In a special moment like this, his trauma resurfaces, but not with pain accompanying it, but with… hope. For the first time in twenty-seven years.
"Your body… it will regenerate," I whisper shyly, almost scared to vocalize it.
I look at him, and then I see a single tear slipping from the corner of his eye. Wow, a sight I would never expect to witness.
"Oh, Blue, baby…"
"Twenty years of research, and I couldn’t achieve what you’ll be able to give me so easily…" Blue whispers in a strange tone, almost reverent.
"What our Bond will give you," I correct softly, brushing my fingers along his cheek.
"We’re part of the same soul, Blue… it’s unbelievable… everything will change now!"
And I truly believe that.
The lives of True Mates really do change. Our lifespan will increase by nearly half, we won’t suffer from illness, the Bond between us will grow so strong it will be almost like telepathy, and we’ll always be able to find each other, but there are downsides too.
If Blue dies, I die, and if I die, he dies, because our lives are now bound into one.
But there’s something I still need to ask him.
"Did you believe Storm from the beginning?"
"Not fully, but I was somewhat open to the idea. From the moment I walked into the Fate’s Choice building… something guided me straight to you, like a thread I couldn’t see but could follow. Our meeting couldn’t have been random, it was a true choice of fate."
"Fate’s Choice! How ironic. Incredible. How could I ever have hated you?"
I should add that this entire conversation is happening while I’m still inside him, his calves resting against my hips.
"I do understand it. In a way, I always intrigued you. Even if I stirred negative emotions, I still stirred something, and it was strong."
"Yeah… yeah, you did. And you still do something strong."
I lean down and press a soft kiss to his lips, now fully aware that I’m kissing my True Mate, and it’s crazy. What a discovery!
"Make love to me for the first time…" he says softly, his fingers sliding through my hair. "I want to experience all of it…"
"I want that too," I murmur, and then our lips meet more passionately. We kiss, but there is still this tenderness within the passion, soft, gentle, sweet kisses exchanged between us.
"I’m so happy when I’m close to you. I want to always be close, Blue…"
Slowly, carefully, I pull my hips back and move them in a soft, slightly circular motion as I slide into his yielding body inch by inch, watching every reaction on his face, the widening of his pupils, the parting of his lips, his deepening breath. I sink in and pull back slightly, feeling the pleasure of my body’s movement bringing waves of excitement to both of us.
I withdraw and sink back in, all while looking into his eyes again and again, thrust after thrust. I watch his flushed cheeks, his damp lips reaching for mine. Sometimes I pause to kiss him, to taste him, and then I resume the movement that inevitably draws us both toward another orgasm. Though this time there is something new. The pleasure builds not only at the tip, but along the entire length of my dick, which feels incredible, and I let it bloom through my body.
This pleasure is different, more physical, more primal, rooted deep in my alpha nature. I let out quiet groans as I feel a strange force building inside me.
Then a flicker of suspicion hits me. "I think I’m about to…"
I cut myself off, realizing what’s happening, that strange pressure…
"I, I…"
Within seconds I feel the central part of my dick swell, locking me inside Blue. Fuck!
"I just knotted you!"
Blue’s eyes are wide open, his breathing fast. The sensation must be intense, but he doesn’t protest, his arms drawing me even closer.
