His words from before, ‘we plan to claim you this night,’ now made sense.

Kai wanted to fight against it.She wanted to yell at Aodh to stop or pull out.But as Aodh continued to move and the augmented appendage within his cock went deeper into her womb, something similar to an endorphins rush spread from her core and laced her blood.The pain she felt at the entry dissipated, and now a feeling of euphoric pleasure filled her veins.

Moans began to fall from her lips.Where her hands had once pushed against Aodh’s large body, she was now gripping his sides, pulling him closer.

She lost track of how long they stayed like that, slowly grinding their sexes together.Neither did she care when the first orgasm arrested her.Before it ended, it spun into another, and another, and another.

Whimpers and moans tumbled from her mouth when she wasn’t pleading for more.Until Aodh came, and a heat filled her womb so great that it went through her limbs, warming her all over.Her climax that followed took her out and buried her in darkness.

“I’m here...”Aodh’s rough, deep voice brought her back.

Unsure of how long she had been out, Kai discovered herself curled into his side with his arms wrapped around her.One of his hands sank into her wild curls while his other caressed up and down her back.

“I’m here, little flame.”

“Aodh?”her voice sounded hoarse to her ears, her throat felt sore and overused.Even though she had just been out, she felt tired and desired sleep.

“Yes, mate.”He rolled her to her back but kept his warmth close as he stretched out beside her.He rested his head on his fist and stared at her as his other hand idly drew designs along her side.

She swallowed and licked her lips, trying to moisten her parched mouth.She traveled her gaze down Aodh’s naked form, taking in all his detailed markings, now black without illumination.When she got to his cock, still semi-erect and imposing where it rested on her hip, she didn’t see anything abnormal.It appeared as it always did, glorious and hulking with the tiny berry-colored bead in the tip, nothing to explain what had transpired inside her.She glanced back up.“Is it done?”

As if he knew what she was asking, he nodded.His hand at her waist moved up, brushing the underside of her breast before stopping at her heart.“Yes, little flame.You are truly my mate now.”

Joy unspeakable filled her.Lifting a hand, she ran her fingers along his sculpted lips.“I’m glad, Mckenna.”

A flame flashed in his eyes but went away as fast.

She lowered her hand back to the bed and sighed.Closing her eyes, she wanted nothing more than sleep.It had been a long damn day.

He seemed content to stare at her; she was content enough to let him.

Lazily, Aodh trailed his fingers from her breasts to the soft curve of her belly.His muscular, blunt tips glided over her skin in a circular motion.She hissed when he paused momentarily and then slowly dragged one finger down.

She didn’t know how to describe the tingling sensation of the area, but it was oddly sensitive, too.Kai rose on her elbows and glanced down and expected to see a blister or reddened skin of a burn mark, believing she’d been too far gone in pleasure, and Aodh had accidentally let his flame scald her.However, she saw an ebony-colored mark resembling a single scale that sat two inches below her navel and right above her mons.

“What the hell?”
