Irresistible (Delroi Prophecy) (16 page)

As daunting as that task
seemed--allowing his der’lan into
danger
instead of shielding her from it--it felt right. She grinned.

“I heard that thought.”

He grabbed her hips and rolled over,
covering her body with his.

“Eavesdropping, my lady?”

He leaned down to kiss that spot on her
neck that always tempted him. She shivered.

“What if I was?”

Her hands slid up her back, scratching
lightly. He arched into the caress, wanting nothing more than to pound into
her. Take her hard and fast this first time as a truly mated couple, but he
stopped himself. She deserved more. Better. To celebrate their future, he
wanted to go slow and savor every second. Every touch and taste. Every ounce of
her pleasure. She went still and sensed a combination of need and tension from
her.

“No,” she whispered, her hand closing
around his cock and guiding him into position. “Don’t wait. You can do slow and
teasing later. Now I need you inside me. Hard and fast, mate. Prove to me this
is real.”

“You know it is, baby.”

“It feels like…a dream. I’m afraid if I
hesitate it will slip through my fingers.”

“Never,” he whispered, thrusting into
her. Unable to refuse to her desire to be comforted. “I will never let you go.”

He took them on a wild fast ride, didn’t
hold any of himself back. He gave her everything. His heart. His soul. His
body. The bond between them was strong and he felt the gift of hers in return.
Was shaken by the level of trust she’d given him. The first tremble signaling she
was coming rippled through her body. He was powerless to hold back as his own
as her pussy tightened around his cock, as if refusing to let him go. It was a
long time later, still shuddering from the orgasm that he spoke.

“I love you,” he whispered, as she
sucked in a deep breath. Flushed with passion. Beautiful and all his.

“Possessive,” she gasped.

“Hell yes.”

“That goes both ways.”

He hated hearing that hint of vulnerability
in her voice, but he was patient. They were together, she was his, and time
would prove his loyalty more than any promises.

“I like this possessive side of you,” he
said.

“Oh yeah?” She looped her arms around
his neck. “You better because it isn’t going away.”

“I don’t expect it to.”

“I love you too,” she said softly.

He held her close, savoring her words.
“I swear you won’t regret it, baby.”

“I know,” she said, then kissed him
until he forgot everything.

There was only Parker. His heart. His
life. His mate. And he knew, whatever happened tomorrow, they would stand
together.
