Page 55 of Dreaming of Darkness

We jerked awake in the living world. I was still on the floor, my face flat on the carpet. And Bailey was looking around, confused, leaning against the edge of her couch. Our eyes met and held.

“That really happened, right?” Bailey pushed up, her cheeks a soft pink.

I nodded, “It did.”

“And we’re moving to a supernaturally powered town.”

“We are.”

She was off the couch a second later, her squealing laughter making my chest ache at the

sweetness of it. Our bodies met somewhere in between, limbs tangling, I caught us just as we slammed back into the carpet.

“Careful,” I growled at her, “You’re going to get hurt.”

“Worth it,” Bailey crowed, “This is it! This is what we were waiting for!

I rolled her under me, my weight propped up by my arms as I looked down into her face. “I think so too.” Her chest rose and fell against mine, her breasts beginning to distract me.

“You know what that means?” Bailey said, her hand finding its way into my hair.

I groaned, her fingers tugging lightly. “I hope I do.”

Bailey leaned in, her lips coasting up the side of my face to my ear, “I want to be bonded when we move, mate. Which means that you are all mine now.”

“Or I’m about to be,” I responded with a smile, my cock already thickening against the softness of her thigh. “Any other questions, little dream?”

She shook her head, her dark blonde hair catching on the carpet and surrounding her head. “None. Well, okay, maybe one.”

She leaned in, her nose brushing mine, “Will you marry me?”

I choked, my throat tight and unyielding, “Marry you?”

“It’s not as big of a deal as a mating bond, I know that” Bailey shrugged, her body tight against mine, “But if we’re going to stay in the living world, I want to marry you too.”

“Whatever makes you happy, little dream,” I said, dropping a kiss on her mouth. “I would be glad to be your partner in every sense.”

Her mouth found mine again and there’s no more holding back. I rolled my hips forward, letting her feel the rigid length of me. Bailey gasped, her body grinding back against mine. “Do you feelthat little dream?” I leaned onto an elbow, freeing my grip to trail down to her breasts. “How much I want you?”

Bailey didn't answer, her mouth was sucking, licking its way up my neck. I groaned as she bit down gently against my pulse point. “You taste divine,” she mumbled, her mouth barely leaving my skin. “I want you naked.”

My cock swelled. “I can do that, pretty mate.” With shaking hands, I pushed myself to a kneeling position and yanked my shirt over my head, throwing it aside. When her hands went to my belt, I growled, pushing her away.

“You are I both know that the minute I get out of these pants, I’m going to want to be inside of you.”

“And that’s bad?”

I laughed against her collarbone, tracing the lines there. “No, little dream, not bad.”

“Then take them off,” Bailey said, reaching for them again. “I’m tired of waiting.”

For a moment I freeze, considering her words. This was the beginning of forever. We were done waiting. She was done waiting.

“You wish is my command,” I said, my hands helping her remove her top, the dark trousers that were on her legs. All that smooth, soft flesh was no under my hands, my tongue. I wanted to taste it all. To press my mouth there, to see what noise I could wring from her pretty little mouth.

And I would.

But not today. I was going to take my mate, bonding us forever. I would lock myself into her, fill her with my cum, and know that from now on, we would never be apart. Not really. I would become part of her– she part of me.
