She held her breath when she came, shuddering against him like a woman possessed. She clenched her teeth, and her eyes rolled into the back of her head, the sexiest thing Nox had ever seen.
When she went silent for a moment, that was when he knew she was elsewhere, in the realm of pure ecstasy.
“Oh fuck, fuck, fuck,” she said it like a mantra.
“You’re so gorgeous, Kelli,” Nox whimpered into her ear, tracing the lobe with his mouth.
She smiled widely, her entire face flushed from the sensations. He held her close as he shimmied down her pants, then his own, making sure not to put her injured foot in any precarious position.
“Tell me if you’re hurting,” he asserted.
She grinned at him as he slowly guided his cock inside her from behind, and once he easily slid into her sleek wonder, her mouth went agape and emitted a sensual whimper.
“Oh, baby, I missed you,” she murmured.
Nox held onto one breast, as well as one hip, as he began stroking inside of her. It wasn’t a position they had tried before, but it worked for the time being. He did adore the way she felt in his arms ... vulnerable and exposed, with his hands free and able to wander wherever they pleased.
Kelli was still eager, and her desire for him was as insatiable as Nox’s desire for her. She slowly rolled against his cock with an easy rhythm, her head tilted back to feel his chin pressing into the nape of her neck. He kissed her and breathed as he met her movements, lining up the way waves crashed against the shoreline.
He knew it wasn’t going to take Kelli very long to reach her pinnacle again. He felt the walls of her pussy pulse as she pumped faster against him, and he met her energy, making sure to always keep her foot out of harm’s way.
“Oh, Nox!” she began to bellow. “Oh, yes, honey!”
With only a few more strokes, Kelli was, once again, taken to heaven. Nox spilled inside her a few seconds later, the sensation of his orgasm moving through him like an electric current. He shook against her as she writhed against him, and they became one unit of quivering, unabashed passion.
“Kelli, I fucking love you,” Nox panted into her ear.
“I love you more,” she panted back.
He held her, moving his hands up and down her body to keep the experience of overwhelming sensation going as long as he could. Eventually, their breathing slowed, and they were two people lost in the pleasures of each other’s form.
“God, I missed that,” Kelli said.
Nox lay with her, her bottom pressing against him, her arms splayed overhead and wrapped around his neck.
“Me too,” he replied, bringing his mouth to hers to engulf himself in her scent again.
They spent another hour lying in bed, talking about their future, eating breakfast, and drinking coffee. Nox couldn’t think of anywhere else he would rather be other than, with Violet and his family, of course.
Kelli felt the same way. He knew it when he looked at her, without even hearing it coming from her mouth. That was the way it was going to be from then on, having a mate. He would just know how she felt without a word exchanged.
It made him feel reborn.
They began the drive back to his family. He was with the woman who would also be in his family. Though he wanted to stay in the hotel a bit longer, enjoying his mate without interference, he knew she wanted to get back too.
And he would do anything for his mate. That was a given.
FORTY
KELLI
She was watching Nox cook, and she leaned into the counter, enjoying the view. They had been home for a week and had gotten into the new role.
She clutched a cup of coffee, waiting for him to finish breakfast. She wanted to get up and be busy, but that wasn’t her duty anymore. Violet was with her parents, and right now, she needed to rest anyway. She wanted to be with Nox, so she still had things to figure out.
She needed to decide if she wanted to run her business from home or if she planned to go back. It was a bit of a drive from his house. She wondered how Nox would feel about moving so that she was closer. All questions they could talk about later. Right now, she was just drinking him in.
“You’re staring,” Nox said with a smirk. “Daydreaming, are we?”
