“Thank you, Dani. I’m sure I’ll have questions.”

“I’m sure you will. Your yurt is almost directly across the camp from ours. It’s really nice. Tevryn spent a lot of time making it beautiful and functional. Seeing as you have a Craftsman house, I figure you’ll enjoy his improvements.” And then to Warrick, “And you, my beautiful hunk of dragon, come and take me to bed.”

“As you wish,” Warrick said, sweeping her up in his arms.

“They’re really in love, aren’t they?” she asked.

“They are. Those two are each other’s eternal flame, what most shifters call a ‘fated mate.’”

Wrapping his arm around her, he walked her through the camp, pointing out various things and introducing her to those who were still awake. They wandered up to his yurt and he opened the door before scooping her up and carrying her inside.

Dani and her friends had done a lot more than just tidy the place up. It was spotlessly clean, there were lit candles everywhere, and his large copper tub was filled with hot, fragrant water in front of the fire.

“That steam smells wonderful,” said Delaney, who seemed to have become suddenly shy.

“It’ll be fine, baby. I’m the same man I was last night, only now there are no more secrets between us.”

He helped her out of her clothes and into the hot water, helping her to ease down into the decadent, luxurious tub. Delaney leaned her head back and moaned in pure pleasure.

“I’ve never been much for soaking in tubs, but I could get used to this. It’s wonderful.”

Tevryn took a large, soft rag, soaped it up and began to wash her body with care and reverence. He needed her to understand in the depths of her soul what she meant to him. He leaned her forward, supporting her body with one hand while he soaped and then rinsed her back. Gently he washed her front, paying close and affectionate attention to her breasts, nipples, and between her legs, which parted easily. He washed and kneaded her muscles from the inside juncture of her legs to her torso all the way down to her feet, which he massaged, making her wiggle with sensual delight.

Once he had her body clean, he leaned her back and used a jug to thoroughly saturate her hair before adding shampoo and using his fingers to not only clean her hair but stimulate her scalp. He rinsed away the shampoo and did the same thing with a conditioner. He really did owe Dani. He’d never used shampoo and conditioner on his hair in his life but given the way Delaney was sighing with her eyes closed and just letting him take care of her, it was something he knew he wanted to do.

He let her rest, just soaking in the tub until the water began to cool and brought over a tray of meats and cheeses.

“I think they were afraid I’d be so busy fucking you, I’d forget to feed you,” he chuckled.

“And the problem with that is?” she asked provocatively.

By the time they’d finished feeding each other, the water was turning chilly. Tevryn lifted her out of the tub, stood her in front of the fire, and dried her with a warm towel before picking her up and depositing her in his bed for the first time—one he’d picked up in New Orleans before the Civil War. She looked as if she had always belonged there.

Tevryn crawled onto the bed, rumbling seductively at her. He worked his way from her feet, squeezing, licking, and kissing his way up until he was hovering parallel over her body. Delaney’s eyes eased open, and she stared boldly into his, any hint of her earlier shyness gone. He lowered himself in a slow display of strength and control, parting her thighs and settling himself between them. Lining up his cock, he reached beneath her, cupping her ass and tilting her hips so that her sheath was in perfect alignment with his shaft.

Slowly and deliberately, he sank into her wet heat, groaning as he did so. Nothing ever felt as perfect and right as when he joined his body to hers. Delaney arched her back, clinging to his biceps as he began thrusting in and out, savoring her response. She nibbled on his collarbone as over and over he drove into her relentlessly.

He could feel the start of her orgasm as her breathing became erratic and she wrapped herself around him—her legs intertwining with his as she held him close. The first telltale contractions all up and down his length made him chuckle as she arched her back, stiffening in his arms for just a moment before relaxing with a sigh.

He continued to pound into her until she orgasmed again, her nails digging into his back as she cried out his name. Tevryn realized that the whole of his existence—these thousands of years, and all he had endured—had led him to this, and nothing that came before mattered. From this time forward, she would be the center of his universe. He understood now why in the past members of the Phantom Fire had been forced to leave the brotherhood when they found their eternal flame. Their souls were united. They were one and the same and would never be complete without the other.

Harder and faster, he thrust into her depths, only to draw back, hesitate, and plunge forward again. Her pussy began to ripple along his cock as if it were spasming in a singular orgasm that left her crying out and clinging to him as if she needed something to anchor her to the Earth. She writhed beneath him as he took every ounce of her pleasure and gave it back to her.

Tevryn held her close, not allowing her to move, as he fucked her with a ruthless and primal passion. He knew he should be more gentle, but he didn’t care. He needed her to understand she was his, and they would be together forever until the end of time.

With that thought, Tevryn let slip his control as he began to strive for his own release. He had taken everything she had to give. His cock began to swell as his balls drew up and his cum spilled itself into her. Nuzzling her, he captured her mouth, bruising her lips with his as his cock throbbed and twitched, spurting out the last drops of his essence.

When he was done, he gave her his weight. She snuggled against him and neither had any interest in separating. His need to be buried deep within her was in equal measure to his need to keep her safe and keep his spirit bound with hers. Delaney snaked her arms around his neck, joining her body more closely to his as she rubbed her nipples against his chest.

Tevryn felt them stiffening. Reaching under her, he grasped her ass and rolled to his back so that she rested on top of his body.

“And I didn’t think you could top the flying or the hot bath in front of the fire. Boy, was I wrong.”

Her body was soft and warm, and he could feel the deep, even breathing that indicated she had fallen asleep still joined with him. If he hadn’t thought it would make her sore come morning, he’d have left her that way. Instead, he eased her from his body and rolled to her side so that he could spoon with her from behind.

Tevryn wasn’t so much a fool that he believed all their problems and arguments were behind them, but he knew they would deal with them as they came up. Making sure they were both comfortable, he settled next to her and fell asleep, dreaming of their future and all the good there was to come.

The following morning, Tevryn slipped from their bed and joined Warrick and Sobek in the interrogation cells, which had been hollowed out deep in the mountains. They were dark, cold, and intimidating.
