“We did last night,” he teases, and another laugh escapes me.
“We have forever but I want it all now,” I tell him truly. “I want to know everything there is about you.”
Ryker thinks about it for a moment. “I’ll start. My favorite season is summer.”
I don’t think I could smile any wider at his admission. “Mine is winter. And—” I search for a truth about myself. “Lillies make me sneeze but I think they’re beautiful.”
“What’s your favorite flower then?” he asks.
“What’s yours?” I counter.
“The tropical ones, like birds-of-paradise.”
“I love peonies and roses.”
“Then I will build you a rose garden,” he tells me.Where?The question hisses in the back of my mind but I don’t speak it. Instead I tell him another truth of mine.
“The outside world is dangerous, and it’s scared me for years now.”
He touches my face with a fondness, staring deep into my eyes. He leans forward as if he’ll kiss me but instead he whispers, “The outside world is beautiful and thrilling.”
My heart beats faster, knowing he’s right, knowing I will venture to places I haven’t known but that he’ll be beside me.
Ryker’s eyes flash with a knowing desire. “This all happened for a reason.”
“What reason?” I question wondering why fate had us meet this way.Why now?
“This reason.” He kisses me with a passion that weakens my knees. It doesn’t matter that he had me over and over last night.It doesn’t matter at all. I kiss him back as fiercely as I ever have, and Ryker sweeps me into his arms and presses me back against the wall in a few hurried strides.
I’m drowning in desire by the time his cock is hard against my hip. I writhe against him needing to have him inside of me again.
Lifting me by my hips, with my legs wrapped around his waist, Ryker fucks me up against the wall, uninhibited and free, and the push of him inside me and his hard body in front of me can be nothing but heaven. I clench around him, pleasure building in me until I come undone. Once? Twice? I lose track in our touch and the heated kisses. In his primal need. And Ryker follows me, thrusting hard inside me until he kisses me one more time before he finds his own climax.
He leans his forehead against mine, my body still wrapped around his, and catches his breath. Then he kisses my cheek and then nips the lobe of my ear.
With his lips at the shell of my ear, his warm breath sends shivers down my shoulders. “You don’t have to ever question that I am yours or whether I’ll ever come back to you,” he says, and then pulls back so I can look into his eyes.
His eyes have never seemed brighter or more possessive. They have never seemed more wolf-like. But I know it is him I am seeing.
I am seeing his very soul.
“Fate brought us together,” he continues. “Not your spell.”
“Fateandmy spell brought us together,” I correct, playing one last round of our game. He lets out a huff of a laugh at my correction, giving into me.
“I love you, Idalis,” he whispers. “My soul was meant to be with yours.”
I’m filled with so much joy that I can hardly breathe, but then I must, because here is my new life and my mate, before me at last.
“I took some pleasure in my solitude,” I begin, then pause, choked with emotion. “But I did feel sorrow. I told myself that I didn’t long for anything. That I was content with my purpose. I told myself it would be safer to be alone. But then you stepped onto my land, and into my life, and I knewlonging.I never knew longing like that until you looked at me. I love you Ryker. And there is no doubt that I will love you forever.”
