This was insane. I’d never been this overcome with need for another person before.
I was obsessed in a way that didn’t feel human.
He put me down gently and then pushed me against the giant rock. He pushed up my tank top, his hungry lips already on my breasts, and he fumbled with my pants. He was still so close to his animal, and I could barely take my hands off him, like I was in the same boat.
A confusing jumble of images flashed in my mind, but I could hardly care about any of them because I was too busy kicking my pants off. Gabe lifted one of my legs and wrapped it around his waist. I grasped him for balance, and looking into his eyes made all those images disappear.
It was only me and him, right here, right now, as he drove his cock inside me.
He was big, and it had been a while since I’d done this, but that wasn’t why it felt different. With each stroke, each roll of his powerful hips, more and more came back to me.
We’d done this before, in this very same spot.
The vision flashed before my eyes. The only difference between present day and history was that I was completely naked in the vision.
My hands tangled in Gabe’s hair. It had already been wild from the shift, and those green eyes were like the first morning light on a meadow. Practically on fire. Our lips met again in a messy kiss, and his shaft swelled.
He pulled out of me, and I dropped to my knees, taking his thick shaft in my hand and pumping it. The tip of it glistened and I put it in my mouth before he started to come. The groan that came out of him, completely spent, vibrated through my body, chasing the aftershocks of my orgasm.
“Hi,” he said once we finished.
“That was insane.” I laughed as he helped me rise to my feet.
“Are you okay? Something came over me and—”
“Okay? On a scale of one to ten, I am fucking magnificent.” I adjusted my clothes. “But we should probably get back before they come looking for us.”
He nodded and took my hand.
“Do you want to talk about it?” he asked as we headed down the path.
“Gabe, I think we’ve…” I stopped short of saying the words.
“Done this before?”
“Yeah.” What a relief—and a mindfuck—that he saw the same thing.
“I do too, and I thought I was crazy for feeling that way. These images keep flashing in my head, and I thought it was just the power of the Scepter, but it’s more than that if you’re feeling it too.”
“I’m kinda scared.”
“Don’t be.” He turned to me. “Now and forever.”
We’d entered the clearing. The guys had shifted back to human and were breaking down the tents. Bibi and Marissa were looking at a laptop screen.
Gabe tugged on my hand. He led me over to the water and waded through the pond until we were directly under the waterfall.
He looked even better soaking wet, with his skin glistening from the water and those early morning rays of sun.
His breath was hot against my ear. “Too bad we couldn’t do that all over again here.”
My heart pounded. I had to break away from him. These feelings were so intense. He hadn’t technically claimed me by marking my skin, but he’d torn down every defense I’d ever built around myself.
I felt raw, vulnerable, but at the same time, fucking fierce.
Bibi smiled at us as we came to the shore. “That was quite the little adventure. Gabriel, I take it everything was okay on your trip?”
“Fantastic.”
