“Tsk, tsk.” I tousled my hair. “You will have to wait your turn too.”
Kade rolled his eyes at his shadows, but his attention never left my body, allowing his gaze to roam up and down.
Slow and seductive. That was what I wanted this dance to be for Kade. Edging him in the best possible way. Grabbing the hem of my shirt, I lifted it higher, slipping it over my head, swinging my hips and losing myself in the moment. I let go of my fears, of my insecurities, and any feeling of unworthiness I'd clung to for so long.
Swaying to a beat in my own head, I ran my hands over my body, moving down toward my pants. I drank in the sight of Kade’s cock straining against his pants as he observed my movements. I grinned when he planted his hands on the bed, gripping the sheets as if he barely contained himself from reaching out to me.
“Not yet,” I purred, shaking my finger at him. “I’ve still got clothes to remove.” I lifted my foot and placed it on the edge of the bed. Reaching down, I exaggerated my every movement, removing my slipper from my foot, pulling myself back up before doing the same with the other.
“You’re so fucking beautiful.”
Kade’s shadows took matters into their own hands and untied the string holding my pants up so they fell to my ankles.
“Naughty shadows.” The light inside of me poured out of my palms quickly, mixing with the shadows. Pure unadulterated happiness filled every crevice of my body as my magic sang alongside Kade’s.
I swore our magics themselves were mates too with how they acted.
Unable to control himself anymore, Kade threw off his shirt and removed his pants. “You can’t expect me to sit here watching you and not do something about it,” he groaned, falling back onto the bed. Kade stroked his cock as I continued to stand before him, wrapped in shadows and light, swaying to the rhythm of our magic.
“I am done waiting for you, Little Rebel,” Kade growled as he rubbed his palm over the tip of his member. “Get over here now, so I can bury myself inside of you.”
Tying my hair in a low bun, I made my way back on the bed and straddled Kade. He wrapped a hand around the back of my neck, pulling me to him, his thumb stroking against my pulse point. I expected rough desperation behind Kade’s kiss. Instead, our lips grazed each other, soft and tenderly. Hands exploring thoroughly as if both of us knew the other needed to touch every inch and memorize this moment.
This time felt like so much more. Despite the raw hunger throbbing inside of me, our movements weren’t hurried. This wasn’t anything but genuine love between the two of us, yearning, delicious passion that we allowed to consume us slowly. Fates, I’d allow Kade’s love to consume me for eternity.
Unable to resist him any further, I lowered myself onto his ready cock inch by inch, moaning into his ear.
“Fates, you’re so fucking wet for me,” Kade groaned.
I shifted to pull back, craving to set us on a rhythm that would take him deeper, but he grasped my hips, stilling me.
“Ah, ah,” he grinned up at me. “It’s my turn now.”
His shadows slipped around my wrists, tugging them together behind my back, pulling me until I arched slightly. Another slid up the back of my neck and into my hair, tugging it ever so slightly.
Kade and his shadows held me in place as his lust-filled gaze devoured me. I whimpered, squirming around his length, needing it deeper.
“You look so beautiful tied up in my shadows.” Kade sat up, taking one of my nipples in his mouth and biting.
I cried out, shifting my hips.
He didn’t let me pull him any deeper. I felt his smile against my skin as he tenderly licked my other nipple. “I think I could get used to this sight.”
“Please,” I begged. My body had devolved into a quivering mess. The only thing that would make it better just out of my reach.
Kade pulled out, lying back down on the bed as his hands gripped my waist. Before I could beg again, he plunged into me. “So pretty when you beg,” he praised. His hands caressed over my hips, trailed by more of his shadows, both entwining with my light and touching me. My body rested fully in Kade’s control, as he slammed into me again and again. Stroke after stroke, the pleasure inside of me built until I was gasping for breath, body tightening, chasing the high only he brought me to. Kade rubbed my clit with his thumb in slow circles, igniting another fire inside of me.
“More, Kade,” I pleaded as I writhed on top of him.
He obeyed willingly. “Such a good fucking girl.”Thrust.“You’re mine.”Thrust.“You’ll always be mine.” He repeated the phrase through his own moans of pleasure.
His shadows tightened in my hair as Kade drove me higher until my orgasm hit in rolling waves. I screamed his name as I trembled in the aftershocks.
Breathless and glowing, I shivered with contentment as both of our magics buzzed with excitement, ready for more. We were all far from satiated.
His shadows loosened, letting go of me with tender caresses. I brought my forehead to Kade’s as I caught my breath before he kissed me once more. “The Fates did one thing right,” he whispered, running his tongue slowly over mine. “They brought me to you. I will never be able to thank you enough for saving me from myself. For letting me beme. For seeing beyond my past, what I was forced to do. You accepted every dark part of me with open arms and looked at me as if I still shone bright. You never turned your back on me, on us. You are my salvation, Lana.”
My heart burst with the love I had for this man. I ran the tips of my fingers up and down his arm, and goose bumps appeared in a trail. “For you, my love—my mate—there is no mountain I wouldn’t climb. No darkness I wouldn’t face to stand by your side. There is only me and you.”
