back. He paused only long enough to smear more lube on his dick, and then he was pressing inside of Aiden before stretching out on top of him. Some of his earlier driving need returned, but his concern for Aiden and his heart was more pressing. Sliding his arms under Aiden, Ronan gripped his shoulders tightly, holding him completely captive.
“Aiden, look at me,” Ronan commanded roughly. Aiden blinked, gazing at him with beautiful amber eyes. The wariness that had haunted those eyes for so long was gone, and Aiden looked up at him with only love and trust. “There will never be anyone else. You’re everything to me. You’re all I’ve ever wanted. I fell for you as a human, and in the past few days, I’ve fallen all over again as I’ve discovered who you’ve become in the past centuries. And I plan to spend my remaining years proving that I’m worthy of you.”
“You’re mine,” Aiden whispered. His trembling fingers touched Ronan’s cheek and swept up to brush the sweaty hair from his eyes.
“My heart, body, and soul belong to you,” Ronan confirmed, thrusting deep inside.
Aiden moaned and bowed his back in pleasure. He wrapped his legs around Ronan’s hips. “Harder. Oh God, my love, harder please.”
Ronan could follow Aiden’s wishes. He’d give everything of himself to this man. His breath. His last drop of blood.
The room was filled with the sounds of slapping skin, broken pants, and cries of pleasure. His orgasm was building again, and he could feel Aiden’s leaking cock rubbing against his abdomen. His lover was so damn close. He needed to send Aiden over first.
“Bite me,” Aiden whispered. At first Ronan was sure he’d imagined it, but then he heard Aiden’s rough whisper again. “Please, Ronan. Bite me. Make me yours.”
There was no stopping his fangs from sliding down. The thought of tasting Aiden was too compelling. Slowing his thrusts, Ronan buried his face in Aiden’s neck and licked along the rapidly fluttering artery. He struck fast and Aiden shouted. The rich taste of Aiden was accompanied by a rush of pure joy. Aiden’s body clenched tightly around him while his cum painted both their stomachs and chests.
He allowed himself only a couple of swallows and lifted his mouth. His orgasm was teetering on the edge, but he didn’t want to go over just yet.
“Aiden, please,” he ground out between clenched teeth.
He didn’t need to say more. Strong arms wrapped around him a second before sharp fangs sank deep. The world exploded into brilliant white. All he could do was cling desperately to Aiden while he came deep inside of his welcoming body. Nothing had ever felt so perfect, so alive. Brain cells were fried to dust, and every nerve tingled as if he’d been struck by lightning.
When thought returned to his brain, he simply collapsed on top of Aiden. He couldn’t move. He was never, ever going to move again. He was probably crushing Aiden, though. He needed to move. But couldn’t.
With a little grunt, Aiden rolled them onto their sides and licked the freshly healed spot where he’d bitten Ronan, sending a shiver through his body.
“Biting…biting we’ve got to save…for special occasions,” Ronan panted.
Aiden breathlessly chuckled. “Definitely.”
Ronan opened his eyes and found himself staring into happy amber eyes. Old worries and aches faded with just one look from Aiden. He could feel Aiden’s heart pounding against his chest, the sweat and cum running along their flesh. The moment he’d dreamed of for so long was here, and it was real, and it was so much more than he’d hoped for.
“You’re my everything, Aiden,” Ronan murmured. “I know this is happening fast, but I’m not clinging to some old idea of who you were. I can see clearly that you’re the same man I loved who is dedicated to his principles, but you’re also a man devoted to his sons, who still loves his first mate and will always love her. I’m grateful for what you found with your Julianna, because it gave me a chance to find you now.”
“My prince,” Aiden whispered, and the words wrapped tight around his heart. How he’d missed those words from his old friend and now lover. Over and over in his head, he’d imagined what Aiden had been really saying with those words.
I believe in you.
I trust you.
I love you.
Now he could hear all the meanings in those two words.
“Do you remember that night in the forest, just a day’s ride from home?” Aiden asked suddenly.
