Fan-fucking-tastic.
“Angel?" Tian questioned, holding me in a cradle close to his chest. “Are you with me?”
Leaning into his chest, I tucked my head into the crook of his neck and sighed heavily. “Yes. I’m here. Thank you for pulling me out of that.”
His hold under my knees dropped and my feet slowly drifted to settle on the smooth, stone floor beneath us. “Always, Angel. Always,” he promised as he brought his hand up to wipe my face, pulling away with blood on his fingers.
“What,” I spluttered at the scarlet liquid on his hand, my own coming up to wipe at my face until it was free of blood.
“Shh,” Tian muttered, gripping my face and leaning his forehead down to rest against my own. “You are okay. It was just a small nose bleed. Breathe, Angel. I’ve got you.”
I’ve got you.
That perfectly described my relationship with Tian. I trusted that he would always be there.
My eyes stung as I thought of what I saw in my vision and the tears fell of their own accord, my body shaking with the image of their souls being ripped from their bodies and falling lifelessly to the ground. With a quivering voice, I stared into his eyes and said, “I saw you all die by a power that even Lux had never seen before. And I was nowhere to be seen. I wasn’t there to help.”
Does this mean that I ran out of time and was called back to Selene’s side, leaving them to finish this war without me? It led to their deaths, just as predicted, without me there to be their light in the dark.
“Dry your tears, Angel,” Tian commanded, surprising me enough to snap my mind off of their potential deaths. My eyes were questioning, and he explained, “Our deaths are not something to fear. You know why?”
Blinking the tears away, I shook my head. “Why?”
Adoration simmered in his gaze as he moved to hover his lips a breath away from my own as he said, “Our souls are destined. We will follow you into the afterlife or the next life. Whatever lies in wait for us, you will never be alone.”
I wanted so badly to tell him how I wished that were true, but that I would likely spend hundreds of years in Selene’s realm, serving at her side. That even if we were to be reunited again after this life, that it would be prolonged for centuries.
But I couldn’t. I swallowed the truth and forced a gentle smile to my lips, appreciating his sentiment nonetheless.
“I don’t fear death,” he paused to press a chaste kiss to my lips. “I fear living a life never having experienced love.”
How could I not melt into him at that statement? It made my legs putty as I threw my arms around his neck, pressing my breasts into his chest and moaning from the sheer force of the love he had for me. “Tian, I need you.”
It was shocking to see those four words turn my mate into a completely different man before my eyes. Gone was the soft, sensitive shifter I’d come to know and love, replaced with a man who knew what he wanted and wouldn’t stop until he accomplished it.
“Tell me again,” he commanded as his hands dropped to my waist, pulling me out of the water to wrap my legs around his waist. “Tell me exactly what you want, Angel.”
His voice had dropped an octave and was sexy as hell, making my heart race with excitement at this new side of him. The memory of his dirty talk in the healing pools came back and I realized maybe he was always hiding this side of him.
With a confidence I never thought I would have possessed if you had asked me a few months ago, I gave him what he requested. “I want your cock buried in me.”
Immediately he jostled me higher on his body for a moment and then gripped his cock, lining it up with my core. As he dropped me back down, he shoved his hips up simultaneously, fully sinking into me with a swiftness that made me see stars. It was a toe-curling motion, gravity pushing me down onto him as he slammed his cock up.
My hands moved to grip his shoulders tightly as he used his hands on my waist to repeat the motion, getting deeper than I’d ever felt before with the motion. “Fuck!” I cried out, feeling my walls clenching around him.
A feral smile curled his lips up as his eyes flashed gold, his wolf brimming under the surface just as he well and truly began to fuck the shit out of me. I wasn’t sure how it was possible that he could fuck me so relentlessly in this position, having to hold all of my weight, but he made it seem like I was light as a feather.
“Lean back,” he directed and I did as he asked, one strong arm wrapping around my back to anchor me to him as his other hand reached to my ass, squeezing tightly.
“Oh,” I breathed as stars burst in my eyes, bliss overcoming faster than I’d ever experienced before with this position. Tian was so wholly in control and my trust in him made it easy to just give in, knowing he would take care of me.
"You are my everything, Angel,” Tian swore as he thrust into me, punctuating his words. “Tell me you know that.”
It was hard to form words, or to even focus on his demand, as I was lost to the bliss he was pulling from my body with ease. His hand gripping my ass disappeared momentarily before it came back with a thwack to my skin, the sting of his spank burning deliciously. “Tell me,” he growled, not giving up on his request.
“I know that!” I yell, “I’m your everything.”
“Good girl,” he praises and then unleashes everything he has, forgoing all words, replacing it with brute force.
