Then I remembered three very important ‘people’. Turning to look at my boys, my lovely furbabies that I adored with all my heart, I smiled and asked, “Y’all good with stayin’ at Aunt Maisie’s?”
“Does she have turkey jerky?” Otis’ thick Irish grumbling baritone brogue asked.
“She better have some of those peanut butter bars,” Chewy added, his tough guy Bronx accent making Kai’s eyebrows raise, to which I whispered into his mind, “I’ll explain later,” and he nodded.
Of course, before I could reassure two of my three boys, Arthur, King Arthur to me and all who loved him, stepped in and took control. With this deep rumbling voice and touch of the Irish Highlands, he instructed, “You both know that Momma Martha would never leave us without everything we needed. Now, tell her goodnight and let’s go have a slumber party with Aunt Maisie.”
“Wooohoo,” Maisie whooped. “Sleepover at my house! It's gonna be a blast. I might even whip up some of her famous salmon jerky." Smacking her lips, she added, “Oh, yeah, the babies think salmon jerky with peanut butter and hot sauce sounds like just what we need.”
“Don’t give my boys anything but the jerky,” I warned. “If you do, you’ll be performing Cleansing Rituals on your house with hot water and bleach.”
“Noted!”
Taking off at top Fae speed, a chorus of, “We love you, Martha Dellencourt,” filled my mind. Immediately followed by Maeve giggling, “Maybe more than Quick Silver Suzie and the bedazzled bougie monogrammed bag you gave me for my three hundred and twenty-fifth birthday!”
Then, Maisie giggled, “More than a roasted turkey leg with grape jelly and butter pecan ice cream. Oh! Did I mention that the cravings have taken a weird turn?”
It was my turn to say, “Noted.”
Ending with Theresa’s tittered, “Definitely more than my special blend coffee that only you can make.”
See? I told you I had the best family in the world, even the one I just added to the Clan. Damn, I love it when a plan comes together.

Kai’s house, the perfect little cottage on the bright side of Wikiwatchee Watering Hole, where the flowers bloomed in a rainbow of colors pretty much all the time, and Crocodile Cock was completely hidden by trees and tall grass, was everything I’d ever imagined the home I shared with my Mate would be. Well, shit, of course it was. After all, Fate had Magicked into existence–and no matter how much she made my ass twitch, that rainbow-haired Omnipotent Being was a good egg.
True to his word, my feet never touched even an inch of the idyllic wraparound porch. Nope, my Fae King knew what he wanted. It was me, and he was done waiting. Pushing the door open with a strong Magical breeze, we had just flown over the threshold when he did the reverse to shut out all intrusions.
I could wait no longer. Every fiber of my being was pushing me to kiss the man made for me, and who was I to say no? Kissing the side of his neck, the tip of my tongue slid along his jugular, and in an instant, our hearts beat as one. Steady, strong, and faster with every passing second, passion went from a slow, simmering burn to a raging fire.
It was uncontrollable. It was unfathomable. It was absolutely mind-blowingly wonderful in every way possible, and some I never imagined.
Turning to face Kai, I wrapped my arms around his neck and molded every single one of my curves against the hard, gorgeously sculpted muscles of my man’s body. The electricity of our connection, the sparks of the bond we shared, the undeniable fact that we were literally made for each other crackled, popped, and sizzled. Arching between us, solidifying and strengthening the link, the tie, the irrevocable, all-encompassing tether that joined my soul with his, locked into place.
And then our lips met, and it was an explosion of emotions, love, and utter commitment. The mental blocks I’d always prided myself on, the Magical gates I’d built as a young Dragon Queen and Aideen and I had maintained for all our years together, burst open. My heart, soul, and my very being were laid open for my Mate– and his were there for me. There was nothing we could hide from one another–nothing we wanted to hide. We were one in every sense of the word...
Except physically, and I had every intention of remedying that oversight just as quickly as possible.
No sooner had the thought crossed my mind than did the scent of the sea and the warmth of the sun blow through the room. On its heels was the tsunami of Magic that danced all over my skin, infusing me with an unquenchable desire to be one, physically, with my One True Fated Mate.
And my man was right on board.
Kai’s Enchantment grew. The Magic of the Ancient Dragons flowing through my veins answered the call. The Dragon Fire deep within my very being roared to life, and from one beat of our hearts to the next, our clothes disappeared and we were gloriously naked.
There was no more thought, no planning– we were all instinct and passion. I wanted to touch every inch of Kai’s body, mark him with my scent, my touch. I never wanted him to doubt that he belonged to me just as much as I belonged to him– and apparently, my man had the same idea.
Moving backward, our minds in bodies in complete sync, the instant my back touched the wall, I tilted my hips to his, lifted my legs, and wrapped them around his waist. Flesh met flesh, the tip of Kai’s erection bumped my excited clit, and all I could do was scream to the Heavens, “I love you, Kai Rí. Make me yours forever.”
“I love you, Martha, Mary Margaret Dellencourt.” His voice burst to life in my mind, and it was the last piece of the puzzle that was our eternity together.
Opening myself to my Mate, the breath was stolen from my lungs, and my heart skipped a whole lotta beats as in one fluid motion he slid inside my body, and we were one as the Universe, Fate, the Great Goddess, and God with a capital G always intended. Slowing for a few brief seconds, then faster and harder, he moved in and out of me as I met him stroke for stroke.
And all the while we looked into one another's eyes, our hearts and souls intertwined, our love growing into more than we ever could have imagined. It was wonderful. It was life-affirming. It was the realization of the promise made by the Great Goddess and the Universe on the day to each and every one of Their children.
Quicker, harder, we moved as one, and just like that, our love exploded in the most seismic orgasm to ever occur. On and on, both of roaring our love and adoration, my Mate and I leaned forward, bared our necks to one another, and right then and there let our canines sink into the flesh.
Our climax was renewed. Wave after wave of unrelenting passion rolled through and between us. Nothing mattered but Kai and our bond. I never wanted to end, and neither did he.
