Our lower bodies slam together.The portraits along the walls rattle and shatter onto the floor.Scarlett screams into my mouth, her nails clawing at my back.We mark each other inside and out.She pulls my hair, makes me bleed, and I let my desire run rampant on her little cunt.
“Krane, I’m close,” she warns.
Her pussy begins to quiver around me.The punishing rhythm is heightened by my hand that finds her clit.It only takes a few rough strokes for her to erupt.She clenches down on me and soaks me with her sweet come.I push deep, butting up against her womb, and emptying myself on a roar.Seed spills from her little hole and soaks her thighs.
Scarlett’s eyes are dazed as I pull her from the wall.Her quivering body tucks into mine.Her mouth is open against my birthmark, trying to get her breathing under control.Our sweat-slick bodies slide together, basking in the moment.When I’m inside her, we are truly one.The afterwards is almost as good, this feeling of our souls knitting together.
Once she has come down from her peak, she rolls back onto the bed, her fingers staying on my birthmark.Something dances in her eyes—an emotion I haven’t seen before.
“Do you want your gift now?”
I chuckle, taking her lips in a soft kiss.
“You’re spoiling me.That was more than enough.”I nip her throat.“Unless you want to let me fuck your ass again.”
Scarlett laughs, pink decorating her cheeks.
“Later,” she agrees.
“I don’t need anything else, Scar.You’re all I ever want.”
Her smile turns secretive once more as she takes my hand in hers.
“Well, unfortunately, the gift I got you can’t be returned.”
She settles my palm onto her soft stomach.Tears fill her blue eyes, and for the first time in my life, I don’t know what to say to Scarlett.My fingers tighten on her skin, my mouth falling open.Does she mean—surely not—she can’t be?—
“Are you sure?”I ask.
“The doctors confirmed it for me today.We’re going to have a baby, Krane.”
A howl rumbles from me as I collect her to my chest.Our laughter is watery as we share gentle kisses.A baby, truly.A family between Scarlett and me was something I always dreamed of.When I had been cursed, I thought there was a chance I had lost that dream too.
How wrong I had been about so many things.
“Are you happy?”she asks.
I kiss her soundly.
“Scarlett, you and this babe, and however many more we should have, will make me the luckiest creature in the world.”
Kissing her again, I taste her salty tears.
“I love you, my sun.”
“I love you, my moon.Always.”
Everything we lived through brought us to this moment.All the longing—the pain and betrayals—none of it matters.When you find a love as consuming as mine and Scarlett’s, you fight for it until the end.The past was dark and full of demons, but our future is brighter than ever.
This will be a new adventure for us both, and I can’t wait to embark on it with her.Scarlett, the only girl I’ve ever loved.My wife.My soulmate.The one who’s loved me as a boy, as a monster, and as whatever I am now.Our love can withstand anything.
Even death.
