Snap.
Together.
They were one.
Quentin came with no other stimulation and felt Jaks do the same inside of him.
For the first time in his life, Quentin felt complete.
CHAPTER4
Quentin woke from his after-sex nap and magical overload, on a real mattress with a sexy vampire lying beneath him.
A glance around revealed he was in his mother’s bed.
Ugh.
Although he had no proof, he doubted his mother had remained celibate his entire life.
“Don’t worry, I changed the sheets,” Jaks’s amused voice spoke above him.
Quentin snorted and rubbed his cheek against the bare chest beneath it.“How did you know what I was thinking?”
“You mentioned to me before that you didn’t want to sleep in your mother’s bed, but I wasn’t about to leave you on the couch, and my back didn’t appreciate the nap we had earlier.”
“It’s because you’re old, right?”Quentin blinked innocently up at him, then screamed with laughter when Jaks dug his fingers into Quentin’s side.
“S-stop.”
“You should be nicer to me.”Jaks tickled him a little longer before stopping and smoothing a hand down Quentin’s bare back.
Vague memories of crackling magic filled his blank mind.His magic hummed deep in his chest, calm and smooth in a way he’d never experienced before.“I feel better.What happened?”
Until now, he hadn’t realized how twitchy he’d become.
Jaks didn’t respond right away, but when he did, his voice had the hushed tone of someone who’d witnessed something sacred.“We bonded.”
Quentin frowned.“I thought we were already bonded.How many times do we need to bond?”
Jaks rubbed Quentin’s back.“We were bonded in the way of my people.Now we are bonded in your way.”
“I don’t think wizards have a bonding technique other than the usual marriage.”
“Not wizards, Fae.We bonded in the way of your father’s people.I felt your magic touch my soul.If I concentrate hard enough, I can feel your heartbeat in my still, cold chest.”
“What does that mean for us?”
“Nothing it didn’t mean before.We were bound together before.Only now I almost feel human.I can’t use your magic, but I can feel it pulsing beneath your skin.Is that how you always feel?”
“I’m not sure.What are you sensing?”
“As if a current of energy is surging through me.”
Quentin shrugged.“I guess.I mean, it’s not like I’ve ever felt any different.I don’t have a comparison.”
Jaks kissed the top of Quentin’s head.“You are even more remarkable than I thought, beloved.I am blessed, which is a strange thing since most think we are a cursed race.”
“Do you?”
