A deep growl vibrated his chest. His hands tightened around my hips and jerked me lower. He dove in mercilessly, licking and circling and biting. His tongue thrust into me, and another moan tore from my lips, his sharp talons pricking my skin.

“I’ve missed this. ” He licked his way to my swollen clit, and stars sparked in my vision.

When my head fell back again, he grabbed my jaw and wrenched it forward.

“You will not deprive me of the sight of you shattering on my tongue.” Another slow lick, and my legs trembled, cheeks flaming, but I didn’t look away.

“Then you’ll shatter on my cock, and I’ll savor every moan, every hitch in your breath, every beat of your damned heart, because you’re mine , and I fucking missed you. ”

He devoured me whole, soul and all. I melted into moan after moan, my hands knotted in his hair, my screams echoing in the cave. I rocked my hips into his mouth, chasing my impending orgasm, but it was his low hum of approval that kicked me over the edge.

My thighs snapped closed on either side of his head, his tongue swirling faster, harder. His eyes clashed with mine—two orbs of fire holding me hostage as I shattered exactly how he demanded.

He didn’t give me a second to recover before he climbed up, claimed my lips, and thrust his tongue into my mouth. In the same breath, he angled my hips and sank his cock into me.

I bowed off the stone with a loud moan, but he swallowed the sound and pulled out to the tip. With a groan, he buried himself again, his chest pressed into mine and fingers splayed in my hair.

His nose skimmed the column of my throat. “Welcome me home, little storm.”

He set a brutal pace, but still, I wanted more. Needed more. I clawed at his arms, his shoulders. “Oh, God?—”

A hand cinched around my throat.

He brushed his lips over mine with a breathy laugh, slowly thrusting in and out.

“Have I been elevated to that of a god?” he murmured, his fingers and thumb tightening over my pulse points. “I must have, because you only call out for me when my cock is buried in you.”

I nodded breathlessly, desperately, as I hooked a leg around his waist and an arm around his neck to pull him down to me. I needed to kiss him—to taste him and his filthy mouth. When he loosened his grip, I surged forward to capture his lips.

He groaned and slid his hand to my hair, knotting his fingers in it with another thrust of his hips.

It was too good. He was too good, and I was too full of him. I was lost, floating through the clouds, and?—

No, not clouds.

I glanced around, and my breath caught. Dense steam clung to the air, and the crystals’ bright light pierced the haze, scattering through the mist and refracting off every suspended droplet.

We’d been swallowed by a sunlit cloud, and suddenly, no one else existed beyond us—beyond him.

My mate. My love.

Mine.

A cry crawled up my throat as I kissed him again and again, moisture pooling in my eyes. He slowed, his movements turning gentle.

“I missed you,” I sobbed. “Even when I didn’t remember you, I missed you, and I love you, and I-I?—”

He kissed the tear that rolled down my cheek. “Never again, baby.”

I wound my arms around him and buried my face in the crook of his neck.

We would never be separated again.

Never torn apart again.

Never broken again.

Sparks licked at his skin, sending bursts of blue light through the haze, joined by the orange glow that started beneath my waist. My lips parted, eyes nearly rolling into my skull when his flames caressed my breasts and circled my nipples.

More flames licked at my clit, and my spine bowed, but I had nowhere to go, caged beneath his body, speared on his cock.

“Rogue,” I pleaded. “Please.”

His breath fanned over my throat as he whispered, “Tell me what you need.”

I stuttered over my words before managing, “More.”

I felt his grin before he pressed a kiss to my mate mark and flipped me onto my stomach, lifted my hips into the air, and sheathed himself. I let out a choked cry as he hit that sensitive spot inside me again and again and again.

“Too much,” I rasped, shaking my head, nails curling into the stone. “It’s t-too much.”

He curled his fingers around my throat and lifted me until my body was flush to his, his other hand splayed over my stomach. “And you’ll take it all, won’t you?”

I nodded, panting as I arched into him and slid my fingers into his hair at the nape of his neck. His hand sank to the apex of my thighs, and I forgot how to breathe altogether.

He tormented my sensitive clit, and fire coiled in my belly, his thrust growing more erratic.

He would destroy every inch of me, shatter my soul into pieces, and I would let him.

I’d let him do anything he wanted to me with a love-drunk smile on my face as long as destruction felt as glorious as this.

His name floated from me on a moan, a plea, a prayer.

He let out a low laugh and urged me forward until I was on all fours again. He followed me down, brushing his lips over my shoulder to the base of my neck. “Shatter for me.”

Sharp teeth pierced my mate mark, and I splintered into a thousand tiny pieces. My entire body tensed, head thrown back as he pounded into me, dragging out my orgasm until he exploded with a growl.

Breathing heavily, he slid his hands up my waist and pressed a soft kiss between my shoulder blades. He kissed his way up my spine to my shoulder, my throat. I turned my head, and he trailed his way to my mouth as he eased out of me.

Rolling onto his back, he dragged me with him. I threw a leg over his, lying my head on his chest, ready to sleep for a day or two, but he tipped my chin up.

“You remember me,” he said, though it almost sounded like a question, eyes flitting between mine like he was afraid to believe it.

My heart ached. “Yes, love, I remember you. I remember everything.”

With a slow, shuddering breath, he closed his eyes and wrapped an arm around my shoulders.

I snuggled into him and closed my eyes, too. “When we wake up, can we go home?”

He gave me a quick squeeze, his voice sleepy as he murmured, “I am home.”

“Draig Hearth, then,” I said, a faint smile on my lips. “Can we go to Draig Hearth?”

“I’ll take you anywhere.”
