Yes.
She watched his hips work her body. She whimpered as his thrusts grew piston-like once more. This time, she wrapped her arms around his shoulders and held him close. He released his hold on her neck and looked into her eyes. She returned to her body enough to meet his gaze. This would be different, more emotional, more present.
Tears streamed from her eyes.You’re magnificent.
You’re beautiful.He smiled and deepened his thrusts.
The climb was swift as she stared into his eyes. They were gold now and exquisite. She was one with him, aware of his driving cock, the strength of his arms, the wonder of his hips.
She let her hands begin a descent. She wanted to feel all that power. Her fingers gripped his bottom. She dug in her nails just enough.
He arched his neck and as pleasure once more tore through her, she watched his orgasm and it fired her even more. The rushing sensation began all over again as it drove through her abdomen and found its way to expand her heart. She felt herself open to him as she never had before. She wanted to take him inside her life and her world in the same way his cock moved within her.
She wanted so much to give herself to him as she’d once given herself to her husband.
Emotions flowed through her and the tears fell harder.
She hugged his shoulders as ecstasy peaked and a howl, so wolf-like in nature, left her throat and matched his own voice.
She continued to howl as together they drifted down from the heavens and her body grew lax.
Finally, he was arched above her, his hips now quiet, his arms stretched out, his neck back. His howls had stopped. So had hers. She had a view of his throat, his neck, the cord-like veins. All man. All wolf. So much strength.
Her body began to mold to the sheets. She smiled and sniffed. She’d wept, the sex had been so extraordinary.
Whatever happened in the future, she would always have this moment, a beautiful release after Grant had defeated Kryder and become alpha of the Meldorin Pack.

Grant’s arms began to shake. He’d held himself in a curved arch above Natalie and needed to let go of this tense position. He’d never come so much in his life, repeatedly, as though he’d been saving himself up for her.
It was a ridiculous thought, yet somehow, he believed it.
As he began to unwind, he knew he didn’t want to leave her body right away. He eased down on top of her, though supporting himself on his forearms to keep the full weight of his two-hundred-and-fifty pounds off her.
He wiped the tears from the sides of her face. He knew she’d wept, but he also knew it was from pleasure. He’d felt her sex rippling over his cock when she’d come. It was one of the best sensations of his life, to feel her coming with him, repeatedly. He’d give thealterworld this much: Sex could be phenomenal.
“That was amazing,” he said.
She offered a soft smile. “Uh-huh. It was.” She chuckled. “I saw the heavens this time, like you did last time.”
“I saw your wolf flowing over your skin, over your entire body. My wolf loved it.”
“Your teeth. Oh, my God, Grant, the feel of your incisors was astounding. I don’t think I’ll ever understand it.”
“All that matters is how you felt.”
She caressed his face. “We’re good together, aren’t we?”
“The best,” he responded, without giving it a second thought. It was his honest reaction.
He released a long sigh, as though it came from the deepest part of his soul. “Thank you for this, Natalie, for everything, for rescuing me in the Graveyard and for opening yourself to the future when I know you didn’t want to, when I knew it caused you pain and fear. Thank you for helping me to take Kryder down, but mostly, thank you for sharing my bed. It means more than I can say.”
“I’m just grateful I could help. So much of our world seems beyond fixing, beyond our ability to make a difference. But tonight, I know we did. Kryder won’t be able to hurt your wolves anymore.”
“No, he won’t.”
She smiled and ran her fingers through his hair. She pulled his braid over his shoulder and stroked it. Her own hair was a beautiful mass around her face and shoulders.
