I enjoyed the mont in my mate’s arms as he showered with sweet kisses. When we pulled apart, Soren noticed the candles all around the room.
“What’s so special tonight?” Before I could answer, it was as if Soren suddenly sensed sothing and he creased his brow. “Mila, are you okay?”
Smiling brightly, I looked down at my belly. “I’m more than okay. It’s been a great day today. I finished with my work at the clinic, you’re walking again, and Thomas found us. I thought it was worth a little celebration.”
Soren’s expression relaxed and finally, he agreed. “Indeed, it has been a good day.”
Dressed simply, all he wore was a black t-shirt and so black sweatpants. Yet, he still managed to look like a model ready for a photo shoot. It never mattered what he wore—he made his clothes look good, as always.
I pressed my head to his chest. Naturally and smoothly, both of his arms ca around . His embrace was warm and powerful and I knew they would protect and our baby from any harm.
I just didn’t know how much longer I would be able to stay like this with him.
Breathing in his scent, I pushed the unhappy thoughts away and forced myself to enjoy his presence at this mont.
Burying my face into his muscular chest, I indulge myself in his delicious scent mixed with a hint of alcohol taste from the beer.
Soren kissed the top of my head. “What are you thinking about?”
“Um, about how lucky I was to have you as my mate,” I murmured honestly.
Soren chuckled, “Good answer.”
anwhile, he slipped his arms around and took a few steps to the left.
“What are you doing?” I asked.
Soren just kept moving, pulling along with him. “Guess...”
There was no music, so it took a mont to realize he was dancing with . We held each other and I followed his steps.
The warm, flickering light of the candles filled the room with a golden, romantic glow. Moonlight shone in through the open window and the soft scent of flowers wafted in.
It really was a gorgeous night. A perfect night.
I lifted my eyes and looked into Soren’s, where I found my own reflection. He looked down at with a soft, doting smile, and I knew I was all he saw at the mont.
“Have you missed ?” he purred in a deep, smooth voice against my ear, sending pleasant chills down my spine. I flushed a little and looked down.
Soren cupped my cheeks and lifted my face. He swooped down and kissed passionately on the lips. Moaning, I wrapped my arms around his neck.
Imdiately, he scooped into his arms and growled.
I gasped, clinging to his neck. For a mont, I was worried that he wouldn’t be able to hold because he had only just started walking again, and I’d gained weight from the growing baby, but he hardly seed to notice.
He carried to the bed and laid down on the comfortable, silky pillows, moving his fingers under the hem of my nightdress.
“You set the room up quite well,” he praised with a light chuckle, “so you deserve to be rewarded.”
His fingers ran up my inner thigh, caressing the inside of my leg up and down, and slowly getting higher and higher until he reached my swollen clit.
Gasping, I leaned back on the pillows, arching my back slightly.
He chuckled and licked my earlobe. “You sll so good...”
The hot air from his breath set my body on fire as he started kissing and sucking my neck while his fingers stroked my pussy lips and slid deeper into my folds.
I shuddered and grabbed the comforter, balling my hands into fists around the poofy fabric. Tingles ran up my legs and straight into my core that was throbbing with desire.
He brushed his fingers over my aching clit, slowly circling my little nub.
“Mmm!” I grabbed Soren’s shirt, almost tearing a hole in the fabric.
He kept rubbing. My legs trembled and I closed my eyes, writhing around on the bed.
Pressure and pleasure built in my abdon; my insides clenched. Heat spread through my body as I lted into the pillows, letting him take to a climactic height.
“Soren...Soren...”
I called his na, but then suddenly he stopped, leaving still trembling with pleasure. Wanting to beg him to give more, I squinted one eye open. When I realized he was undressing, my eyes raked over his smooth skin and his toned muscles and couldn’t move away.
“Do you like what you see?” he teased.
“Very much,” I sighed as I reached out to him, and couldn’t wait any longer to feel the warmth of his body again.
“Good to hear,” he smiled dangerously as he hovered over .
Grabbing the hem of my nightdress, he slid it up my body. The silky fabric sent shivers over my skin, gooseflesh springing up on my arms and stomach. He slipped his arm around my back and held close.
Then his tongue parted my lips and claid every inch inside of my mouth. I put my hands on the back of his head, tangling in his hair while responding to him with equal passion.
His hands road around my waist and suddenly grabbed my hips. My soaked pussy ached for him.
“Please...don’t make wait another second!” I moaned.
His eyes darkened and without any hesitation, he pushed his hard, throbbing cock inside of , stroking my core. My tight ring of muscles clenched around his quivering mber.
“You’re so fucking tight! How did you do it?”
“Wha—-Oh—Soren—Ahh...”
“How could you make feel so fucking good?!” he growled.
“Oh...” I rolled my hips in ti with his thrusts, all the pleasure and passion blossoming in again.
“Say my na!” he ordered.
“Soren...” I moaned as he thrust harder and faster.
“Again!”
“Soren! I...”
He nuzzled his face in my neck and I saw his throat just below my mouth.
