Page 38 of Hidden Fate

Pleasure washed over me as we opened our bond to each other. There was no doubt he loved me as much as I did him, but love didn’t fully express what we felt for each other. It was otherworldly, something that couldn’t be explained…all-encompassing.

As I neared ecstasy, I pulled away.

He reached for me again, frowning. “Uh…where the hell do you think you’re going?”

But there was one thing I needed to do before we connected. Something I’d been wanting to do our entire time together. “Turn over.”

His irises sparkled as he flopped onto his back, and he held his hands out to his sides, ready to grasp my legs when I straddled him. He grinned wickedly, and I laughed. I couldn’t help it. “Now turn around.”

Face falling, he tilted his head. “Uh…what?” He glanced at the mattress as if that would explain everything.

“Turn around?” I laughed and swirled my finger.

He mashed his lips together. “I’m down for almost anything you want to try.” He moved as if to see if I had something behind my back. “But I’d like to discuss it first, especially if it might involve my exit.”

I smacked his leg, chuckling. “I am all about every inch of your body, except that one place. So don’t worry. Nothing will get near your butthole unless we discuss it first.”

“Just so we’re clear.” He rolled onto his stomach.

Once he was settled, I crawled up the bed next to him and ran a hand over his back to the bottom edge of his mark. He tensed, sensing where my fingers stilled.

I waited for a second. If he told me to stop, I would, but when he didn’t say anything, I traced the outline of the dragon’s body, its wings extended. A shiver coursed through him, and his dragon purred as I traced the image from the top of the wing to the dragon’s head. I connected,It’s gorgeous. With the level of detail, it’s hard to believe it’s not a tattoo.

Believe it or not, it’s like I can feel you touching my dragon. I’m exposed to you. It’s so intimate.His breath caught, and something shifted between us, drawing us closer.

You don’t have to hide from me.I continued to trace it, my dragon inching forward. She was as excited as I was to finally touch his entire body, and more need pooled between my legs.I would rather die than hurt you.The truth of my words had the air whooshing out of me. But it was true. Everything inside me lived to keep him safe and happy.

A deep purr escaped my man as well.I know that, and I can’t take it anymore.

He flipped over, and I almost complained until I saw the expression on his face. His eyes darkened with desire as he grabbed my waist and pulled me onto his lap. He placed a hand on the back of my neck and brought my head down so he could kiss me.

Our mouths melded together, and I shifted my hips while he guided himself inside me. As he filled me, my body rocked ever so slowly against his. The movement was sensual and all-consuming.

I pulled my mouth from his, wanting him deeper so I could ride him. He groaned as his hands cupped my breasts, his fingers caressing my nipples. He rocked underneath me, and our bodies moved in sync.

Pleasure soared through me as we quickened our pace. Our emotions intermingled, both of us feeling the other person completely. As my ecstasy increased, his did in tandem, proving our souls were interconnected.

He thrust underneath me, and I swiveled my hips, sensation taking over my body.

Sitting up, he repositioned me on his lap, grabbing my waist while his mouth covered my breast. As his fingers dug into my skin, I moved faster, both of us desperately racing toward our climax.

I cupped his head, pulling him away from my breast, and kissed him again. I wanted to taste, smell, and feel him. As his tongue swept into my mouth, my orgasm rocked through my body. I responded eagerly to the kiss, and he shuddered through his own climax.

After who-knew-how long, our bodies stilled, both of us completely satiated. I rolled off him and cuddled into his arms.

As my eyes began to close, a knock sounded at our door. Cassidy called out, “They were able to get hold of the woman, and she’s going to deliver the message. They’re on their way back. I just wanted to let you know all is well so you two can get some sleep. We can talk more in the morning. Good night.”

Any remaining tension ebbed from Thorn, and we fell fast asleep in each other’s arms.

* * *

The next morning,Thorn’s weight left the bed, stirring me. I opened my eyes to find him dressing his gorgeous body.

I pouted.What are you doing? You’re taking away my eye candy.

His brows lifted.There’s still some eye candy left.He gestured to his face and tilted his head.

Sure.I rolled my eyes, fighting to keep the corners of my mouth from tipping upward.I’ll pretend to agree.
