“I’ll need some of your blood, Dorian.” Riona held the vial out and removed the lid.
Dorian scored his thumb open with one sharp canine, then held his hand out, letting blood drip into the vial. Riona pulled the vial back and capped it. As she swirled the contents she began to chant in a language Jesenia didn’t understand. A soft glow emanated from the concoction. When she was finished she held it out to Jesenia.
“Drink.”
Jesenia accepted the vial and took off the lid. Others had already warned her about the sweet elixir that would make her veins warm. Her gaze met Dorian’s as she put the glass to her lips and downed the contents. As the warmth spread through her body, so did the love she felt for Dorian. “I love you, forever.”
“And I love you, Jesenia.”
“You are bound,” Riona said with a smile. “I wish you happiness.”
Jesenia heard the soft footfalls as the woman left but she didn’t take her eyes off Dorian, the man who managed to spark every emotion to life inside her. His hands went to her hips and she fell into his body willingly. His lips claimed hers in a sweet, slow kiss that had her toes curling. When he pulled back she sighed, laying her head on his chest. She’d come here in search of her muse, but she’d never thought she’d find a love so powerful and true.
“You honor me, Jesenia.”
She smiled. “I’m so happy that I found you.”
His hands skimmed down her back and he gripped her ass, pulling her body flush against his. She gasped as she felt the evidence of his arousal. “I swear you are ready to go at any time.”
He laughed. “Are you complaining?”
She titled her head so that she could look up at him. “No. Not at all.” He was so sexy. His green eyes shone with mischief. “But I’m thinking the middle of the woods isn’t a good place for this. I’m all for spontaneity, but having twigs dig into the flesh of my ass, I think I can pass on.”
He chuckled, tossing his head back. “Yes. You have a point.”
She sighed as he released her and took her hand in his. They settled into a leisurely pace as they walked. She wasn’t exactly sure where they were headed but she trusted him not to get her lost.
“Are you sad about giving up your bachelor ways?”
He lifted their joined hands and placed a kiss on the back of hers. “No. In fact, I had started to wonder if I would ever find someone to be my mate. I never thought I’d find it in the form of a little hellion who didn’t know how to keep her nose where it belonged.” He glanced at her with a smile. “But in all the years I’ve been alive, I should have known to expect the unexpected.”
“I just hope that I make you as happy as you make me.”
He stopped and turned her to face him. His hand came up to cup the side of her face and he tilted her head back so that her gaze remained locked with his. “Happy doesn’t do justice to what you make me. For the first time in my life I feel complete. And that’s because of you. The many years I’ve lived have been such a lonely existence. I never really knew just how lonely until you came along.”
She melted against him as he took possession of her mouth. The passionate kiss had her toes curling and a warmth spreading through her body. She loved this man more than she ever thought she could love another person.
He tore his lips from hers and trailed kisses and nibbles down her neck. “My Jesenia. I love you so much.”
Desire coursed through her and she moaned as he ground his pelvis against her. “I love you too.”
When his mouth met hers again she slid her fingers into his hair and kissed him with every ounce of wanting that pulsed through her. Suddenly the forest floor didn’t sound so bad. She wanted him inside her—wanted to fuse her body to his.
He growled, releasing her lips. “I was trying to make it to the abandoned cottage, but I want you. Now.”
Jesenia loved the way his raw, husky voice rumbled his chest. She pushed her aching breasts against his body. “Yes.”
It was all the encouragement he needed. His fingers worked the fastenings of her jeans and she jerked her shirt over her head. Her jeans and panties were around her ankles in no time. Dorian sank to his knees and sat back on his heels. As he freed his cock from his pants she made quick work of removing her bra.
His hands cupped the backs of her knees and his gaze roamed over her slowly. She shivered with desire as she watched him. He looked at her with such raw hunger and need.
“Nothing could ever be more beautiful to me,” he whispered.
She bit into her lower lip as he peeled his shirt from his body. The tan muscles rippled with his movement, making her want to lick and nibble each and every inch of him.
He dug his fingers into the bends of her knees, urging her forward. The sensual smile on his face made her core tingle in anticipation. Liquid warmth coated her labia. She was ready for him—ready to feel his hot, hard cock slide into her pussy.
As he tugged her forward she braced her palms against his powerful shoulders. Her fingers bit into his flesh as he pulled her down to straddle his lap.
Dorian leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on the swell of one breast. “I know you said you didn’t want twigs in your arse, so this is the best I can do for now.”
She sucked in a hissed breath as his teeth skimmed over her nipple. “Fuck the twigs. I don’t give a damn.” She reached down between their bodies and rubbed the head of his dick across her opening. “Just take me.”
He drew her nipple into his mouth as his hands gripped her hips and pulled her down onto his cock. They both moaned as he stretched and filled her.
“Ah, my sweet Jesenia. So hot, wet and ready for me.”
She rocked her hips forward. He nipped at the tender flesh of her breast with a growl. His grip tightened on her hips. Jesenia couldn’t stop the sound of pleasure that escaped her lips as he lifted her, then slammed her back down onto his hard cock. When he repeated the motion she held his shoulders tight and let the ecstasy of his fucking crash over her.
The metal of his zipper bit into the skin on her leg but she didn’t care. Nothing could overpower the sweet sensations of sex that made her body hum with awareness. With each hard thrust he drove her higher. Her pussy creamed more and more with each in-and-out slide.
As her muscles tightened she felt the swell of pleasure begin to crest. Her pussy pulsed and grasped his dick as her orgasm hit her. She screamed his name into the air, not caring who heard or saw them. This moment was about them and only them.
One of his hands came up to fist in her hair, pulling her head back as he bit into the flesh of her shoulder where it met her neck. “Mine!”
The words were a possessive growl that made her shiver with delight. “Yes. Yours. Only yours. Forever.”
With one last thrust he moaned and she felt his orgasm inside her.
“Forever,” he whispered.
