He looks away from me, then sits down on the edge of the bed. He drops his head down, looking at the floor and shaking his head back and forth slowly. Then he stops. “I’ll try harder not to blame myself for this. You’re right, I suppose. If anything happens to you, though, I’ll never forgive myself for all of eternity.”

I move his hands from my face and hold them in my lap as I giggle. “Eden, don’t say that. I have to spend eternity with you. I can’t spend it with a spirit who resents itself.”

I see a weak smile begin to form on his face and he says, “You giggled. I love it when you giggle.”

“I know you do, my prince. Now show me some of that faith you have so much of and that I sorely lack. You’re supposed to be the strong one who never shows fear.”

The touch of his hand running through my hair makes chills run through me. “Princess, I’m weak as a kitten when it comes to you.”

My heart pounds in my chest as I feel his fear for me. It takes everything in me to stop myself from freaking out.

If he’s this afraid for me, then I’m really in a lot of danger!

‘Take my mind off this,’ I send to my mate.

His strong hands move over my neck and back, massaging them as he sends back, ‘Your wish is my command, princess.’

Lips as soft as downy feathers cover my shoulder as he moves the thin strap of my sundress off. I stretch my neck and he moves his mouth to it. A quick nip at the nape of my neck, then he softly sucks at it. My body flashes with a fire which runs from the tip of my toes to the top of my head.

I want him now!

I stand and drop my dress, then pull his shirt over his head. His tattoos are beautiful and I run my hands over them. All have meaning, and the cross in the middle of his chest shows exactly who it is he works for.

Though he’s made fun of me for it, I say my prayer in hopes of staying us for a while longer, rather than adding a child, and kiss the cross on his chest.

Lifting me by my chin, he looks into my eyes. Putting his arms around me, he unhooks my bra, then pulls it off. My stomach flutters as he bends down and places his warm mouth over my breast.

I hear the button on his shorts pop and feel them drop past my legs to the floor. His mouth travels between my breasts up to my neck, then finally to my mouth.

The sweet taste of cinnamon fills my mouth as Eden’s tongue roves over mine in a tangle of wet desire. My hands flow over his shoulders and down his back until they find his muscular butt where I hold him, pressing him to me.

He picks me up and tosses me onto the bed. I smile at him as he leans over me to rid me of my panties, kissing my leg as he moves back up. ‘I’m about to make you forget everything but me, princess,’ he sends me.

I close my eyes and prepare to think only about my mate and how he makes me glow inside. My body shakes as his lips touch the little pearl, which pulses with desire. His tongue runs over it and my hands tangle up in his luscious locks as I hold him to me and groan in ecstasy.

‘You taste like heaven, precious,’ he sends me.

My tongue flows over my lips as I send him what I want, ‘Let me taste you while you taste me.’

His mouth leaves me as he looks up. “Really?” he asks with a smile on his face.

I smile and nod, and he moves so I can get on top of him. When my mouth slides over his hard erection, his moan vibrates my clit as his tongue runs over it. I shudder with exhilaration.

The touch of his mouth on me spurs me on to slide my mouth over his hot, silky, throbbing member. My hand strokes as I run my tongue over the tip and down the shaft.

With no indication, Eden rolls me over. I end up on my knees as he pulls me back by my waist. One hand grabs a fistful of my hair as he fills me from behind, jerking me back to him. He pounds into me and I quiver with how hard he’s breathing and how wild I feel with him. “You like it, princess?”

I moan my answer as I quake inside, about to lose it. An orgasm rips through me, sending me into a loud shriek. I drop my face into the mattress to stifle the noise and Eden pounds me harder and faster.

My legs shake with weakness, but he doesn’t ease up, and I feel it welling up in me again.

How the hell can it happen again so quickly!

Eden pulls at my hair as he hammers me and my face is pulled away from the mattress. My insides erupt and I scream Eden’s name as I come undone.

He stiffens behind me and groans loudly, “Alyssa!”

Slowly, he falls on my back and I lay out on the bed, barely able to draw air into my lungs.
