“I won’t mind because you’ll be there with me.”
She squirms in my lap, pressing closer against me. “I think I only have one more question then.”
“Whatever you want to know, Char. You can ask me anythin’.”
“You said the Mountain’s Call is real, right?”
“Yeah…”
“That means we have tocompletethe Call…right?” she asks.
“We do…” I rasp, half amused and a whole lot of turned on.
“Then it’s ourdutyto make sure the prophecy is properly completed.”
“Let’s go,” I growl, already lifting her up and walking back to the truck.
“Austin! The blanket!”
“I’ll get it later,” I mutter like a man on a mission.
A mission that involves me, Char, and driving the truck back to the cabin.

CHARLIE
The sun has already started its slow descent beyond the horizon, casting the cabin in a warm golden light by the time we tumble through the door. We onlyjustmake it to Austin's bedroom before our hands are all over each other, barely pulling our mouths apart while our hands roam all over one another. Our clothing comes off piece by piece, leaving a trail from the doorway as we walk backward to the bed.
Austin's eyes burn hot as he pushes me gently back onto the mattress, his hands skimming over my skin like a scorching flame. I arch into his touch, every brush of his lips, and caress of his hand driving me crazy with lust and need and want.
I’m trembling, a delicious shiver racing down my spine at the sheer electricity pulsing in the room. He climbs over me, cloaking my body with his as he claims my mouth with a searing kiss, igniting a wildfire decades in the making.
Time seems to stand still, the world around us fading away. All that matters is the two of us, finally consummating our love and claiming a fate that was ours all along.
After tearing his lips from mine, he moves down to my throat, burying his face there. His peppered kisses all over my sensitive skin making my heart pound and my body soar. I dig my fingers into his back as he runs his tongue along my collarbone and down, tasting a trail between my breasts before bracing himself on one arm and taking in my naked form.
Licking his lips, he cups me before dipping down and wrapping his mouth around my nipple, drawing deep until my back arches off the mattress and a desperate moan escapes me.
I slide my hands into his hair and run my fingers through the silky strands while he moves further down the bed–and my body–his eyes watching me the entire time. My breath catches when he wedges himself between my legs and brings his mouth close to my most sensitive part.
“You have no idea how long I’ve wanted you…” he murmurs roughly before slowly swiping his tongue through my soaked seam. He proves he’s a quick study when he moves his attention to the swollen bundle of nerves that makes me writhe and squirm against him.
“Not… as… long… as I… have. Damn, you’re good at that,” I pant as he dives in again, devouring me and letting out a deep guttural growl that I canfeelas well as hear.
I fist the comforter just like Austin’s hands are holding my hips. Then he starts rocking me back and forth, sending my need and lust for the man and everything he’s doing to me higher and higher.
“Please, love. I want to feel you too. Want you. So damn much,” I moan.
He lifts his head, smirking at me with big blown pupils before he surges back over me, claiming my mouth once again. “Love you, Char. So damn much.”
“You too,” I say between biting kisses, our tongues waging a war we both will win as our bodies rub against each other, his hard length rocking into my pelvis.
With a strength I didn’t know I had in me, I plant a foot on the bed and use everything I have in me to roll him over onto his back, leaving me sitting astride him and looking down into his amused, aroused gaze.
“Now you’ve got me here. What are ‘ya goin’ to do with me, doc?”
“It’smytime to explore…” I drag my hand down from his jaw to his chest, raking my fingers through the light smattering of hair covering his skin. Circling the tips of my fingers around his flat nipples, I dip my head and trace around them with my tongue, loving the groans I’m pulling out of him.
