Chapter Nine #2
“I don’t care.” He grabbed her and kissed her hard.
“Thank the gods you are alive and breathing. What the fuck just happened? I was already on my way here when I got the message from the damn app. Then, I realized I couldn’t contact you, and I almost lost my fucking mind.
I teleported here and took the portal down to find you and walked into that fucking hurricane.
Thank the gods those vines dragged me in here, or I never would have found you. ”
“My magic isn’t working again,” she muttered against his neck. “I could only reach you through the app.”
Grabbing hold of her shoulders, he stared up at her in alarm. His gaze tracked lower, then his eye widened in alarm. He sat up and reached for her amulet. He tried to tug it off her, but it remained in place. His eyes narrowed as he used more force to pull, but the chain still didn’t break.
“What—?”
“It’s glowing. I think this fucking amulet is cursed. We have to get it off you.”
As if responding to his attack, the pressure in her chest immediately increased until it was almost unbearable. It felt like something had wrapped around her throat, completely cutting off her air. Her vision began to blur, and she clawed at her neck in desperation.
With a growl, Remy grabbed the chain with both hands and pulled with all his might, adding a touch of his own magic to increase his strength.
He was finally able to tear the amulet off of her, the glow disappearing the instant the chain broke.
Wanting it away from them, he flung it across the space.
Instead of hitting the wall of roots, a small hole opened up, allowing the cursed amulet to fly out into the storm.
Wrapping an arm around her waist, he pulled her tight against his chest and buried his face against her neck. Even that wasn’t close enough to satisfy him. He wanted to fuse them together until no space existed between them.
“I love you, Starla. I love you so fucking much that it scares me. I can’t lose you. It would be the end of me if anything happened to you.”
“Nothing will happen to me,” she assured. “I’m right here.”
Trembling, he nuzzled against her, inhaling her sweet scent to try to calm the raging emotions swirling within him.
He couldn’t stand knowing the amulet had blocked their bond.
Now that he could sense her again, even that deep closeness couldn’t quench the overwhelming need he felt for her.
It was a gnawing ache inside him, a desperate longing to fully merge with her and erase any distance that might linger between them.
He needed to claim her again to find solace from the fear and chaos that had just threatened to tear them apart. To reaffirm their bond, forgetting everything else while they lost themselves in one another.
Taking several deep breaths, he tried to calm his racing heart. It wasn’t working, though. The adrenaline surging through his system was making it impossible for him to calm his turbulent emotions.
Giving in to his desire for her, he claimed her mouth in a brutal kiss. A surge of satisfaction swept through him when she wrapped her arms around his neck and clung to him. His mate didn’t try to soothe the beast raging within him. Instead, she met his passion with her own.
“I need you, mate,” he admitted. “Right here, right now.”
“I need you, too, Remy. You are my mate, my love, my everything.”
She returned his kisses with equal fervor, each stroke of her tongue a soothing balm against his frayed nerves, even as it stoked his burning need to possess her.
Desperate to feel her bare skin under his seeking palms, he used his magic to get rid of both of their clothes.
He growled at the feeling of her soft skin against his, but it still wasn’t enough to satisfy him.
He needed more.
Rolling her underneath him, he used his knees to part her legs so he could settle his large body between them.
Pleasure shot through him as he rubbed his thick cock against her slick pussy.
Feeling her wet and ready for him made him ache to possess her.
She moaned against his mouth as the bulbous head of his cock slid against her swollen clit, and he used the weight of his body to hold her in place when her hips began rocking against him.
His need for her bordered on madness, but he wouldn’t let her rush him.
He wanted more than just to possess her body.
He wanted to reclaim her soul. Tilting her head back, his mouth moved down to lick and suck along the graceful column of her neck.
She shivered as he gently nipped at the delicate flesh with his teeth, then she wrapped her arms around his head as if begging for more.
She gasped as he sank his fangs into his mating mark at the base of her neck at the same time he thrust his cock deep inside her.
Claiming her body and her blood was only the first step, and he pushed his magic into her to complete the exchange.
Licking the wound on her neck closed, he shifted to claim her mouth with his again, sharing the taste of her essence with her in a primal declaration.
She was his, just as he belonged to her.
He began thrusting his cock inside of her, using slow, measured movements.
She was so fucking hot and wet, and he savored the exquisite feeling of her tight muscles squeezing around his thick shaft.
Shifting his hips, he made sure to rub against her sensitive clit with each deep, hard thrust. His large hands raced over her body, stroking every inch of smooth skin he could reach.
He reveled in their shared passion. The flames of desire sparked and sizzled between them with each thrust, growing hotter and brighter as he began to move faster. Unable to hold back, he started pounding himself into her, satisfying the primitive side of himself that he usually tried to contain.
Her own joy and pleasure drove him on. Her easy acceptance of him made him feel like the luckiest bastard in the six realms. They came together in a clash of passion, desperation, and urgent demand. But over and above it all, what brought them together was love.
Pure, untainted love between fated mates.
“Mine,” he snarled. “My mate.”
“And you are mine,” she asserted back.
She let out a wild cry as she came, her pussy clamping down on his cock in a grip so tight he could barely move. Her silvery blue gaze locked on his as she slapped her hand on his chest, and he groaned as he felt her magic flooding into him.
The erotic combination of sensations completely overwhelmed him.
He let out a loud roar as his body exploded and he filled her with hard, hot pulses of his release.
The climax was so intense that his vision blurred, and his entire body shuddered against the onslaught as white-hot pleasure shot through him, burning him alive.
Every time they came together, it was better than the last.
Theirs was a bond forged not just in passion but in destiny itself.
It went beyond mere physical attraction or mutual understanding.
They were two souls brought together by fate but bonded by love.
Every experience they shared, every moment of intimacy, only served to strengthen the connection between them.
Through every challenge, every hardship, and every triumph, they would remain united, bound together by a devotion that could never be undone.
Their hearts, souls, and destinies would forever be entwined, and nothing would ever come between them ever again.
