I stare at her face. “I know.”
“I’m ready, Ez.” There’s the most genuine look of happiness on her face.
I’ve seen Rose laid out before me in the past, but this is different. This is more than the gift of her body, more than any sort of base fun.
This is something sacred. Something forged in the story of the stars.
I hold her head and position myself. Her chest heaves beneath me, and I wonder if she’s nervous.
I wonder ifI’mnervous.
There is no doubt in me that I will show my woman the furthest reaches of pleasure, but I’m nervous about something else. For how this changes who I am. I’ve always known there was darkness living inside of me … That I brought pain to those who got too close. What does it mean for me to—
Rosalina softly smacks my cheek, and I focus back on her. “Stop it,” she says fiercely. “Stop thinking and just love me, Ez. That’s all I want.”
Just love.
I can do that.
I can do that.
My mate captures my mouth and my mind, and I enter her body and into oblivion all at once.
It’s like no feeling I’ve ever experienced before. This … This is what life is. Her warmth around my cock, fitting me like we were crafted in the same forge. She wraps her legs around my hips, dragging me deeper.
Most glorious of all is her face, her eyes shining, mouth in a trembling smile. How of all the fae in the realm do I deserve her? My chest feels heavy and light all at once, a bursting sensation that simmers like coals and burns like fire.
I lean down to suck her breast into my mouth, reveling in her moan of pleasure. She rakes her fingers into my hair; how wonderful it is to be touched, to feel her skin against my face. Is this what it is to be seen? Is this what it is like to see for the first time?
We twist so I’m on my back and she’s riding me. My mate. My beautiful, funny, strong, kind mate who sits upon my cock like it’s a throne.
“Ezryn,” Rose breathes, dragging her hands through my chest hair. “I love you.”
“I love you too, Rose.” I’m holding tight to a semblance of restraint, my cock thoroughly ravished by the up and down movement of her pussy.
She bucks hard, her hips grinding down. Her breasts bounce, and I have to squeeze them before I lose my mind. “Your cock is so good,” she sighs.
“You take it like a queen.”
Her breath is ragged and stuttering now. “Then worship me,” she growls. “Give me your cum.”
“Anything for my mate,” I say lowly. “And you’re going to come with me.”
I grab her hips, lifting her to the tip of my cock before plunging her down. A breathless plea escapes her, and her eyes ignite with a sultry flame. I don’t stop—and she doesn’t, either. She meets me stroke for stroke. Our gazes never leave each other, and it’s an unspoken connection—we will find bliss together.
I know you.Her sweet voice is a caress in my mind.
I know you.And as I say the words within her, my body responds. Light streaks across my vision as I explode. A roar breaks out of me, and her cry is equally feral, fingernails raking down my chest. I feel her tighten and pulse around my cock, only making me come harder. My seed erupts deep within her.
A beat passes. Our gazes never break. Tears stream down her face, but she’s smiling.
Smiling at me.
And I know something has happened—something greater than even the sealing of a mate bond. We have forged this bond so tightly that nothing will ever tear us apart.
