Nate gazed at me with a sudden intensity. He got up and stepped over to me, looming above me from his full height. But it was a reassuring loom. It made me feel larger that a man like this wanted me this much, not smaller. I hooked my fingers over the hem of his pants. His breathcaught.

“Ren,” he said, wonderingly. He touched the side of my face, so much tenderness in that powerfulhand.

“I want you to be my mate,” I said, gazing back at him. “And I want to be yours. From now untilalways.”

“Hell, yes,” he said. He bent to crush his lips against mine again. I gripped his shoulders as he walked us back toward the bed. When my legs hit the foot of the frame, I reached for the button of his pants. He kicked them off, and his boxerstoo.

For a second I just gazed at the perfection of his body. Six-foot-something of solid muscle and soft skin, all for my taking. And his cock, thick and long and standing at attention for me. Growing even harder when I stroked it from base tohead.

Nate rumbled low in his chest. He scooped me up and laid me on the massive bed, making quick work of my panties. But the impulse to take control came over me. I nudged him onto his back and knelt over him. He grinned up at me, resting his hands on myhips.

“Lead the way. I’ll be right there withyou.”

A rush of affection flooded me. I lowered my lips to his, kissing him long and hard. But too much desire had built up between my legs for me to wait long. I rubbed my sex against his cock. We both moaned. Inhaling slowly, I lowered myself right ontohim.

His cock filled me completely with a heady burn. I whimpered, rocking against him until he was all the way in. He reached up to fondle my breasts with one hand while the other stroked over my clit. The combined sensations set off a flood of bliss that swept every other thought from myhead.

I rode him desperately, chasing my release. He pumped his hips up to meet me. His breath turned ragged. A sheen of sweat dampened his muscled chest as I braced my hands againstit.

“I want to watch you come,” he murmured, swirling his thumb over my clit. “Take everything you need,sweetheart.”

Something about those words sent me over the edge. The glow of our bond flared between us. It flowed over me, surrounding me in the protection I knew Nate would always offer me, whenever I neededhim.

I bucked against him a few more times, and pleasure burst through my body. I gasped, clutching him. He caressed me through the wave, his eyes bright with appreciation—and a deeperdesire.

Even as my nerves sang out, I wanted more too. Harder, faster. I sagged against him and gave him a little tug to roll us over. He flipped us without slipping out of me. I raised my legs on either side of his hips to give him even deeperaccess.

“More,” I said. “Take mehigher.”

He thrust inside me with a shudder. “You feel so good, Ren. So fuckinggood.”

A moan broke from my lips. “So do you. Give me everything. I can take it. I want it. Don’t you dare holdback.”

With a sound halfway between a groan and a chuckle, he thrust faster. Our skin slid together, slick with sweat. Every muscle in his body felt coiled beneath my groping hands, driving his shaft into me with everything he had. Just the way I neededit.

The pleasure swelled and swelled until I was shaking with it. I arched up, taking him all the way to the hilt, and another orgasm swept through me. Nate jerked with a hot gush inside me. His head bowed over me as he rocked to astop.

We lay there, panting, for a long moment. I traced my fingers over his cheek, and he beamed down at me, so brightly it sent a flutter through mychest.

“I don’t know how I got so lucky,” he said, “but I’m sure as hell going to make sure I deserveit.”

“Mmm,” I said, pulling him down to cuddle against me. “I think this was anexcellentstart.”

I fit against his body perfectly. His heart thudded beneath my ear where it pressed against his hot skin. I pressed a kiss to it, wishing I could stay here like this for the rest of theday.

His fingers glided up and down my back. “We’ll have to get you back into another dresssoon.”

“I know. But not yet.” Five more minutes without thinking about the fae monarch and what she might have in store for us—that was all Iasked.

I nestled my head against his shoulder, closing my eyes against the rest of the world and the worries that came withit.

Chapter 20

Ren

Insects hummedaround us as we tramped along the narrow path through the woods. The mossy smell in the air was kind of pleasant, but the terrain? Not so much. I glowered at a jutting root I’d nearly stubbed my toeon.

So much for getting a break from hiking after that long trek up and down the mountain. We’d driven most of the way to the neutral ground that lay between the avian estate and the fae monarch’s domain, but apparently the fae found any sort of man-made transportation distasteful. Arriving to meet them with a motorized vehicle would have been a grave insult. So we werewalking.