“Tell what you want.”
“S-Soren,” I gasped, hugging him tighter. “I want to mark you!”
Soren growled, thrusting faster. He tilted his head, exposing more of his neck. His faint smile and his heavy panting told that he wanted to bear my mark as much as I desired to mark him.
I clung to him, my core stirring with molten lava. Panting, I bit into his neck, marking him as my own.
He groaned and his arms tightened around . His cock trembled and thrust faster and faster.
“Soren...Soren...” I cried. I couldn’t think of anything other than being overwheld by waves and waves of pleasure that he brought .
“Say you’re mine!” he commanded.
My body moved with his, wanting more of him. There was nothing in the world I couldn’t give him.
“Yes,” I cried, “I’m yours! All yours!”
“Ah—” He sighed and filled with his seed.
My body shook with pleasure as an orgasm rocked through .
Sighing, I cradled Soren’s head against my breast.
He breathed heavily. Then, slowly, he touched his neck and his body shivered against .
Our bond strengthened and it was unbreakable.
Would it be strong enough for to feel it even after he left this realm? Would I still sense my mate even if he was in another place that was far beyond my reach?
I turned on my side, getting comfortable with pillows propping up in a few places. Soren slipped his arms around , pressing his chest to my back. He nuzzled the back of my neck and kissed my shoulder, my collarbone, and then my breast and my heart.
“I love you, Mila.”
Tears sprang to my eyes and trickled down my cheeks. “I love you too.”
He tightened his arms around , his hands rubbing gently against my large stomach. Soren peppered my neck and shoulder with kisses. He tucked my head under his chin.
“Sleep now, Mila...”
I heard the exhaustion in his voice.
I snuggled against his chest and let myself enjoy his embrace. If this was the last night we spent together, I wasn’t going to waste it.
***
My eyes fluttered open and I imdiately looked toward the window. The sky was turning gray. It was just before dawn.
Soren lay next to , breathing evenly. It was really rare for him to be asleep once I woke up. Or for to wake up before him.
I unclasped the Moonlit Crystal necklace and put it around Soren’s neck. Now, he wouldn’t have to ask for it. Then, gently, I untangled myself from his arms and got out of bed as I grabbed one of my books for expecting mothers and sat in the chair across the room, reading, waiting for Soren to wake up.
When he sighed heavily, I looked across the room.
Soren stretched and his arm fell onto my side of the bed. His arm moved around and suddenly, he sat up, fully alert and awake.
When his eyes fell on , he sighed and relaxed into the pillows again.
“Why are you up so early?” he asked.
His brow creased and he grabbed the necklace around his neck.
“And why is this on ?”
Slowly, I closed the book and sat up straighter. “Soren, I think we need to talk.”
Soren narrowed his eyes and frowned. “I’m not sure I like that tone this early in the morning. Mila, you’re scaring ...”
Smiling, I shook my head. “Don’t be. There’s nothing to be scared of.”
“Hmm, okay, then what do you want to talk about?”
Soren got up and put on so sweatpants. His strong, sculpted chest remained in full view and I bit my lip as my eyes automatically traced over his muscles.
“First, I need to apologize. I did overhear so of the conversation you had with Thomas last night.”
Soren arched an eyebrow at . “It’s okay, Mila. I figured that sooner or later; we’d have to talk about it, I an, my past.”
“Yeah, sooner or later...” I muttered. “I know you’ve been wanting to go back to your ho realm for over ten years. Where you’re from is mysterious to , but that doesn’t change the fact you want to go back. At least, for a visit. Right now, there is the perfect opportunity. And I don’t want you to miss it. Like Thomas said, who knows when the next ti will be.”
I spoke quickly. I wanted to get it all out before I had the chance to talk myself out of it.
Soren frowned. “Mila, do you not understand that you’re my mate? Why are you trying to send away?”
“I understand. And I couldn’t be more grateful to the Goddess that you’re my mate. But that’s why we are talking about this.”
I sighed and glanced down, worrying my hands in my lap.
“Soren, I’ll always be here for you. I’m not going anywhere and I don’t want to run away like before. We have so many years ahead of us, if and when you choose to co back—”
“Mila!”
He tried to interrupt but I continued, “You have no idea how hard this is for , Soren.”
I stood up and went to Soren. My hand brushed over the Moonlit Crystal that hung around his neck.
“Keep this for , please?”
Soren sighed, his eyes fixed on and his brow creased.
Nodding, I headed for the door when he didn’t say anything. Just as I reached for the knob...
“Mila, wait! Co back!”
I took a deep breath and plastered a smile on my face, turning to face him.
“Don’t worry, I’m only going out to run so errands. I’ll be back tonight. I... can’t bring myself to help you pack... I’m sorry.”
Tears ward in my eyes and I turned away, walking out the door.
I could feel Soren’s eyes still on as I left but I had no idea what he was thinking. Consciously, I shut down the mindlink because I knew this wasn’t easy on either of us.
He would need so space to make up his mind, and I would need to escape the house before running back and begging him to stay.
