“My mother told me that you are created at the will of the universe to be the last hope. When there is an imbalance, it finds a soul and gives it a special spark. How did you do what you did to save me from the kings?”
“When I saw the destruction, the people and Denarsoans on the floor and the others still fighting, anger took over. Allele said to just focus on what I wanted, and that’s what I did.”
He chews a lip and laughs nervously. “Guess I better make sure I stay on your good side.”
Aura finally finds a room he likes and carries me inside. He circles the large four-post bed and passes the raging fireplace to peer out the window. “Pathway is lit up, that’s good.”
“Oh?” I look and find the string of Amphirans climbing the walkway between glowing stones.
“That means I can spend some time with you.”
Eluni knocks and cracks the door open. “Packed you a heavy blanket that’s not crusty and old. Bedding crates will be brought up in about an hour.”
Aura walks to the door. “Thank you, Eluni.”
Then he locks it, grins at me, snags the blanket, and walks to the fireplace that arcs and snaps with electric flames. He spreads out the blanket, lays me back, strips out of his armor, and then kisses me with tenderness.
“Stop me if you think I’m hurting you or the baby.”
“I will.”
Aura inhales against my neck and hums as he begins working my armor off of my shoulders. With every inch of skin he exposes, he finds each Vybrance node and kisses it. With every touch of our skin, I feel another lovezap and see a little flash of light.
The light of the fire casts shadows on Aura in all the right ways. My chiseled mate slips my armor over my hips and tosses it aside. As the heat of his skin slides over mine and I feel him push inside, our bodies form their own Storm. It is electric, fiery, gentle, and then almost violent.
Aura’s body glistens with sweat as he thrusts into me again. Deeper, harder. I slick around him from the delicious pressure and the stimulating tingle of his body and mine, united.
He suckles my nipples, withdraws, leans back, and drags his tongue up my pussy, giving my nub an extra swirl of affection, then reinserts himself. But it is the way he gasps when I clench around him that sends me over the edge.
I never thought anyone could love me like he does or find such pleasure in my body.
He stiffens inside of me and maxes our bond, making my ecstasy rise, my thoughts blur, and my skin a field of hot white light.
Aura is there with me, electric green eyes drinking me in as he fills me, caresses me, and folds his light around me.
After our bodies are calm again, he holds me by the fire and wraps the blanket around us as the castle rooms warm.
“We will make this a bustling planet again. I will give you two a good life here.” Aura stretches his legs to either side of mine and guides me to rest against his chest. “But I have been considering what jobs I might take after this.”
“Oh?”
He presses his mouth to the side of my head where he draws in breaths of me. “I think there are other Amphirans out there who have yet to find their way home. I want to help them. Just figured I might pick up a private security job or two along the way. Visit Jorusk, Sa’Tai, Vitus, Elix, maybe even General Viriden of Isonia.”
I sigh and nestle myself deeper in his arms. “As long as you take me with you.”
“Not while you’re pregnant.”
“Who’s going to fix Allele’s engines? You’re too fat.”
He scoffs, then grins.
Aura picks me up, turns me around, and guides me down over his rigid length. I can’t comprehend how he recovers so fast. Even though I am spent, the way his girth stretches me still gives me a euphoric rush.
“Only in all the right places,” he whispers into my ear.
“Stars, I love you,” I pant, looping my arms around his neck. “Just promise me that if you leave, you take me with you. I don’t want to go another day without—”
“This?” Aura flexes his cock and smirks.
