Love.
Acceptance.
That’s all she’d ever wanted in her life, though she’d spent most of her time trying to bury that unrealistic longing.
In this place, somewhere outside of the reality they lived in, everything she felt was real.Everything that was in her heart, was real.It was all that mattered.
“For all time, Magnus.”She took up his large hand and pressed his palm to her heart, and whispered.“Foralltime.”
He pressed her palm first to his nose and lips, inhaling her scent, then to his heart, echoing her words.“I choose you for all time, Ana.”
She brushed the tip of her nose across his.
He brushed his lips across hers.
They released each other’s hands, and she reached for his face to deepen their kiss, while his arms wrapped around her waist and hips, pulling her impossibly close.He was naked beneath her, and his arousal was unmistakable.
She broke the kiss with a gasp, “Magnus, we’re not alone—.”Looking around the cave, the bear was gone.
They were indeed alone.
She looked into his eyes.
“Mate,” she whispered.Instinct told her that this would be more binding than anything she’d ever committed to in her life.
“Do you want to finish this?”
“I want nothing more than to finish this,” she said, quickly removing her clothes as a sense of impending urgency took over.
Undressing, here, was an act of deliberation in a place where they didn’t actually have physical bodies.
They were all energy, co-mingling in this astral place—wherever it was.
All sensation and knowing and needing.
She resumed her place, straddling his thighs.
He slid an arm around her hips, pulling her close so that he could trail his lips over her heart.
She shuddered against the overwhelming sensation of emotion his tenderness elicited in her.
She slid her fiery core along his steely erection, then angled her hips so that his tip waited at her entrance.
Magnus claimed her lips, swiping his tongue along hers, teasing and enticing.
She moaned as need spiked through her.A need only Magnus could fulfill.
Ready, she drew him in, easing down his length.
Their breaths mingled as he filled her so that his tip rested against her sweet spot.Her toes curled against the intense pleasure.
Magnus grazed his teeth along the column of her throat, inhaling her scent and nibbling the tender skin until he reached the crook of her shoulder.With his forearm still encircling her hips, he pressed her down even further.
His breath hitched as he pulsed inside her.
She moaned his name as her hips tilted forward, then slid back.
Leaning against the support of his arm, she arched so that he had access to her breasts.As his mouth fastened on first one nipple and then the other, she rode him faster, harder still.
