“Never, baby,” he promised.

Jace let go of his last thread of control, taking her as he needed to. One, two, three powerful thrusts, and her sheath gripped him like a vice, flexing along the length of his shaft. Her entire body clenched as she came apart beneath him, his name a fervent prayer on her lips.

This was it, the moment his wolf had been waiting for.

She gripped him tightly, her climax pulling at him, demanding everything. Clamping his teeth down on the tender skin between her neck and shoulder, he pushed as deeply as he could go and felt the first pulse shoot forth. He held her firmly against him as he branded her with his release.

It was so good, so very good. Jace had never felt anything like it. Deep inside her welcoming heat, he hadn’t just come; he had injected his heart and soul into her.

When she had taken all he had to give, Jace used the last of his strength and the natural force of gravity to roll onto his back, breathless. Dani went with him, keeping them joined as she lay draped over his body. Dani purred against his chest, sated and content.

The last thought that crossed his mind before Jace dozed off was that his wolf had been right on that very first day when he held her hand in his for those brief few seconds. Dani wasthe one.

Amos’s words echoed in the deepest reaches of his consciousness. “Your brother Thomas was born ten months later.”

He looked down at her half-closed eyes, saw and felt the incredible rush of rightness, and decided he didn’t care. She was his mate. He would visit the jewelers first chance he got, because now that he had her, he would never let her go.

They remained there, under the stars, naked and happy in each other’s arms. When the dawn began to break, they made love again, then watched the sunrise.

“Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning,” Dani murmured the old quote against his chest, seeing that the sky had a flaming red and golden glow. “A storm is coming.”

When she shivered, Jace pulled her closer to him as if he felt it, too. He had no idea just how prophetic her words were.
