I knew we had a lot to talk about. Killian, the mate stuff, and her father… telling her the truth about Rotty and what happened that night was never something I’d planned to do. I wanted him to stay her hero, for her to always think the best of him. I thought it was better to keep her innocent and oblivious to his crimes.

But now I understood Katrina never needed to be sheltered. She was my equal, my partner, and truth was our foundation, whether we wanted it or not. Our connection was bone deep, cutting into us like DNA.

“I’m sorry,” I whispered, my gaze zeroing in on hers, letting her feel my emotions. She knew exactly what I meant. A flicker of agony watered her eyes, her chin dipping in understanding. I was sorry for keeping it from her, but mostly I was sorry for the truth. For changing the view of her father she held all her life. “He did it because he loved you, Kitten,” I muttered against her mouth. “And now I get why he did it. Just know, I would do so much worse.” My cock slipped through her folds, stealing her breath. “I would sink every ship, slice every throat, and destroy everything in my way to keep you safe.” My lips claimed hers, sealing my statement as a promise.

“Croygen,” she groaned, her legs wrapping around me. I no longer felt any pain as I positioned myself at her entrance, her breath growing quicker, moving against me with desperation.

Biting down on her lip, I tugged on it as I sunk into her, filling her completely.

“Fuck,” I growled, drowning in the sensations, my lungs struggling for air. There were so many ways I wanted to take her, some real kinky shit, and I would, but right now I wanted to fuck her so slow and deep she would never stop feeling me inside her. With deep, long strokes, my cock pushed inside her pussy. She was so tight around me my vision started to blur.

“Oh gods!” She bowed her head back into the pillow, her hips matching my need, our hands and mouths kissing, touching, and fully falling into ecstasy. The magic in the room crackled off us, enhancing the intensity. “Harder!”

Picking up my pace, I slammed into her, needing to be so deep we had no space between us, our souls twining together. Something in my head snapped, a feral need gritting my teeth as I gripped her hips, holding her in place as I railed her harder.

A choked sob howled from Kat, her body shaking, her pussy throbbing around me.

“Croygen!” Her cat nails clawed into me as she climaxed, pumping around my cock, milking it.

“Holy fuck!” I bellowed, my hot cum filling her, making sure I marked every inch of her as mine as her brand marked through me violently.

There was no mistaking it—the bond between us knotted even tighter, plunging into my soul, inflicting overwhelming bliss that almost hurt. The sensation was so overpowering it took my sight, and I no longer seemed like I was in my body.

I was consumed. Fanatical. I continued to fuck her, so addicted I couldn’t stop. Pushing through the need to collapse, I felt my cum coating us, squeezing out, rocking me even harder, my dick growing stiff again inside her.

“Oh gods…” she panted. I experienced everything she did—the wonder of what the hell was happening and how it could possibly feel this unbelievable. Her emotions only added to mine, spiraling us forward again, out of our minds.

“I can’t stop fucking you.” I pushed up her leg, hitting a spot that had her arching. Yowls came from her like a wild cat, her teeth and claws digging into my skin, the pain making me lose even more control. I was possessed.

An animal.

A devil.

Pulling out, I flipped her over, yanking her ass up and licking through her pussy. Kat choked on a cry before I slammed my cock back into her.

She screamed so loud, I felt it tattoo on my bones.

This was what I wanted. Forever. She and I, fucking, pirating, and finding our way through this world.

CROYGEN!

This time when she screamed, it wasn’t out loud. Her cry pierced through every molecule in my body, charging up to my brain and down to my cock. I felt her clawing and screaming, rolling around in my soul like she owned it.

It was her house. She just let me live in it.

The walls shook, and the bed frame cracked as we climaxed together, suspending us in time and space before crashing us down to Earth.

My body fell on hers, covering her like a weighted blanket, both of us heaving and gasping.

“Fuck me,” she whispered.

“I just did.”

She huffed in amusement while sucking in gulps of air, sweat coating her skin, her chest vibrating with pleasure. “Seriously… what the hell?” She swallowed, her purr growing louder, no longer hiding it from me. “Is that normal?”

“I think it is for us.” From my experience living with Ryker and Zoey, this would only get more intense. I’ll admit, part of me always thought they had to be exaggerating a bit. I had experienced incredible sex before,lotsof it. I mean, it couldn’t be that much better, right? It was all the same mechanics.

I wassowrong.
