“Shoulders down. Spread your legs for me,” I crooned, stroking my hand over the curve of her ass.

Celeste sighed, then did as I requested, shoving the pillows out of the way to lower herself to the bed as she spread her knees apart and raised her rear.

“Gorgeous,” I said, sighing. Without warning, I pressed two fingers deep inside her, already soaking after my earlier ministrations. This time, Celeste groaned. It was a quiet noise, but as her head hung lower, I saw her resist the urge to bite her lip.

“Yes, that’s it,khuya,” I growled, pleased. “That’s my good girl.” I curved my fingers, massaging her tight walls before adding a third.

“Fen—Fenris,” she whimpered, a tiny shake in her voice.

“Yes, my darling?” I murmured, leaning down to drop a butterfly kiss on the small of her back. I did not stop moving my fingers, methodically stroking them in and out. “What is it?”

She sucked in a breath like she was drowning. “Oh,” she said as she clenched the sheets. “Oh, that feels…that feels sogood.”

I could have purred. “Good,” I said, working my fingers longer before I withdrew. With one hand on the inside of her thigh, I pressed her legs further apart, adjusting as I lined the tip of my cock with her slick lips.

We both groaned as if shocked by the mere touch. She canted her hips, rocking backward against me as I brushed her, enjoying her arousal.

“Fenris, please,” she sighed, lashes fluttering. “I want you…” She took another breath. “Ineedyou.”

As if I could ever deny her, much less when she was looking at me likethat. Growling under my breath, I realigned myself and pushed inside in one steady thrust, inch by slow inch. Her heat enveloped me, and it was all I could do to keep my senses about me. She groaned as I bottomed out, and I draped myself over her, propping myself on one arm as I pressed my chest against her back.

Celeste groaned again, and I paused as I nuzzled against her ear. “I’m not crushing you, am I?” I murmured quietly, barely able to hold myself still.

She shook her head. “No, I…I love feeling you like this,” she whispered back, her lips curling. “How strong you are. Howbigyou are.”

My cock twitched, and I nipped at her ear before pulling my face away. I couldn’t trust myself to stay that close to her neck for too long, not when we were this intimate. “You take me so beautifully,” I murmured, looping my free arm beneath her, cupping one of her perfect tits. “Look at you,khuya. You are like the moon herself.” Mysterious, yet so dependable. I knew I could always rely on Celeste.

She gasped as I tweaked a nipple, practically writhing beneath me as I built up a steady rhythm, rocking in and out of her. She clenched down, fisting the bedsheets as I moaned and picked up the pace. “Harder,” she whispered, reaching down to play with her own clit. Her fingers traced over where my cock had disappeared in her, and we both groaned. “That’s so hot…”

I smiled. “Anything for you.” I increased my pace, aware my own climax was looming ever closer. “I want you to come for me, my beautiful girl. You have been so good. Now, give me that.”

“Fenris, I…” She shuddered.

“I know you can,” I insisted, kneading into her skin. “Come for me. Comewithme.”

She gasped as if I’d said the magic words and jolted, clamping down on me as her orgasm suddenly rocked her. Her moans and cries fell from her freely, and I leaned against her, offering my weight as I joined her moments later, my release a sweet relief as I covered her shoulders in kisses.

“Good,” I panted. “You are so, so good, mykhuya.”

As we caught our breath and came down off the rush, I rolled onto my side and draped my arm over Celeste, pulling her closer until her bare back pressed against my chest. I smiled, enjoying the quiet moment, her calming scent of orange blossom and clean cotton. When I closed my eyes, I could imagine us on the warm sands of somewhere remote. Peaceful.

I nosed Celeste’s hair. “I have an idea,” I said softly.

“Mhm?” she said.

“Let’s go somewhere beautiful while the eclipse occurs. Somewhere far away from Peru.” That was where the Solar Sovereign would assume I’d be, and his followers would arrive there to apprehend me. “A private cabana on an island in Thailand. Or the Maldives. I’ve never been there.”

A new place always intrigued me—and being somewhere more remote would afford us more privacy. It would mean that Celeste and I would be together during my most vulnerable moments. If the Solar Sovereign did instruct her to kill me, I’d have to restrain her, but…it was still better than the alternative.

Celeste sighed heavily, but didn’t say anything.

If we went this route, I could call off the preparations the Order of the Stars were undertaking, the allies I’d summoned could all return to their homes, and no one would risk themselves on my behalf. “Our friends will be able to engage in their lives as usual,” I said when the silence stretched on too long.

There would be no ritual, and I’d eventually be in the position in which Celeste met me—alone and suffering, with no hope of relief. But I would at least have her memory with me.

Finally, Celeste rolled over so we were chest to chest, her expression morose as she studied one of my tattoos instead of looking at me. She didn’t say anything as her fingers traced the dark ink, but as I closed my eyes and inhaled, I received a vision of us, somewhere I recognized—Paris. It wasn’t a memory, however, as I’d never been there with Celeste.

A vibrant purple sunset, highlighted with pink and golden clouds, supplied a glorious backdrop for Notre Dame. Celeste held my hand as she stared up in awe at the old cathedral. She pointed, turning to grin at me, before tugging on my hand and leading us closer. When I took a breath, the vision faded away, and instead I saw bright blue.
