“It hasn’t. But something tells me it could have the potential to.”

Eliana took her free hand and cupped his gorgeous face, peering at him with both a thoughtfulness and pull that were positively supernatural. She didn’t want to talk about the possible betrayal of the future. She wanted to be present with him right then and there.

“For now, I think we should just think about tonight. We can figure things out after the battle.”

Lucas sighed, but not with relief. She felt doubt and fear cascade through his mind like a trickling waterfall.

“How about a sandwich? And iced tea, you said?”

Lucas tried to stand again, but Eliana took him by the wrist. He looked at her, surprised and intrigued.

“I’m not hungry for that anymore,” she whispered in a dusky voice. “I’m hungry for you.” A howl tore through her mind as her wolf agreed,

She pulled him to her as she lay on her back on the couch, and he moved with her. She wasn’t wearing a dress like she had the day before. Her outfit was far less formal and far less sexy. But with Lucas straddling her with his long legs dripping over the sides of the loveseat, she had never felt more wanted.

“You are going to be ravenous after this,” he said, smiling and unbuttoning his shirt.

“I’m already ravenous for you,” she growled.

Lucas ripped his shirt off and flung it across the room, making them both chuckle. He then bent down, with one hand caressing her cheek. Eliana closed her eyes and slipped her tongue between her lips. He nuzzled her nose with his, his breathing mingling with her own as they became one.

“You are something, Eliana. Where the hell did you come from?”

Eliana didn’t answer. She merely craned her neck to his, their lips finally touching after an achingly long dry spell. She let out a raspy groan as they collided, and finally, her beast was set free.

She wrapped her legs around his waist as they joined, audibly and fervently, on the loveseat that was significantly too small for them both. But neither seemed to care. All that mattered was that they were together, their bodies wrapped together as one in a pile of limbs.

Lucas helped her remove her shirt and unsnapped her bra. He trailed his mouth down her neck, clavicle, and breasts, and shimmied off her light, flowy skirt. In the shockingly bright light, Eliana could see the blooms of her goosebumps scattered along her body as he kissed her supple thighs.

Lucas warmed her flawlessly, as always, using his quick and talented tongue to easily bring her to orgasm. Her back arched, and she cried out in sensual delight. The strain of her grief flowed out of her, swirling to the ceiling and into the atmosphere.

Eliana wondered if that was what it was like to heal. To let go, to acknowledge and honor at the same time. She felt her entire world coming together as Lucas removed his pants, then lay on top of her, his strong body swallowing hers.

“You’re so beautiful,” he murmured, tilting her chin up to his.

She felt free and wonderful, her body at rest and charged. They captured each other’s mouths as Lucas glided his cock into her pussy, with Eliana letting out a gasp that sounded unfamiliar even to her own ears.

They rocked together on the loveseat, Eliana running her fingertips lightly along Lucas’s mountainous shoulders. She pushed her chest into his, adoring the way her breasts felt against his skin. She curled her legs around him once again, wanting to be as close to him as they could physically become.

Lucas kissed, breathed, and nibbled on her neck as they moved together. Time stood still as they rose to the peak of the physical experience, the climax meaning everything and nothing to them at the same time. The only sounds in the room were their breaths, heaving and gasping.

Eliana had felt so calm and comfortable so quickly with Lucas that he easily brought her to orgasm. He always made sure she came first, though she adored the feeling of his rumbling growl and shaky body as much as she loved her own.

They both let go of the past, crying out each other’s names as all of the tension and fear fell away. Eliana felt like she was in the clouds, kissing Lucas’s neck, face, lips, and chin as her breathing evened. Lucas was still trembling from spilling inside her, and he chuckled.

She laughed with him, holding his head in her hands so delicately.

“I guess that is a five-star review?” she breathed.

“God, if I could give it more, I would,” Lucas replied.

He laid his head on her chest as they continued to tease one another, with Eliana feeling the gallop of her heart and the sweat coating her body with delightful rapture. Lying there with her beloved, listening to the pulse of her heartbeat, was her idea of paradise. If she could snap her fingers and spend the rest of her life right here, she would.

It was a romantic idea that shocked her. She’d never thought about anything like this before. The power of a fated mate was incredible.

Lucas was the first to rise, naked with perspiration reflecting in the light. He couldn’t stop smiling. Which made Eliana not want to ever stop either.

“So, about that sandwich.”
