to be with her?

She bent her knees, folding her legs to her chest. She began, “Growing up, my mother always compared me to Daphne.”

Ferrus jerked back. “This Daphne? The one with you?” She nodded. “Why would your mother do that? That female is thin with lean muscle and skinny hips. You are perfect, Lili.” His hands slid under her knees then dragged the length of her thigh, fingers brushing against the V in her legs. Then up around her hips. “You do not know what you do to me.”

She nearly fainted, she was so turned on. So ready for his touch. God, she felt like a teenager “in love.” But, like all the times before, would her hopes of finding love be fruitless?

She asked, “How can you like me so much when the boys only called me names like fatty and thunder thighs?”

He suckled on her neck with a tiny bite sending heat straight to her core. “Because boys are children who do not know how to treat the precious things in life. I am a man who knows to treasure what is truly rare and valuable. That is what you are to me, Lili. Someone my heart and body craves.”

Yes, this was what she’d been searching for her entire life. Someone who loved her for her. Someone willing to look past her physical flaws to the real person inside. Not the angry, grumpy persona she always wore to hide her vulnerability.

“Lili,” he said, “there is a place for everyone. Your entire life, you’ve been in the wrong place where those there did not accept you. Now, with me, you are home where you belong. Where you will be loved like you deserved to be. You are my mate, Lili. I will love you forever. Only you. I cannot live without you with me.”

She turned toward him, and he lifted her, placing her where she straddled his lap, her pussy pressed against his long thick cock. His lips took hers in a hungry kiss. His hands brushed down her back to her ass, where he palmed each side and moaned deep in his throat, rubbing her up and down his length.

Fuck, she wanted this. Needed this. The two guys she’d had sex with in college did nothing for her. One was drunk, the other insisted the lights be off so he wouldn’t see her. Yeah, that hurt. But this made up for it. She would take Ferrus as her mate. Everyone else could fuck off. The prince would just have to get along without her.

She’d chosen someone she could love with all her heart and not be afraid of him leaving her or becoming disgusted with her.

Her man. Her mate.

Chapter Twenty

Lilah was making out with the man of her dreams. The man who would love her and never let her down. He was sexy, strong, smart, and from what she could feel, a dick big enough to send her over the edge quickly.

Ferrus moved a hand off her body, instantly leaving a cold spot she wanted warmed again. She didn’t know how he did it, but he rolled her onto a soft, cushy surface. Thinking it was the dirty ground with bugs and shit, she pushed him up away from lying on her.

“Wait. We can’t—” Seeing a stone-colored mat underneath them, she was speechless. Where had that come from? And how in the hell was it as soft as a mattress?

Ferrus’s brow raised. “Guess you have not seen one of our sleeping caves.”

“No. I haven’t. How did you make this? The ground is soil.”

“Even a forest dirt floor has some type of rock mixed in with it. I called it up and made it into a solid piece but kept it pliable so it would mold to our bodies, making my loving you so much better.”

“Oh, that’s how you sleep? On a soft spot of rock?”

He lay over her again. “Yes. Let me show you how comfortable it is.”

Lilah laid back and was pleasantly surprised to find the rock was comfortable, but her attention was drawn to the man in front of her. She wanted to feel his body on hers, and she didn’t care if the rock was pliable right then.

She leaned into his face and gave him her lips. She’d been dying for another taste of him. Her body flamed inside. He took her lips like he owned them. She dug her nails into his

chest and pulled him down next to her body. His smooth skin made her
