“Caderyn has not removed those swords in centuries.” Tristan kept watching the Shadow Wizard whirl Danica around the dance floor. “Not as long as I have known him. In fact, I believe he sleeps with them, if he eversleeps.”
“Maybe he really likes her and just doesn’t want to admit it,” Laceyoffered.
Both Drust and Tristan turned to regard her. A slow smile touched Tristan’smouth.
“Ha,” he murmured. “This will beinteresting.”
“Shall I get the popcorn this time?” Drustasked.
“Later, my friend. Take your bride on a honeymoon first.” Then he clapped a hand on Drust’s shoulder and walkedoff.
Lacey sipped her white wine. “Popcorn? What’s that allabout?”
“Wizard affairs.” Drust looked around. “Are you tiring of all these people, mylove?”
“Yes. But can we slip away without anyonenoticing?”
“I can arrange it.” He leaned close and whispered into her ear. “I cannot wait to get insideyou.”
A shiver of delicious anticipation raced through her. Without words, she slipped her hand into his. He teleported them into the guest cabin Aiden had generously offeredthem.
They did not waste time undressing, for Drust snapped his fingers and suddenly they were naked. Before she could draw in her next breath, his mouth was uponhers.
His kiss was warm, welcoming. It felt like coming home. He cradled her head in his hands and drew hercloser.
Lacey felt the raw emotion in his trembling lips, the untamed need for sex layered with tenderness. He kissed her mouth, his lips then trailing over her chin and neck as she clung to him, giving back everything he gave. Then the intensity took over, the kisses frantic withpassion.
They kept kissing as they worked their way toward the bed. His skin was warm and smooth, powerful muscles rippling beneath as he flexed against her. He grazed his mouth over her neck, tasting her, then nipping her lobe. Her hands grasped his taut ass, urging himcloser.
She burned for him, her emotions cranking up to an urgent cry to mate. Drust blazed a trail of kisses down her sensitive skin, then settling on one nipple. Gently he suckled. Lacey gripped the heavy muscles of his shoulders, her head flung back as he stroked his tongue. Wetness gushed between herthighs.
She fell back onto the pillows, her arms stretched open in invitation. Drust mounted her, settling between her opened legs. She felt his thick hardness press against her soft, wet core as he braced himself on his hands on either side of her head. Her pulse quickened with anticipation and yearning. Emotion shone in hiseyes.
“I love you so much. I never want to lose you again, for you are my very life, the air I breathe, the spark in my soul that will never die,” hewhispered.
She cupped his cheek, watching his eyes close as he savored her touch. “You are my heart. I will never leave you again, Drust. We were meant to be one, and together,forever.”
Something warm and wet dripped onto her breast. A single lone tear fell from his eye. She reached up, kissed away another hovering on hisjaw.
“Make me yours, Drust. Make us one so nothing will ever part us again,” shewhispered.
Then he thrust intoher.
He was so big he stretched her full. Lacey bent her legs and tilted her hips up to take him, feeling his thick penis penetrate, joining them intimately. She threw her head back and moaned at the sensations, the softness of his chest hair against her flushed skin, the delicious male scent of Drust and musk invading her, his low, sultry murmurs. Her nipples felt hard as pearls as he brushed againstthem.
Lacey wrapped her legs around his waist and pulled him closer. He began hammering his hips, his shoulders moving with fluid strength, his hoarse cries equaling her tiny whimpers ofexcitement.
She let go, convulsing around him, screaming as she cleaved to him, hearing him cry her name. He threw back his head, tendons and veins bulging, his big body shuddering. The hot wash of his seed spurted inside her as heclimaxed.
Barely had she come back down with a blissful sigh when she feltit.
Then he wrapped her in his arms, rolled over, letting her rest atop his body. She dropped her head on his chest, trusting absolutely. Wondering awe spilled through her as tears dripped down her cheeks. All of Drust, his past, hope and present, and then a surge of heavy, masculine power. She felt his magick churning through her body, pushing into herveins.
He stroked her hair gently, murmured assurances. Drust pulled her down and rubbed his own wet cheek againsthers.
“It’s magick.” She raised herself up to stare at him. “I feel your magick inside me, making me stronger and more powerful. It feelswonderful.”
Drust gave a solemn smile. “Wizards are allowed to fully share magick with their mates. We are supposed to never share our seed with lovers, for our seed contains part of our powers. I broke a rule before when we first made love, but Danu knew it was for the greaterpurpose.”
