I lean up on my elbows, staring him straight in the eyes. What could possibly make him think that? I’ve never given him a reason to believe that, have I?
“Jayden, I’ve told you a hundred times and if I have to, I will tell you a hundred more. I only want you. I love you.” The words slip out without my consent and I widen my eyes.
Shit. I just ruined everything, didn’t I? I turn my head away from his heated gaze, readying myself to jump up and flee when Jayden’s mouth slams down on mine and he lays me back against the bed, crushing me beneath him.
His kiss is filled with every emotion as his tongue battles with mine. His shadows pulse and writhe over my skin, plucking at my nipples and sucking at my clit until I’m screaming again into Jayden’s mouth.
“I love you too, Beth. So fucking much it hurts sometimes. I think I have loved you since the first moment I saw you in that little Irish pub,” Jayden says between heated kisses down my neck.
My fingers tangle in his hair as he moves lower and bites my nipple before lapping at it to soothe away the sting. He moves to the other breast, giving it the same attention as the first before moving lower.
“Jayden,” I cry out as he sucks my clit into his mouth.
My hands have a death grip on his hair and I yank on it, holding his mouth to me. Jayden chuckles and the vibrations set off another orgasm. I’m not even sure how I’m not a writhing puddle in his arms by this point.
Jayden untangles my fingers from his hair and sits back again. He’s staring at me like I’m a goddess. I reach for him but his shadows capture my arms and pin them to the bed.
“I can’t handle you touching me right now. Just give me a second.” He trails his fingers over the skin at my hip and up to trace the scar left by the bronze bull’s horn.
Why haven’t I thought of that? The mark of a warrior isn’t a good thing. It means that I will never have a quiet, normal life so any life Jayden and I could possibly have won’t be happy or normal. Am I dooming him to a miserable life if we’re together?
“What’s wrong?” Jayden leans down, pressing his lips to the scar. “Where did you just go now?”
I have to tell him. He needs to make the decision on his own, but am I ruining the moment by thinking about it?
“You remember what Artemis told us about this.” I trail my fingers over the raised pink lines. “Am I being selfish and dooming us both to a life that we don’t want?”
“The only life I don’t want is one without you in it. You’re not being selfish. I am.” Jayden grips my hips, pulling my body flush against his.
He rubs his hard cock along my slit and all thoughts of doom and gloom evaporate as he slowly pushes into me. He pulls me up so our chests are pressed together and the angle has him pushing inside me in short, hard thrusts.
My nails bite into his shoulders as I rock my hips against him. Jayden growls and flips us, lying back on the bed. I run my hands down his chest as I continue rocking my hips. Jayden squeezes my waist and lifts me up before slamming my body back down on him. My back arches as he hits that spot inside me.
My whole body tingles and he does it again, thrusting his hips up at the same time he slams me down on his cock.
“Jayden,” I scream.
My hands are on his chest, my nails now biting into the skin at his pecs. My body writhes and shakes with the most powerful orgasm yet and all I can do is hold on to him as he thrusts up into me. Lightning shivers beneath my skin and Jayden groans as small arcs of electricity zap into him.
“That’s it, baby. Fuck, your magic feels so good against my skin. Don’t stop,” Jayden says with a growl.
I let a little more of my magic crackle against his chest and Jayden’s back arches and his hands clamp down on my hips. He pumps his hips wildly into mine as his orgasm tears through him. His whole body shakes beneath mine. I slump into his chest and bury my face into his neck. We’re still connected as he wraps his arms around me.
Jayden presses his lips against my temple and chuckles when I yawn. “Did I wear you out, baby?”
“No, I wore myself out.” I rest my chin over his pounding heart and stare into his blue eyes.
“You think you’re funny?” He tickles my sides.
“I know I’m funny.” I squeal with laughter and bat his hands away.
Arms like steel bands wrap around me from behind and pull me back into his hard chest.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Jayden whispers and nips my earlobe.
“Somewhere that I’m not going to be tortured.” I look over my shoulder, batting my lashes at him.
“That’s not torture, babe. What you did earlier was a slow painful torture,” Jayden says.
