“This is how you feel?”

“Well, it might not be exactly what I feel, us being different species and all,” he whispers so no one overhears us. “But it’s probably very similar to what I feel.”

“Does this mean…” I pause. “Does this mean I’ll have to… eat them? Like you?”

I’m not sure what I expected his reaction to be, but it certainly wasn’t him bursting out into laughter.

“No, definitely not,” he finally says. “And I don’t eat them. Just their souls.”

“Thank the gods. So when that guy walked by, you felt it, too? How were you able to ignore it?”

“Well, normally I wouldn’t. But I didn’t want to ruin our lovely day,” he explains.

I look down at the ground, contemplating my new reality. This is what the rest of my life will be like, every time we go somewhere. How will I ever be happy like that? How will I stop it from getting to me, feeling all this evil all the time?

“Talk to me. What’s going on in your mind?” he breaks me out of my thoughts.

When I look up at him, I realize something. He is how I’ll stop it from getting to me. He’s the answer to it all. How could I ever be unhappy with him by my side?

“Nothing,” I say. “Let’s keep shopping.”

Annnette being able to feel the darkness makes me incredibly happy. I feel as though it bonds us even closer. She is the mate I never knew I wanted or needed. My life without her would be incomplete.

Later that night, when all our new items have been unpacked and put away, I watch her as she crosses the main room in the cabin to come sit on my lap. Her smile is contagious and uplifting. She makes me want to be better for her. She makes me want to be what she wants me to be.

I want her to be happy and peaceful. I want her to enjoy being with me every day. She nestles onto my lap, her head on my chest. She is my home. My family. My mate.

We're bound as one now. Eternally. And it's a wonderful feeling.

My hands stroke her back. Up and down. And my other hand reaches between her thighs to play with her most intimate spot. With her clothes on, I can't quite bring her to orgasm, but I can tease her until she's wild with desire.

I feel her hand on my growing arousal. She strokes me, up and down, and I gasp.

"Annnette," I moan.

"Yes, Rukh?" she replies.

"You are my heart."

"You're my life," she whispers.

I feel her fingers in my hair. On my face. She's kissing me. I groan as she continues to stroke me. It's so good. My mate is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

I want to be inside her. I want to love her. I want to take her on the floor, against the wall, in the shower. But I don't want to hurt her.

"I love you," I whisper.

She looks in my eyes and gives me a sexy grin. "I love you, too."

I can't hold back anymore.

I pull Annette up and onto my lap. She straddles me, and I quickly unbutton her top and pull it off. She reaches behind herself to unclasp her bra. I cup her breasts in my hands. They're beautiful.

Her nipples are already hard, and I can't wait to taste them, to suck and bite them. I groan as she pulls off my shirt and throws it onto the floor.
