And it’s not a quick shag in a stall in the ladies in a pub, either, thank the feckin’ Goddess for small favors.
So there was that.
When she scooped Tamsin into her arms, the corgi let out a playfulyipof surprise.Aisling raced down the hall with her to Tamsin’s room, tossing her onto the bed, where she landed with a laugh that twisted Aisling’s heart even tighter around the sweet little corgi shifter.Aisling closed the door, made sure it was locked, and then nearly launched herself across the room to land on the mattress next to Tamsin.
Tamsin was already reaching for her, fisting Aisling’s shirt and pulling her in for another long, deep kiss.
They both moaned, the vibration rippling through Aisling’s soul and realigning every atom, with Tamsin now forming the nucleus.
This is perfection.
Had she thought she understood mate bonds before?Ha!
It felt like her soul had finally been plugged in and was powered by the Universe, lifting the darkness she’d long ago grown used to living with as a default and natural state of being.
She tasted like lavender and curry and?—
“What did you have for lunch, love?”Aisling asked.
“Leftover curry that was in the fridge that Carl didn’t want the rest of, and lavender mint tea.Why?”
“Ah.Just wondering.Interesting combination.I love it.New favorite scent.”She slanted her lips over Tamsin’s again as Tamsin ground against Aisling’s thigh.
Aisling cupped Tamsin’s ass through her jeans and held on, trying to shove her own brain out of the way so she could just feckin’enjoythis with no other thoughts pecking away at her.
Tasmin cupped her face in her hands and stared into Aisling’s eyes.“You do have a noisy mind.”She playfully smiled.
Aisling flipped her onto her back, straddling her.“Is that so, pet?Maybe I know what’ll make both of our brains shut down for a little while.
Tamsin reached down to work on her own fly.“I think you’re absolutely right about that.”
Aisling leaned in and kissed a trail along Tamsin’s jaw, down her neck, lingering at the hollow of her throat.As she traced and teased with the tip of her tongue, Tamsin made the most adorable mewling noises and arched up against her.
“Shh,” Aisling whispered, lightly grazing her teeth along her flesh.“No need to rush.I want to take my time.”
Tamsin’s fingers clamped around Aisling’s shoulders, digging in.“Can we take our time the second time and rush this one?”
Aisling laughed.“No.Besides, you came once already.Don’t think I missed that, ye cheeky thing.”
That earned her another adorable whine of protest from Tamsin.
Ohhhh, yes.Thisis what perfection feels like.Please, Goddess, don’t take it from me.
Tamsin
Just the friction of her grinding on Aisling’s thigh had nearly made Tamsin come again until Aisling flipped her onto her back.
Staring up into her green eyes, Tamsin marveled at this miracle.
Yes, she’d always hurt, always grieve Maisie and Rupert.
Always wish they’d had more time together.That Rupert could’ve found a guy for him and been happy.
Always think of them when looking at her baby girl.
Always regret they didn’t have more time together.
Always.
