His mind battered against hers, demanding entrance, and she spread her legs wider and wrapped them around his waist. With his hands on her hips, he carefully moved between her legs, slid the head of his cock along her slick folds then nudged at her entrance. “Do you accept me, all of me?”
“You’re my mate, my fierce protector. I shall always accept all of you.” She grasped his buttocks and looking deep into his eyes, pulled him ever closer. “Join us together and consummate our vows.”
With a deep roar, he plunged inside her, tore through her barrier below and as he did, his mind barreled deep inside hers. She welcomed all of him, both body and mind and reveled in their intense joining. There was naught she wanted more than to share all that she was with him, for him to make her his in every way. They were soul bound, each born to be the other’s mate, from now until the end of time.
Tavish held perfectly still, his body buried deep within Julia’s, his mind moving swiftly to forge the merged link that would only ever be theirs. He cemented the link, her thoughts wrapping around his as he whispered into her mind, “You’re my true mate, the one who holds the other half of my soul, just as I hold the other half of yours.”
“Aye, never have I felt so as one with another,” she murmured, her grip firm on his butt. “Or so wholly and perfectly full.”
“I’ll take this slow until you to get used to the feel of me.” He looked deep into her eyes and she smiled. He could drown in her smile and be a happy man as he did. “Keep your mind fully open to mine so I’ll know if I’m causing more pain than pleasure. I’ll stop if I do.”
“I am well, Tavish. There was a moment of pain but now ’tis gone. Look inside my mind and you shall see the truth.” She rocked underneath him. “I cannae halt what my body needs. I wish for you to move, to feel you sliding in and out of me, to feel your pleasure in doing so. We were made for each other.”
“You say the most beautiful things.” He dipped his head, molded his mouth to hers and kissed her. Ever so slowly, he slid his cock back out then as gently as he could, pushed all the way back in. She moaned her pleasure, her eyelids fluttering and every inch of her hot channel hugged him, the exquisite pressure tightening his balls to the point of pain. Hell, he wouldn’t be able to hold on for long at this rate, except he had to. He intended to see to her pleasure once more before he came. He wanted her to experience only the sweetest joining with him.
“I can sense your thoughts. You’re thinking of my pleasure first. You wish to come but no’ afore I do once more.” She licked his neck, right over the mark she’d given him.
“Good. Then you know the plan.” He nipped her bottom lip then nibbled along her jaw and down her neck until he reached her thumping pulse point. Her soft, creamy skin looked ripe and ready for another mark, an entire series of marks. He intended for everyone to know she was his and no other’s.
“Your thoughts are even more territorial than I thought they would be.” She rubbed her thumb over the hollow on the other side of his neck and licked her lips, her own desire to mark him in the same way clear to see. “I wish to bite you again as well, for all to know you are mine and that I’ve accepted our bond in every way. I belong to you, just as you belong to me.”
“I love how you think.” He moved deeper inside her, and she met each of his thrusts with one of her own.
“Oh, that feels sooo good. You fill me completely, inside me below and within my mind. There is naught more enchanting than this bond.” She thrashed underneath him, her teeth scraping back and forth over his neck.
“Do it, Julia.” He stretched to give her better access and she when she cried out and clamped her teeth down on him, he roared his pleasure and sank his teeth into her neck in return.
Her inner channel tightened wickedly around him and she lapped the new mark then inched along his neck and bit him again. “You’re my mate, my bear.” Her arousal flew down their link and swamped him. “Have to—must—”
Her channel contracted, pulsing over and over and he could no longer hold back. He bit the other side of her neck and bucking into her, came in a hot rush, his essence spurting thick and heavy to her core. No one could ever separate them, not now, not ever. She was his, always his.
“Dinnae leave me.” Her lashes fluttered down and she softly sighed. “Stay right where you are, my handfast husband.”
“I’ll never leave you. You’re my mate, the one woman I’ve waited a lifetime for.”
“You have my thanks, for bringing me so much pleasure.” Smiling, she succumbed to sleep and he carefully pulled out and tucked her safely within his arms.
He tightened his hold on her mind, both him and his bear so content. Through the vent above, the sky darkened and he allowed the pull of the coming night to tug him under. They’d remain here until the morning, then begin the search for her parents once the new day had dawned. He needed this night with her and he intended to take it.
Satisfaction rolled through him as he slipped further toward the dark.
Heavenly sleep took him.
