see all that she was, not only to him, but the inherent worth in herself?

He wrapped his hand around the back of her neck making sure she couldn’t look away. Searching for that connection he’d seen in her eyes. “You are everything. I wish you could see yourself through my eyes. I swear to you I will do everything in my power to make you feel how special and important you are to me.”

She shook her head but didn’t break his gaze.

“Give me your love, your trust, Jada. What you are is enough. Always.”

She swallowed, and her eyes shimmered with tears. “I didn’t mean to…I didn’t know I needed you, that there was this empty part of me, until you showed up. You already have my love, Ky Puru. I think I fell in love with you somewhere between the moment I saw you in the donut shop and that very first kiss. How can that be?”
