As my release faded once more, Noah pulled out of me and lay back down on the bed. He smiled at me.
“Done already?” I asked.
He shook his head. “Time for the finale.”
I chuckled and climbed on top of him and slid his dick inside me. After situating on top of him, I met his gaze. He smiled up at me.
“What?” I asked, smiling.
“I’ve missed this. I’ve missed you,” he said.
“Focus,” I said, placing a finger over his mouth to shush him. I didn’t want to admit that I also had missed him. In every capacity.
I slowly moved on top of him, with him keeping rhythm with me. Slowly my orgasm started to build. Noah’s eyes rolled into the back of his head. His fingers dug into my hips, coaxing me to move. The static of magic filled the air.
I sat up straight and held my arms in the air. Tiny bursts of energy nipped at the tip of my fingers.
I felt Noah’s energy fill me, empowering me, strengthening my body and my magic. And as my orgasm hit for the last time, Noah sat up and squeezed me to him. I wrapped my arms around his head as I cried out my pleasure.
Noah stiffened around me. He grunted as hot liquid spilled into my sex. His fingers dug into my back, and I continued to rock against him, trying to drag out the last of his orgasm as a small thank you for what he gave me.
I stopped when he loosened his grip around me and started placing kisses all over my chest.
As I climbed off the bed to get ready for the ritual, he laid on his side and watched my every move. I met his gaze and smiled. “What?”
“When this is all over, I want you to do something for me,” he said.
“What is that?” I asked, almost hesitantly. I had a feeling about what he was going to say and I wasn’t sure I was ready to hear it yet.
“Choose me,” he said.
My smile faded as my heart kicked up in pace. He said exactly what I thought he was going to say, and I wasn’t ready to hear it from him. Not so soon at the very least. But I couldn’t top myself from wondering if I could go down that road with him again? I wasn’t so sure. The second I was fully dressed I crawled onto the bed and planted a long, enduring kiss on his lips. When I pulled away, I smiled softly. “I’ll think about it.”
With that, I left the room.

An hour after Noah disappeared to have sex with Savannah, Liam and I were escorted outside to stand on the patio. We almost weren’t allowed to see this part of the ritual, and we couldn’t go any further than where we stood. But since we had talked our way into it, I was taking it all in. Just in front of that was a large, ceremonial circle. Torches were lit at the marks of the cardinal directions. Small bowls of flames burned at each hour mark. In the center stood an altar made from white stone.
Though normal circumstances wouldn’t even let us this close to the coven’s well-guarded, sacred practices, I was happy Liam and I had made a solid argument when the high priestess came and asked us to leave.
“I’m not comfortable with that,” Liam said. “I would like to stay and make sure nothing happens to Savannah.”
“Speak for yourself,” I muttered. “If you would allow us the opportunity, we would love to make sure everything goes smoothly.”
She shifted her gaze between the two of us.
We were so close to missing out on this. I was closer to losing Savannah to Noah, I wasn’t about to miss the opportunity to make sure she knew we were with her too. And more so me than Liam. He could jump off a bridge as far as I was concerned. I didn’t understand where he got off saying half the crap he had when it was just the three of us sitting in the lounge just before the dinner.
Despite the words we had used in our argument, the high priestess smiled knowingly at the two of us. We must have let her in on a secret neither of us intended to share. Regardless, she agreed to let us stay. But we could never utter a single word of what we witnessed during the ritual. She even threatened us with a rather unpleasant sounding curse.
I smiled at her when she threatened us. I rather liked the old crone. She reminded me of Savannah in a lot of ways. She never really talked much about her family or her childhood, and with the slight familial resemblance, I wondered if the two were related.
My curiosities were getting the better of me.
Liam cleared his throat. He stood next to me and held a serious expression on his face. I shook my head. He must have convinced himself we needed to be here to protect Savannah from Noah.
