“Will you trust me?” he asked.
She hesitated only a second before she whispered, “Yes.”
Ronan pressed a kiss to the inside of her thigh. “Close your eyes and focus on how it feels,” he directed. “If you want me to stop, just say it and I will.”
Dominique didn’t hesitate this time, doing exactly what he asked.
He lowered his mouth to her clit again, giving it a light flick with his tongue. As he deepened the caress, taking the swollen flesh into his mouth, he pressed the tip of his thumb against her ass.
Her body shifted and he heard her inhale sharply, but she didn’t tell him to stop. Taking that as a sign to continue, he let his shadows part her pussy and slip inside. Though he couldn’t feel her clench around them, he did feel the way her ass pulsed beneath his thumb.
He took his time, bringing her closer and closer to climax with his mouth and magic, rubbing his thumb over her ass and letting her grow accustomed to the pressure. As her breath began to come in pants and her abdomen tensed, Ronan gathered more of the wetness that dripped from her and gradually pressed the tip of his thumb through the tight ring of muscle.
Her body clutched at him, squeezing him, and Ronan decided that someday, he would fuck her here.
The thought made his cock leak. Fighting for control, he began to devour her clit as his shadows fucked her pussy faster. With each thrust of his magic, he pushed his thumb deeper inside her until she’d taken it completely.
Her body trembled violently at the intrusion, but she moaned his name. When his mouth paused, she cried, “Don’t stop!”
Ronan could feel the tension in her and knew that she was almost ready to come. Though he was tempted to draw it out, he was ready to claim his wife and mark her.
He sucked her clit harder, rubbing the bud with his tongue, and fucked her ass with his thumb. Within seconds, she cried out, her body arching hard against the bonds of his magic.
Unable to wait any longer, Ronan removed his magic from her pussy and slowly withdrew his thumb from her ass. He knelt between her thighs and used his shadows to pull her hips up and impale her on his cock.
Dominique’s eyes flew open, their aquamarine depths flaring with pleasure and shock. Her muscles twitched around his length as her orgasm continued.
Wanting her hands on him, Ronan released her from the bonds of his shadows and moved over her. Dominique’s arms went around his back, her nails digging into him on each side of his spine as he withdrew from her and thrust in again, hard and deep.
Her legs twined around his hips, pulling him closer and allowing her to move with him.
Their coupling was fierce as he moved inside her, not fast, but with slow, powerful thrusts that would have pushed her up the mattress had he not shoved an arm beneath her and curved a hand around the base of her neck.
Feeling the pleasure building inside him, Ronan lowered his mouth to Dominique’s throat, sucking and licking the spothe intended to sink his teeth into. She cried out as her body tightened around him again, signaling her impending orgasm.
Fisting the hair at the base of her neck, Ronan tilted her head to the side and sank his teeth into the tender spot where her neck and shoulder met. Her hips lifted as her legs squeezed him tighter, and her pussy pulsed hard as she climaxed.
The magic inside him swelled as his own release hit him and he slammed his cock deep inside her one last time. When his mouth released her throat, Dominique reared up and sank her teeth into the top of his pectoral. It should have hurt, but when her lips closed around her teeth and she sucked, he swore he could feel an answering pull at his cock.
Their bodies rocked together as the final fragments of their bond melded, creating a soul-deep connection between them in a blink.
“You will always belong to me,” Ronan groaned, burying his face in her hair.
“And you will be mine forever,” Dominique answered.
Though he regretted the way he’d treated her in the beginning, Ronan realized that he never would have had her, or this moment, if he hadn’t been an unbearable ass. It would always pain him to think of those early days, but he couldn’t bring himself to wish them away.
Finally accepting that things had happened between them the way they were supposed to, Ronan wrapped both arms around his wife, his soulmate, and held her tightly.
Whatever happened next, they would handle it together.
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
Dominique wasn’tsure what to expect when they returned to the human realm.
The past few days felt surreal, as though it had occurred in another dimension.
As Ronan drove back toward the city, he reached over and took her hand, interlacing their fingers. The back of her hand rested against his thigh. It was a small thing—holding hands this way—but it was something she’d always wanted. It was the comfort of a simple touch from the man she loved.
