“Somewhere special,” he replied, his teasing smirk igniting a spark of want within me. My heart raced, each beat echoing the exhilaration of the night ahead.
Yet, to my surprise, as we entered the bedroom, he didn’t stop at the bed. Instead, he continued past it into our plush walk-in wardrobe. “Would you get the light?” he asked casually. The playful tone, paired with the glimmer of mischief in his eyes, made me grin.
I flicked on the switch, then gasped as the warm glow illuminated an array of stunning dresses—emerald greens shimmering like the depths of a lush forest, deep burgundy reminiscent of ripe autumn berries, and soft taupe tones whispering of serenity. He had stocked the wardrobe just for me.
“I know you said you didn’t need a walk-in wardrobe, Ilak,” he said, his voice thick and gravelly, reverberating like the low rumble of thunder.
“But I wanted to dress my Luna in shades that brought out her eyes.” His gaze held an intensity that sent goosebumps racing along my bare arms, a heat pooling deep within me.
"Eyes that remind me of our forest after the rain," he added, and I melted under the heat in his stare.
“I love them,” I breathed, though it wasn’t the dresses I adored. It was his careful consideration behind every choice he’d made, all those shades selected with love and attention.
“And,” he added, stealing a glance at his side of the wardrobe. My eyes caught on an array of vibrant blue shirts. The very shirt I had torn off him that electrifying night in my shop. There must be three or four dozen here now, each a reminder of the heat of that night.
A flush crept up my cheeks. “That’s the sexiest present ever,” I said huskily. “Because right now, I want to claw your clothes off.”
A rumble of approval climbed in the back of his throat, sending a thrill racing through me. Then, with fervent intensity, his mouth crashed into mine, igniting a wildfire of desire.
In a moment, I found myself beneath him, laid out on our sumptuous king-sized bed—a sanctuary that breathed memories and dreams. He continued to kiss me fervently, a dance of urgency and exploration.
My hands dove into the fabric of his shirt, eagerly tearing through the line of buttons that separated us.
With each stroke of my fingers over his taut muscles, heat ignited between us.
My lips and tongue found the pulse of his throat, tracing the contours where I’d marked him on the battlefield.
My touch was urgent, hungry, wild—a need deeply rooted.
He groaned, the sound reverberating like thunder in the skies.
Each taste of him, each twist of my body, sent surges of pleasure cascading through me, mingling with the intoxicating scent of sweat and his earthy aroma.
Everything else faded away, leaving just him and the exquisite electricity that crackled around us.
In a fevered rush, my hands found their way to the waistband of his pants, fingers tearing at his zipper and savoring his deep intake of breath as I palmed him through his pants, greedy to drink down more of those primal sounds.
“Selina,” he gasped, the syllables thick with a heady power that enveloped us both. The vibrations shot through me, igniting a fierce ache low in my belly—a call to surrender, to let go of everything but this force driving us together.
He lifted himself over me, a warrior intent on claiming his spoils. Hands moving with intent, he carefully unzipped my dress, pushing the luxurious material down around my hips. I wiggled eagerly for him to pull it away entirely, craving his touch on my bare skin.
He hadn’t shaved the day before—an indulgence that heightened my senses. The light scratch of his stubble against my skin sent jolts of pleasure tingling along my body.
With a casual flick, he stripped me of my bra, his mouth finding my nipples and his deft fingers kneading and kissing my breasts until I moaned.
His mouth traveled farther down, and I heard the delicious rip of material.
The cool air suddenly kissed my bare body, and I gasped as he kissed between my thighs, surrendering to the heat and urgency building inside me.
My body trembled, and I moaned, his tongue sinking between my legs, teasing and bringing me closer to the edge of ecstasy.
He knew exactly how to ignite my fire, his fingers slipping deep, stroking my sensitive clit until I bucked against him, a whimper escaping my lips— my soft plea drowned in the intoxicating whirlpool of momentary bliss he’d created.
“Please, Alexis,” I begged, my voice raw with desire and longing for more. Each flick of his tongue was a spellbinding promise of the pleasure to come. I pushed away the barrier of his boxers, finally wrapping my hand around his cock, and relishing the way he groaned as I fisted his length.
With newfound determination, I lifted my hips, urging him to come to me. The world outside our sanctuary faded away, leaving only the two of us as he came to me. Igaluk’s dark moon had never seemed so potent as Alexis gazed down at me with raw want and love.
“Selina,” he rasped, pulling away just enough to hover over me, those stormy eyes locked with mine, aflame with an intensity that promised a connection beyond the physical. “Are you ready?”
In that single question, I saw our future reflected back at me—the promise of unity, passion, and fierce love. A little breathless, I whispered, “Always.”
As Alexis thrust deep, we became entwined, two souls spiraling deeper into the vortex of desire.
I climbed higher, our shared groans and breathless whispers encircling us like clouds as our bodies reached for the stars, and I knew that this night—the night of our mate ceremony—was only the beginning of a wondrous future.
I gasped his name as we shattered together, an explosion that almost felt too good to bear, sealing our bond tighter. And in the afterglow, I felt warmth spread through me, tethering me forevermore to the man I would build a family, home, and pack with.
