“I baked lemon bars,” Clara said.

“Hell yeah.” Raiden spun her around, and she yelled to be put back down.

Galen pulled me against him and whispered in my ear, “We can celebrate with them after. The ceremony isn’t over for us yet.”

A tingling heat spread through me as he picked me up and carried me toward the mansion. Castor and Raiden called out to us before laughing. No matter how old, they acted like perverted teenaged boys.

“Remind me to kill them later,” Galen said, walking toward the stairs with me in his strong arms. His smile never faltered.

Once in his room, he placed me on the bed. I sat up and started undressing him. My hands trembled as I slid his suit jacket off his broad shoulders, then focused on the buttons of his vest. We’d had sex countless times over the past few months, but this time was different. Special. It meant more than any of the others.

“You’re shaking.” Galen lifted my hand to his lips.

“So are you.”

And he was, like he felt the same intensity I did. Neither of us would be the same after this.

The air felt charged around us, electrified, as we kissed. He stripped me out of my tux, and though my movements were a lot sloppier than his, I managed to do the same to him. Galen grazed his teeth down my chest and nipped at the sensitive skin of my belly before taking my cock into his mouth.

I shuddered at the explosion of wet heat and watched myself sink deeper.

“You taste so damn good,” he said before dipping his tongue into my slit and lapping up a bead of precum.

My fucking eyes rolled back in my head. He opened me with one finger, then two, three, as he sucked me within an inch of my life. Pretty sure I felt my soul try to leave my body at one point.

“Do you feel it?” he asked, lips gliding along the crease of my upper thigh.

“Sexually frustrated?”

A low laugh left him. “I’ll make that up to you soon. I’m talking about the warmth coursing through your bloodstream. A flickering flame just waiting for the fuel to make it blaze higher.” He moved back up my body and gripped the back of my hair, angling my face up to his. “Our souls are reaching out to each other. Waiting to be made whole.”

Our cocks rubbed together as he ground his hips forward and claimed my mouth like he’d soon claim my body. He was right. I felt that warmth, the flame yearning to be set free.

Galen slicked his cock and pushed inside me. I loved the fullness of him as he stretched me. The sting only lasted a moment. He pulled almost all the way out and then slammed forward all the way, his balls slapping my ass cheeks. He alternated between slow and quick thrusts, as if he wasn’t sure whether to fuck my brains out or tenderly make love.

“My body is yours,” Galen said, holding my face with one hand as he rocked his hips into me, slower now. “My soul. My heart. Everything I am. All belong to you, Simon. Today, tomorrow, for as long as there’s breath in my lungs, I am yours and only yours.”

A tear slipped from the corner of my eye. “And I am yours.”

He snapped his hips forward, then again, his face buried against my neck. I crept closer to the precipice, just moments away from shattering.

“Galen,” I groaned, sliding my hands to his back.

He grunted as my fingers probed at his wing slits. I wouldn’t last much longer. My cock was wedged between our bodies, the friction as he moved on me so fucking delicious.

“Oh my god,” I whimpered. My stomach muscles tightened and my balls drew up. “I’m gonna come.”

And then his teeth clamped down on my throat.

I gasped, my body shuddering beneath him as my orgasm crashed into me like a tidal wave. Pleasure unlike any I’d experienced before consumed me. I barely recognized the sounds I made. Gasps. Whimpers. Deep, drawn-out moans that made my voice crack. I was drunk on love and lust, my soul tangling with his, our hearts melding.

His body shook as he came too. As his cock pulsed, he drank deeper from my neck, my blood flowing into him as he filled me with cum.

It was mind-blowing. Perfect.

When Galen finally pulled back from my neck, red dripped from the corner of his mouth. I stared up at him, a goddamn wreck as I fought to catch my breath. I felt like I could sleep for days. Weeks. I had never felt happier.

Galen licked at my neck before rolling off me and gathering me in his arms. He looked just as exhausted as I felt. The binding magic had taken a lot out of both of us.
