And those final words seemed to push him over the edge. In a barely controlled frenzy, he plunged his cock fully inside me, ripping through my barrier. The pain was sharp and brief, then it subsided.

He fit tightly, his erection large and throbbing. He filled every inch of me. I shuddered in bliss. Goddess, he felt amazing.

But he didn’t give me any time to marvel. Another deep grunt came from him, and when I looked over my shoulder, his eyes were glowing brightly, and magic shimmered around his head.

He leaned over me, pushing me down more into the mattress as his hands anchored to my hips, refusing to let me wiggle away even an inch.

Power grew in his aura, swelling around him, and then he began thrusting into me, hard and deep. His movements grew faster, his cock swelling inside me, growing even bigger until his rough movements were commanding all of my attention.

I screamed in pleasure. He pounded into me, his movements hard, but I’d never felt anything so right.

I closed my eyes, growing lost to the sensations. With each shove from his pelvis, my body wanted to lurch up the bed, but his hands on my hips wouldn’t allow it. He anchored me in place, demanding that I take every hard inch of him again and again and again.

“Jax! I’m so close!” I cried.

He didn’t reply, but he grumbled a sound, and his slapping increased, and when I looked over my shoulder a second time, wanting to see what effects our carnal acts were having on him, I gasped.

Antlers had sprouted from his head, and his eyes were glowing blue orbs. The rest of him remained fae, only the antlers hinting at his shifter origins.

When our gazes collided, he curled over me, trapping me completely. All the while, he rammed into me harder and deeper, his thrusts never stopping.

I moaned again, more turned on than any male had ever made me. I was so close...soclose to shattering all around him.

“Come for me, Elowen,” he demanded. “Give me yourself. I want to make youmine.” Magic swirled around him, coating me in his aura and power.

My magic threatened to join with his, but I wrenched on it, holding it back.

He pounded into me more, and I screamed just as my orgasm ripped through me. The realm crashed around me in a thousand dazzling waves and swirling sparks, soaring so high my vision swam and my core clenched.

He roared in victory when my channel spasmed around him, and then he slammed into me a final time, his cock pumping so violently that I felt every drop of his release as his seed flowed into me.

He curled himself around my body even more, his pelvis jammed against my core as he emptied himself in hot spurts. Magic—hot, heavy, and pulsing—tingled my skin and electrified my senses. Jax’s magic encased me. Protected me.

But I kept my magic in check so as not to fully enact the bond.

But I gasped when a searing burn flared on the back of my neck along my spine. It was gone so quickly, though, that I wondered if I imagined it.

All the while, Jax’s hands stayed anchored on my hips.

I smiled as a thoroughly content feeling of being dominated by him completely overtook me. I loved every second of it.

I shuddered, and it felt like eternity passed before my orgasm and his pulsing cock finally, fully calmed. I felt spent...totally, completely, and perfectly spent.

I sagged beneath him, my body turning to mush as my brain fogged with bliss.

He moved with me, his body curling over me more, and his mouth slid just below my ear, his whispered words humming with immense satisfaction.“You’re mine now. Forever.”

I didn’t know if I heard him correctly. I was too far gone from the effects of our love making to fully understand him.

But I was still a lorafin.

And he was still the heir to a throne.

We could never truly be together, but tonight, he was mine, and I was his. And I would take this one small gift and cherish it forever.

CHAPTER 22

I awoke to the feel of Jax’s hard body pressed against mine. His naked chest was flush to my back, and his arm was wrapped around my waist, holding me close.
