No complaints found here. I would spend eternity inside her if it were physically possible.
I should look into an ancient spell for that. The Gods are horny bastards so I’m sure they have one.
My mouth tilted into a smirk, and I gently lifted her chin, brushing my lips over hers.
The relief I’d felt after theTwilightsurged from me, engulfing Natasha of its own volition, and leaving her unharmed couldn’t be expressed. Deep inside me, I feared only ashes would remain of her, but theTwilightrecognized her essence, confirming she was the one I’d been waiting for…
For almost two hundred years I had lived only for the promise ofher. A vow made to me by Hecate, after the woman I thought could heal my tortured soul was consumed by my darkness. I had almost destroyed the entire village after her loss.
Hecate promised a woman, whose fate intertwined with mine, would be born. A soul weaved from the threads of bothdarknessandlight.
And now, she was finally in my arms.
“Only you calm the turmoil of my darkened soul, Cuore mio…”I sent the whisper into her unconscious mind through theTwilight, knowing her wolf welcomed it even when Natasha still didn’t understand.
I was a patient man. I could certainly wait a bit longer for her to realize how she truly felt for me, and how deeply our lives were connected.
Just a few days though. I wasn’tthatpatient.
Closing my lips over hers, I gently pulled her from Morpheus’ arms with my kiss—theGod of Sleep and Dreamshad no place between us. From this day on, Natasha only belonged in my embrace… and D’s,andHannes, but that was another conversation entirely, one I wasn’t sure she was ready to have yet. Perhaps, after she learned the truth.
As her first, I was meant to open the door forus. To stir awake the seed ofTwilightthat existed within her, to incite recognition, comfort, and familiarity to help herfeelour presence inside her soul—the dormant bond we shared and that had always been there. The way she gave in to me last night assured me she felt our bond as strongly as we did, so the door was now wide open.
And what an honor that was.
Natasha surrendered to what she felt for me from the first day, without even knowing the full truth about me, aboutus, and it solidified what we were to each other. The Great Moon Goddess had interlaced our souls, and the Viscountess, our destinies.
Deep inside, I knew she sensed that.
Hannes, D, Natasha, and I were connected in a way that defied time, reason, or race.
Our lazy kiss grew into a fully-fledged, need-filled embrace, her nails dragging down my back just like they did last night. Granted, last night her wolf had made an appearance, claws scratching my skin most deliciously.
I mean, it’s not fun without a bit of pain, is it?
“Dante…” she moaned into my mouth when my hands gripped her ass, pressing her into my growing hardness, and squeezing it until I gently pulled her delicate skin open.
“I love it when you moan my name,” I whispered, claiming her mouth harder, while my fingertip teased her entrance. Her hips rocked against my touch, showing how powerful her wolf’s heat was, and helping me feel how drenched she was for me.
She was so fucking perfect.
When D said he would burn the entire world for her, he hadn’t even scratched the surface. Because like me, he’d also loved her for the past five years, even though she didn’t even know we existed. I would not only burn the world for her, but I would eradicate its charred remains into the eternal night until there was nothing left.
I didn’t care who went down with it, as long as she was safe.
Turning our bodies, Natasha laid on top of me, her legs skillfully opening to straddle me, pressing her center into my now throbbing hardness.
“Well, good morning to you too,” I rasped when she rubbed against me, drenching my entire shaft with her need.
Fuck.
Okay, that was enough.
Gripping her hips, I lifted her off me before I lost myself in her and turned our bodies again. There were too many important things to take care of this morning, especially after theRavenWovels’attack.
The truth was, I hadn’t been able to fully recharge since the mountain, so I was getting weak. No force on this earth would force me to let theTwilighttake me while Natasha was still unconscious, and needed me.
I hated that those bastards had found her here.
