Reece's chest rumbled as his left hand traveled up into my loose hair, fingers tangling into the length as he pulled me into him for a kiss. As our lips met, a tinge of desperation burned between us. Both of us were struggling with thealmostwe’d just experienced.Almostdying.Almostlosing our chance to be a family.Almostfailing in our mission.
Needing to be closer, I slid across his lap, pressing into his body, wanting to feel every inch of him. Reece’s hands and energy stripped my clothing away in seconds, the armor and weapons sailing across to the sand. Tearing at his shirt, I pressed my lips to his chest, which rumbled under my touch. “Are you strong enough?” he rasped, holding onto my hair again, his tongue licking the water from my skin as well.
"More than strong enough," I moaned. My energy was well above the level needed to love my mate, and if anything was going to heal the empty parts of my soul, it was Reece.
Needing this more than my next breath, I groaned. "We have to hurry. I honestly don't think I can wait."
This spurred Reece on. As he lifted me higher, I managed to get rid of his pants and boots while running my hands along the length of his burning body. His cock was the hottest part of all, jerking in my hand when I wrapped my palm around his length. In this moment, we were need and want, moving without thought, the recent events pushing our instincts to base level.
Some might think it was uncaring to make love on the same moon others had lost their lives, especially Alistair, but the truth was, we took this opportunity because none of us were promised tomorrow. I’d watched Reece die in front of me, felt that cold emptiness of our bond dissolving. This moment here in the grotto was one I’d never expected to have, and I wouldn’t waste a second.
As I lifted my body so I could slide down his hard length, I groaned when I ended up fully seated, the emptiness all but gone now. Reece had so much power, and with our bond and his cock filling me, there was no room to feel my losses. Rocking into him, the pleasure was instant, everything heightened by what we’d lived through. Reece soon took control, the slow movements picking up speed as he lifted me to strongly thrust into my aching pussy. He leaned down and wrapped his lips around my right nipple, sucking the erect tip into his mouth. I cried out, my hands closing around the back of his head, holding him in place, while also giving me leverage to stay seated.
He moved onto the left nipple, biting down, and my orgasm hit hard as my hips moved more erratically, riding out my release. Reece didn't stop there, turning me on his lap so that I was facing the opposite way. This angle allowed him to thrust more powerfully, and even as my head spun from the sensation, my second release was already building.
His fingers played with my clit in time to the thrusts, and as I cried out again, his hand slid back around my body to my ass, parting my cheeks so he could push against my entrance there.
“Are you ready for another first?” he murmured. “Another boundary I want to push with you?”
“Yes,” I moaned without hesitation. There was very little in this world that Reece could do to me that I wouldn’t enjoy.
His laugh was low and satisfied. “That’s my warrior.”
The heat of his power slid over my spine, and I arched, but his cock never left my pussy as I’d expected. Instead he continued to fuck me in slow, forceful thrusts, and… damn. Just when I was about to ask some questions, because hello… pushing boundaries, I saw his red sands mingling with the silver sands before me. The pair swirled and merged, accompanied by a blast of heat that melted them into a very smooth phallus-shaped object.
When it disappeared over my head, controlled by his energy, I had a very good idea what the plan was.
Fire burned through me as Reece’s palm on my spine pushed me vertical. He still fucked me with those long, sure strokes, and as I cried out, face only inches from the water, the smooth head of his dildo pressed against my ass. As the tip entered me, a golden-red light illuminated the air, and I turned my head to see that Reece, filled with power, was looking much more godlike than he had before his rebirth.
"Wha—" I groaned, my words cut off as he pushed his new toy further into my ass, slow at first, even as the thrusts of his cock never eased. By the time the smooth piece was deep inside me, my body felt so full. Reece let out a low groan. “Fuck, Lale. I’ve never seen anything hotter than this moment, fucking your ass and pussy.”
I cried out, screaming as my body tightened over both “cocks,” sending me into an orgasm so intense I was fairly sure I was about to black out again. Reece's energy was the only thing that kept me from drowning in the waters, his strength holding me up as I rode out the longest release of my damn life. All too soon, Reece followed me over the edge, and I thanked every damn being that we were still alive to have this moment.
Alive and finally able to plan a future.
Together.
54
By the time we'd been in the grotto long enough to recover my energy from the fight—and for Reece to give me a dozen or more orgasms—no part of my essence felt empty or alone. My family remained with me in my heart and memories—a truth I saw clearly now that I’d lost all the layers of my worlds.
I’d held onto those layers with a sort of desperation that shamed me. True power could never be taken away; the layers were a crutch I’d clung to for far too long.
“We need to return to the library,” Reece murmured when we were dozing on the silver sands, warm and content. “But there’s somewhere I want to take you first.”
Lifting my right hand, I pressed it to my chest. "I can feel Mera in our bond," I said. "She's calm, if a little irritated. We have some time."
He was up in a flash, and before I knew it, we were out of the grotto. This time, silver sands remained on my body. “Your connection to our child and grotto grows stronger,” Reece noted.
I rubbed a few grains between my fingers and smiled at the silver power filling my well. “This is going to take some getting used to,” I noted.
Reece wrapped his arms around me, red sands rising up to lift us from the ground. “We’ll figure it out together,” he told me, and for once, I let that push all other thoughts aside.
Together was exactly what we needed.
As his sands took us across the deserts, I figured out quickly where we were heading: Rohami.
“Why are we going home?” I asked, lifting my face to breathe in the familiar scent and energy of his land. Even if, technically, he was more closely connected to Delfora, Rohami was his blood.
