Michael didn’t think of anything except her, of how she felt and tasted and the way she excited him. The sound of her crying out his name as she climaxed was like a dream come true.
Time slipped away until at last they were exhausted and sated. Lyra lay with her head on his broad chest, her fingers playing on his skin.
“So, you didn’t answer my question,” she said as she rose up to look at him.
“What question?”
“Do you believe in magic?” she asked with a smile.
Michael pulled her on top of him. Her strange golden eyes gleamed in the fading light like molten gold. He smiled and kissed the tip of her nose. “You are magic, Lyra Seville.”
“No,” she corrected him. “We are magic.”
“Yes,” he agreed. “You’re right. I do believe in magic. But…”
“But what?” she asked in a tight voice.
“We still have one very big problem.”
“What?” she asked with an anxious expression.
“Well, it’s your name,” he said seriously.
“You don’t like my name?”
He shook his head. “No, you’re going to have to change it. I’m sorry, Lyra, but I just can’t live with it. No more Lyra Seville.”
“But Michael!” She sat up and brushed her hair back. “I’ve always been Lyra. And I like my name! What would you want me to change it to?”
“Lyra Santera,” he grinned.
Lyra’s eyes widened in surprise. “Lyra Santera?”
Michael nodded and she laughed and flung herself down on him. “Lyra Santera. Sounds absolutely perfect. I’d love that. Do you think we should we go tell our family the news?”
He smiled and rolled over on top of her. “Not just yet. I think we need to practice our magic.”
