Palmer
 
 One thing was certain.
 
 I was losing my fucking mind.
 
 Or maybe, just maybe, I was finding it for the first time.
 
 My hips bucked hard as I rode Jasper's tongue. He was relentless, and I was desperate.
 
 I tried to tell myself I was desperate for the information that was locked deep within his mind, but the bond that we now shared... with power sharing and the fact that we were both on the brink of discovering some long-buried secrets, it was a unique connection that I'd never had with anyone else.
 
 It was intoxicating.Hewas intoxicating.
 
 My hands gripped the headboard as his tongue expanded.
 
 He was pushing the boundaries of my pleasure, and I could feel my body trembling with anticipation.
 
 I closed my eyes, letting the sensations take over me. His tongue worked its magic, and I felt myself slipping away, flashes of memory passing through my consciousness like a dream.
 
 I was beside Jasper, walking through ancient stone castle halls hundreds of years ago, as if it were just yesterday.Laughter in the distance had us entering a grand ballroom that was full of demons. He was smiling as he took in the scene. His gaze bounced around the room in awe. I slipped my hand in his, and we smiled at each other.
 
 His smile abruptly fell as he spotted something, or someone, across the room. I followed his line of sight and gasped softly at the sight of Asrael, my mentor, standing with three other men. Wings, horns, and tails.Asrael was a demon?! What the fuck?I blinked, realizing I recognized all of them from my training. The King of Besmet, Thane Carlisle, was looking sternly at his son, Bram.
 
 The other man was none other than the head of Montague's number one competitor, Radical Inc., Khol Larson. Apparently, he was a demon, too.
 
 The vision dissipated as quickly as it arrived, taking a backseat to the absolute wave of power that was moving through my body. Jasper's mouth kept working, expertly hitting all the right spots until I was finally on the brink.
 
 "Jasper! Oh, I don't think I can take it!" My entire body was shaking as he continued to ramp me up to impossible heights. I tried to move away to lessen the intensity.
 
 A deep, rumbling growl exploded from his chest, sending vibrations up through my cunt. A warning. Both of his hands clamped onto my thighs, and he pulled me down hard. It was too much.
 
 My body splintered and shattered for him, and there was no stopping my body from delivering exactly what he was after. I screamed out when his tongue retreated, effectively breaking the dam.
 
 "Fuck yes, baby witch, give it to me," he demanded, and then I was spinning in the air.
 
 "Oh, gods." I'd meant it to sound more shocked, but I moaned it instead because fuck, my body was still shaking and leaking,only now... I was on my back. Two feet above the bed. Floating. "How..." My voiced thought trailed off as I realized what I was seeing.
 
 Jasper was directly above me. His wings, which I had never seen, were fanned out. Deep obsidian horns stuck out of his dark red hair, and I didn't have to see to know that his tail was also on full display. I could feel it wrapping around my left ankle. His eyes glowed an eerie green as he hovered above me in all his glory. He was stunning, and I could only marvel at the sight of him, never taking his gaze from mine.
 
 "You're perfect," I whispered, surprising myself. I had never been the kind of girl who said shit like that in bed. Especially not the first time I slept with someone.
 
 He smirked, and I noticed a drop of my release about to fall from his chin. "Far from it," he said huskily. My eyes widened when he quickly flicked his tongue out, catching my essence before it fell to the bed beneath us.
 
 His fingers dug into my hips, and he growled once more, a low rumble that sent shivers down my spine.
 
 "I can't wait any longer," he said gruffly as he fit himself between my legs.
 
 "Fuck me, Jasper. I need you."
 
 I need you? Who am I right now?
 
 I felt the broad head of his cock press against me, seeking entrance, and the only thing I had room for in my head was Jasper. He was invading my mind, body, and soul, but instead of reacting the way I normally would, I moaned, and my bodyrelaxed, letting him sink all the way in with one powerful thrust that left us both gasping for breath.
 
 "It's too good," he groaned, almost painfully. He kept his movements slow, his hips rocking in a tantalizing rhythm that set my body on fire with each subtle movement. His eyes neverleft mine, and I felt myself melting into him as our bond grew stronger.
 
 My hands framed his face, and I found myself whispering, "Why is this so intense?"
 
 I felt like I was dancing between realities; Jasper's past and his present were colliding in my mind with every touch and caress. His green eyes flashed brighter, and I moaned deeply, feeling fuller than I had just moments before.
