She shivered, her connection to the element opening wide in response as she matched my swirling wave with one of her own, bathing in our shared power, marrying it together as one.
The others could feel it, their skin misting as a result.
But the true source of the element coated me and Claire, swathing us in a sea of familiar bliss.
I kissed her, reveling in the sensation of our element playing through our beings, engaging our souls, and warming with the gift of life.
All it takes is a thought,I whispered to her.Accept my offering, Claire.
She didn’t ask what I meant, because she felt the warmth of my power brushing her soul. She opened beneath it, gasping as the element pierced her very heart, sending vibrant electricity through her veins and mine.
It centered in my groin, alighting me from within and stirring a cyclone of sensation in my lower abdomen. I growled from the onslaught, the pleasure unlike anything I’d ever experienced, even during our first mating.
Fae are meant to create,I thought at her.Fuck, Claire. I can’t hold back much longer.
It was too intense.
Too overpowering.
Tooright.
She squeezed me with her thighs, welcoming me into her body with little movements of her own, the sensation curling inside her as well. I could feel it through our bond, her acceptance and excitement. Her preparedness. Herneed.
Her limbs began to shake, sexy noises falling from her lips, as she picked up the pace of our joining, forcing me to shoot off into an oblivion of stars. Water exploded around us, my control over the element snapping as I released my seed inside her on a roar of emotion and astute gratification.
Claire followed me with her own scream, her nails digging into my back as she held on through each rapturous wave of insanity.
I couldn’t breathe.
We were drowning in my element, lost in the depths of the ocean and struggling to surface. I held on to her as she clung to me, our lungs failing us both.
Until we surfaced on a collective breath, our lips crashing into each other as we mated our tongues in a dark dance of fate and expectation.
I fucking loved this woman.
She took everything I had to give and gave it back tenfold, her body a pillar of worship that I would forever kneel to.
And inside, life had taken hold.
I could feel it in my very being, the source rejoicing in our mating and showering us in icy kisses that stung my already damp skin. Claire giggled, her smile the most beautiful sight.
Rather than speak, she kissed me again. Then she grabbed Sol and dragged him in for a kiss. Followed by Titus, Vox, and then Exos.
I was still joined to her below, could feel her walls fluttering with renewed vigor, her happiness a drug we all wanted to indulge in.
My hips flexed, giving her what she craved.
We’d already created life, but I didn’t mind fucking her again. Just as I knew her mates wouldn’t mind joining.
Now it was about celebrating. Worshipping. Cherishing. Existing.
Our Claire had just given us all the biggest gift of our lives. And we intended to show her our gratitude for as long as she wanted.
Thank you, little queen,I whispered, kissing her jaw as Sol took her mouth again.I love you,I added, palming her belly.Both of you.
Ten Days Later
“Claire!” Titus shouted, making my eyebrows scrunch as I pulled the blanket over my head. He shook me, albeit gently, as he insisted on rousing me from the best sleep of my life. When I didn’t respond, he pulled the sheets away, making me squirm as cool air rushed over my skin.
