“How about a dance?” he seemed to hesitate but then sighed. “Do you want me to still call you Jasmine when we’re—”
I moved my fingers over his lips and nodded, touched he was worried about this. “Yes, I’m Jasmine. I’m making peace with Angela, but now that I actually told that stupid town that I grew up in that Angela died, I’m ready to just be Jasmine. People change their names all of the time. It’s who I am.”
“Good for you. Really, I mean it.” He gave me a soft kiss. “How about a dance?”
“Always.”
Wedge shoes didn’t work well for that, so I took them off and we moved to the area rug by the sofa. I thought we were going to go all out like normal, but he put on something soft and easy, holding me as we swayed together.
It was ridiculously cute and sweet… And exactly what I needed.
I leaned my head on his shoulder and danced with him, realizing there was one thing I wanted to make this perfect. “Don’t hide from me tonight, Mason. You use it as much as I do glamour.”
“That’s more than fair,” he agreed, letting out a slow breath before letting me feel his desires.
And fuck did he want me. All he wanted was me.
I angled my head and he did too so we could kiss. It was soft and seductive, not rushed but filled with so much promise.
“I love you, Jasmine,” he whispered.
“Really?” I breathed, shocked he was actually saying it even if I suspected he was there.
He nodded, leaning away so we could see each other better. “I know you’re not there, and that’s okay. I know how you feel about me, and years of feeling what everyone else wants—you need more time to heal before you can tell someone something so important.”
“Thank you.” That was amazing for him to realize and accept, and I kissed him again.
“I just wanted to say it to you before you learned from my desire, and I know I’ll have the desire for you to say it back.ButI want you to hear me right now that I don’t want you to until you’re ready. That is what I want most, muffin, okay?”
“Okay.” I slid my hand in his hair and kissed him again. “Thank you for loving me and being so amazing to me.”
“You are more than deserving,” he promised.
“Mason, take me to bed.”
He softly groaned and then I was up in his arms. He carried me upstairs, and I gasped as I saw the trail of rose petals in the hallway to our room. Then they were all over the room and bed.
“This is…” I wasn’t sure what to say. “Amazing” didn’t seem to quite cover it but also sounded cheesy in my head. So I went how I felt about him as well. “Perfect. This is perfect.”
He set me on the bed before moving around the room and lighting candles he’d set up. Then he stopped in front of me and kneeled. He let out a slow breath and put his hands on my legs under the skirt. “I want to finish inside of you. I want you to be the first time I have sex bare.”
I went to immediately tell him that I wanted that too, but then realized he was leading me to something. “What does it mean if you do that?”
He smiled at me like he was proud that I was learning to protect myself better. “It makes you mine.” He cleared his throat when I flinched and then hurried on to elaborate. “It’s not mating. It’s like a claim to other warlocks that you’re mine and they risk the wrath of whoever you’re with if they touch you. We can sense it.”
“There’s more,” I hedged.
“Yes, but Iswearto you that it’s not bad, it’s not trapping you or anything. It’s… A perk. I just want…”
He wanted to know I would let him do it before he told me the benefits. I fully understood that. More than he knew given how many had tried to use me after learning I was more than a demon but the ultimate weapon.
I leaned in and gave him a soft kiss. “I want you to finish on me, in me, and down my throat, Mason. All of me is yours now just as you’re mine. It’s not a promise forever, but what we are now.”
“You’re now and forever my goddess,” he whispered, cupping my face before taking the kiss up a notch. “But I don’t want to feel conflicted the first time we’re together. If you want to give me head in the morning, fuck, please do. Tonight is giving us the perfect first time and making you mine.”
He pushed me back on the bed and moved over me, his hand massaging my breast as we kissed. His other hand moved to my ass as he ground our hips together.
“Can I take off your dress?” he whispered against my lips.
