of emotions roared through him, from pleasure to pain and everything in between. “I’m going to touch you below as well, Kyla. I promise to be careful.”
“I trust you.”
“Aye, as those who are mated do.” He nudged her legs a little farther apart, the heady aroma of her arousal swirling around him. Along her hot inner folds, he stroked, back and forth until he slid one finger deep inside her channel.
“Oh, that feels exquisite.” She captured his mouth and kissed him, her lips moving over his in the most divine way.
Hell, his woman certainly knew how to kiss, to stoke the fire deep inside him into raging life. All he wanted to do right now was toss her onto her back, dive between her legs and imbibe at the very heart of her. Instead, he plunged a second finger inside her and caressed her in time with how she stroked him. She was his sustenance, the only woman who would own him, heart, body and soul and he never wanted this moment to end.
Fondling her deep inside, he allowed his hunger for her to roar to life and as he did, she swiped her thumb over the head of his cock, made a buzz of sensations fire up at the base of his spine and sizzle around to the front. His cock wept for more and he pushed deeper into her incredible touch. “Dinnae stop what you’re doing to me.” He seized her mouth, swept his tongue into the hot cavern and tasted the incredible honeyed recesses within. “I want a lifetime with you, beginning right now, Kyla.”
“I can see everything you wish for me to do within your mind and I hope I’m getting it right.” She pumped his shaft, gently cupped his balls with her other hand and he gritted his teeth to keep from coming. Nay, he wouldn’t allow his passion its release until he’d wrung hers from her as well.
He drove his fingers into her, tapped a spot that made her cry out with pleasure then whimper for even more as she heaved her breasts harder against his chest. With one more flick of his thumb over her nub, she exploded, her inner core dragging his fingers ever deeper inside her as she came, over and over.
No longer could he hold back. As she pumped him, he let go and fire shot through him, his essence spurting free in one fast burn.
His seed coated her fingers and he roared his pleasure, the silken strands of their mated bond weaving even more fully together. Panting against her lips, he murmured, “Marry me, Kyla. Be my wife.”

Kyla slumped on top of Ronan, pure pleasure still racing through her body and his request for marriage resounding in her head. When his cock had pulsed in her hand, his essence had streamed so hot and thick from him and her inner channel had sucked greedily at his fingers. This was passion, what she’d never have with Duncan, never wanted to have with any other than him. How she wanted her chosen one to simply take her away from this place so she no longer had to think, only that was impossible. Touching her forehead against his, she gave a little shake of her head. “I cannae marry you, no’ when my parents’ safety will come into question. I fear for them, greatly.”
“Tell me why. Your papa holds the battle skill and your mama the ability to foresee another’s death. They are strong in their own rights, are safe and well.”
“Should I choose you, then they will forfeit their lives.” She flopped onto her back on the mossy ground beside him. She’d loved each and every one of his kisses and even though they hadn’t joined in the way of man and wife, in that moment when his seed had rushed forth from him, she’d desperately wished that his essence had instead spurted deep inside her. “I’ve been protecting them my entire life. They are why I’ve never left the MacKenzie’s keep. I’ve never even attempted to make contact with them.”
“Explain everything to me.” He edged up onto his side, stroked one hand down her arm and looked into her eyes. “You’re carrying a burden you’ve no need to.”
