“I don’t want you thinking like that when you’re naked in our bed, Thorns,” Aev growled at me. Apparently, I was accidentally broadcasting my thoughts. Oops. “When you’re too tired, we’ll stop. Period. I’ll feed you and hold you while you sleep, and when you’re ready, I’ll take you again. Your comfort matters a hell of a lot more than mine.”

My whole body flushed. “Talk to me like that, and I don’t know if I’ll ever get too tired.”

He gave me a low chuckle, and mental images of myself with my ass in the air, taking his cock, assaulted me from his end of the bond.

My body heated further.

“Look at this pretty little back turning red for me,” he murmured, stroking my skin slowly as he moved my legs into place. “Lift your ass for me, Sunshine.”

I didn’t even consider arguing with him. It was too much of a turn-on when he got bossy like that—when he told me what he wanted.

And he was still sending me the filthiest, most erotic mental pictures. If Aev always thought in pictures instead of words, he was going to be a thoroughly distracting mate for the rest of our damn lives.

I’d love every minute of it.

He opened my thighs wider, and I got an x-rated image of my own core in my mind, spread open wide and dripping wet. My entire body managed to heat even more—and then he touched me.

And shit, his mind played the moment like a movie right into mine.

I was shuddering in seconds, nearing the edge, and he thrust inside me without skipping so much as a beat.

It should’ve taken so much longer, but with the mental stimulation of his dirty, dirty thoughts, I was shattering on his cock in seconds, screaming like hell was on my heels as I did. It was the most intense orgasm of my life—and his pleasure only made it that much better.

“You’re going to kill me,” I groaned at Aev, my body still throbbing as those images lived on in his mind even after he’d lost control with me.

He laughed—loud, genuine, and happy enough to make my heart ache with happiness too. Now he was imagining me up against a wall, and it was making me dizzy. “You still want it, Thorns. I can feel it, here and here.” He tapped his forehead, and then my pubic bone, where I knew I was tightening around his erection. “Let go. Enjoy this.” His eyes were bright and excited, and damn, I was excited too.

“Alright, Vines. Take me to the wall.” I lifted an arm, and he scooped me up easily, hauling me across the room. “Use my body.”

“With pleasure.” He nipped at my collarbone as I wrapped my legs around his thighs, taking him back inside me in a quick motion that made us both groan.

An entire daypassed before we finally collapsed in bed together, completely and utterly spent. Benefits of fae healing, I supposed. We’d stopped to eat a few times—the fae who’d built our house had filled the fridge to the brim with the birth control fruits called lilano. They were delicious, so eating them definitely wasn’t a hassle.

We’d talked about having kids—neither of us was ready yet, but we were both excited by the idea, so we decided we’d consider trying in a few months.

Then, we talked about life, laying in each other’s arms as the exhaustion really set in.

Knowing that the klynnas were taken care of, and the new ex-humans were classified, and we were safe? It made everything feel easier, and calmer.

And that brought me peace.

Not as much peace as the man holding me in his arms, but still.

“Do you still want me to train you?” Aev murmured, as I teetered on the edge of sleep.

“I don’t,” I admitted.

I didn’t want it, but I also didn’t feel like I needed it.

I had Aev, I had my friends, I had all of the unseelies now, and I had Rerrwyn, too. If I were to train, I would have to embrace the horrors of my past, and push past them.

But I didn’t want to push past them.

I had already accepted them, and left them behind. Facing them again… I wasn’t interested in that.

“Then you won’t,” Aev said simply, as he stroked my back. “I’ll protect you, and my men will too. With their lives, because they know what’s good for them.”

My lips curved upward. “I like that.”
