“Your secret’s safe with me.” She leaned up on her tiptoes and kissed me. “I didn’t think I believed in fate.”
“Me neither.”
“I’m very glad I was wrong.”
I grinned. “Me too.”
“I love you, Arri—do I call you Arric?”
“Yeah, baby. I’m still Arric. I’ll always be Arric in here,” I said, patting my chest, “because Arric is who you fell in love with.”
She blinked back tears. “Yeah, he is.”
“I love you, Isla. Forever.”
“I love you too, honey. Forever.”
I kissed her once more before taking her back to her family and letting the love these amazing people heaped upon us to settle deep in my soul.
I’d found my home.
Isla
ARRIC CLOSED MY bedroom door and pulled me into his arms. It had been almost two weeks since our big battle, and my father had insisted we stay with them for a while until they were sure the threat was eliminated. I had no issue with that, whatsoever, but was admittedly surprised when Arric didn’t argue either.
“The priority is making you safe,” he’d said, and kissed me gently.
Kade, Brodie, and my father had taken care of the intruders that had been left behind. There weren’t many, and come to find out, most of them had been under Sindri’s control so once he was dead, they were released from his hold.
It had actually been one of the guards who’d killed Gillian’s mate, once he was in his right mind. Haddi was free to bring the oracles into the forefront of the Cauld Ane and Kalt Einn alike, and he had plans for the council, which Arric would be heading. We didn’t know how it would look, but we knew it would be led by integrity and love, rather than power and fear.
Now was now, and we’d had a super fun dinner with just the seven of us, then we’d bowed out of Pictionary because I needed to get my husband naked.
We removed our clothes in speedy fashion, and Arric kissed me as he dropped me onto the bed gently, sliding my arms above my head as he buried himself deep.
Make us fly, love, I begged.
Wrap your legs around me.
I did as he instructed and then I felt air hit my back and I dropped my head back. There was nothing impeding me from arching deep and I smiled as I held onto Arric’s arms and lifted my hips, taking him deeper as we floated off the bed.
He shifted, his feet going to the mattress as I kept my legs around him. I was high enough to touch the ceiling and his dick was buried to the hilt inside of me.
“Ride me, baby.”
I lowered my head to meet his eyes. “Standing up like this?”
He grinned. “Yeah. You think you can do it?”
“Hell yes, I can do it,” I retorted, bracing my hands on his shoulders, keeping my legs tight around his waist, and rocking against him until I found my rhythm.
Keeping us connected, he flopped onto his back and I landed surprisingly softly onto his chest. His dick was still buried deep, and he thrust up sliding his hands to my breasts to cup them. I settled my palms on his thighs, shifting so I had more traction, and rode him while he rolled my nipples into tight buds.
“You wanna go somewhere?” he panted out.
I met his eyes, continuing to impale myself. “Yes, definitely.”
Dropping my head back, I closed my eyes and was suddenly back in my field of heather, Arric now on top of me, burying himself deeper and deeper, faster and faster.
