Chapter Forty

RENALL

I struggle to keep my claws at bay as Autumn swivels her hips on top of me. I don’t think she would mind the pain, but we have all night for that … all our lives, actually. She moans again, her lip tucked under her teeth like she’s trying to hide her pleasure from me. No, that will not do. I nip at her nipple. She gasps, which ends in a moan as she grips the headboard, using it as support as she grinds harder on me. The wetness between us is incredible.

Her skin glows with the power of the moon. Her sparkling eyes molten honey. She chose me. She is finally my Guardian, my mate.

“Oh Gods, Renall,” she whimpers.

I growl in response, meeting her thrusts until we both reach our peak. Her forehead scrunches up before her mouth drops open and we’re both panting for air. She collapses on top of me. Trailing my warm fingers down her spine, she shivers against my gentle touch. I hold her, eyes closed, relishing in her scent of contentment and arousal and what I can now confidently call love. Autumn’s love for me.

“My legs are like Jell-O. I’m going to have to start doing some squats or stairs or something.”

I have no idea what she’s talking about, but I sense her humor.

She slides off me. I slip out of her, already missing the feeling of being buried inside her. My mate. Mine.

We fall back facing the ceiling after another amazing orgasm, catching our breath when we both notice it. Her breath hitches in her throat.

“Is that–” she gasps. “Did I?”

A blue Moon Flower is in full bloom over our bed. It glows brighter than the moon rocks along the cave wall.

“How is that possible? I thought the only one was over Luna Lake.”

I know exactly how it’s possible, I have suspected for a while now, but there was no explaining if she didn’t want to stay. I also know what it would mean for the cave if I were correct. I face her, my mate, and kiss her deeply. One more secret between us, at least until tomorrow. It’s better she sees for herself.

“I know you’re deflecting Renall, I can feel it. You’re lucky you’re so fuckable right now, or I’d make you spill your guts.”

“Turn around,” I order, nipping her ear as I pull away. “And get on your knees.”

“Oh Gods, Renall, I fucking love when you get all Alpha on me.”

She has no idea.

Autumn places her perfect, golden moon-kissed ass up against my hardness. Gliding my hands over it, she purrs underneath me, her back arching in anticipation. I trail my erection down her center. Her wetness and my seed dripping down her legs. The best view in the world. She groans, gripping the spindles of the bed frame.

“Please,” she begs. “Please.”

Gripping her hips, I guide myself inside of her. A moan ending in a gasp escapes her lips as I fill her halfway.

“Is this what you want?” I growl.

“Yes, yes,” she whimpers, wiggling back farther, rocking her hips and pulling me in deeper until I’m all the way settled inside her. “That’s what I want,” she growls back.

The sound of my Guardian growling sends me into a fury. I can’t refuse her. I give my mate what she wants and fuck her until she screams my name.
