The love shining in his eyes, combined with his thrusts and attentions to her clit, sent Nikki over the edge. As pleasure coursed through her body, she clutched and released Rafe’s cock. She screamed his name and Rafe stilled inside her as he roared. His orgasm increased her own, and she could think of nothing but the male inside her.
Soon, Rafe lifted her hips, removed the pillow, and then rolled onto his back taking her with him. Listening to his heart, she reveled in the feel of his chest hair under her cheek and his strong arms around her.
She’d always enjoyed sex before, but having it with the male she loved had made it that much better.
Tightening her grip on him, she kissed his chest and murmured, “I wish I could go with you.”
“But you will be, love. The marks on my back are a piece of you. Together we’ll be finding a way to take down that Christie bastard.”
Propping her chin on his chest, she looked up. “For someone who swears he can’t spew ‘romantic crap,’ you’re doing a pretty good job of it.”
Rafe’s chuckle vibrated under her chin. “I guess it took a stubborn, opinionated, and bossy woman to bring it out of me.”
She sighed. “And, there goes the romantic mood.”
Stroking her back, he answered, “If I’m always nice and romantic, life will become boring rather quickly. I have to keep you on your toes. Because in fifty years, I want to be lying on the floor with you in my arms just like now.”
Laying her cheek back on his chest, Nikki listened to her human’s heartbeat and hoped for the same thing.
Rafe lazily ran his fingertips up and down her back. Eventually, he spoke again. “Between Jane and Kai as well as you and me, my parents are going to have to finally visit.”
She looked up. “You never really talk about your parents.”
He shrugged. “My mum is from Australia and finally convinced my dad to move there a few years ago. Visiting England isn’t exactly an easy thing to do since it’s halfway around the world.”
“Maybe we could go there. I’ve never been to Australia, and I’d love to meet some of the dragons there. Or, at least, learn about them since we don’t really know if they’re potential allies or if they’re potential enemies.”
“That’s my woman, always thinking of how to expand her list of allies,” he said with a smile.
“Well, I missed out on meeting the Irish clan for the first time, so I need to think of a new plan on how to make it happen with a different clan.”
Brushing the hair off her cheek, he answered, “Maybe someday, once things are calmer. I don’t think traveling halfway around the world is the safest move at the moment.”
“We did it in the army.”
“That was different. You had battleships and destroyers take you to India and you flew from there. Commercial ships make for easier targets.”
She sighed. “I guess that means your parents will have to fly here.” She grinned. “I look forward to your parents meeting mine.”
As he played with her hair, he raised his brows. “More like your dad is going to have to stand up to my mum.”
Nikki snorted. “Then we definitely need to make it happen.”
He pulled her up his chest and kissed her. “As soon as I get back, you plan the mating, and I’ll get my parents here.”
“Someone sounds in a hurry to get mated.”
He grunted. “I want it done before you change your mind.”
She gave a heated look. “Then you’d better use what time we have left to convince me to keep you.”
With a grin, Rafe rolled them over until he caged Nikki with his arms and legs. “Woman, you’re not going to be able to put two sentences together when I’m done.”
“Well then, Hartley, I accept your challenge.”
Rafe kissed her and set out to win.
Never had Nikki been so happy and content to be herself. Being a Protector or even the first child born to a sacrifice didn’t matter at that moment. All that mattered was that she’d found her true mate and her happy ending was within her grasp.
