She grinned and climbed on top of me, her legs straddling my hips. “I don’t want to think any more tonight. I just want to feel you. I want you to chase away all my fears and worries and just let me be enjoy that I have my soulmate. Is that okay?”
“Saraphina,” I growled.
I sat up straight and pulled her closer right as she gripped my shoulders and lowered herself onto me. Our bodies surged together in a single smooth roll of her hips. She threw her head back and gasped. I groaned against her throat then sank my teeth into her skin. My heart thundered in my chest. Warmth spread through my body and low in my stomach. I wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her flush against me. My skin tingled every spot our bare bodies touched.
Together, we moved like riding waves. A sheen of sweat gathered over our skin and the sound of our ragged breaths filled the air around us. Her skin slid over mine in a delicious rhythm I couldn’t get enough of. Her nails dug into my skin with every roll of our bodies. I let her take control, moving at the speed she needed. I gripped her hips and pulled her tighter against me, needing her closer. Her long red hair fanned out around her face and draped over my shoulders. Her low groans filled my ears as she moved over me, finding a rhythm that drove me closer to the edge.
Her pace quickened and I felt myself going with her. Light exploded behind my eyes and I felt myself flying so high the world faded away to nothing. There was only her and me. We were finally us and there was nothing more I needed from her. She whispered my name in my ear over and over. Every muscle in my body tensed. I reached up and took her face in my hands. Our tongues danced and the world melted away.
Chapter Forty-One
Saffie
“Flower gleam and glow…that’s funny” I giggled and ran my fingers through his long blond hair draped over his chest. “I could definitely see you using a frying pan as a weapon.”
“Coincidentally enough, I have.”
“That settles it, you are Rapunzel.” I traced my fingers over the aquamarine crystal glyph on his chest. “Does that make me Eugene?”
“Some days, yet others you’re much more of a Flynn Rider.”
I bit him, though I had no idea why.
“That only proves my point, love.” He chuckled and I felt the rumble from his chest against my face. “I like watching you watch movies. They’re such a wonder for you.”
We’d been laying in bed literally all day long just watching movies and enjoying each other’s company. I couldn’t recall a single day in my entire life that I’d been this happy. And Riah made the best pillow.
I pushed up and rested my arms on his chest. “In October, when The Coven first let me use Lookout Tower and I started watching television and movies…I thought they were real.”
He grinned up at me, his eyes sparkling. “I remember. I particularly enjoyed watching you watch Harry Potter.”
I groaned and rested my forehead on him. “I actually texted Cooper about wanting to meet Hermione. It’s a bit embarrassing now.”
He untucked a hand from behind his head and cupped my face. “Do not be embarrassed. From what I have ascertained of mortal society it is that everyone speaks as if those stories are real.”
My cheeks warmed. I bit my lip. “I love you…even if you are a Hufflepuff.”
He threw his head back and laughed. “Oh, am I now?”
I shrugged. “I don’t know, but I’ve heard people say that so I went with it. Although I don’t understand why. I think Hufflepuffs are wonderful.”
“I hear there is an evaluation you can take to determine which house you’re in.”
I pursed my lips. “I think we must take this examination. I shall ask Tegan, she’ll know.”
Three quick knocks tapped on our door.
I groaned and pressed my face to his chest and whispered, “I can feel her magic from here.”
He chuckled and ran his hand through my hair. “I do believe you summoned her.”
“You know it’s me. I know you know it’s me…” Tegan drawled through the door. “We could stretch this out or you could invite me in.”
I snorted. “Oh, Tegan, won’t you ever come in?”
She materialized just inside our room with her hands on her hips. “Good morning – I mean, evening? Y’all know it’s
