He wanted her.
No, want was too simple a word to describe what he felt for her.
What he felt for her was a desperate hunger for her that he would never be free of. It was an endless yearning that could never be sated and would only grow stronger with each passing day.
But he didn’t want to be free.
He wanted to be chained to her, bound for all eternity so they would never be separated.
The mating bond between them was all-consuming. Fate might have brought them together, but it wasn’t what made him love her. All it had taken for that to happen was for him to catch a glimpse inside her mind and heart. He loved who she was, not what she was to him.
And he would continue loving her until the end of everything.
“That’s a long time,” she tried to say lightly, but her voice was thick with emotion.
“It is the truth. I will love you until the six realms no longer exist. And even then, I will follow you into the great unknown.”
She swallowed hard before saying, “I love you, too. My mind is telling me that it’s too fast for that, but my heart already knows it’s true. You are my mate, the other half of my soul. No more waiting. Make me yours, Killian.”
“You already are, as I am yours.”
If she was ready, there was no point in holding back. Gone were the restrictions he had placed on himself. With a hungry growl, he bent down and claimed her mouth in a scorching kiss that was filled with all the passion and longing he felt for her.
When she wrapped her arms around his neck and clung to him, he settled himself more firmly on top of her. Unable to tolerate anything between them, he used his magic to remove their clothing. He captured her gasp of surprise, then swept his tongue inside her mouth to taste her laughter.
“You cheated. Removing our clothes with magic is like using a cheat code,”she said through their bond.
He broke the kiss to look down at her. “Is that a bad thing?”
“No. It’s good. Really, really good. Magic is awesome.”
Claiming her mouth in another possessive kiss, he took what he wanted and gave her everything he had in return. As he continued to kiss her, he stroked his hands over her silky smooth skin. He wanted to touch every inch of her but couldn’t bear to break the kiss long enough for that to happen.
When she arched up and rubbed her bare breasts against his chest, he felt his cock swell to the point of pain. He wanted her with an intensity that stole his breath and bewildered his senses. He felt like his body was on fire, burning from the inside out, but it was an agony he would gladly endure if it meant having her.
Tearing his lips away from hers, he dragged his mouth down the long column of her throat, kissing and licking at the side of her neck. She panted softly as he continued his gentle assault, and when he nipped her with his teeth, she let out a loud moan. Her hands fisted in his hair as she writhed beneath him. She tugged at the strands hard enough to sting, but the sharp bite of pain only added to his pleasure.
“Killian!”
“Yes, mate? Tell me what you need.”
“You. I need you.”
“You have me,” he swore.
Despite the urgent demands of his own body, he wanted to drive her crazy with need before he finally claimed her. His shaft was large, and didn’t want to risk hurting her. Moving lower, he swirled his tongue around one of her nipples as he palmed her other breast. The globe fit perfectly in his large hand, and he used his thumb and forefinger to send streaks of pleasure surging through her body that he felt reverberate through his own.
The echoes of pleasure he felt through their bond made his body stiffen. His skin felt too tight stretched over his tense muscles and his thick shaft throbbed with need. He ruthlessly held onto his last ounce of control, wanting to push her over the edge before he finally gave in.
Using his teeth and tongue, he teased her nipple as he moved his other hand down between her thighs. When she tried to close her legs, he used his own to push them wider. She let out a strangled cry when he stroked his fingers over her center, and he growled with satisfaction when he found her slick with her desire for him.
She arched against him as he slowly slid a finger into her. Shifting back up, he claimed her mouth again in a hot, wet kiss. She moaned as he stroked his finger in and out of her clenching pussy, working her open for him. She pushed at his shoulders, then switched to clinging to him as he started rubbing her clit between two of his fingers. He worked her to a quick, hard climax, making her shake with her release.
But that was only the beginning.
Seneca could barely think past the pleasure coursing through her body. Her pussy throbbed and clenched with aftershocks of her climax, but she was far from sated. Instead, that little taste of gratification only made her want more. Lifting her legs, she locked them around his hips and ground herself against his hard shaft in blatant invitation.
Accepting it without hesitation, he shifted his hips and surged deep, thrusting his thick cock into her tight pussy. She let out a strangled cry at his rough penetration and tightened her legs around him to pull him even deeper. Out of control now, Killian began pounding into her with fast, hard strokes. The combination of their mutual pleasure flashed between them, amplifying the sensations until they were completely lost in one another.
