EPILOGUE

LEVIATHAN

Ten Years Later

S unlight filters through the golden trees outside our bedroom window, casting dappled shadows across the rumpled sheets. Cordelia lies sprawled before me, her curves lush and inviting. Not a day of age shows on her rosy skin even after ten years. It’s as if we’re frozen in time together.

Or it would seem if it weren’t for her growing belly.

My hands glide over her hips, relishing the silky softness. I caress her swollen stomach where our baby grows, then lower. Cordelia parts her thighs, welcoming me into the slick heat between.

Perfect. She’s perfect.

Kneeling between her knees, I slide home with a groan, her tight cunt enveloping me down to my knot. I savor the exquisite pressure, the clench and flutter of her inner walls massaging my length.

Cordelia sighs, bliss coloring her face. Her golden hair spills across the pillows as she arches up to meet my thrusts.

I set a deep, rolling rhythm, my grip tightening on her generous hips. Plunging into her again and again. Cordelia’s breasts bounce enticingly with each impact, the dusky nipples pebbled, begging for attention. I thumb the sensitive tips until she’s mewling for me.

“Yes, right there,” she pants, clutching at the sheets. Her moans take on a desperate edge, climbing in pitch. I know the telltale signs by now—the hectic flush coloring her cheeks, the tremors running through her plump thighs. She’s on the brink.

I’m hungry to feel her unravel on my cock, greedy for the spasms of her release milking me. Pivoting my hips, I grind against her most sensitive spot.

“Oh god, I’m going—I’m—” A cry rips from Cordelia’s throat as the orgasm crashes over her. Her inner walls ripple and clench, the pulsing heat triggering my own peak.

Pleasure detonates down my spine as I slam into her one last time. Pulling out, I fist my throbbing shaft, angling it towards her face.

“Open your mouth, love.”

Cordelia’s eyes gleam with desire, her pink lips parting obediently, her tongue sticking out. I groan her name like a prayer as ecstasy shatters through me. Thick ropes of hot come paint her breasts, her round belly, and splatter across her waiting tongue. She swallows every drop eagerly, humming in delight.

I collapse beside her, gathering my mate close. With a flick of my fingers, she’s clean again. “Maybe that’s what keeps you so young and beautiful,” I muse, stroking a possessive hand over her stomach. “Drinking my come.”

Cordelia grins impishly, nuzzling into my neck. “Guess that means I’ll have to keep drinking it then.”

“As much as you want, whenever you want.” I press a kiss to her temple, my chest squeezing.

This woman. This woman has all of me. Forever. I never imagined creating a life, a family. Before Cordelia came into my world, the very notion would have made me laugh.

Me? A family man? Never.

Now, with her in my arms, our child growing inside her... I would raze cities to ash to protect this. To keep her smiling, safe, and sated. My mate’s happiness is all that matters. I would burn the world to see her eyes light up.

And I’ll spend every day proving it, worshipping her body and soul, for the rest of our immortal lives. However long that may be.
