"You're incredible," he growled into her neck. "The way you stood beside me, fearless to take down that drake ... I don't know how anyone could see you for any less than what you are."

Aelwen blinked down at him slowly, breathing too heavily from the anticipation of his body, her mind foggy from how he kissed her like they were the only two people in the world.

"And what am I?" she gasped, draping her arms around his neck to keep herself standing.

"The most beautiful woman in the world."

His hands came down to her hips, possessively trailing up her stomach and to the laces of her bodice, slowly unlacing the top until her breasts spilled out into the open. Vinir's eyes raked across her pink nipples, which quickly hardened under the intensity of his gaze and the cool night air.

"You're the most stunning creature I've ever had the chance to lay eyes on," he murmured, his gray eyes smoldering, "and I need you now. I'm going to fuck you against this tree, any objections?"

Aelwen was breathless, awed that he even had the control to ask her at this stage. But she shook her head. She wanted him, needed him, possibly even more than he wanted her. She couldn’t stop fantasizing about their night together, even if she'd been paralyzed from pursuing another night of passion because of her nightmares.

As soon as Aelwen confirmed, Vinir dipped his face down to take one of her nipples in his mouth. She threw her head back with a moan as he sucked and licked, fondling her with his tongue. While he gave her breasts all the attention, his hands roamed down her stomach, finding the waistband of her leather riding pants and slowly pushing them down her thighs.

Meanwhile, Aelwen unbuttoned Vinir's shirt and desperately splayed her hands on his stomach, letting her fingers roam the valleys of powerful muscles. Everything she felt for this man was a confusing mess in her head, a lust like she couldn't explain, a connection that had driven her half-mad from the beginning.

Vinir growled, frustrated when Aelwen's pants got stuck on her thighs, so he just ripped the crotch open. She gasped and laughed when he wildly ground against her, then lifted her, so her back was propped up against the tree, her legs curled tightly around his hips.

"Fuck, I need you," he growled. "Tell me you need me too."

Aelwen felt her heart flutter at the tenderness in his voice, and she smiled up at him, feeling an overwhelming love swell up inside of her. "I need you too," she whispered. "More than anything."

Vinir leaned down to kiss her deeply as he finished unbuckling himself, then pushed gently against her exposed pussy. As soon as she felt him there, he glided into her warmth, their bodies moving together as if they were meant to be joined this way.

He let go of a soft moan as he entered her, and Aelwen threw her head back in pleasure. The sensation was overwhelming, but it had never been more right. She felt like she belonged here, in his arms.

"Look at me," he commanded, and her eyes fluttered open again, and she locked her gaze with his. "You are strong and brave and beautiful, do you understand? You can do anything you set your mind to." His lips found hers again, hungrily devouring her mouth as he pushed further inside her.

Aelwen moaned against him as they moved together in perfect synchronicity. Vinir's words of encouragement echoed in her head like a mantra, reminding her of how deeply he cared for her even when he pretended to be heartless and cruel. No matter what happened in the future or how scared it made her feel, shenow believed she could always come back to him for the safety and security that only his embrace could provide.

With each thrust from his hips, all fear slowly melted away until they were just their two bodies existing until there was nothing but them and their lovemaking.

Vinir must have sensed this too, for he suddenly lifted Aelwen from the tree and placed her on a blanket of their clothes and soft leaves, their bodies never parting for even a second. He continued to make love to her with a newfound passion, each movement more tender than the last as his hands searched out new ways to bring her pleasure.

He took his time exploring every inch of her body, but his hand always came back to her face, caressing her cheek. There was so much hidden emotion in that powerful gaze of his. Words left unspoken on his parted lips.

With each movement, he pushed Aelwen closer and closer to the edge until she was no longer here on the ground in the middle of a dark forest with her husband but rocketing into the clouds.

"Vinir ... " she moaned, his name a chant she couldn't stop singing.

With a final thrust, they both fell off the edge together as their bodies shuddered in unison. A volcano of heat erupted inside of Aelwen, and Vinir shouted out Aelwen's name in sheer ecstasy as he spilled inside of her. She gasped and moaned with each wave of pleasure that came crashing over them both, drowning her in a hazy abyss of passion until finally, she collapsed into his arms, panting softly with a satisfied smile upon her lips.

Vinir pulled Aelwen closer to him and kissed the top of her head tenderly. "You are perfect," he whispered against herhair, feeling an immense amount of joy in his heart as if it would burst from his chest any moment now.

Aelwen smiled up at him, curling herself further into his embrace so that not even an inch separated them—not even air or space—just pure blissful love between their two bodies.

Somehow, he seemed to have changed so much since their last time together. It seemed so impossible that the man who had once told her that she was nothing to him would lay here in the grass making love to her, whispering sweet things in her ear that made her melt beneath him.

She didn't know when or how it happened, but looking at Vinir's pleasure-stricken face, but there was no doubt in her mind that she was falling for this strange and powerful man. There was hope for them still, a way for them to come together as a couple.

Until she found out about the baby, Aelwen had been ready to give up, but now she saw that she’d been mistaken.

No matter how many times Vinir claimed he was a horrible, callous man, Aelwen could not believe it. He had bouts of cruelty, true, but how much of that was forged based on how he thought he was supposed to behave, not based on who he actually was?

She wanted more than anything now to tell him about the news she'd been given. But even with this trust that there was a future for the two of them, after all, she was scared that it was too soon to bring a baby into the mix.

Would the baby bring them together or pull them farther apart?
