He rewards me with another tiny lightning bolt.
I gasp and squirm against the soft sheets while digging my fingers into his forearm.
“So fucking perfect,” Draven murmurs.
Pleasure streaks through me as he removes his hand and instead positions his cock at my entrance. Then another deep moan rips from my lungs as he thrusts inside. Finally releasing my throat, he slides his hand over my jaw instead as he leans down and steals that moan from my lips with a possessive kiss.
I wrap one hand around the back of his neck and draw the other over his wings while he fucks me exactly the way I want him to. Like I’m his and he is mine.
Because he is.
This broody, domineering, troublesome dragon shifter is all mine. And Goddess help anyone who ever tries to take him from me. We have walked through the fires of hell together. We have fought our way back to each other through magic and enemies and death. There is nothing that can break us now. Nothing that can keep us apart. Because we are one. Heart. Body. And soul.
Laying ourselves completely bare for each other in that bed, I drink in every second of it. Of him. And as pleasure washes through me as the orgasm hits, I share the intense emotion with him through our mate bond while he does the same to me. Our very souls thrum with one unmistakable word as we hold each other’s gaze.Mine.
And when the sun at last rises from the sea again, neither of us has slept much. But it doesn’t matter. I could live off this feeling forever. This feeling of being us. Fully and completely us.
Lying there on the soft sheets, we gaze out at the slowly rising sun. With my back pressed against Draven’s chest, I can feel the steady beat of his heart. His arm is draped over my body, holding me close to him. His warmth, his scent, his entire presence, is wrapped around me as we lie there on our sides, watching the sun rise from the glittering sea.
“What do you think they will be like?” I ask.
His warm breath caresses the side of my neck as he replies, “Who?”
“Our kids.” I smile at the images that fill my mind. “Half fae, half dragon shifter. I wonder what they will be like.”
“Well, they’reourkids. So naturally, they’ll be troublesome, bossy, stubborn, sneaky?—”
“Broody. Don’t forget broody.”
“And broody.” He kisses my shoulder, and I can feel his smile against my skin. “And absolutely, utterly perfect.”
A smile spreads across my own mouth. “Yes. Yes, I think so too.”
Comfortable silence settles over the warm bed as we just liethere, looking out at the sparkling waves and the golden light that fills the clear blue sky.
“But first, I want an adventure,” I say, gazing out at the vast sky above the sea. “I want to see every inch of this beautiful and messy world.” Twisting around in his arms, I look up to meet his eyes instead. “I want to experience it all with you, Draven.”
He smiles. Leaning down, he kisses me tenderly. “And I with you, Selena.”
“So we really are leaving today, aren’t we?”
“Yes, we really are.”
Giddy excitement floods my body. After stealing one more kiss from him, I jump up from the bed. “Then what are we waiting for?”
He laughs.
After getting ready and flying down to the edge of the island, we find ourselves standing side by side, staring out at the endless sea before us.
My heart thrums.
A new dawn is breaking.
Another era of this world begins.
“This is it,” I say. “This is how it starts.”
“A new life,” Draven replies. “A new beginning.”
