She felt so much in this moment that it was hard to separate the different strands of thought and emotion. For one, Stone looked like a god as he stayed in an almost statue-like position. He was still connected to her, but his arms were fully flexed and his body bowed away from her. His face was glowing, his lips parted, his eyes closed.
As she looked at him, her throat tightened. Her gaze searched his face, the strength of his cheekbones, the muscular line of his neck. His chin and nose. His brows were thick and arched giving him a regal look. The knife-like tattoos along his upper chest stood out like warrior blades and the glow of the elf-lord power made him appear invincible.
She could feel that he was in this moment almost an elf-lord. She didn’t know whether to be awestruck or deeply afraid. She understood Vojalie’s biggest concern, that Stone would surrender to his elf-lord potential and take on a mantle that would require his execution.
Yet, the way he looked was incredible. She wasn’t sure what all was involved, but it was a lot more than merely channeling the power. In a burst of fae insight, she saw that a decision of the will would bring the elf-lord power permanently into his body, changing him forever.
A terrible prescience came to her that soon he’d be faced with the decision.
Slowly, he came back to himself. The arch of his back decreased and his head leveled out so that he could look down at her. “I swear I saw the heart of the universe just now.”
She stroked his arms and shoulders deciding then and there that she would do everything she could to help him keep from following the deadly path. “You’re glowing.”
He lowered himself onto his forearms and kissed her. “And you’re beautiful.” He glanced around. “The mist you made was exactly what we needed.”
She smiled and pushed back some of his thick hair with her fingers, dragging it over his shoulder and down his back. “And I definitely needed to howl.”
“And so you did. It was hot as hell.”
She nodded. “Everything about this was amazing. And the vibration you can send through your cock.” A shiver went straight through her at the memory.
He used his thumb to stroke her cheek. “I love being able to give you pleasure like that. I also love that our mating vibrations are so fully joined. Not quite a bond.”
“No, not quite, but the nearest thing.” She smiled. “I don’t want to let you go.”
“And I don’t want to leave your body.” He shifted his hips so that she felt him. He was in that beautiful half-state of arousal.
“I never thought I would feel this way,” she said. “Ever. Or even have the chance to experience this kind of closeness. And now, I’m here with you. It’s beyond imagining for me.”
He kissed her again and again. They were on the ground in the forest surrounding his estate and she didn’t want to leave.
“How about we go to my bed and talk a bit more.” He reached down and stroked her breast, fondling the tip. “What we did here was great, but it was so quick. I’d love to slow things down. How does that sound?”
This time she leaned up and kissed him. “We could make sandwiches, have some beer, then find out how strong your bed is. I’m still feeling very ‘Aralynn’ right now.”
He smiled and it was such a look of joy that she gasped softly as her heart made a swooshing sensation. “I love you, Stone.”
He kissed her in response. “I never expected love. I was committed to the Nine Realms especially after the slaughter at Charborne when my parents died. I dated a lot over the centuries but this,” he pressed a hand to his chest, “was made of flint.
“Yet here you are, beneath me and I’m inside you and your blood is in me and you’ve allowed me this amazing gift of channeling the elf-lord power. I’m so grateful for it all and for you and your steadfastness as queen and for the part you played in the battle earlier tonight. I love you, too, Rosamunde.”
The words caused her heart to soar so high, she was sure she would start levitating, then rise to the moon and keep on going.
When he finally released himself from her body, he grabbed the remnants of his shirt and tucked it between her legs. “Thank you,” she said. “I appreciate it.”
He then tried to draw her dress around her, perhaps with the intention of flying her to the house. But she stopped him. “Grab your clothes. We’ll teleport.”
He looked relieved. “Good plan.”
It took a moment for each of them to pick up the shoes and torn clothing. But once everything was in hand, she hooked his arm. "I think I’d like a shower right now. What do you think? Care to join me?”
His lips curved. “Love to.”
She thought-the-thought a
nd with a blink, she took them both right next to the large shower. She dropped her clothes to the side, then turned to set the heads running and the water to warming up. There were several, including an overhead rain shower.
After removing the pins in her hair, she stepped in. Stone joined her and the next half hour became a playful time of soapy body parts, a lot of massaging and at last finding her back pressed up against the tile as he entered her again.
