Chapter Sixteen
“I’ll always choose you, Aurora. Like those big ass trees you and your sister found shelter in, you stood tall and didn’t snap under pressure many others in your position would’ve.
No matter how long we have on this Earth, I want my time to be with you.
If we’re blessed with young, you’ll be the most amazing mama they could ever ask for. ”
“I’m so fucking happy with you, but there’s something I need. I want my sister home, but she said she wants to make sure you’re good with her coming here, or she won’t come. Savage, if she—”
He covered her mouth with his finger. “Your sister is my family as well as yours. Of course, she’s welcome. Our home is her home.”
“What about Scepter’s aversion of her?”
His best friend and second had made it abundantly clear he would do everything in his power to avoid Starla if and when she returned. “He will respect Starla, and if he doesn’t, then we have another Family in need of a head.”
The pain of his absence would hurt, but losing Aurora wasn’t negotiable, and he knew she couldn’t live without her sister.
“She wants to return tomorrow.”
He flashed them to their primary suite and sent a message to Scepter. The other male murmured a thank you and disconnected their link.
“Is he okay?” Aurora asked.
He lay her on the bed, climbing in next to her. “Yeah, he’ll be fine.”
The next day, he woke up to the feel of soft hair tickling his thighs. He sucked in a breath, sifting his hands through her dark tresses. “Fuck,” he breathed.
“Hmm,” she mumbled around his dick.
He stared down at her mouth wrapped firmly around the head of his cock, bobbing up and down slowly. She gazed up at him with a look of lust and love he wanted to memorize.
“Shit, I’m going to come if you keep doing that,” he mumbled.
She wrapped her hand around the base and squeezed, making his eyes cross.
Savage’s hands were gripping her hair, moving her, guiding her head up and down, pushing himself between her lips. He could feel the back of her throat with each thrust as she reached behind her head and pressed against his hand instead of trying to pull away.
Suddenly, he realized she was giving him permission to keep going. Shit, he didn’t want to hurt her, but fuck, her throat constricting around the tip of his cock felt amazing.
“I want to feel you. See if I can. Help me,” she said through their link.
He took her at her word and pushed upward, giving her more as he pulled her down. Her audible gag had him stopping and tugging her head back.
She sucked in air. “Did I tell you to stop?” she asked.
“Female, I’m the one in charge here, not you.”
He pulled her up and rolled them, slamming his cock inside her dripping wet pussy. They both moaned. He held completely still, letting her adjust to his size. “You fit me like a glove, my love.”
“Well, my throat would’ve as well,” she pouted.
“Next time,” he promised.
“I’ll hold you to that.”
“How did I get so fucking lucky?” he asked.
She blinked up at him. “I feel like I’m the lucky one. I see you, all of you. Your darkness, your light, you try to hide. Your shadows, which I find beautiful. Everything about you that’s uniquely you.”
He rested his forehead on hers for a moment, drinking in the beauty he’d been gifted.
“You were created by the Goddess herself. I will never take your love for granted, Vita Mea. My heart aches with the thought of never having found you. In truth, I feel as though I’ve loved you since the moment I took my first breath, and I’ll love you until I take my last.”
She lifted her legs higher on his back. “I’ll love you longer and not allow you to stop breathing before me, so there,” she said, pulling his head down and stealing his breath away.
“We’ll see about that.” His dick was as hard as granite, and his need was making him nearly as rabid as any feral breed. He pulled out, resting the tip inside her, staring down at where they connected. “One day, I’m going to fuck your ass.”
She froze. “I don’t think you...or your thing will fit.”
Savage tossed his head back, laughing while his body fought the urge to prove just how well he’d fit. “Ah, my sweet, innocent mate. I promise to show you all the ways we will fit.”
Aurora trembled below him as her pleasure vibrated as he pressed his cock inside her body fully. She was warm and Goddess above, the euphoria he experienced was unparalleled as he felt her inner muscles grip him each time he shifted in and out.
“You feel so good inside me, Savage,” she moaned, her body bucking against his, and her hands held his shoulders.
He slipped one between them, aiming for her clit and rubbing soft circles over the swollen little nub.
Her soft cry egged him on as he moved in and out, prolonging her orgasm, and then he felt the tingles of his own begin.
The hot flare of ecstasy hit him fast and sharp.
Her cum made it easy for him to glide in and out.
He moved to rest on his forearms, his lips at her ear. “I love you, Aurora.”
Her whimper shifted into a groan as he pulled out and pushed in, grinding his dick in swift, hard motions and hitting her G-spot with each downward pump.
Her eyes were dark with unrestrained lust and love.
His fangs ached with the need to mark and claim her.
When she tipped her neck to the side, he struck, unable to stop himself.
Her pussy convulsed around him again, taking him over the edge.
He drank, feeling her love and acceptance of all he was as they came together.
When he retracted his teeth, he sealed the wound and rolled them to the side.
“Are you okay, my love?” he asked.
“I’m g...good. Goddess, you make me lose my mind when we’re together. Will it always be so overwhelming?” She sucked in a ragged breath. “I mean, I feel powerful after you and I are together.”
He brushed her hair back from her face. “It’s the bond between us, Vita Mea.
You and I share one another’s abilities, I believe.
I can feel what you do. I’ve never felt as much as I do now.
Before bonding with you, I—things were more grey.
Now, they’re vibrant. Also, I believe I could tap into your shifter abilities if I needed to do so. ”
She shifted to lie on top of him. “You mean, like becoming a wolf?”
He gripped her hips, helping to steady her.
His muscles vibrated with the effort it took not to thrust her onto his semi-hardness.
“I don’t think it’s the same as yours, but I can’t be for sure.
We should take a trip up north, where I have some property.
I have over a hundred acres of wooded land where you and I can explore this development further. I know you and your wolf need to run.”
She moved back, her pussy teasing the tip of his cock, making them both groan. “Female, you’re playing a perilous game.”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about, my love.” She batted her long lashes at him, wiggling her hips as she took him back inside her.
His eyes widened. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
With those words, he pushed her down on his cock until they were completely fused together.
Deep growls left them both as they began to move in perfect synchronization.
She threw her head back, her breasts on perfect display as he helped her ride him.
Fuck, he was the luckiest son-of-vampire in all of eternity.
Hours later, he held his mate in his arms, knowing he’d battle Lucifer himself to keep her safe. “Are you happy, my love?” he asked her.
She stirred, a yawn cracking her jaw. Blue eyes turned serious. Time ticked by, making Savage think she wasn’t going to answer him.
“For the longest time, I didn’t think there was such a thing as love.
I realize you have to pick your own happiness, like you would diamonds.
You can’t always go out and buy the biggest real one, so you do the next best thing and find some created ones.
You choose not to settle for nothing, you choose to find your happiness, and if going for lab-diamonds because the real ones are out of reach, then you go for it.
Happiness doesn’t always show up at your door, knocking softly.
You’re not the type of male to ask. You take what you want and ask for forgiveness later.
You’ve taught me I can have happiness, and that I’m worthy of everything I’ve been given. ”
“Ah, Vita Mea. You’ll never have to settle for second best or lab shit from me. I’ll dig until I find you the biggest, best diamonds the world has to offer, if that’s what you want.”
She shook her head. “If I have you, I’m eternally happy. Oh, and my sister. I need her happy, too.”
Savage didn’t want to tell her she wasn’t in charge of her sister’s happiness. They both knew Starla would need to find her own way to that place.
