“Our place,” Jeremiah murmured. “If you’re sure?”
Remi cradled Jeremiah’s face between both palms and looked him directly in the eye. “I have never been more sure about anything in my entire life. You are my home now. It’s time for me to take charge of my future. So let’s go, because now that I have you, not even the gods themselves can take you away.”
Jeremiah grinned, then kissed him again.
EPILOGUE
JEREMIAH
“Come on, little brat. I think you can be a little nicer when you beg me.”
“I hate you,” Remi spat, his tail writhing in the water.
Jeremiah threw his head back, laughing at the sight of his beloved so needy, so tormented. He loved it because Remi loved it, and through their bond, he could feel Remi’s pleasure and desperation as he sat with just the head of his cock pressed into Remi’s slit. His cock was just behind that, pulsing, desperate to unsheathe, but Jeremiah kept him plugged.
“Hmm. That didn’t sound nice at all. It seems like my pretty little Siren doesn’t want my knot.”
Remi groaned, his head falling back, tail thrashing and making waves against the side of the pool. His scales were more plentiful in his full shift and flashing in the sun. “I’m going to fucking die, baby. I’m literally going to die.”
“You know I’d never let that happen,” Jeremiah promised, his voice a low growl. He knew that Remi’s words were spoken out of passion, but they were a little hard to hear after everything they’d been through.
They were safe now, having traded in Jeremiah’s top-floor penthouse for a cozy house near the Trident Agency’s headquarters. It was a bond gift from the queen and king, who had taken Remi not wanting to live at the palace remarkably well. They visited often, Remi not able to go too many days without seeing the twins. While they loved everything about their home and building a life together, the large saltwater pool in the private backyard was their favorite feature.
Extending his claws, Jeremiah dragged the edge of one over Remi’s throat, then down his chest. He flicked at his nipples, then dragged them along his waist, where his skin turned to scales at the beginning of his gorgeous tail. He knew how sensitive it was there for him, and Remi moaned so loudly he was pretty sure his cries were heard all the way to the mountains.
“Jeremiah. Please. Please, I need you. I need your knot.” His whine went a little high-pitched and melodic, like a gorgeous Siren Song attempting to drag Jeremiah under his spell.
His cock throbbed, and he could feel the base start to swell. Withdrawing his claws, he dug two fingers into Remi’s slit, spreading it wide enough for Remi’s cock to finally extend, and as it did, Jeremiah thrust his own in.
Remi howled. His head fell back, and his body trembled as Jeremiah thrust his hips fast and furious into his tight, slick heat. “Touch me. Touch me, baby. I’m so fucking close.”
Jeremiah didn’t need to be asked twice. He got his hand around Remi’s wet, throbbing cock and stroked him with the same rhythm as he fucked him, and it wasn’t long before he felt Remi’s orgasm rising and cresting. His own followed almost at the same time, and he squeezed down on Remi’s cock just as they both let go.
Feeling them both was still overwhelming for Jeremiah. His vision whited out as his knot swelled, locking himself inside Remi as his lover spilled in the water between them. The scent was overwhelming, and his fangs dropped seconds before he sank them into Remi’s skin. His blood was sweet, the bond even sweeter, and he licked the wounds before burying his face in Remi’s neck.
“Love you, love you, love you,” Remi was whispering, drawing his own claws along Jeremiah’s naked back.
Jeremiah let himself just exist, his knot pulsing and filling Remi, marking him from the inside out. Never in his life did he think he could be so content—so loved. So happy.
“I feel that,” Remi said with a playful laugh, but his tone sobered. “I hope someday you’ll stop being surprised by how much I fucking adore you.”
Jeremiah pulled back, his beast calm and satiated under his skin from the closeness of the bond and the coolness of the water. “I don’t. It’s precious to me. I never, ever want to get complacent.”
Remi surged forward and kissed him, his slit spasming around Jeremiah’s knot, sending another wave of pleasure through them both. He groaned, which turned into a soft purr, and Remi sagged against him as his spent cock gave a feeble twitch against Jeremiah’s stomach.
“Are you happy?” Jeremiah finally asked.
“With you? Or do you mean with… everything?”
“Both. I never want you to feel any kind of regret,” he answered.
Remi reached up, absently playing with a wet lock of Jeremiah’s hair. “If I hadn’t met you yet—like, if it was years before I met you—I think I would have made the same choice to come home. I love my family, and I don’t feel as disconnected from Midlona as I did before. I feel… ready. To take on whatever comes next.”
Jeremiah just nodded. “We’ll take it on together.”
“That’s my favorite part.”
It was clear the royal family adored each other, and although it was less now, Jeremiah still felt a small tendril of envy curling around his stomach for what he’d never been given the chance to have. He looked down at Remi, and he had a sudden vision of their future.
