“Were we?” he asks, a smile curving his lips. “Speaking of celebrations?”

“No, but we should be. Call me old-fashioned, but I’d like to be married by the time Aurora arrives. And preferably before I’m too massive to fit into the wedding dress I found in the attic. It was my great-grandmother’s and the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.”

He pauses, turning to me in the soft moonlight that illuminates the world now that the last of the clouds have blown over. “You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, no matter what you’re wearing or how round you get.” He places his big hand on the still flat place between my hips, making my breath catch and my entire body begin to tingle in ways only he has ever made me tingle. “I’m so grateful for you. And our baby. I swear, I’ll do everything in my power to give you both all you’ll ever want or need. We can buy a house in town, move out of the swamp, and—”

“We’ll do no such thing,” I say, my heart overflowing as I press a gentle finger to his lips. “I love your cabin and Laura would be very upset if we moved to town.” I cock my head. “Though, I think we will need to renovate the bedroom…cover the floor with something other than dirt, get a bigger, softer bed, and make room for a crib. The baby should sleep close to us at first, don’t you think?”

“I do,” he says, the feel of his lips moving against my fingertip enough to make me burn. I want his lips everywhere, all at once, all night long. “And by her first birthday, I’ll have finished adding a second bedroom onto the main level. And a proper dining room so we can have guests.”

“But you hate guests,” I murmur, sliding my hand into his silky hair.

“I don’t hate anything anymore,” he says, gathering me close as his head bends to mine. “I’m too in love. You’ve ruined me for the Grumpus life forever, Mrs. Blackmore.”

I sigh. “I like the sound of that.”

“As do I,” he says, kissing me slow and sweet before he adds, “Is tomorrow night too soon? The shield has already been renewed, so we won’t have to bother with a lengthy, formal engagement.”

I smile against his lips, so happy I can barely contain myself. “Maybe a hair too soon. I’m sure Casey and Blaire would appreciate at least a few nights to rest and recoup before dancing until dawn. Because we will be dancing until dawn.”

“Yes, we will,” he echoes, his arms tightening around my waist.

“You dance?”

“Never,” he says. “But I will with you. And I’ll relish every moment. I’d enjoy scooping swamp monster droppings as long as I get to do it with you.”

“Same,” I say, tears rising in my eyes. “Now take me home and do bad things to me? Really bad things? All night long?”

“All night long,” he promises.

And when we get home, he keeps that promise.

He really, really does.

By the time he glides into me from behind on the rug in front of the roaring fire, I’ve already come twice and am pretty sure I’ll never feel better than I do at this exact moment, with Baron’s cock filling me, stretching me, claiming me as he whispers all the sweet and filthy things I’ve been dying to hear.

Things like, “You’ve ruined me, woman. Absolutely ruined me. Nothing has ever felt this good. Nothing. Not in two hundred years and more.”

And “Your pussy is paradise. Fuck, Annie, I can’t get enough of you.”

And “I love you, sweetheart. Goddess, I love you.”

His hand slips beneath me, the heel of his hand grinding against my clit as he pumps harder, faster between my legs, and I shatter into a billion humming specks of stardust. Suddenly I’m everywhere and nowhere, in dazzling harmony with every living thing and the general magic of creation as I come and come, my final orgasm twisting through me with the power of a tornado.

By the time Baron buries himself in me one last time, his cock twitching against my inner walls as he finds his release, I’m so exhausted I’m not sure I could move if my hair were on fire.

“Wow,” I mumble as he rolls onto the carpet beside me and cuddles me close.

“Indeed,” he whispers. “I think I’ve discovered your witch power.”

I arch a sleepy brow. “Oh yeah? What’s that?”

“Seductive enchantment. You lie with a man once, and he’s your slave for life.”

I grunt softly. “Well. I guess we should hold off on getting married, then? Until we see if there are any troublesome men around who I should enchant for the good of the realm?”

“I would rip out their throats and make a tartare out of their internal organs,” he says pleasantly, making me laugh. “I can’t share you. Not even for the good of the realm.”

I push up onto one arm, propping my head in my hand as I gaze down at his handsome face. “Good. I don’t want to be shared. I just want you. And a thousand more nights like this one.”
