“I can promise that.” Cupping her jaw, I kiss her softly, swallowing her moan of pleasure as her softness presses to me, so warm and alive.
So mine.
“Take me home,” I murmur into her lips as she shivers against me. “Make me yours again.”
Keeping my hand in hers, she speeds up, leading me through the forest. It’s only when she turns to me, dragging me inside the house with a deep kiss, that I realise Vale and Lucien have disappeared—probably to give us our space. I send up a silent thanks. I don’t mind sharing my girl, but right now, I need her. I need to feel like I’m enough like this, and it’s clear she’s determined to show me as she slides her hands down my body. The echoing, painful reminder of the soft way she touches me is so similar to that of us making love before this all happened.
We were trying to feel like forever then, but now we have it, and we don’t have to rush. Still, our lips meet faster. Our pain, worry, and grief are conveyed in that kiss, bringing tears to my eyes.
She backs into the house, her hands never leaving me. I burn her taste into my human heart. I can’t smell her desire as well anymore or memorise the tiny imperfections in her skin—all two hundred and seven of them—but she is alive. She’s here, in my arms, and nothing else matters.
We fall into her bed, rolling as our hands explore each other as if it’s the first time all over again. Our gasps are loud as our bare skin rubs together.
“I missed you. I missed you so much,” she whispers, her hair creating a curtain around us, her bright eyes consuming me as desire burns through me.
“I missed you too,” I admit. “Though it was no time for me. I am sorry I was gone for even a second, Quinn.”
She swallows hard, her eyes searching mine. “Don’t do it again, not for a minute.”
“I promise,” I murmur as I flip us, making her squeal as I grin and wiggle my eyebrows. “I might be human, baby, but I still have tricks.” I drag my mouth down her neck, biting at the juncture between her neck and shoulder with human teeth. “Like how I know being bitten and licked here drives you wild.”
“Jai,” she gasps, gripping my hair as her chest arches up, her skin glowing with moon magic.
Smiling, I slide down her body, stopping to place a gentle kiss over her healing heart. The fact that she missed me this much kills me as well as heals that hole losing my family created. I am loved, and I am needed. I see it in every touch now, every look. It pieces me back together, leaving this once broken man whole.
She did that. She loved me at my worst, and now I’ll make sure she gets to love me at my best.
I may be human once more, but I will love as deeply as any beast can. I will hand over my human heart and body to her and beg for it to be enough.
“It felt like I couldn’t breathe without you, as if the air had been stolen from my lungs,” she mumbles as I kiss her trembling belly.
She reaches down, grips my chin, and pulls me up until she can kiss me again.
“My soul was splintered, Jai, so don’t you ever dare think I wouldn’t want you, even as a human. I’ll take you any way I can get you, just don’t ever leave me again. I can’t handle it. It destroyed me.”
Cupping her face, I lean down and kiss her gently. “Never. I love you, Quinn. Now and forever.”
“Then show me. I need you too much to wait. I lost you, Jai. I held your lifeless body, now remind me you’re alive. Remind me you’re mine.” Her legs wrap around me, the strength in them almost painful, but I’d never tell her.
Let her hurt me.
Let her destroy me.
I crawled to her in death, and now I worship her in life.
Our lips meet again, like the moon and the stars joining forces. Something passionate and bright blooms between us as her hands slide down my back, gripping my ass, and with flowing movements, I slide deep into my girl.
I swallow her gasp as we come together, as we rejoice in life, and I’m reborn in her arms once more.
Our lips never once break apart. We do not need air; we just need each other.
Our bodies move with familiar, loving movements.
Pleasure spirals between us, our souls joined, mated, even if they can never fully be.
The hunter and the wolf.
We don’t need words, just each other, and I show her that. I show her with my body that I’m here, that I’m hers, until the last star dies in the sky.
