I don’t know what was different about it, but it was different.

His light wrapped into and around mine, and his pain rippled through me, even as he slowed down the kiss, pulling on me as he used light in his mouth and tongue, coiling into the light below my feet and pulling on me sensually there, his aleimi wrapping into mine even as it went hot and liquid all at once.

I felt him asking me.

Pulling on me and asking me without words, tugging on me with his light and mouth, fisting his fingers in my hair as he kissed me harder, still using his light to draw more of me into him. I had my hand on his cock then, and he let out a startled groan, his voice falling into that deep, thicker timbre it did when he was really, really turned on.

It struck me there was a good chance we weren’t going to make it all the way to the paddocks behind Allie and Revik’s house.

Well, not before the first time, anyway.

I knew it wasn’t all fixed.

I knew everything wasn’t over.

I knew we’d have to return to that whole mess soon. I knew when we got back, we’d probably be facing a war led by my uncle, not to mention the vampire kingdom and Nick, and whatever else had been happening while we were gone.

I would have to figure out what this new gift of mine meant––and if there was any way I could use it to help us fix everything that was wrong on our home world.

But I didn’t want to think about any of that now.

Right now, I was going swimming with my husband.

I was going swimming with him, and we were probably going to have a lot of sex on that perfect, pristine, white-sand beach.

Then we’d watch the sun come up over the mountains behind us, lighting up the water.

And we’d figure out what to do then.
