Then he laid her back on the bed of moss and gently nibbled and nipped his way up her inner thigh.
Lilith was completely exposed to him, vulnerable in a way only a mate would be and she couldn’t stop her happy tears. His teeth joined in the assault of her body and she moaned when he moved close to the very center of her.
“I will take you, all of you, you are mine now, Lilith, and I will never let you go,” his heated whisper caressed her flesh, breaking her out in a wash of goosebumps.
Arching her spine, she hissed when his lips finally landed on the center of her. Wild with desire and lust, she shuddered under his touch. His tongue stroked her and she shoved her fingers through his hair, writhing and keening in ecstasy.
“Come, my love. Come for me.”
With one final, gentle pull, she fractured apart in his arms and she felt not only the rush of her orgasm spiral through her, but she was bathed in the radiance of his joy pumping through her blood.
Forever she would feel Giles inside of her, his emotions hers and hers his. Crawling up her body, he left a trail of wet kisses along her navel, her breasts, the column of her throat, and then finally he took her lips.
She tasted her scent on him and grinned.
His skin was already heating under her touch, and she couldn’t wait to bathe in the fires of his desire once again.
“So how did I do?” he asked with a twinkle in his eyes.
She wiggled her hips on the bit of steel wrapped in velvet poking against her thigh. “Pretty darn good, knight. But now I definitely think,” she said, shifting just enough so that when she opened her thighs he slide right in, “it’s my turn to make you sing.”
He sucked in a sharp breath, eyes squeezing shut, and planting his forehead against hers as she slowly undulated on him.
Giles stretched her, and there’d been a sharp but very temporary burst of pain that was soon washed away in the pleasure of being taken. The glow of flame burned brightly just beneath his skin and he smiled as he circled his hips, driving deeper into her.
Wrapping her legs around his waist, she nipped at his jawline. “I love you, my knight.”
His arms trembled and he gave a low, sexy chuckle. “Say that one more time and I won’t be able to last.”
Going still for just a second, feeling pleasantly stretched, she stared at him until he turned his eyes to her with a question burning in their depths.
Then he feathered his knuckles down her cheeks. “Don’t regret this, little wolf?”
“No.” She shook her head sharply. “Never. Do you?”
His smile stretched from ear to ear and he shifted just enough to make the hunger inside her swell back to life.
“Lilith, I want you to live with me, as my bride, at the castle. We can come back to your woods whenever you wish, but the thought of leaving you—”
She covered his lips with her hands. “I was going to come whether you asked me or not. You are my pack, you are my world, knight. Where you are is home. And if you have to rush off to do whatever for Rumpel I will wait and love you no matter what.”
He kissed her softly, languidly. Nipping at her bottom lip as he laved his tongue gently across its fullness. Moaning, she moved on him slowly, gripping his powerful biceps with her nails and marveling that this man was truly hers now, forever.
“I will honor my prince in all things,” he said softly, “but my allegiance, my heart, and my soul, it is all yours. And Rumple may not like it, but that’s the way it is, my beautiful mate.”
She let the words fill her heart and her soul and this time when she came he did, too, and when it was over and they lay entwined underneath a canopy of stars staring up at the brightness of the moon, they both knew that their new life would be a journey far greater than any they’d ever taken before…

Author’s Note
Several months back I ran a contest for my street team where I told them I'd choose four winners to be inserted as characters within this story. Karis, Rayale, Kym, and Ying Lor won. Those ladies were amazing, they not only gave me the descriptions of what they wanted their characters to look like, but also who they wanted them to be. So while the words and plot were my own, I could never have dreamed up these girls. And I think it turned out amazing. So amazing in fact that they wound up becoming big players in the book itself. So while I'd love to take credit for the awesome characters I felt it only right to give those ladies some mad props for being such creative geniuses!
