Page 46 of Fae's Mate
His mouth leave my lips, trailing along my jaw and peppering every part of me he can reach. My whole body aches with need, and I realise now that it is more than simple lust, it runs so much deeper than that. I needhim, not just his body, but his heart, his soul, all of him.
“Claim me,” I whisper again, and this time he shifts, so he is on top of me. I wrap my legs around his hips, the hand that was on his waist trailing up his back, resting on his shoulder.
“You remember the words?” he asks, gazing down at me, his eyes so full of joy that I think my heart might burst.
I nod. “You tell me your name, your court and that you claim me, then I say my name, my… court… and that I accept you.”
“You can just say ‘human realm’, but yes.”
He angles himself, and I feel him nudge at my entrance, and I practically whimper.
“Are you ready?” he asks.
All I can do is nod as I smile up at him. He presses his forehead to mine and I curl my fingers into his hair as he whispers the sacred words to me.
“I, Taylen, of the Autumn Court, claim you Seki, as my mate.”
Taylen, his name is Taylen.
“I, Seki, of the human realm, accept you, Taylen, as my mate.”
A shuddered breath leaves him, as if I have saved his life.
Then he slides into me. One smooth fluid motion and he fills me so completely that we both groan in unison. My thighs tighten around his hips, as does my grip in his hair. He withdraws, torturously slowly, almost completely, before plunging back into me. As he rocks his hips against me, I cry out, every thrust sending a wave of pleasure crashing through me.
I feel the muscles in his perfect body rippling as he claims me, and all I can do is cling to him. His hips roll as he pumps in such a perfect rhythm that I am already tightening around him.
As I moan against his shoulder, so overwhelmed by him, I feel it… the bond. That bright golden thread that pulled us together burns brighter than the sun, fusing us together, heart and soul. I feel it alight my body and set me a blaze. The bond has been accepted. We are now mates for life, and the rightness of it overwhelms me.
“Taylen,” I rasp, I’m close.
“Seki,” he whispers into the crease of my neck, he is too.
Every muscle in my body tightens as my orgasm builds and Taylen holds me firmly as he chases his own. One of his hands is buried in my hair, cupping the back of my head as he rests on his elbow, the other grips my hip as he plunges into me.
As if knowing I am on the edge, about to plummet, his mouth presses to mine, consuming me with a hot, searing kiss. One final thrust and my orgasm crashes through me. Taylen devours my cry as wave after wave of bliss ripples through my body. He pulls his mouth away just in time to groan into my shoulder as his own orgasm seizes him, his body jolting against me as he comes. I hold him tight, stars still flickering in front of my eyes, as we both try to catch our breath.
Time seems to lose meaning as we stay that way, bodies still joined, limbs entangled, breath shaky.
Eventually, Taylen raises his head and gazes down at me, his eyes still hazy, his breathing still heavy. He brushes hair from my face, absolute adoration softening his features, until something catches his eye and his expression changes to one of shock.
“Seki…”
“What?”
“Your ears…”
My hand flies up to my ear and where there was once a short, rounded human tip, I now have an elongated point. Fae ears.
“I… I’m fae?”
“It would appear so.”
Taylen smiles at me, his eyes full of wonder as he tucks a strand of hair carefully behind my newly shaped ears. As his fingers caress the tip, a sudden wave of pleasure shivers through me.
“Oh! They’re sensitive!” I gasp.
“They are indeed,” he chuckles. The sound rumbles in his chest and reverberates through my own.
