“Jules…” Nikolai moaned my name and dragged my mouth back on his. His powerful legs came around my hips and dug his heels into my backside. “I want you to fill me up now, baby boy.”

Something in me snapped.

For a few moments, I wanted to rein myself in and make love to him gently instead of rutting him like a beast. But my wild side won.

“Jules! My God! Yes!” Nikolai plastered his chest to mine, bearing down on my length to take advantage of the full impact of my thrusts. “You’ll make me come again!”

His hands grabbed fistfuls of my hair and brought our foreheads together. I sank into his eyes, invading every part of him.

“Yes, baby! That’s it. You’re so good, yes!” With a groan, Nikolai climaxed for me again, his muscles clenching around my length. His pleasure flooded my senses as I joined him, my own orgasm lasting for a few blinding seconds. They felt like an eternity.

“Baby, thank you,” my sweet mate gasped as his body sank into the mattress, pulling me down on top of him. “That was beautiful.”

“Thank you,” I murmured, nuzzling my face into his neck and inhaling his musk.

A long time later, we left our bubble to clean up. It would have been warm enough to sleep under the canopy, but Bunny led me to my bedroom and curled his body around mine.

“Gute Nacht, Jules. Ich liebe dich,” he murmured into my neck.

“Ich liebe dich auch, Nikolai. Gute Nacht.”

I let sleep drag me under.

Jules

‘Lethimgo!’Myscream echoed through my head, my bedroom, and the forest beyond the windows.

“Jules? Baby?” Nikolai’s sleepy, terrified voice came from the bed behind me.

When did I get up?

The sleep inertia drained away, and I became aware of my ragged breathing.

I sound like a stag again.

“Holy shit. Jules? Are you all right?”

Nikolai got up and moved around the bed. He treaded lightly, as if apprehensive to approach me.

I hated myself for scaring him.

He rounded me, eyes glued to the top of my head, his slack mouth thrown into sharp relief in the moonlight streaming in through the windows.

“Are you alright?” he repeated his question.

“Yes, I am. I’m sorry for scaring you.”

“You don’t scare me, Jules.” His voice was so gentle yet strong that the iron band around my heart loosened its tight grip on me.

Here with him I was safe. And more importantly, in my house my magic protected him.

“I’m just surprised, that’s all. I didn’t expect those. But they look great on you.”

“Those?” I sounded like I had screamed for hours.

“The antlers?”
