He let out a low growl as her release triggered his own. Surprise shot through her when he ground his hips against her and his cock began to swell. She felt the base of his cock expanding and moaned when she felt the hard, hot jets of his semen filling her.
“You are mine, Kylie,”he snarled.“My mate. My love. Mine forever.”
“And you are mine, Ronan.”
As soon as he released her neck, she turned her head and bit him hard enough to draw a few drops of blood. She felt him shudder as she licked at the wound, then she collapsed beneath him when all her energy suddenly disappeared, leaving her feeling completely drained. With her arms and legs splayed out on the bed, she felt like an awkward starfish, but she didn’t have the energy to move.
“Kylie? Mate?”
“I’m fine,” she assured him. Even on the brink of passing out, she smiled. “Better than fine.” She paused, then asked, “Does your…umm, does your dick always swell when you come?”
“Aye. I am guessing that is not something human males do?”
“No, it’s not.” She wheezed out a laugh, then hissed in a sharp breath when her pussy clench around his swollen cock. “I’m not complaining. It was just a surprise. Though, I might pass out before we get free of each other.”
“You still need to drink the last of the tonic before you go back to sleep.”
Her smile turned to a frown. “Don’t want to.”
“You must,” he countered, sounding amused.
She squeaked in surprise when he rolled them over so she was draped over him like a living blanket. Then, he sat up, holding her firmly on his lap. Changing positions with his cock still locked inside of her made her pussy clench around him, sending aftershocks of pleasure zinging through her.
She groaned when he stretched his arm out for the flask on the bedside table, but she allowed him to feed her the rest of the magical tonic without protest. While she wasn’t looking forward to this last round of healing pain, she was glad it was almost over.
“Rest now, my love. I will be with you while you complete the healing process. I will not allow you to suffer alone.”
They were fully merged now, bonded as the true mates they were meant to be. Now that their lives were forever intertwined, that meant she would never be alone again.
“Nay, mate. You are no longer alone,” he said softly before kissing her forehead. “I will always be with you from now on. So will Dominic.”
With the soft murmur of his promise echoing in her mind, she closed her eyes as she rested her head against him and allowed herself to drift into sleep.
Chapter Ten
The next timeKylie woke, it was still dark in the bedroom. Moonlight spilled through the windows around the partially closed curtains. She wasn’t sure how long she’d been out this time, but it must have been at least a few hours since she had fallen asleep after she had bonded with Ronan.
During that time, she hadn’t drifted into Ronan or Dominic’s minds. She hadn’t even felt any pain or discomfort. Instead, she remained in the deep well of sleep without surfacing. Making love with Ronan seemed like a dream, though she knew it really happened when she suddenly heard his voice in her head.
“I am glad you are awake, mate. I was beginning to worry.”
Closing her eyes again, she concentrated on sending him a reply.
“How long was I out this time? A few hours? And where are you? I wasn’t expecting you to be the type to cut and run as soon as I feel asleep,”she teased.
“I did not run,”Ronan growled.“And it has been a whole day since you were last awake.”
“Oh.”
That was surprising.
“I am currently at the Ross Ranch helping fortify the fencing,”he explained.“The coyote issue has been taken care of, but better fencing will ensure that it does not happen again. I had to wait until the sun went down to deal with this since we have been told our skin shimmers in the sunlight. It is only fair to pay them back for all of the aid they have given us.”
“That is sweet of you.”
“Did you just insult me?”
She laughed lightly.“Of course not. Being sweet is not an insult.”
