She tilted her head slightly, a knowing smile curving her lips.
“Mm, like what?”
I didn’t answer with words.
“Like this.”
And I kissed her.
And kissed her.
And kissed her some more until we were both entwined in the large canopy bed in the master suite, writhing against one another and striving for that singular bliss only we could reach together.
Our clothes fell away with the wave of her hands—a new magic she’d recently picked up and I had to say I was a fan—and with no resistance at all I slid into her in one hard thrust.
“Fuck, Unnasta, your body welcomes me every time,” I growled, reveling at how tight her sweet pussy gripped me with every slide of my cock.
“Oh God, Raven, you feel so good!”
“You were made for me, Serena. Only me. Tell me,” I demanded as I pushed her legs wider apart, my gaze dropping to her dripping slit as I rutted into her.
The runes etched into my body glowed as we renewed our bond with every caress and embrace—with every kiss and shiver—and every contraction of her hot little pussy around my cock.
She dug her nails into my skin, and that bite of pain was all I needed to double my efforts. And just when I felt her sweet heat tighten and ripple with her orgasm I struck, biting her neck and drinking from her vein her sweet life’s force that was the only thing I craved these days.
And when she bit me back? Oh, I followed my beautiful mate right over the edge into ecstasy, snarling like the Monster I was as my cock painted her walls with my seed.
No, this castle did not feel empty anymore.
Neither did the wind feel so cold nor the nights so long.
The past no longer felt like something that defined me.
Because for the first time—I was not the Draugr bound to a curse.
I was Raven.
Mate.
Lover.
I was a Monster with a mate and a future.
And this?
This was our home.
Chapter 30-Serena
There was a time when I used to sleep with the lights on.
Not because I was afraid of the dark.
Because I was afraid of what moved inside it.
I was five the first time I remember seeing one clearly.
Not just a flicker in the corner of my eye.
