The bondsang.I was clean. New.Worthy. I gasped in ecstatic shock as he plunged into me again and reached something no man had ever touched before.
Me.
The world disappeared. The dragons, the trees, the wind—everything.
I held his gaze, his precious, loving gaze and I gave myself.
‘I love you, Donavyn. I love all of you with all of me.’
Donavyn cried out and pulled me to him, our bodies tangled, our souls entwined. He gasped and rocked, groaning, desperate, as we were rolled and buffeted, melded together.
Something inside me gave way. A door opened that had been locked, and light poured in. The light ofhim.His love, his protection, his value.
His light tore open the dark inside me, chased it down and beat it dead.
I gasped, my back bowing, eyes flying wide as something inside me screamed and died. But it was the death of pain. And in its wake, I foundpeace.
My eyes locked with Donavyn, and a smile of sheer joy broke from me as I offered himeverything.
He bellowed, his face red, eyes tight and trembling, but he didn’t retreat. He clapped a hand to my head and held me down, covered me with his bulk as the bond scoured us both and threatened to wash us away.
But he fought.
He fought, and the more I threw myself wide open, the greater the bliss.
My heart. My memories. My joy. My soul. All of it. I offered all of it because it was safe with him.
‘Bren!’
I gasped as his voice came alive in my head, like Akhane’s had the day she Chose me.
‘Donavyn?’
‘I’m here—don’t let go!’
‘I won’t. I can’t. I love you!’
Akhane screamed with joy, and Kgosi roared.
We were whipped and tilted, rolled and somersaulted—bathed in light and the song of our dragons.
Four souls.
Four minds.
Four bodies.
One heart.
Everything went still, my body poised on the cusp of ecstasy. I heard nothing but my heartthrub-thrub-thrubbingin my head.
Then him.
‘Bren? Bren, can you hear me? I love you.’
