They all turned and looked at him.
“Hi, Dad,” the girl called out.
He drifted sideways and fell against the doorjamb.
The vision lasted only a few seconds more, but in that time, the world flipped on its axis and tears started to well in his eyes. He blinked hard, then closed them firmly because he was still dizzy.
But when he opened his eyes, another vision came of Naomi and Joy, standing where the children had been playing. We wish you well, Jude. Our loving best while you finish your years with Hannah and your new family. They both blew kisses, which was something they’d always done when he’d head out to work for the night.
When the second vision ended, he begged the Goddess, “No more. My heart will fail.”
He heard feet running down the corridor and turned to find Hannah racing toward him, wrapped up in a towel.
“Jude, what is it? I felt such grief and joy pouring from you. What happened? What’s the matter?”
And this was why he loved her as much as he did. She was with him, had always been with him, and always would be.
He caught her up in his arms and held her fast. “I love you, Hannah. You have my heart. You are my heart.”
She drew back and met his gaze, nodding her understanding several times. After a moment, she pulled out of his arms and took his hand. “Come join me in your shower. I don’t know what just happened, but you need to be with me right now. We need to be together.”
Because he could still feel the past and future still lingering in the bedroom that had once belonged to his daughter, he agreed and walked her back to his bedroom.
Later, after showering with Hannah, Jude stood at the foot of the bed and worked carefully at popping the champagne cork. Hannah arranged the comforter to create a makeshift table on the bed for the platter of fruit and whip cream.
The loud pop, made Hannah laugh.
With his heart full, he poured out two glasses, then drew close. Handing her one, he said, “To a bond I’ll always treasure.”
And she replied, “To a bond that has already blessed me more than I can say.”
She fed him fruit covered in whipped cream, and he returned the favor, sharing kisses in between, touches, gentle fondling, and a slow build.
With the fruit consumed and the glasses empty, Jude set the platter aside and tossed the comforter on the floor. He stretched out beside Hannah and kissed her, a long, lingering kiss that became more as he pressed his tongue against her lips. She parted for him, sighing as he slid his tongue inside her waiting mouth.
His mating vibration, now attached to hers in the mysterious realm way, hummed and stroked her at the same time. She cooed her pleasure. That feels so good within me, Jude. I had no idea it would be like this. And I can feel what you’re feeling.
Same here. I love you, Hannah.
I love you, too.
He moved onto her and she spread her legs for him so that what was already hard found her entrance and pushed inside. Her hips rocked as he glided along her wet pathway, feeling her well tug on him, while he moved his tongue slowly in and out of her mouth.

Hannah loved the weight of Jude on top of her, the muscular frame that she’d been lusting after for so long. He was inside her now, driving steadily, working her deep. She’d longed for this connection without understanding the why of it.
And now that she’d endured the difficulties of the past two nights with him, she felt deeply changed in a way that had shifted her life forever.
She wrapped both arms around his neck and held him tight, wanting him to feel with every undulation of her body that she loved him, that she always would.
The bonding on Kelltah Bridge had begun a process that making love with him now completed.
With her hands, she stroked his shoulders then the full length of his powerful arms. She savored his strength, valuing that what had been given to him was used nightly to save his people.
She drew back and met his gray eyes. “You’ve changed everything in the best way possible. You are my fire.”
He moaned and kissed her hard, his hips curling deeper into her, moving faster. She swept with him to the point of ecstasy, and with the blood rose bond and the vibrations that they both released, before long she was crying out. At the same time, Jude roared, that guttural animal sound that swept through her body, telling her that she belonged to him, only to him.
