Sparks exploded within my core as his growl filled the room, and his hands were suddenly gripping my hips tightly. He took over, using his grip on me to slam me down, over and over as his hips bucked up.
Somehow he reached even deeper within me, and my head tilted back as my cries of pleasure echoed through the chamber. “Yes! I'm so close, Theo."
My words sounded like a plea, and they were. He delivered, slamming into me, hitting deeper inside of me in this position, and his hands gripped my hips even tighter. Increasing his pace, he left me no time to breathe as my climax built up to its precipice.
He grunted, his pace suddenly slowing, making my head fall back down to glare at him. But when I saw his eyes sparkling with the magic that warned of his dragon’s presence, I knew that we were at an impasse.
The bond was beginning to surge from within his dragon.
“I can’t hold it back any longer,” he admitted hoarsely, still hitting deep within me, making it hard to think about anything other than the pleasure rolling through me.
“So don’t,” I answered, lowering my chest to his and sealing our lips together.“Claim me.”
I pulled back to stare into his eyes as I continued to rock up and down on his cock. Deep fear reflected back at me, and my chest squeezed at how much he cared for me.
“Trust in us. I do.”
My words seemed to wipe away his hesitation as he lunged for my lips and tangled our tongues together.
“This is forever. No matter what, wench. Remember that.”
His words accompanied the weightless, floating sensation that seemed to coax my heart out of my body, just like I’d felt before in the springs. Tingling warmth coated me as I gave in, letting my essence branch out to meet his own that called to me. I felt like I was floating in the clouds, close enough to touch the moon that I knew was beaming down outside.
My climax welled within me, the moment, the sensation altogether too much but somehow still not enough. Bearing down, I cried out, ignoring the way our bodies began to glow from the inside out, our veins suddenly sparking with the same blue, magical ley line energy in this realm.
I shattered, calling out his name as he did mine. His hips stilled and I felt him release within me.
A tidal wave of energy released as something shifted within my chest. The bed shattered beneath us as the rest of thefurniture within the room went flying into the walls, breaking on impact. I slammed my eyes shut as his arms wrapped around me tightly, rolling me to lay beneath him. I shouldn’t have been surprised at his attempt to shield me from danger. He’d proven time and again that he’d always protect me.
We were plunged into near darkness as the candles extinguished all at once, right before the walls themselves cracked, allowing in shimmering rays of moonlight.
As silence settled, I opened my eyes and gasped.
“Your eyes,” I breathed out, hands shaking as I lifted them to a face I didn’t recognize. “Your scales.”
The magic pulsating beneath our skin began to fade as he turned his lips to kiss the palm of my hand.
“They’re gone,” I said, running my hands along his smooth skin, missing the scales that I’d once used to mark him as my enemy. “The curse is broken.”
His lips crashed into mine.“And you’re my mate.”
Chapter Thirty-Three
SIYANA
My bodyand mind were engulfed in a whirlwind of emotions as Theo's lips devoured mine, leaving me gasping for air.
My husband.
My mate.
At that moment, I felt like I was finally whole for the first time, with his arms wrapped tightly around me. Our smiles were blinding, radiating pure joy and triumph as he pulled back to look at me. We had overcome all obstacles to be together, our souls now merged as one.
But amidst the euphoria, I noticed a tangible link between us that pulsed with raw power, the remnants of the magic that had bound us together, I assumed. It was a magnetic force that solidified what we had always known: we were destined for each other.
"How is this possible?" I asked, my heart racing with disbelief that everything we’d wanted had come to pass. "The curse shouldn't have broken so quickly. The undine god hasn't even appeared yet to know that we completed the bond."
I had to wonder if he was watching us now as a shimmering door of ice appeared on a wall nearest us, the soft rays from the moon illuminating it. The god’s voice carried on the howlingwind seeping in from outside.“Come claim your seer and be gone from my realm.”
