nipped while his hand squeezed the other nipple.
Allana’s hand clasped his head to her as she struggled to breathe through the sensations overwhelming her. Energy arced between them. Her eyes opened to watch white strands radiate from their bodies and twined together. The dance of energy braided together, reentering each of them joined and fortified.
His head lifted.
She tugged on a hank of his hair. “Don’t you dare stop.”
He flashed a grin. “I didn’t plan to.”
She returned his smile. “Good. I’d have to teleport you out into the cold if you did.”
Chuckling, he nuzzled her breasts and moved lower.
At the flick of his tongue on the sensitive skin of her stomach, she gripped the sheets in tight fists and tried to braced herself for the next sensual assault. Nothing prepared Allana for the rising passion when his thumb stroked the ultrasensitive spot between her legs. Her back arched off the bed. “Luc!”
His hand pressed down on her stomach. “Relax. Let me pleasure you.”
Pleasure her ? Try turning her inside out, having her quiver in anticipation, setting every nerve afire.
His mouth closed over the nub, and she inhaled harshly with an uncontrolled buck of her hips. He licked and nipped, relentless in spite of her whimpers. First one then two fingers slid inside her. She lost the fight to control her reaction. Her moan floated free as her body pressed toward him, demanding more.
Thank the Goddess he complied. His fingers moved in and out as his tongue lapped at her juices.
“So, sweet,” he murmured.
His nose nuzzled her as the prickle of several days growth sent little shocks through her system.
His mouth closed over her again and fire shot into her womb. “Oh, Goddess above.”
He watched her, his fingers never stopping their magical work. “Oh, Goddess above, indeed. You’re hot and ready for me.” Grinning, he moved up and over her, levering himself with his elbows on either side of her.
She swallowed hard at the sight of him. He had grown larger and harder since they started. Faking calm, she forced herself to remain as relaxed as possible as every fiber of her body screaming for more.
She stared into moss green eyes filled with tenderness and lust. Her hands stroked his back, urging him into her.
With one swift movement, he sheathed himself inside her. Her warmth embraced him, accepting him as his penis butted the entrance to her womb. His mouth covered hers, his tongue capturing hers, mimicking the thrust of his cock.
Within seconds, her toes curled and her body convulsed. He pumped harder, faster. She came apart as he threw his head back and moaned, a grimace marring his face. Every nerve, every atom of her essence exploded outward with their climax and entered Luc. In that instant, she felt his pleasure, her pleasure, and understood the true meaning of souls joining.
“You’ll be the death of me,” he murmured, easing out of her and pulling her atop him. He jerked the comforter over them. “Get some rest, sweetheart.”
She rubbed the side of her face on his chest. “Just a short nap. Then can we do it again?” At the silent shake of his chuckle beneath her, she smiled.
“Whatever you want, sweetheart.”
A burst of pleasure, or perhaps pride, washed through her at his response. He hadn’t paused, hadn’t given himself time to close himself off. He wanted her again.
He was hers.

“Shush, love,” Luc whispered. Clasping Allana’s wet face, he kissed the tears from her cheeks and brushed back sodden strands of blond silk. Nothing he did woke her from her nightmare.
“Nooo, run! Hide!”
In desperation, he straddled her and shook her shoulders. “Allana! It’s a dream. Wake up.” At her choked gasp, he eased back beside her and pulled her into the protection of his body. “Talk to me, sweetheart. What was it?”
“I-i-it’s Sophie.”
He clutched her to him, his caress gentle along her arms and back. “What about, her? I can’t
