He drags in a shuddering breath. “Fuck, I love it when you say my name.”
Sliding his hands up my body, he finally pushes my shirt all the way up over my head and then tosses it aside. I blink against the warm light from the glowing spheres and then meet his beautiful eyes. They glitter even brighter in the golden light.
At last lifting my hands from the grass, I lock them behind his neck and pull his mouth down to mine. He moans into my mouth as I claim his lips.
Bracing one hand on the ground, he moves the other down to my thigh. With a firm grip, he raises my leg while his cock presses against my entrance. I lift my hips. He thrusts inside me.
Pleasure crackles up my spine as his cock slides into me in one commanding thrust that fills me completely. I gasp into his mouth. After drawing out slightly, he slams back in again. Another desperate moan drips from my lips.
Draven rests his forehead against mine. “I love you, little rebel. I love everything about you.”
My heart stutters in my chest. With my hands still locked behind his neck, I hold him close to me as I kiss him again. “I love you too, Draven. I love you more than life itself.”
He kisses me back with a desperation that takes my breath away. Love and lust and pleasure and desperate need thrum inside our souls, shared by our mate bond, as he fucks me with a possessiveness that burns like wildfire. Every thrust of his hips is a primal claiming. A defiant scream to the world that I am his. A threat and a challenge to anyone who would dare try to take me from him again.
My entire body vibrates with pleasure as he worships my body. Tension pulses inside me, thrashing like a storm, as every commanding thrust of his hips and every stroke of his tongue brings me closer to an orgasm. His cock slams into me, hitting deep inside. I gasp in desperate breaths as lights flicker before my eyes.
Draven’s fingers dig into my thigh as he fucks me possessively. Pleasure shoots up my spine with every dominating thrust, making the building tension inside me thrash like a thunderstorm.
I slide my fingers down from his neck and rake them across his back.
A moan rips from his lungs.
The sound of it shoves me straight over the edge.
I gasp as the intense orgasm crashes through my body with enough force to make my legs shake. Draven tightens his grip on my thigh, holding me firmly in place as he continues fucking me through the waves of pleasure. His beautiful eyes sear into mine, as if burning the expression on my face into his mind forever.
A groan tears from his chest as he comes as well.
I yank his mouth down to mine, stealing that deep groan from his lips while his cock pulses inside me. He kisses me back furiously, biting my lip and dominating my mouth with his tongue. Pleasure crackles through my every vein.
The mate bond pulses inside us like a glowing tether, connecting his soul to mine. Forever.
When the intensity of the orgasm has faded out, Draven restshis forehead against mine again. Still buried deep inside me, he remains like that for a few seconds. His chest heaves. So does mine.
Then he gently pulls out and lies down on the soft grass next to me. Wrapping his arms around me, he pulls me tightly against him. The desperate longing in the way he holds me makes my fragile heart crack all over again.
I press my body harder against his. “I missed you so much.”
“I missed you too.” With his arms still tightly around me, he kisses my forehead and draws in a deep breath as if breathing me in. “I missedus.”
A sob rips from my lips, and before I know it, the floodgates crash open and tears flow down my cheeks. “I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry. I was trying to save you, but instead, I ruined everything.”
“No. Youdidsave me. I would have died back in that pocket reality if you hadn’t done what you did.” He kisses my forehead again. Insistently. Urgently. And he tightens his arms around me, as if he wants to physically press his words into my body. “You never ruin anything. And you could never ruin us.”
Another broken sob escapes my lips.
He edges back slightly and moves one hand up to my jaw, tilting my chin up so that I meet his eyes. They’re overflowing with love, which just makes more tears stream down my cheeks.
“I told you that I would destroy the barriers of the afterlife and battle both of our gods to find you.” A soft smile tugs at his lips. “Did you really think that I would let something as trivial as a little magic keep me from you?”
Something halfway between a laugh and a sob rips from my lungs.
“You’re mine.” He strokes his thumb over my cheek, wiping the tears away. “You have always been mine. You will always be mine. Now and forever. And God help anyone who tries to take you from me.”
I smile. The sight of it makes his eyes brighten, and he brushesa soft kiss against my lips. A contented sigh escapes from deep within my chest.
Relief and love and pain and longing thrash inside my ribcage, making my chest ache with the intensity of it all. Wrapping my arms around Draven again, I press my cheek against his chest and nestle closer to him. He holds me tightly.
