I press my forehead against his chest as he leans his chin against the top of my head. “I have something to fight for. That makes a difference. I want us to have a future together, with babies and our own place, surrounded by people who love us. I want everything you can give me and more. That’s a big motivator.” I position my ear against his heart and listen to its frantic thumping.
“I fucking love you,” he tells me, and I pull my head back to look at him just before his mouth collides with mine.
The kiss is punishing and hard—the kind of kiss that makes my toes curl inside my boots. I ignore the bubbling laughter that wants to come out at how I must look. My jeans and panties banded around my knees, my pussy dripping, and my breasts bared to him as he claims my mouth with a feral need. He’s in the same state of half-undress too, but somehow he makes it look sexy as hell.
“I…” I kiss him on the jaw. “Love…”My mouth moves to his neck, loving how he tilts his head to give me better access. “You.”
His fingers trail over my cheek, the intensity of his stare making my knees feel weak. “I promise you, I’m going to fix all of this.”
“You don't have to do that. We’re in this together. Wherever you go, I will be right at your side.”
I don’t want this moment to end, but it has to.
“We need to shower,” I say, feeling stickiness on my thighs.
“We’ll have to be quick. I don’t think Callum is the kind of guy who waits.” He pulls his jeans up over his ass but doesn’t fasten them.
Before I can do mine, Jackson lifts me into his arms. I instinctively wrap myself around him like a vine. Once we’re in the bathroom, he lowers me onto the tiled floor and kneels down to undo my boots.
I watch him, unsure why this feels so much more intimate than it should, as he lovingly removes one boot and then the other. When I’m barefoot, he slides my jeans and panties off, helping me step out of them before shedding the rest of his clothes.
Naked in front of each other, my arousal begins to grow again. We don’t have time for another round, but I want it.
Clearly, so does he. Jackson steps into my space, our bodies molding against each other. I can feel his hardening cock against my stomach as his teeth nip along my neck.
I’m thrumming with heat and desire as he sinks his teeth into my neck.
What the…?
I gasp, pain biting through that sensitive area as he marks me. How is he doing this? Claiming marks are made between mates.
My wolf howls, frantically excited as my pussy throbs with each swipe of his tongue over the mark.
When he finally pulls back, I’m dazed and a little bemused. My fingers trail over my neck, feeling the raised imprints he’s left on my skin.
“You marked me.” I don’t mean for it to come out quite as accusatory as it does, but the heat in his eyes tells me he doesn’t care about my tone.
“You’re mine, and I want the whole world to know it.”
“But we don’t have a bond.”
He lifts my leg and presses his cock deep inside me in one thrust. I have to grip the counter behind me so I don’t collapse under his force. It makes me feel so full that I whimper. “Tell me this doesn’t feel like a bond.”
His nose nuzzles along the line of my jaw, down to his mark, and I let out a contented sigh because he’s right. We feel as if we were always meant to be.
I don’t need magic to tell me that Jackson is my soulmate. My heart already knows.
Chapter 20
Jackson
Iwatch Dove dress.
We still have to pack, and I know we should be hurrying, but I take a moment from stuffing my clothes in a holdall just to study her.
I have been in turmoil for so long that I didn’t know how it would be to feel any different. The sense of peace she gives me is indescribable. Like I’ve always known my life was incomplete before Dove, even before I even remembered we’d been together before.
My need to go after the Order isn’t selfless. I have never been driven by revenge, but when it comes to this, I want to burn it all to the ground for what they’ve done to Dove—for both the shit she can remember and the horrors she can’t.
