When he released my other nipple, I reached between us to hold him still while I slowly lowered myself. I watched his face as I took him in. His head tilted back slightly, pleasure causing his eyes to slip shut. My heartbeat quickened, and not just from the way his cock filled me with heat. Seeing him in ecstasy pushed the worst of my worries and stress away. For now, it was just him and me and pleasure.
His arms tightened around me as I began to move. In this position, my stomach wasn’t in the way; there wasn’t too much pressure, even when my chest was flush with his. I brushed his hair out of his face, and his eyes opened again. Making love hadmade them shift to the dark, deep green of the forest. I could ride him for hours just to stare into his eyes.
Bliss steadily built as the minutes passed, and my slow rhythm became more insistent. Ecstasy bloomed from my core until every inch of my body was tingling.
He touched his forehead to mine. “Bryn, I’m close,” he whispered.
“Me too.” I held his face there, gyrating my hips in his lap and making him hiss with pleasure. “I want to come with you.”
He made a sound that was somewhere between a chuckle and a moan. “I can make that happen.”
He held me more tightly and then pumped up into me. The thrust of his hips pushed the tip of his cock up against that oh-so-sensitive spot inside my pussy. I gasped, my fingers digging into his shoulders. He knew my body so well, was intimately familiar with every inch of it, and knew exactly how deep to go to push me over the edge.
I tossed my head back as my orgasm coursed through me, my body stiffening. I trembled, and Night held me all the while. He pressed his forehead to my shoulder and spilled hot inside me. He kept pumping until he was spent, until I felt it seep out of my pussy and onto the bed.
I opened my eyes as my muscles slowly relaxed. I kissed the side of his head and rubbed his back in gentle circles. Even when my head was cleared of lust, I loved having him inside me. I’d gotten what I needed: connection, love, comfort. And I hoped he’d gotten those things from me, too.
“Night,” I whispered.
“Yes, love?” he murmured against my shoulder.
“Promise me we’ll always find peace with each other,” I said. “Promise me we’ll never try and shield each other from the truth, even if it’s to protect feelings or because we’re ashamed.”
He pulled back to look me in the eye. “I promise,” he said, brushing his hand across my cheek.
I nuzzled into his hand. “I promise, too. It’s you and me against the world, love. Don’t forget that.”
“You and me against the world,” he repeated, then smiled. “I love you.”
I kissed his forehead. “I love you, too.”

NIGHT
Because she was in the final stages of pregnancy, Bryn was usually the one who had trouble getting to sleep, but tonight she was snoozing peacefully beside me while I lay awake. I watched a moth flutter around our window, hoping it might put me to sleep, but it just increased my anxiety.
Slowly, I sat up and slipped out of bed. It turned out I didn’t need to be so cautious—Bryn was dead to the world, thanks to yours truly. A late-night run might help me sleep as deeply as she was.
As I dressed, I reached out to Dom. “Hey. Up for a run?”
He responded in seconds. “Yeah, sounds nice.”
We decided to meet near the training grounds since it wasn’t far from the alpha cabin. I got there before Dom, and when I saw him jogging toward me, I noticed something was different about him. It wasn’t until he got closer that I caught Tavi’s scent on him. That wasn’t new; these last couple of months, I’d noticed they were hanging out together more.
No, this was different. Intimate.
I made a face as he stopped in front of me.
“What?”
I continued to make the face, eyeing him up and down. “So, you were with my sister, huh?”
Immediately, I saw something on Dom’s face I’d never seen before. He wasblushing.
“Oh, wow.” I stared at him. “You were.”
He looked away.
