“I will have you this very moment.” His breathing was short and heavy as he helped her to her feet. With the power of a demigod, he flashed her dress from her body and grinned. “I don’t want to ruin such a beautiful gown.” His own clothing was gone––what little he’d been wearing––and he had her pinned to the bed. Her wrists over her head and her legs spread wide as he thrust inside her.
“Oh, Kian.” Nothing in the entire universe could feel so wonderful.
He sucked a nipple into his warm mouth as he moved his hips, sending her into nerve-shattering pleasure. Her skin was alive and hyper-sensitive. When she was near orgasm, barely hanging on by a thread, his fangs descended, and he bit into the swell of her breast.
She fell and brought her mate with her in a blissful release. Their power snapped as brilliant blue sparks that lit the darkness, and she swore the ground moved beneath them. When things finally settled, and he retracted his fangs, Kian planted a kiss on her breast.
“You are the most amazing female ever.” He rolled from her and pulled her into his arms. “I love you, Gwen. I know we started out on a rocky ledge, but I never imagined what it would be like to have a mate. Now, I cannot imagine my world without you in it.”
She kissed his chest. “I am yours, and you are mine for eternity.”
“We should attend our own party.”
She sighed and rolled away. “I hate it when you’re right.” Standing, she grabbed onto her new powers and dressed herself. “This demigod stuff is pretty damn handy.”
Kian laughed. “It can be.” He too was already dressed, and she was once again thinking about the naughty things they could do later. He jacked a brow.
“Careful, mate, or I might forget our obligation to our guests.”
“I suppose we have the rest of our lives to make up for lost time.” She moved around the bed and took his hand. “Let’s walk to our party.”
“As you wish.” He led her out of the bedroom and into the corridor. Once they were outside their apartment, they kept going until they reached the large courtyard where the party was in full swing. Music played and people danced while trays of food and drink were ushered around by frantic servants. The two of them stood on the edge of the garden and took a moment to observe.
“Hard to believe this is for us,” Gwen said.
“Many things are hard to believe. The fact that I even survived is a fate of the gods.”
She looked up at him. “I am glad of it.” Then kissed his cheek. “The moment I saw you, I knew we were destined to be together. I promised your father I would find you and I knew I would give my life trying. I’m so happy things have worked in our favor.”
His smile was enough to light a room. “Me too.”
Arms entwined, they walked into the throes of the party, where they were swallowed up by the crowd. The power of the universe flowed through this courtyard, but the only thing that mattered to Gwen was the man at her side.
