20. New Quarters
NEW QUARTERS
GAIRO
M y pregnant heart-mate woke me up by blowing me. We were in brand new quarters on this continent, since I refused outright to go back to my childhood quarters or take Magdorian’s place. I had never considered being a warlord on my own. I was content to follow Soren and one day, Soren’s successor. I didn’t think I’d lead my own clan.
When I came, my mate swallowed it and then nestled her cheek on my bare shoulder. My whole body felt warm. I had never been more content. I had checked my pregnant heart-mate as much as I could since I concluded the fight with Magdorian’s headless body, but all the blood on her wasn’t actually from her.
I was glad that my little thief had used her hair pins to get her and Rathgar out of their cell. I didn’t like that we had been ambushed and I had failed to keep her safe that night, although I had killed some men at that time.
“Baby, I’m sorry about this mess. I should’ve taken more precautions when you told me about Magdorian and Zyloxia.”
“You have a lifetime to make it up to me. I’m not letting you get that far away from me ever again.”
“I thought that you were going to explore the galaxy after the contract ended.”
“How about you take me out when you go out on raids?”
“We’ll see about that.” On one hand, she would save me from a lifetime of loneliness. On the other, Soren didn’t take his heart-mate out for any battles or raids. I shuddered at the idea of her getting hurt.
“How do you feel about leading the clan? We could always escape into the galaxy if you don’t want the burden.”
“We’ll stay long enough to see if I like it. If we run away, you’ll help me fly.”
She toyed with me a little bit, and I felt my body stir.
“I think we have time before Soren shows up.”
I kissed my heart-mate, and I let my hand drift between her thighs. She bucked her hips as I stimulated her clitoris and got her wet. I explored her body as she made noises in the back of her throat.
“Thirsty, aren’t we?”
In reply, she flipped us over. Her hands explored my body, paying me back for tormenting her. When I was a few seconds away from releasing, she slid over me. I felt like the top of my head would blow off. I couldn’t breathe as she worked her body over mine. The feeling of her muscles clenched around me made me unable to speak, either.
When she finally let me find completion, she eased off of my body. While we cleaned up, I kissed my heart-mate. She was everything that I had dreamed of and more. I was glad that she was pregnant with my child.
