Dex ran his fingers through my long hair. His eyes locked on mine, and I got lost in the bright green, the look of pure affection and of primal need that swirled in them. Power pulsed between us, thick and strong, aware of the bond we were about to forge.
When Dex planted another kiss on my lips, he bucked his hips faster and faster. He rested his hand on the pillow next to my head and reared up, his other hand on the mattress now, too. His face changed, becoming a mask of concentration as he pounded into me. I cried out, my breath forced out of my lungs in rhythm with his fucking, and I held onto his strong shoulders as if I would float away. His muscles were thick cords, rippling under his skin.
He stroked in and out of me, and I grew closer to another orgasm.
Dex wasn’t far, either. I could tell by the way his breath came in shallow, erratic gasps and his brows knit together. I wrapped my legs around his waist, and my body rocked with his, my breasts jiggling back and forth as he bucked his hips.
He coaxed the fire within me into a roaring furnace, and I cried out. Dex dropped his head into my neck, and I heard his gasping in my ear. I shivered, goosebumps running over my arms from his hot breath on my neck.
A second orgasm ripped through me, and I curled around Dex, holding onto him as intense pleasure wracked my body. Dex pushed into me as deep as he could go, and in my ear, he grunted. I felt his cock twitch and pulsate as he released inside of me, his rhythm echoing mine as my body contracted and released in orgasm, milking his cock.
Our power rose around us, rubbing against each other. I waited for the bond to forge, for us to be deemed fated.
The power was so strong in the room, I could barely breathe, but the bond didn’t come.
When the orgasms passed like a storm, Dex collapsed his colossal frame on me, and I struggled to breathe. He only lay on me for a second before he rolled off, slipping out of me.
I lay on the mattress in a puddle of sweat, breathing hard. Dex was right next to me, his chest rising and falling with his panting.
He turned his head to me. He didn’t say anything—Dex had never been a man of many words.
There was nothing to say. I stared back at him, and in his eyes, I saw light and love, so much affection it made my heart constrict.
We shouldn’t have done this, but now that we had, I didn’t regret one second of it.
“I have to go,” Dex said in a hoarse voice. “I would stay, you know I would. I just…I have things to take care of.”
“I understand,” I said.
It was the middle of the day, and as general, he had a lot of duties still.
Dex pushed up from the bed, and I watched him walk around it, his warrior’s body a feast to look at. His skin shimmered with sweat in the candlelight as he walked to the door.
“My clothes aren’t here,” he said, looking bashful. He rubbed the back of his neck.
“I know,” I said with a small smile.
“I’ll dress and then take my leave.”
I nodded, and Dex looked unsure of himself. He offered me an awkward bow before he left the room. I fell back on the pillow and listened to his movement in the living room. When the cathedral fell silent, I let out a sigh.
Dex was gone.
We’d slept together. We’d become closer than we’d been before. We’d done the one thing I’d told myself I wouldn’t allow.
We hadn’t forged the mate bond, though.
It was strange—not forging a bond with Dex went against the vision I’d had of us. A part of me rejoiced. If we weren’t meant to be together, then we couldn’t lose each other, and the vision would be for nothing.
Another part of me, the larger part, was disappointed.
How could I feel this strongly about him? How could I have visions about him, but the mate bond wasn’t forged? It didn’t make sense.
I should have been happy, relieved, that we weren’t fated mates. It changed everything.
I wanted the mate bond. I wanted Dex to be mine, and I, his. I’d fought against this, avoiding him for this very reason, but now that we’d slept together, I wanted him.
Forever.
