He knelt up, wrapped his arms around me, and pulled me up onto my knees and against his chest. “Gods, Tory, I never stopped loving you.”

He kissed me then, and I swear the entire universe exploded around us. I half expected the ground above us to come crashing down, and I honestly didn’t care. His lips were on mine, and finally, he wasn’t holding back. He pressed me against him, running his hands all over my body, even down my arms and up into my hair, touching every part of me. I did the same, pulling him as close as I could, never wanting to let him go again. He broke away, breathing hard and leaning his forehead against mine.

“I’ve loved you for thousands of years, Austin West,” I whispered, my own breathing ragged, “and I’ll love you for thousands more if you’ll have me.”

“I want you so much,” he said. “I’ve wanted you for so long...”

I shifted backwards, lying down on the hard floor and urging him down on top of me. “Then come home to me, priest of my heart.”

He leaned down, brushing his lips against mine, soft and slow. I felt his body, hard and solid, pressing against mine, and ran my hands through his hair as he kissed me. Memories flooded my mind and heart of the many times we had come together and all the times he had denied me, and I pulled him closer.

“So beautiful,” he murmured against my lips, and I smiled. His kisses were soft and slow as he took his time exploring my mouth with his tongue. He cupped my face in his hands, his thumbs stroking across my cheekbones and down under my jaw, every touch the gentlest caress. The goddess in me craved the sharpness of his bite that would instantly tip me into bliss, but the woman in me wanted each gentle, loving touch after being starved of him for so long. Each soft kiss was his offering, his plea of devotion, and every harsh word and misunderstanding faded to mere memories as he finally gave himself over to me, body and soul. Austin was mine again, completely, but I was his and always would be.

Tears pricked at my eyes at the sudden rush of emotion, and I cupped the nape of his neck, pressing my face into the curve where it met his shoulder. I touched my lips to his skin, my tongue darting out to taste him, and he sighed. I reached down and grabbed the hem of his shirt, needing to feel him against me. He straightened and pulled it up over his head. I laid my hands on his smooth, broad shoulders and ran them gently down his toned body. The other guys were all fairly toned and took care of themselves, but Austin was just big and hard and perfect... There wasn’t an inch of softness on him. I bent down, trailing my lips down and capturing his nipple in my mouth. He groaned as I gently raked my teeth across it. He slid his hands into my hair and pulled my mouth back to his for a moment or two before pulling back.

“Your turn,” he murmured, taking my hands and raising them above my head. I held them there as he skimmed his fingers down my arms and then shivered as he brushed the sides of my breasts. He pulled my tank up over my head and tossed it to one side. “Turn around,” he said, and I did.

He unclipped my bra, sliding it slowly down my arms. I felt the press of his lips at the base of my neck, moving down between my shoulder blades, and a shiver ran through me, my nipples hardening. Large hands slipped around my waist, pulling me back against his hard chest, and I let my head fall back onto his shoulder as his hands slid up to cup my breasts. I closed my eyes, enjoying his touch as he stroked them firmly, rolling my nipples between his fingers and pinching gently until I was breathing hard.

“Stand up, beautiful one,” he murmured, sliding his hands down to my hips and pushing me up. He turned me around and pulled me close, his lips moving from the bottom of my ribcage over my stomach to my waistband. He hooked his thumbs in it and tugged. I placed my hands on his strong shoulders and used him to steady myself as I kicked off my boots. He slid my trousers slowly down my legs, and I stepped out of them. My socks were next. His lips danced across my stomach and hips, his tongue darted over my skin, and everywhere his fingers brushed against me felt like I was burning up. I was so wet for him, I couldn’t help pushing my hips towards his face, my body clamouring for more. He must have sensed it too, because he pressed his face to my soft cotton underwear and inhaled deeply.

“Gods, Tory, I want to feel my cock inside you so badly, but it’s been so long since I had a taste...” I gasped as he peeled my underwear down and slid his hands up my legs, pulling them apart so he could trace his tongue up my inner thigh. His hot breath tickled my skin, and I slid my hands into his hair, pulling him closer. I felt his tongue trace my slit, teasing me and I moaned loudly.

“Austin, please.”

