to show you. I think her power is still there. Where she connected to the Source, anyway.”
I turned in his arms and touched his face. “Her power was and is within you, my love.”
He searched my face, the hint of tears glistening in his eyes. But he smiled. There was no more room for sadness.
He slid his hand down, resting it against the flat plane of my stomach. Someday, perhaps soon, it might swell with the new life we would make together. A daughter perhaps, with golden hair and fire in her eyes. But I knew in my heart the children we bore would be pure wolf shifters. Glorious. Strong. Feisty. And they’d give me trouble just like their father.
“I want you,” he whispered.
“Thank goodness,” I replied.
I rose. Peeling my dress off, I stood before him. Naked. Wanting. Hungry.
Archer went to his knees. He slid one arm around my legs, sliding it up until he cupped my ass. He gripped me tight, possessive.
“Yes,” I gasped.
“This is mine,” he said, spanking me.
“Yes!”
“Show me what else is mine,” he commanded.
“Everything,” I answered.
“Show me!”
I threw my head back and parted my legs. With two fingers, I spread myself for him, exposing my tiny, sensitive bud to the air and Archer’s inspection.
“What else is mine?”
With my other hand, I squeezed one nipple, then the other.
“On your knees,” he ordered. “Now!”
I complied. I would always comply. As I dug my fingers into the soft earth, blue and gold fire crackled beneath me.
“Wider,” he whispered, his voice husky with lust.
God. I was wet. Dripping. I would do anything for him. Follow any command he gave. Whatever part of me he wanted to ravage. I needed it. Craved it. Would die for it.
I repositioned myself, pulling my knees further apart. I rested my weight on my elbows. From this angle he had a perfect view of me.
Letting out a wicked laugh, Archer stroked me. He slid his fingers along my slippery folds. Teasing. Coaxing. Owning.
“Archer,” I begged. “Please!”
“All in good time,” he said.
My legs quivered. My whole body ached for his. My sex pulsed. The secret spot at the base of my neck throbbed. Tonight. My God. It would finally happen tonight. Why had we waited so long? I knew what I was. What we were to each other. The moment I met this man, I should have just gone to my knees and let him mark me. It might have saved us both a lot of trouble.
I felt it when Archer let just a little of his wolf out. His fangs.
“Oh, God,” I whispered. “Archer, please. I can’t wait. Don’t make me wait. I’ll do anything!”
“Yes,” he said. “You will.” He slipped three fingers inside of me and stroked me. I thrust my hips, showing him how badly I needed him.
“That’s it,” he said. “You’ll dance for me.”
I would. Only for him. Forever.
Archer kissed a trail along my spine, getting closer and closer to the spot I needed. We both needed. Still, he kept his fingers inside of me. Working me. Stroking me.
Then, finally, when I didn’t think I could take another second without him, he withdrew his fingers and slid his rigid cock inside me.
“Oh!” I gasped. My words punctuated with each thrust. “My. What. A. Big...Cock. You. Have!”
He let out a sinful laugh. “All the better to fuck you with, my dear.”
And he did. He played me. Speeding up his rhythm when he knew I needed it. Pushing me to the edge of pleasure, then slowing down, controlling my body.
Then, as the moon peaked in the sky, Archer slid one hand around my waist. He pulled me gently backward, driving himself in as deep as he could go. Then, he slipped his other hand beneath my chin, tilting my head upward. He blew on my neck, moving my hair to the side.
“Now, my love,” he said.
“Yes!”
My neck throbbed. I let go. My orgasm poured through me. I felt myself clench and spasm around him. At the height of it, Archer sank his fangs into the base of my neck.
Marking me. Claiming me. Making us both whole.
We were everything. I saw the whole earth in my mind’s eye. We were at the center of it. Our power. Wolf. Fire. Light.
He was mine. I was his. Forever. Always. A perfect fit.
Archer came then. His body wracked with the powerful spasm. Yes. One day I’d give him children. But not today. Today I would keep him all to myself.
As Archer pulled me to him, he licked the
