I ignore the petulant flare of anger inside me.“I’m sure he did, but now I’m talking about me and I’m talking about you.”I kiss her hard and fast, stealing her breath, reminding her of who she’s in front of.“I’m not going to let them get away with what they’re planning,” I whisper to her, my forehead pressed against hers.“You’re mine to protect until the end.”
“What are you going to do?”she asks, breathing hard.
I run my hand down her face, my thumb over her lips, and so many emotions are battling inside me for dominance, I don’t know which one to let through.
“I want to make a baby with you,” I whisper to her point-blank, staring intensely into her eyes.
They widen in shock.“Wh-what?”
I lean down and kiss her open mouth, drawing her lips against mine for a moment, then pull back and smooth her wet hair off her face.My cock is already hard, already wanting her, wanting this.It always has.“I want to father your children,” I tell her.“I want to breed you.”
She blinks wildly, and I have to smile at how innocent she looks, knowing she’s anything but.
“Crane,” she whispers, placing her hands on my chest.
I bite my lip.“Let me be the one to get you pregnant, sweetwitch.Even if this is something you don’t feel ready for, even if it’s something you never thought about with me, let me be the one to do it.”
“Now?”she asks incredulously, searching my eyes.
I smile and press my lips against her cheeks.“Yes, now.Obviously there’s a chance you might already be pregnant after earlier, but I want to do this with purpose.And I normally wouldn’t be in such a rush, but considering current circumstances, the sooner I can get you with child, the better it will be.Think of the worst-case scenario here.Think about what could happen.”
I don’t want to think about it, but I need her to.
She pulls back with a gasp, looking fearful.“You think that would work?”
“If I get you pregnant before Brom does, then yes.Then their plan is foiled.”
“If they find out, they’ll…”
“They won’t find out.They can’t know.I’ll do everything in my power to stop them from taking you, but in the event the worst happens, this is insurance that you won’t birth the damn anti-Christ and bring about the end of the world.I think it’s worth a shot, don’t you?”
“So you’re only doing this to save the world?”
I can’t help but laugh, holding her bewildered face in my hands.“The world?You are my world, Kat.You’re my everything.And I want you to be the mother of my children.That’s plural, sweet witch.More than one.I want to have many beautiful babies with you.It’s all I’ve wanted from the moment I first saw you.I’m starting to think you don’t realize what exactly you mean to me.”
She swallows hard.“I guess I’m too afraid to see it.In case it isn’t true.”
“It’s true, Kat,” I say, kissing her forehead.“I love you to death.”
“And Brom,” she says warily, searching my eyes.
“If all goes well, if he comes around, like you said, and we all get out of this alive, he’s going to be there too.He’s part of my world, right alongside you, and I’m not forgetting him in this.Whether that grump wants to be there or not.”
She finally smiles at that and looks away for a moment before she slowly nods.“Okay,” she whispers.
“Okay?”I ask, my heart lodged in my chest, afraid of the hope of it all.
She nods.“Okay,” she says, taking my hand and pressing her lips against it.“Put a baby in me.”
“I thought you’d never ask,” I growl.I walk her backward across the room, tugging at her robe until it falls loose, then push her gently down on the bed.She lies beneath me, naked in the moonlight that beams through the window, and I have to remind myself to take it slow with her, slow and easy.She just had both our cocks inside her, and I haven’t even had the time to apply the healing oil to the cuts on her arms and her chest.For all I know she’s still high on the elixir too.
“You’re so beautiful,” I tell her as I discard my robe at my feet and prowl over her.“So beautiful it hurts to look at you sometimes,” I admit.“As if just gazing upon you is a gift, one that you know can be taken away.”
Her throat moves as she swallows and stares up at me.“Then don’t let me be taken away.”
My possession over her, my protectiveness, it roars inside melike a caged animal, infiltrating my veins, making my blood run hot.I pounce, pinning her arms above her head while I slip my hand between her eager thighs.She raises her hips to meet my fingers, and it’s so natural, like instinct, like breathing.
A soft flutter falls from her lips as her legs spread for me and I find purchase in her wet cunt, feeling her desire and my seed from earlier.