He obliged, dipping his tongue into my pussy and sliding it along my folds. He made a noise that was between a growl and a moan, and moved his hands around to grab my ass, pulling me hard against his face so he could lap at my wetness. His tongue flicked over my clit, and I cried out. Sliding one hand along my leg, he hitched it up over his shoulder, allowing him to get deeper, and I gasped as his tongue speared inside me. He licked and sucked at every part of me, feasting on me like a starving man, and any self-consciousness fell away when it became obvious how much he loved the taste of me.

“Austin, gods, don’t stop... Austin,” I cried.

He didn’t, circling my clit with his tongue over and over until I was melting in his arms as fire engulfed my body, burning me up from inside. My body felt like jelly, and my knees shook as my climax swept through me. He straightened up and swept me into his arms as he stood, holding me against him as I shook. He let me catch my breath for a moment, before pushing me back against the wall and sliding his hands down my thighs to lift them and wrap them around his waist. I locked them around him and moaned as I felt the head of his hard cock slide against my wetness. I reached down, guiding the head of his cock to my opening. His fingers dug into my flesh, and he closed his eyes as he nudged forward, sliding inside just a little.

“Fuck... Tory... You feel so... Fuck...”

I pressed my mouth to his and gripped him tightly with my legs so I could lift and lower myself all the way down his length. He moaned into my mouth as I took him, and I felt him shiver. He broke the kiss, pressing his forehead against mine, and gazed into my eyes. Blue ice and golden fire danced in his gaze, and he didn’t break eye contact as he started to fuck me slowly. I felt every inch of him move out and then back inside.

“I love you... Victoria... Bastet... Sekhmet... I love every part of you, forever.”

“I love you too. Never leave me again,” I whispered, my hands locking behind his neck.

“I couldn’t,” he rasped. “I tried it, and it nearly killed me.”

“I would follow you anywhere,” I said. “Even to the underworld to drag you back home with me.”

“Tory,” he whispered. His voice broke, and I saw tears in his eyes as he bent to kiss me, covering my eyes and cheeks and mouth in desperate kisses. He thrust into me harder, and I cried out.

He took me over and over, every fibre of my being attuned to him he drove us higher and higher. I could no longer deny myself his taste, so I bit down into his neck. The power of his blood, the most potent of all my priests, blazed through my veins, and I shattered around him. My legs clenched tightly around him, forcing him deeper inside me, and I felt my pussy contract around his cock, forcing his own release. I tore my mouth from his skin, only for him to bite me, and another climax ripped through me, leaving me trembling and weak as he staggered backwards and gently lowered us both to the ground. He didn’t release me though, and I could still feel him inside me, rubbing against my sensitive flesh.

He lay back on the ground, looking at me with ice-blue eyes blazing with desire, and his large hands settled on my waist. He began to rock me back and forth, torturing my pussy with more friction, and I gasped as I felt him grow hard inside me.

“Fuck... Austin...”

He grinned up at me as he gasped for breath. “Perks of being... high priest... of a goddess of pleasure. Always able to serve her... over and over if she requires...”

My eyes widened as he thrust up inside me then closed in utter bliss as he swelled, filling me once again. He didn’t rush this time though, but rocked me forwards and backwards, sliding me gently over his cock and slowly building the sensations until we both fell to pieces. This time, he pulled me down into his arms and held me close until the trembling stopped and we both drifted away.

I opened my eyes. My body felt strange, tingling all over like my blood was fizzing in my veins. The red glow from the battery light had gone out, and it was pitch black. I could feel the warm strength of Austin’s body underneath mine, our arms and legs tangled together, and I placed my palm over his chest to feel his heartbeat. A wave of memories swept over me. Not the violent cascade I had come to expect, but a gentle constant swell of memories, softly drifting across my mind. I lay in the dark in Austin’s arms and smiled to myself as the pieces of my mind that had felt so out of place and fragmented dropped seamlessly into place. Power surged through my body, burning like desert sands, then faded to a dormant ember that would awaken at my will. I closed my eyes once more, reliving memories I thought had been lost, until I slipped into a deep sleep, and somewhere deep inside, the cat and the lioness began to purr.
