“I love you so much, Lucy Brown. Even when my brain didn’t know, my heart and soul never forgot.”
His whispered affirmation floated through my brain and lit up my soul like all the lights in Times Square. To know the man I had fallen in love with when I was a little girl loved me precisely the same way made me so happy. I thought I could come up with a million cookie recipes, a thousand muffin recipes, and even a few cake ones without straining my brain.
"And I love you, Noel. I have always loved you, even when I was too young to know what Fate had planned for us. It was always you, and I thank the Great Goddess that I have all those wonderful memories back."
I belonged to someone, and he belonged to me, just like all the texts I'd ever read and all the stories I'd ever been told said would happen. It was true. It was for real. And it damn sure wasn't like how they described Gryla and her son. It was spot-on and perfect.
It was better than Kismet, Fate, and Destiny all rolled into one. We were meant to be together just like cookies and cream, cake and icing, and coffee and donuts. (Hey! A bunch of law enforcement officers can’t be wrong.)
Through all the B.S. his aunt and uncle had caused, we'd found each other just like my cousins and his cousins. Years had passed, loads of shit had happened – as it's prone to do – but our love, our Fate, the true Destiny of Lucy Abigail Bliss Brown and Noel Alexander Archer was intact. We were together just like the Universe and the Great Goddess planned even before we were a twinkle in our dads' eyes.
It was as if we were sharing the same thoughts. I felt our hearts beating as one. My Magic reached for his. His soul met mine in the middle, and our love exploded. Passion flew between us. Magic, the pure, beautiful kind that can only come from two people so much in love they can't help but shout it from the mountaintops, filled the room.
Slipping my shirt up my back, he moved so quickly I didn't even have time to miss him before his lips returned to mine. I only had a bra on my top half, and he whispered,"Thank everyone everywhere, the Universe, the Great Goddess, all The Powers That Be, and most definitely the Goddess Brigid for you, Lucy Abigail Bliss Brown. Whether I was aware or not, whether my memories were front and center or hidden behind some wall of Mystical mischief, you have always been my anchor, my reason for putting one foot in front of the other, and the tether that kept me grounded and always looking for you."
Kissing across my jaw and down my neck, my amazingly wonderful Dragon stoked the flames within me until I was grinding against his denim-covered erection and trying hard not to Magically strip us both naked. Pulling his lips from my heated skin, Noel leaned back as far as my comfy chair would allow and looked me in the eye.
The ticking of the clock in the hallway echoed through the room. Time stood still. It was the most perfect moment of my life. Then he spoke, and my heart overflowed with love.
“Are you sure, Luce?”
He called me Luce, just like he had when we were kids, and the butterflies started to dance the Jitterbug. Goosebumps did the macarena all over my body, and I just couldn't get the words out of my mouth. So, I did the only thing I could: I nodded emphatically – like bopped my head with so much gusto my curls fell in my face, and my booty bounced up and down on Noel's lap.
Sucking air through his teeth, flames jumped to life in his eyes as his hands tightened on my waist. Slowly shaking his head, my Dragon Man whispered, "If you're not sure, we need to stop right this minute."
At that moment, my heart grew wings. Not real wings like Noel's Dragon King, but wispy wings of love that made me feel like I could do absolutely anything. It was the most empowering and awe-inspiring event of my entire life.
Knowing the man made for me by the Universe, the man I loved more than my famous peanut butter chocolate chip extra special cookies, was putting my needs before his was the greatest gift – aside from him – that I had ever been given. No man had ever done that for me.
(Not that there had been a lot of others. But give a Witch a break. I have lived a long time, and sometimes a Witch has got to do what a Witch has got to do, if you know what I mean.)
I could no longer hold back. I wanted Noel more than I wanted my breath, more than I wanted coffee every single minute of every single day, and more than I wanted to replay Goddess Brigid telling Ginger she had to leave me alone. I wanted my man, and I wanted him right that very minute.
Since my hands were still sitting on his broad shoulders, I pulled him close, laid my lips to his, and answered with a scorching kiss that left no room for misinterpretation. Returning my affection and then some, Noel put his hands on my butt, gripped the pleasingly plump globes, and stood straight up. Forced to wrap my legs around his waist, I gasped when he started walking, and our bodies met in a new, exciting way.
Eating up the floor with his long, confident steps, I was seriously about to combust when my Dragon Man gently laid me on the bed. Kissing down my body, he stood up and looked at me like I was the best thing he’d ever seen and returned the look with a little wiggle of my hips.
“Oh, Luce. You are the best-lookin’ thing I’ve ever seen.”
Giving him a wink, I magically removed all our clothes and, in my best Mae West impression, sassed, "You don't look bad yourself."
With the same shit-eating grin he'd given me when we were kids, my Mate waggled his eyebrows and returned my wink just to make me laugh. That was my Noel, always thinking of me, always making sure everything was perfect, always just freaking amazing.
“So, what tricks have you got, Dragon Man?” I purred, unable to take my eyes off the sculpted muscles of his chest and abs.
Crawling onto the bed and over me, Noel growled in exactly the right way, “Oh, beautiful Lucy, my love, you have no idea.”
The feel of his hard, muscled body, like sculpted stone wrapped in the finest silk, against my soft, voluptuous curves felt as if I'd come home for the very first time. His calloused hands seemed to touch not only my body but my soul. His hips pushing against mine held me in place as his erection smoothly slid between the wet, swollen lips of my pussy.
Rolling his hips, the head of his cock teased the tip of my throbbing clit on every pass. My hips flew off the bed, meeting his with every thrust, creating an erotic rhythm that pushed our passion over the moon, past the stars, and into orbit.
My excitement grew, the proof wetting the inside of my thighs and the front of his as Noel’s lips left mine. Kissing down my neck and across my chest, he slid his hands under my butt, lifting my hips higher as his cock slipped from my body.
Moaning at the loss, unable to form a coherent sentence, I begged, “No, Noel… No… Please, don’t go… I need…”
Knowing what I wanted even before I did, his lips wrapped around my hardened nipple as his teeth gently bit the base, and the tip of his tongue teased my sensitive flesh. Shivering in unison at the sensory overload, Noel's arm slid around my waist while his opposite hand wound and curved its way south.
Taking as much of my breast into his mouth as he could, Noel continued to torture first one and then the other until I was a writhing mass of want and need beneath him. Sliding first one, and then almost immediately, another finger deep inside me, I screamed his name as he drove his digits in and out with unrelenting precision.
