“But this thing between us scares me,” she went on. “It’s all too much.”
“We belong together,” he murmured. His heart pounded as she searched his eyes. “You know it.”
“But your harem—”
“Don’t ask me to give them up. There are plenty of reasons why I can’t. Those women are under my protection,” he said.
The female gargoyles were given an esteemed status as members of his harem. He’d introduce them all to Rina so she could come to a better understanding of the life of a gargoyle clan leader.
“Tell me that you belong to me, Rina.”
He couldn’t help but lean down and place a small kiss upon her lips. She felt the magnetic pull between them, didn’t she? She’d be unable to fight it. He knew he was pressuring her too soon after she’d woken from the spell.
I never was a fair fighter.
When he wanted something, he went after it, and he wanted Larina Omaris.
“But what if fate got us wrong? I’ll have to go back to Faery to rule. How can we be together if you’re the protector of this realm?”
Her eyes searched his for the answer, but right now, he didn’t have one for her. The only thing he knew was what his gargoyle knew—she belonged to him.
“Do you want me, Rina?” He pushed his stiff length on her soft belly.
She gasped as he grasped her chin with his fingers. “Yes,” she breathed.
“Then I’m yours,” he ground out.
He crushed his mouth to hers to show her how much they belonged to each other. His gargoyle was a beast that needed to belong to the one person that fate had designed for them, and Rina was it. He moved his hand to the base of her neck and kissed her deeply. He poured his need into the kiss.
“Your suite or mine?” Her lips moved against his.
“Mine,” he said, the need to have her building inside him.
She smiled and wrenched him close to her as the roof disappeared.
