“Do you believe me, when I
say you are more than enough for me?”
    “Yes,” I responded. “I do.”
    “Do you still love me?” he asked, his eyes
searching mine.
    “Yes,” I said softly, and kissed him
passionately. “I want to lose myself in you—”
    Devlin kissed me roughly, his lips devouring
mine. I pushed him back abruptly, then pulled off my clothes and
shoes, dumping them in a pile. Devlin did the same, discarding his
suit and shirt, then moved closer to embrace me, brushing his cheek
with mine.
    “Where do you want me?” he said temptingly in
my ear.
    I was caught off guard, then realized why he
was asking. “In our bed,” I answered. I reached down and stroked
his hardness, making him groan.
    “What would you like?” he asked, easing me
down to the bed beneath him. “Do you want me to sing, or—?”
    I took his face in my hands. “I want you to
do what you feel like doing,” I said, kissing his cheeks, mouth and
eyes. “Just be with me, Dev.” I kissed him. “That’s all I
want.”

    I’d forgotten how good sex could be with him.
I’d wanted to, in my anger and pain.
    But Devlin made me remember with every kiss,
every touch, every whispered “I love you.” And he remembered what I
loved more than the poetry he quoted me, or the songs he sung me,
or his expertise that had no equal. Devlin whispered as he made
love to me, telling me everything he was feeling and how he had
dreamed of me coming back to him every night, of finding me there
waiting for him, of hearing my sighs as he touched me, or my cries
as he gave himself to me over and over.
    When we were resting, I turned to him. “Why
didn’t you bite me?”
    He gave me a devilish smile. “I was waiting
for you to ask me to.”
    “Then I’m asking,” I replied, rolling on top
of him and beginning to move.
    Devlin arched his back beneath me, a lazy
smile gracing his handsome features as he clasped my hips. He moved
purposely, his eyes watching me as I swayed above him in rhythm, my
pleasure slowly building. As my climax neared, Devlin moved faster,
his eyes fixed on me lustily, his fangs bared. Our rapid breathing
intensified, my heart racing as the sweat beaded on my body.
    The climax hit, and I began to shudder,
moaning. Devlin pulled me down, turning my head and sinking his
fangs in. His body tensed suddenly, then his arms tightened around
me. I begin to scream in bliss, the heady joy of orgasm suddenly
escalating to white hot intensity.
    Devlin moved rapidly, straining against me,
his body convulsing even as his muffled moans filled my ears.
    “Yes, please,” I whispered, my head lolling.
“I’m yours, Dev. I’m yours!”
    Devlin drew back, then kissed me fiercely.
Sweetness flooded my mouth, and I moaned, my tongue delving into
his mouth as I pressed my lips hard against his, desperate for
more.
    With a groan close to pain, Devlin pushed
back from me, then kissed my bites gently. “Enough, Love. I don’t
want to hurt you.”
    I nestled in his arms, my head on his chest,
utterly content. Almost instantly, I dropped off to sleep.

    I yawned, then blinked, wondering where I
was. Then I looked down at Devlin beside me, my face softening.
    Lash had been right. I’d have to thank him. I
wouldn’t have given Devlin another chance, if he hadn’t made me.
And it was right to be here in his arms. We belonged together. We
were still Oathed, no matter what the choker had or hadn’t done. We
had a child together. And we loved each other.
    In a small corner of my mind that had somehow
not been influenced by Dev’s blood, I affirmed that aside from the
emotional aspect, this alliance was rational. Theo and Danial were
wonderful, but they didn’t have the power and respect Devlin
wielded...and they knew it, which was why both of them had agreed
rebonding to Devlin was necessary for my safety. In the struggle to
come against Perseus and Samuel, his power was going to count for a
lot...
