“And to think I was about to do it again with my mate.” He took in a deep breath.
“Stop thinking like that,” I said, grabbing his face and making him look at me and not dwell in his memories. “That is not the case. I amfine. I am healthy. And we’re getting stronger. We’re learning.”
I could tell I was about to lose him again. That pain, loss, and grief were too much. So, I leaned forward and kissed him hard, needing him to stay with me. To be with me. It took a moment, but then Zilon finally relented, opening his mouth and sweeping his tongue through my mouth.
Heat crashed through me as we pressed against each other. My body ached for him; I’d missed being close to my mates like this. It was different this time. Zilon kissed along my jaw and down my neck, hitting all my sensitive spots as he nipped before then smoothing the slight sting with more kisses.
“Zilon,” I gasped as his hands slid over my body, making my skin pebble.
He moved us so he hovered over me and nestled between my legs, his hard cock pressing against me through his pants. He kicked off his pants in short order and raised my dress. A growl released from his throat when he saw me bare to him, already wet from the anticipation. Zilon’s face was all lust—all passion—yet also so fierce as his attention traveled over my body. It was as if he were about to devour me whole. Some fragile expression entered his eye before he leaned down and kissed my stomach.
Zilon’s whole body shook with how tight he was wound, as he fought against his instinct to just take me.
‘Stop holding back,’I said. ‘Take me. Let me show you how much I love you.’
That got a sharp breath from him before he growled out and moved back to kissing my body by making his way back up the lines of my torso
I rocked my hips so I could feel more of him, feel the length of his cock pressed against my core. I was ready for him, damn any prep work. I needed him slamming inside of me.
Zilon could feel my emotions, and when he claimed my lips, wrapping one of my legs around my waist, he slammed into me. Hard.
I gasped, unable to breath as I stretched around his massive cock. I almost thought my magic was going to reject him again, but then, he began moving, and it felt too fucking good. I pulled him closer to me, wrapping myself around him as he continued to fuck me into oblivion, exactly as I wanted.
Crying out, I clawed at his back as spasms erupted through my body, my orgasm already so close. Zilon lowered his head and sucked at the skin along my shoulder, biting down briefly as he tried to keep from coming.
I understood, trying my best too. I didn’t want this to be over. I wanted to just keep feeling him pounding inside of me, over and over, hitting my sweet spot and driving me insane.
His passion intensified, practically drowning me. I moaned as I clenched around him.
“Right there,” I gasped. “So good.”
Zilon growled as he picked up his speed, bucking hard inside of me, his cock going even deeper. He bit my ear, sending a delicious shiver through me. My whole body tightened the longer he pumped inside of me like a wild stallion. Zilon was completely letting go.
My vision grew white, and my body, too tightly strung for too long, finally snapped. I convulsed with a scream as the overwhelming orgasm tore through me. I could briefly feel Zilon releasing inside of me, my stomach growing impossible hot. His penis grew large, locking us in place. I held onto him as we both struggled to catch our breath.
He tried to pull back, but I whimpered as his cock tugged at me.
“Not yet, big boy,” I said as he froze above me.
“Sorry,” he said.
I played with his damp hair. “Don’t be. This was exactly what I needed.”
He gave me a tentative smile. “Me too.”
I licked my lips, noting the way he followed the movement. Now was as good a time as any to talk to him, since we literally couldn’t go anywhere as his cock and its knot ensured his cum remained inside of me.
“We are a team,” I said.
His gaze went from my lips to my eyes, as he raised his eyebrows.
“We are a team. You want to protect me, but you forget something. It’s the same for me too. I want to become stronger, so I can protect you all too. I don’t want to lose any more people by being inadequate.”
“Oh, Rayna. You are far from inadequate. Far from it.” He leaned down and pecked my lips.
I tugged his hair to yank his head back so I could talk to him. “That means nothing is ever your fault. If something happens to me, to the other guys, to the people around you, the blame isn’t just on you. It’s shared between all of us. You get me?”
He blinked, swallowing hard.
