ANDERS
“ O h my god! Why didn’t you tell me what you were doing?” Her tears soak my shirt and I smile into her soft, sweet-smelling hair. Like dewdrops on a rose. She’s light to my dark.
“I knew you wouldn’t go.”
She swats me and ducks her head. “What if he hadn’t broken it?”
“Then I would gladly have suffered all of hell’s fire to make sure that you were safe.”
“You’re a bastard.”
I grin. “I never claimed not to be. I’m a demon.”
“Trickster,” growls Saar. “Don’t make me regret helping you.” The sheriff growls behind him.
“I already do.”
But both men leave us and I hold her tight.
“I want to claim you now. I’m free and I need you protected and safe. This is the best way. It will make it almost impossible to kill you unless I die. And that’s no easy feat either,”I chuckle.
She nods her head frantically. “Yes, now. I don’t want to spend another minute without knowing that you’re mine. Forever.”
“It will hurt a little.”
“I don’t care. I will gladly walk through the fires of hell to be with you for our own eternity.”
I kiss her and the soft feel of her under my hands almost breaks me. I don’t deserve a woman like her.
But fuck if I’m giving her up.
“Hold tight, mate.” I swing her up and around until we’re lying on the couch. It takes mere seconds and one nail to strip her bare and I shred my own clothes, aching to bury myself inside her. That glimpse of her in hell shook me to my core and I will not take anymore chances with her safety.
I groan and slide up until I’m poised at her entrance. I run a claw over her soft white breast and she hisses out a breath. “Hold tight. I can’t hang on here. I need you so bad.”
And with one long thrust I’m buried up to my knot inside her. The knot takes a few more thrusts and a pained gasp from her but then it’s inside and we grind and groan, our bodies entwined in a dance of destiny.
Her eyes lift and I see her orgasm coming, feel her walls tightening around my cock, wringing all of my seed out. I growl when she goes over the crest and screams her love and pleasure. I follow, our bodies writhing in so much pleasure that it feels like my whole body is floating. My seed erupts and paints her walls and then she groans and collapses in my arms. My hand burns her hip and she moans in pain and pleasure.
My knot growls until it’s painfully tight but she doesn’t even flinch. Just smiles happily, mistily at me. More at peace than she’s ever looked to me.
I run my fingers through her hair and hold her tight. “You’re mine now. Branded for all time.”
She smiles at me, her light blue eyes joyful. “I was always meant to be yours. I wish I’d found you sooner.”
“I do too. My future would have started sooner and I could have loved you longer.”
She laughs and trails her fingers down my belly. “But not harder.”
I throw my head back, happily laughing. “I’ll try better next time, my love.”
And I will. She deserves everything I can give her. She’s my everything. I’ve never believed in magic but here? In this place? I found my own brand of magic in the love of a beautiful, gentle Angel come to earth.
And when the Devil brings his fight? I’ll stand by her side and defend her every damned day of our lives.
