“Is it true that you were just as aggressive with Geris?” I asked.
His face fell. “What?”
“Is it true, Rian?”
“I don't recall it as he does.”
“I think your desire for a mate is making you see more in us than is here.”
“Gods damn him,” Rian muttered before he moved to my bench and took my hands. “I never felt certain that Geris was my mate. I hoped, yes, I admit that, but I never knew. Iknowwith you. I know it, Galin.”
“We've had sex several times now. Have you felt any hint of your mating magic rise?”
“It doesn't work like that. There is no warning. I will simply mate you when the time comes.”
“And what does that involve exactly? Do we just feel closer?”
He cleared his throat and looked away. “There is a physical response.”
“What response?”
“I will ejaculate on you. All over your body. My release will continue for several minutes, pause, then begin again.”
“You're going to cum all over me?” I lifted my brows.
“It won't be semen. When the mating occurs, I will be expelling my essence onto you. The essence will sink into your body and unite with your essence.”
My jaw went loose as I stared at him.
“Galin?” Rian's expression went worried.
“Are you saying that it's more than magic? That we physically unite our souls through this liquid essence?”
He considered that, then nodded. “Yes.”
“Wow.”
“Yes, it's supposed to be quite the experience. And the bond is virtually unbreakable.”
“But you will not feel my essence sink into you. You won't have a portion of my soul in you.”
“No.”
“You would if I were a Dragon.”
“Yes.”
“And this doesn't bother you?”
Rian sighed. “It's a little disappointing, but I'm certain the bliss of mating you will overshadow that.”
“I'm not,” I muttered.
“Must you turn everything dark?”
I looked up at him in surprise. “I don't. I'm a very positive person.”
Rian snorted a laugh.
