“Ilove you,” he whispered into my ear when he was braced over me. “Idon’t know ifIsaid that earlier, butIdo.Iknow this has all happened quickly, but that is the way with our kind.TheEternalMagicknows what she’s doing when she brings us together.”

“Ilove you too,”Isaid, trying to pour all my feelings into that one short, but powerful sentence.

Hepressed his face into my neck and shivered. “Withoutyou,Imight not have taken the chance at bonding withWillowLake.Imight not have stopped hunting through the pack lands.Myteam may have decidedIwas no longer in control.Withoutyou,Imight have been killed today.NormallywhenIchange into my demonic form,Iam still fully me.Buttoday,Iwas lost.Littlemore than a puppet for my demonic side to use.Ibarely recognized my team other than that they were mine.Ididn’t know their names.Theyknew something was different.Itwould have been impossible for them not to notice.Youare the reasonI’mhere right now.Butmore than that, you are everything to me.Iwould do anything for you.”

Hewas right.Thingscould have gone horribly wrong today.Ididn’t want to think about that.Ijust wanted to focus on everything that had gone right.

“Gage,”Iwhispered, overwhelmed by our combined emotions flowing through me.

Thenhe kissed my neck as his warm, firm touch explored my chest.Hishard length rubbed against mine, andIrocked against him.Skinagainst skin.Ishould have been exhausted after the day we’d endured but tethering myself toGagehad invigorated me.

“You’regoing too slow,”Icomplained.

Thenhis hand clamped onto my waist, and he dragged me with him as he rolled to his side.Ourhands and mouths explored and teased.Itwas exquisite torture, and somedayImight want to see how long we lasted just teasing one another.

Todaywas not that day.

Ididn’t want to linger and savor and enjoy.Iwanted to conquer and be conquered.Iwanted to fuck and be fucked.Iwanted to come with him over and over again until we passed out from pure exquisite bliss.

WhenIdidn’t thinkIcould take anymore,Ipushed against his shoulders, and he obliged me by rolling onto his back.ThenIreached for his stash of lube in the compartment in his headboard.Itwas still pretty full, butIwished we’d picked up more.

DidWillowLakehave a late-night delivery service?Probablynot.We’dhave to make do with what we had.Icovered my palm in lube, then reached for him.Hiscock felt perfect in my hand, and it’d feel even better when it was inside me.Iadded more lube.Heclenched his teeth and dug his fingers into the bedding.

“Fuck…Jake…”

“That’sthe idea,”Isaid, throwing in a saucy wink just for the hell of it.

Helaughed, andIloved how his whole face lit up when he did.Hewas gorgeous like this, all relaxed and happy.Iwanted to make him laugh again and again.

ThenIreached around and prepped myself.Iwas still new to this, butIunderstood enough to make sureIwas loosened enough to accommodate him.Gagewas well-endowed, andIdidn’t want him to call inTeagueto work his healing magic on my ass becauseI’dbeen too impatient.AndIcould seeGagedoing exactly that if he thoughtIwas hurt.

Finally,Igrunted and took my hand away.

“Ready?”

“YouknowIam,”Isaid asIlowered myself over his cock.Thiswas the same position we’d been in the first time we made love, andIliked the symmetry of doing it like this again now that we’d bonded.Igroaned at the way he filled me asIsank lower. “Youcan see my greatest wish…Ihave no secrets from you.”Ipanted, bracing myself on his chest as he took control.

Gage’seyes darkened to the rich red of his demon form, chasing away the white, as his magic rose.Fuck, he was hot.Thenhe moaned at whatever he’d seen in my head.Hetightened his grip on my waist and flipped us over.Hisskin reddened and his horns gleamed as he grinned down at me.

“EverythingIhave and all thatIam, including my wishes and dreams,Iam happy to share with you.Alwaysand forever,”Ipromised.

“Mine,” he roared.Thenhe pounded into me, hitting my prostate with every single thrust.ThenIfelt my magic surge, soaring to meet his.Theblack-and-red wisps of his twirled with the white of mine until they blended and became one.

Themost beautiful images danced between us.Itwas our life.Together.Foreverand ever.Iwanted to memorize every part of it, but the pleasure was too much.Icouldn’t hold back.

Icame with a shout, shooting across my chest just a heartbeat beforeGagedid.Hethrew his head back and roared.Andthe magic we’d created drifted onto our bodies, just like it had before.Itfilled the gaps left among those images formed when we’d bonded, etching more details and color on our skin in the beautiful story of our life together.

Chapter Thirty-Eight

JAKE

Asdarkness fell and my stomach protested its hunger,Gagedecided we should check on the others and arrange some food.Whenwe joined everyone outside again,Iwas surprised to see so many familiar faces.Gage’steam was there, of course, but so were many of my regulars.

Vehiclesof every description were tucked into the parking lot and along the river road like a jigsaw puzzle.Somerebellious people must have ignored the caution tape and snuck into the pub, because the heavy wooden tables and chairs were now scattered around the area too.Andpeople were everywhere, laughing and eating and drinking.Itwas like a crowded tailgate party.

Gageguided me toward his friends standing withHayden,Van,Carter, andLevi.Onthe way, several people rushed over to congratulate us and offer gifts.Mostof the presents were forGage, but a few were for me.Gagesuggested they put them beside the motorhome, so we didn’t have to carry them around with us.DaphneandVanessahurried away to make it happen.

“Finallycoming up for air, hey?”Isaacasked, when we made it to where the team was standing.
