Once we joined souls, I'd unerringly know his feelings and the nature of his thoughts. In turn, he would know mine.
I released the spell muting our bond. His cock twitched and I realized he hadn't come with me. I'd rectify that soon enough.
"Have you ever been in love before?" I asked.
We were fated mates, but my experience with my parents taught me a harsh lesson about fate and love.
Warm hands rubbed up and down my spine soothingly. "No. Not until now."
He kissed the corner of my mouth. "Not until I met this ravishing female with ebony hair and a golden soul."
Another kiss, nearly chaste, landed on the other corner. "Not until she sassed me and showed me her wit, then her inner strength and her spine of steel. When I saw the lengths she would go to in order to protect those she loved, I knew I wanted to be on that list and provide the same in return."
He paused. Searching my face. "And you, Raven? Have you ever been in love?"
"No. Not until now."
Casimir went eerily still. A turbulence of emotion flew up and down the bond.

Silvery eyes darkened to coal. Sure hands deftly lifted me aloft and spun me face down, sideways over his lap. His giant mitt roved one globe of my backside, then pinched.
"What are you doing?" I laughed over my shoulder.
Casimir wasn't laughing. "Teaching my mate a lesson before I fuck her into submission."
"Oh really?" My abdominals tightened, curious where this was going.
"Really."
Slap!
Air expelled harshly out of my lungs as the sting of blood rose to the palmprint that surely marked my ass. "Cas–"
Slap!
"You will never run away from me again," he ordered.
My skin was afire, igniting my indignation. "I was coming back!"
Slap! Slap!He alternated sides.
"Never again, Raven. Vow it."
"I ..."
