Strength.

Freedom.

Energy.

An orgasm tore through me just like that, leaving me sucking in air as my body adjusted to the magic that mingled with the fire in my veins.

The power didn’t feel like it belonged to me.

It felt like it was August’s.

Like I was August’s.

There was no pain from his bite—only pure, untainted belonging.

His magic was mine.

My body was his.

And that was exactly how it was supposed to be.

His chest was rumbling, almost purring, when he finally released my neck.

My breathing was still rapid, but my pain was entirely gone.

“Keep eating, Fireball.” His command made goosebumps erupt on my arms.

His lips brushed the back of my neck again, and there was no pain where the wound should’ve been.

I finally picked up my fork with a trembling hand, and lifted another bite to my lips.

“You smell incredible.” His hands were still moving over my abdomen.

I inhaled deeply at his words, and caught what must’ve been August’s scent.

My lower belly tightened.

My toes curled.

I didn’t have words to describe what he smelled like.

Trees?

Sex?

Freedom?

Some combination of those things, and more?

It was just like the scent I’d caught on his skin the day we first met, but so much more intense.

It didn’t make sense, but every fiber of my being told me it was right for me. He was right for me.

His hands slid up to my breasts and squeezed lightly, distracting me from his scent. “I don’t know how long this will relieve the pain.”

“Some relief is better than none.”

He made a noise of agreement, kissing the back of my neck again like he just couldn’t help it. “My scent intertwines perfectly with yours.”
