“Oh, oh, oh!”
Her whole body stiffened, then she clenched tight around me, right before waves of pleasure washed through her body. I rode each one out, only stopping when she went limp on the bed. One last little lick had her shuddering, then I rose up, only to flop down beside her.
“That was…” Hazy eyed, blissed out, it was a good look for my girl. I’d make sure she felt like that every day of her life going forward. Right now, I pulled her close, my eyes falling closed as I sank into the feeling of her in my arms. “Is that what it’s usually like?”
Her little voice had me opening one eye.
“Can’t speak for other people, but us?” I pressed a kiss to her head. “Always.”
“But what about you?” she asked, wriggling in my grip. “This can’t be a one-sided thing.”
“It won’t be.” I snuggled down closer. “We have our whole lives to… Whoa!”
I was pushed onto my back and when Fern rose to stare down at me, I stared right back. Men talked about getting sick of the sight of their wives, but I didn’t understand it. Her curves stole my attention, which meant my cock was still throbbing hard, a state she noticed.
“Does this work the same way for men as it does women?” she asked, caressing me lightly. That was enough to have my teeth grinding together. “If I put my mouth?—”
“You want me?” Something had me pushing her onto her back, then pinning her to the bed with my body. “You want all of me Fern?” That little nod, it killed me. “Gods, help me, woman. My defences are down and I cannot promise to be on my best behaviour, so if this isn’t what you want…”
Her thighs spread wider, allowing me to nestle between them, and that was when I felt the wet kiss of her cunt.
“You’re what I want, Lorien.” She held up Dain’s ring. “Make me your wife, please.”
The please was what did me in. My cock notched at her entrance, then I sank into her heat.
“Oh… Oh…!”
“That damn sound again.” My forehead pressed against hers. “Tell me you’re alright, sweetheart. Tell me I didn’t hurt you.”
“No…” Her hands roamed across my back. “Quite the opposite.”
My eyes flicked up to stare into hers, so I caught the moment when she registered my first thrust. A painful looking pleasure, that had to be what she was feeling, because it pulsed through me too, making clear I wanted to stay like this forever, but would never manage it.
“Gods, you feel good. Lass…” My mouth fell upon hers. I needed to be in her, deeper and deeper, until we were no longer separate entities and were fused into one. I told her that, and that she was perfect. That I was so damn happy she was the person I was sharing this with. That I’d never felt anything so good. That?—
“Shh…” Feverishly, she pressed a finger to my lips. “I know. I feel it too. Gods help me, I feel…”
Lost in the sensation of each other, we rocked in tandem. Our pace grew faster and faster, because who could resist this feeling? One of wholeness, an experience I never expected to have and was all the more sweeter as a result.
“Fern…” I rasped. “Fern…!”
Her body gave me the cue, tightening up then fluttering around my length as her gasps filled the room. I followed her lead, erupting inside her. The bliss that came next was so complete, so sweet, my vision went white for just a moment.
You have claimed your mate,‘Fang said as the last waves shuddered through me.Now she is yours forever.
“Mine forever,” I agreed as I fell down on the bed, her cradled in my arms. “You’ll never get free of me now.”
“Forever…” she agreed, as her breathing evened out, then slowed.

“Stop looking over at the cottage,” Dain said.
We were all sitting around a community fire and some of Lance’s friends had come to join us. There was meat roasting and cold bottles of beer handed out, and yet my attention was somewhere else.
“I’m being very good,” I shot back. “I haven’t gone in there to put the bedrolls on the floor. I?—”
