He wasn’t fully corporeal as he wrapped his arms around me. “I’m not asking if you’re sure,” he said quietly. “But I am asking you if you want me to fuck you first.”

“Not after?” I teased.

“Oh, mate.” His voice was so low it sent chills across my skin. “Itwillhappen after.”

I leaned back against him. “Will it hurt?”

“I don’t know for sure.” There was a smile in his tone. “I’ve never done it before. But we’re binding our souls together. I’m guessing it will hurt some.”

Christine said it had. But she also mentioned the marathon of sex she’d had afterwards with all three of her mates.

“I don’t care how,” I said. “I just want it with you.”

Ariel spun me again so I was in his arms. “You’ll always have me.”

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE

____________

ARIEL

Mine. Mine. Mine.

If I still had my heart, that would be the sound it made.

Meg’s eyes were bright. She was breathless, and I could barely think straight. “What should I do with you?” I asked quietly. “Take you up in the air and make you feel like you’re falling while my tongue is in your pussy?”

She gasped, clinging to me harder. “Maybe not.”

I chuckled. “They say a little fear can make everything better.”

“Ariel.”

Meg and I were never going to be smooth sailing. I already knew we would butt heads and be assholes. Then we would make up and fuck until neither of us remembered what we were arguing about. But I didn’t want it to be like this afternoon, where I’d known I’d hurt her, and that knowledge had felt like fractured glass in my chest. The primal need to protect her and keep her safe had overridden everything, and it couldn’t.

But being able to feel her? We would fight and we would rage, but we wouldknowwhere we stood. I would be able to feel her pleasure and know what made her body sing, even more than I did now.

“Fine,” I said with a laugh. “But know that I do have plans to fuck you in the air one day.”

“You’ll have to break me into that slowly, I think.”

“Slow, fast, long, hard. We’re going to do it all.” I floated us up a few inches off the ground and watched her pupils dilate. “Breathe with me, Meg. I’m not going to let you fall. Stretch and you can touch the ground.”

She nodded quickly, but I could also hear how fast her heart was beating and her breath was coming. “I trust you.”

“Close your eyes for me.”

She did, and I spun her around so she was facing the ocean and the sky. All I wanted was to strip her clothes off and worship her, but first, I was going to smother her in pleasure. We weren’t going to be able to separate once we mated.

Gathering my magic, I let it pour over her skin. Through it, I felt everything. Every shudder and breath, the way her body tightened and writhed, feeling everything. “Oh, fuck.”

I let it flow through her skin, brushing through her body and feeling it with phantom hands. I was beneath her clothes and touching her curves. “I’m about to ruin your clothes.”

She laughed, but was still distracted. “You won’t be the first.”

“I won’t be the last, either.” My power disintegrated every stitch of clothing on her, and I was in heaven. Holding my naked mate was how I preferred it. Letting my being disperse into smoke, I surrounded her. If she asked me, I wouldn’t be able to describe how this felt.

Like every part of me was pressed against every part of her. Her scent waswithinme. The heat of her skin warmed me. Her arousal felt incredible. I was drunk on her, and I was about to be entirely addicted.
